Miss Bianca Kósa's Story

The sun began to dawn and rise upon a new day in Walt Town. Some of the shops were beginning to open at dawn, and the birds arose out of their nests and singing a morning tune. It was another typical morning in this humble little town, where not so humble people lived. Some were loveable. And some were... not so loveable. But they managed to find a way to get along civilly...



Awoof! Arf! Ark!

The unmistakable feel of a slobbery tongue sliding across his cheek brought Basil out of his short slumber. He blinked his eyes open, coming face to face with his basset hound 'Toby'. He smiled a little before pushing him away, causing him to fall off of Basil's chest and onto the newspaper-skewered floor. "Honestly Toby, have some decency." Basil told his dog, slowly sitting upright and dragging a hand down his face. He had fallen asleep on his couch last night, having spent most of the evening at the library and then laying on his couch working out puzzles from newspapers until about 3am. He never really slept that much. He tended to find that sleep was a waste of time. Why waste time sleeping when he could spend his time working out more puzzles? "You're a smart boy, you don't need to slobber everywhere..." He glanced down to his dog, now rolling around on his back and swatting at his nose. He smiled slightly and then scratched the dopey dog's tummy before getting to his feet and getting dressed into his typical clothes.

This town had been slightly boring for Basil lately. There didn't seem to be any crimes, any mysteries... everyone seemed vaguely happy with what was going on in their lives more recently. No one was being threatened, no one was dying... No nothing. Having a police investigator for this town seemed positively pointless. However, it seemed like that was the only job Basil was good at. Basil attached a lead to Toby's collar and ruffled his ears slightly, tying his scarf around his neck and then walking out the door of his messy home. He walked down the sidewalk, taking a newspaper from a stand and tossing a couple of coins to the owner. He flicked through it and allowed Toby to decide where they went today. After all, it wasn't like he was in a rush to get anywhere. He just needed to walk.



Miss Bianca had been sat by her windowsill, watching the sun rise with a delighted smile. "It's so bootiful. I don't think I could have a better view." she commented, looking around the room and then smiling, before suddenly remembering she was still alone. Her smile faltered a little, before she turned back towards the window and looked at the rising sun. Her hair still sat neatly upon her shoulders, even when she had just rolled out of bed. She found that she was always captivated by the beautiful sights of the town. It was just something that'd always catch her attention. Miss Bianca dived off of her windowsill and then got ready to go outside, changing into a beautiful Purple dress and flat heeled sandals. She let her hair hang in gentle waves and then picked up a purple bag which carried money, a phone, and her makeup. After doing her makeup and spraying herself with perfume, she left her house, heading in the direction of the town centre.

Miss Bianca had always been one to leave her house early. She hoped to meet some of the townsfolk who worked this early in the morning. And if there wasn't, she'd tend to read a book whilst sitting on a bench. Well, she would prefer being able to talk with others, but if no one was around, she didn't mind reading either. Miss Bianca smiled as she walked into town, greeting people and then looking into the windows of some of the shops. She wondered if any of the younger residents of the town, such as Kathrine, Dot, Violet or Pinocchio would be around today. Usually they were in school, or in Kathrine's case, working on the farm. But it was a saturday. Surely they could have at least one day free...

Kida tossed over in her bed, but in doing so allowed the sun's bright rays to beam on her face. Using a hand to shield her eyes, she yawned and pulled the blankets off her body. "Good morning to you too, Mr. Sun," she mumbled quietly as she slipped out of bed. She quickly got changed into a blue tube top and a pair of dark denim jeans. Looking over at the clock, she nodded in satisfaction; same time as yesterday. Once she combed through her hair, she grabbed her white jacket and her bag, and headed out the door.

The town had begun to come to life. People were greeting each other good morning as usual, what a lovely place. "Off to the school again young miss?" Came a question from an elderly man. She nodded and replied, "Yes sir, apparently there is school today for the children!" After a wave she continued on her way to the school. Kida had also wanted to attend school with the other children, but apparently she was 3 years to old to attend high school. People of her age had to attend something known as 'college' or 'university'. It wasn't like she had the money, means of transportation, or any ready ability to be able to attend. Instead, she earned herself a job as a doctor's assistant. There wasn't much to do around the clinic since it was a small town, so she asked to work at the school whenever she could.

Passing by the town center, she saw a familiar figure dressed in a lovely purple and waved. "Good morning Miss Bianca!" She greeted cheerfully.

Miss Bianca looked up and then broke into a grin, closing her book and smiling. "Good morning you two!" She commented cheerily, getting to her feet. "It is a delightful day, is it not?" she commented, glancing to the sky, and then looking back down to Kida and Selena. She liked the fellow two ladies. Both of them were rather nice, but both were nice for different reasons. Selena on one hand acted a bit mean at times, but could also seem like she was very sweet and just wanted a friend. Whereas Kida just seemed nice all the time. Both were rather beautiful, in Bianca's opinion. They may not have thought it at times, but they were.

She walked towards the two, lifting her bag a little over her shoulder. "Early morning for you two, isn't it? I thought people would be, uh, 'sleeping in' on a day like a saturday." She commented curiously. Bianca was oblivious to the working class life. She obviously assumed it was much more laid-back than it actually was. Miss Bianca smiled at the two girls. "Have you two got work today? Or would it be a possible day for some good company?" She grinned, hoping the second would be the answer. She got rather lonely sometimes. If people were working, she'd more often than not just visit those people while they were working, claiming she was 'shopping' or something.

"A delightful day it is." She replied. She always greeted Miss Bianca as well, 'Miss Bianca'. It was just the way everyone referred to her, and it just seemed odd to just call her 'Bianca'. Kida also had a feeling if she forgot the 'Miss', she worried the lady might be offended. Aside from that, Miss Bianca was very lovable and she enjoyed her company very much. Her enthusiasm was very refreshing. Then, her attention was caught by a small voice on the side. Turning her head she realized someone in a waitress' outfit had greeted her. With a small smile she said, "Good morning, Selena." She gave a wave to the waitress.

With a laugh, Kida replied, "Some of us work on Saturdays Miss Bianca. Today is an odd day for me, seeing that the school is open today. Rather strange, wouldn't you agree?" Kida looked at her watch and summed up her day in her head. "Well, at the moment I'm heading over to the school, so a day out isn't possible. But in a few hours I'll be free. How about I give you a call?" She said to the platinum haired beauty. She would have suggested for Miss Bianca to come accompany her to the school, but she wasn't sure whether or not someone like her would enjoy something like a noisy school full of children. She was aware she liked them, but high school brought out the worst in kids.

Selena seemed to be bidding goodbye, so Kida said a goodbye in return with a wave. The girl was rather odd. Kida didn't dislike her, she just wondered when it was appropriate to converse with her. The mood swings she had were rather untimely. She could be friendly sometimes, but then angry and spiteful the next. Speaking of which, now she was tearing up. "Selena, are you alright?" She asked.

Miss Bianca smiled towards the two, though it faltered a little at the way that Selena's face dropped. She looked rather upset about... something. She wasn't sure what. But by the time she was about to ask something, Selena was already saying she was on her way. When Selena had started walking off, Bianca gave her a wave and called, "Farewell Selena!" She tilted her head as she watched the girl. Selena was certainly something different. Most of the people around Walt Town were rather happy in their own way. However, Selena never seemed to be particularly happy. Either sad and grouchy, or putting on a smile to keep people quiet. She only wished she could make her feel happier...

Miss Bianca's head lifted when Kida mentioned working on saturdays and raised an eyebrow. "OH, so that's why the youths of this town seem, bizarrely, hidden away, no?" She questioned with a grin. She tilted her head and then broke out into a massive grin. "A call would be wonderful Kida." She said with a gentle nod. "Oh, would you like any help around with the school? I always like to be an extra pair of helping hands." She said with a eager grin. "And I'm sure the kids are no different from the kids I usually talk to from day to day life. What is it that you need to do when you go into the school?" She asked curiously, coming slightly closer to Kida.

"Odd girl isn't she? I find her rather pitiable, though I wish I could use another adjective." She said as Selena walked away. Kida felt bad for the girl, but what could she do? It's not like the girl was going to easily open up to her, or anyone else for that matter.

Turning back to Miss Bianca she smiled. "Yes, it explains why the town's so peaceful this morning." She said with a laugh. Hearing Miss Bianca offer to come to the school with her eyebrow rose slightly, amused. "Really now Miss Bianca? They're rowdy young teenagers. But, if you don't mind, I don't see why not." Kida enjoyed Miss Bianca's company, so it made her quite happy to hear that she was going to join her today. "There isn't much to do. I general just do miscellaneous tasks here and there." She started to explain. Kida had begun walking again and motioned to Miss Bianca. "I'm a bit late, so you won't mind talking along the way right?"

As she walked towards the school's direction Kida continued. "Sometimes kids come in to skip class. It's not like we can deny that they're feeling ill, so I just make sure they stay out of trouble. Maybe keep them company as well. Small little things. I'm not qualified to actually administer medicine or anything, but I help in whatever way I can." She liked her job, she really did, but she wished that she could do more than be just assistant. There was no helping it. Kida had no education, and her reading was only at the high school level. She didn't understand a lot of the harder vocabulary. "I'm sure the nurse wouldn't mind the extra hand, it's a friendly town after all."

Miss Bianca came up beside her, following along and listening quietly to Kida's list of things they had to do and nodded as she listened. "Okay. I'm pretty sure I could at least, uh, try to help." She said, nodding gently and then smiling up to the other girl. In truth, she did really like Kida. She was one of the few people around town who she thought actually liked being around her because she liked who she was. Not because she had wealth or she felt obliged to. Well, she hoped anyway. From time to time, she had had the smallest of crushes on the girl, but then she just shooed it away, assuming that Kida had a lovely boyfriend and was going to grow up together with him...

"Uhm, miscellaneous... that, uh, means...?" She blinked a couple of times to Kida, feeling a little stupid. "I'm sorry, my English is pretty good, but still, I don't know everything." She said, blushing a little but fanning it away. She quite casually got out her perfume bottle and sprayed it at herself, before putting it away and looking up to the school as they approached it. She had a gentle smile, seeing some of the kids staring out of the windows. She gave one a small wave, and received a stare in return. "Oh dear... I think he is, how you say... annoyed?" She said, blinking a couple of times at the different kids before continuing to follow Kida to the first aid room.

She was pretty sure that she'd be okay with just giving the kids company and helping with the odd medical helping hands here and there. She did, after all, like to help anyone, and didn't really mind getting her hands dirty. Just as long as she'd be able to clean herself up afterwards, of course. "Oh Kida, I'm sure you'd make a marvelous nurse. Why, I could picture you, bandaging up swollen limbs, or, stitching up cuts." Miss Bianca smiled towards the other female and then brushed her dress down a little. "And I'm sure you'd be popular with lots and lots of doctors, no?" She smiled at Kida, nudging her a little and giggling slightly.

Kida let out a chuckle as she explained the new word. "Miscellaneous. I like that word as well. When I learned it I knew I would love using it. It means 'of various types', 'mixed', 'diverse'. Basically, by miscellaneous tasks I mean a lot of different little errands." Kida smiled proudly after defining the word. She loved learning words, but they just weren't her strong point, so when she was able to explain one without a dictionary, it made her feel all happy inside. The young woman wrinkled her nose a little when Miss Bianca sprayed herself again. It seemed to be a recurring habit with her. It's not that she didn't like the smell of her perfume, it's just that she thought perfume was strong enough to last a whole day after one spray. Miss Bianca smelled fine. Not that she sniffed around her all the time or anything.

With another small laugh Kida replied, "Well, swollen limbs and cuts that require stitching are more on the... serious side. We just tend to get girls whining from their time of the month or the occasional stomach or head ache, nothing much." Kida felt her cheeks grow warm but she managed to shrug her shoulders. "No... I don't think so. But I'm sure you'd be very popular with the kids Miss Bianca. You're known as a beauty throughout the town." She complimented.

As they made their way through the halls it looked like the kids were transitioning from their classes. Kida threaded her arm through Miss Bianca's and walked through the hall, not wanting to lose her in the sea of students. Kids just tended to part their way for the adults, so it wasn't too much of a trip to make it through. There were a few hellos said to her here and there, and she returned each with a smile and a nod. It turned out her first and last name were difficult for students to pronounce so she went by 'Miss Kida', but there were a few who just called her 'Nurse', 'Miss', or 'Kida'; though she tended to reprimand them if they used that last one. Kida pulled Miss Bianca in the nurse's office and sighed. "Made it through alive."

Miss Bianca found that her stomach twisted when her arms suddenly linked with Kida's. She wasn't that used to close human contact, and this close certainly did feel special to her. She kept the happy feeling inside quiet and then turned her attention back to the people around her. She smiled at some of the students as they walked through the hallway, recieiving a few glances from some of the older students. In reality, Miss Bianca wasn't that much older than the upper year students. She was only 20, meaning that she was only two years older than some of the students. "Oh, Miss Kida!" Miss Bianca grinned when she heard Kida being called that. She nudged Kida slightly and then laughed a little. "You being called that is just like me being called Miss Bianca, no?" She giggled a little and then continued following her. "It seems you're more important and higher up than you thought." She pointed out with a small nod.

Miss Bianca looked round when she heard a wolf-whistle and smiled at the boy who had done it, before looking back towards the way they were going. "Ah, what a tuneful grouping of youths..." She commented, peeking down at the end of the hallway and seeing the little office with someone sitting at the front desk. She held onto Kida a little tighter and then tilted her head a little, biting her lip.

"Oh, are you sure she will not mind my helping out? I do not want to cause any trouble...." Miss Bianca tilted her head at the woman sitting at her desk, looking rather bored and down. She was pretty sure she didn't want to make that frown any worse and certainly didn't want to be any unnecessary hassle. She had done that many times in the past, and it just made her feel guilty afterwards. One thing she hated more than people who purposely tried to cause hassle, it was when she caused problems herself by accident...

"It's only because I'm older," she said with a smile, "no matter where we are, everyone calls you Miss Bianca. I'm referred to as 'Miss' in the school only." Hearing a whistle or two, Kida suddenly became protective, wanting to get through the kids sooner. She had no idea why it annoyed her so much, it wasn't different from any other day. The only difference was that Miss Bianca was with her. Did it bother her that they were whistling at the other woman? When they had finally reached the nurse's office she was relieved.

Realizing she her arms were still linked with Miss Bianca's she hastily retreated herself. Looking up at the nurse she whispered to Miss Bianca, "Oh, that's how she usually is. Being surrounded by immature teenagers day in and day out can do that to you, don't worry." Kida gave a small wave to the nurse, and when the older woman noticed her stern face temporarily softened to smile back. Kida walked over to the desk to explain Miss Bianca's presence. The nurse shook her head, saying it was no problem and she was grateful for the help. The older nurse looked over at Miss Bianca and gave a nod. Turning her head back to Kida she said, "Keep her out of trouble though." With a happy laugh she replied, "Yes ma'am."

Kida quickly returned to Miss Bianca's side to tell her the good news, when suddenly a large man approached them. He was obviously not a student. "Hello there," she greeted. "Ah, the principal's office? You should have seen it when you walked in, it's at the other end of the hall, just follow the signs." Kida quickly thought it over and offered, "I'll take you. Miss Bianca, care for another walk?"

Basil had already sat down at the table, holding a menu and looking through it as he listened to Jessica ask about her queries and doubts about the town. In reality, Basil was suspicious of Walt Town ever since he arrived here. But, that suspicious vibe caused him to want to stay for longer, just to find out more about this little town. "Perfect is an understatement Miss Rabbitheart." He commented, trailing his finger down the menu. "When was the last time you saw roadworks or building contruction being done? Even when everything around here looks up to date... And, have you never questioned how the media has never been able to follow you even when you were found in the most secluded places?" Basil pinched at his chin and rubbed it gently. "A lot of people in this town have come here to get away from their old lives, whatever happened. You're fame in your younger years, Selena's abandonment, it all lead to coming here." He lowered the menu and looked up to Selena. "Tea please, five sugars and skimmed milk." He said before looking around. "Do you allow smoking in here?"

***************

Miss Bianca shrugged gently. "I wouldn't mind being called Bianca. I've never complained because everyone seems... so fond of adding the miss." Miss Bianca shrugged lightly and then felt that Kida had sped up a little, soon having to speed up her pace to keep up. She had wondered slightly at first before they arrived at the nurses office, and Kida explained the reasoning behind the nurses' sad face. She nodded slowly and then watched as Kida walked over to the woman. Whilst she did, Miss Bianca looked around, noticing some of the medical kits on the wall and looking curiously to them.

She was unsure herself as to how people could be talented enough to do this kind of stuff... but, she was willing to give it a go. After all, she liked helping, and what better way than to be in the medical department for a school. However, she knew for sure that she would need Kida there, helping her along the way. After all, she knew nothing about that in the medical department.

Miss Bianca looked round when the man had approached and then looked to Kida when she replied to his question. She thought at first that Kida was going to go with the man alone to show her, but then she invited herself along with her. She smiled, holding her purple clutch-bag in front of her with both hands. "Why of course! I should probably have more of a look around the place that I'm helping out, no?" She smiled and laughed a little. "I do not wish to get lost in a school full of children. Who knows what humorous things they would do." she said, smiling to the two.

"Mmm" Jessica replied, shifting through her menu, "And I'll have a glass of water, please" she finally said, folding up her menu again and giving Selena one of her most famous smiles. "I came here to get away from Rodger's burden, Mr. Basil, not my fame" she said, then looking back towards him, the smile on her face shrinking as she spoke, "Alas, I see your point. Everyone came here to get away from something.. though I have a feeling we are all getting more into another something.." she said, her voice low as if there was someone watching over them. Truly, Jessica though someone was watching them, cameras hidden everywhere, but she couldn't prove it and she didn't think her suspicion would interest Basil. Jessica leant forward and crossed her arms over her chest, resting her elbows on the table, "Are you onto something, Mr. Basil?" she said in her low voice, a cheeky smile growing on her lips.

(I clicked on Bianca's name accidentally, sorry)

Kida thought about the possibility of just dropping the 'Miss' and calling her Bianca. It would mean that the two were quite familiar would it not? She tried picturing herself greeting Miss Bianca more informally, but she just couldn't. With an awkward laugh she said, "I guess it suits you. I've called you Miss Bianca since we've met so I can't seem to just drop it now."

Walking out into the hallway, she quickly made sure the man in the jumpsuit was following. After a quick check she resumed talking to Miss Bianca. "Humorous, huh? More like immature." She muttered to herself. She had remembered that the young lady was looking around the nurse's office enthusiastically. She was probably excited thinking about the possibilities of work she could do. Actually, there really wasn't much. Kida barely touched first aid kits unless she needed an extra bandage. Kida tried to imagine Miss Bianca sitting by a nauseous student and maybe reading a story to them, or something like that. The thought made her chuckle. At the same time, it made her feel a little envious about the students that could possibly receive Miss Bianca's attention and care.

Once they had reached the end of the hall where the principal's office was she stopped and extended her arm out to the door. Now that she took a close look at the man, he seemed to be a bit older than the two of them. She hadn't seen him around before, perhaps he worked somewhere that she didn't frequent. In Walt Town, it was hard to not know somebody, considering the size of the town. Majority of the town was friendly and outgoing, a trait that Kida adored. However this man seemed reserved and nervous. It made her curious. Was she hard to speak to? She considered herself a very friendly person. "This way, uhm... mister...?" She trailed off realizing he hadn't introduced himself.

Basil scratched his chin and then broke into a small smile. "I just may be... by-george I just may be." He said, breaking into an excited grin. Finally, maybe there's something interesting happening in this horrible diminutive town. He thought to himself before hearing Selena ask him a question. "Pardon? Oh, I've known for quite some time, Miss. Lopez. I thought it was obvious to most." He drummed his fingers on the table, looking back down to the paper as he spoke. "The way you put on a smile for everyone, apart from Penny within this store. It's obvious, when you genuinely smile, you do not commit jittery eye movement and a need to put your hand in your pocket. Oh, and that leads onto accidentally holding a certain object that's close to you. When you touch it, your facial features fall and you have to be excused. The only explanations are a loss of a family member or something else. But, you have a lack of makeup and tend to be rather awkward in social events. It simply implies that you wish for people to not be attracted to you or draw attention to you. The only explanation is that you were left in a relationship, and are fearful of being abandoned again." Basil turned the page on his paper. "Honestly, you've been here a fair few years now, I would've thought most people would know that by now..." He glanced up to her. "Is tea done?" He asked, blinking a couple of times.

***

Miss Bianca followed along next to Kida, smiling at the students as she went past and leaning in close to Kida as she walked. She'd decided that Kida was a good friend of hers. Well, she hoped anyway. Miss Bianca never really took on that many friends, being able to tell when someone acted kindly to her because of her wealth. Well, a lot of people knew her family, and therefore new of the 'Kósa' name. However, that was why she preferred being known as 'Miss Bianca'. It was purely her first name and nothing more.

However, the thing is with Kida, she seemed to have carried on talking to her, even when Miss Bianca had been bothering her from time to time. She just seemed so friendly, and so nice. Everything about her, Miss Bianca seemed to like. And when Kida made a joke, it actually made her laugh, and vice versa. She heard the statement about the kids and laughed a little. "Oh, but they do seem lovely. Heyles, one of them could be president one day, and they are our future! They shall be people to be proud of, I'm sure." She smiled to Kida and then looked around. She didn't mean to appear so confident in people, but it was how she was. She truly was enthusiastic about young people and making sure they achieved the things they needed to.

When they had made it to the principles office, Miss Bianca became a little curious, peeking into the office through the window whilst Kida and the other man had a chat. "I'm Scott.... Scott Porter. I work at the monkey exhibit in the Walt Town Zoo and I am here to talk to the principal about the advertizing the school trip to the zoo." "Oh! The zoo, how wonderful!" Miss Bianca said after he had explained everything, grinning and turning towards him holding her hands to her chest in front of her. "The zoo is, how you say... eye-opening! I only wish those poor animals could have more freedom. However, it would be an amazing experience, I am sure." She grinned and then held nodded her head towards Scott. "I'm Miss Bianca. It's a pleasure to meet you Mister Scott Porter." She said with a small grin.

Kida nodded and finished her sentence. "Mister Porter. Nice to meet you." She tried rewriting his name in her mind over and over, a method she would tend to use to memorize new words. In a way, meeting new people was similar to learning new words. She had to learn names and not forget them. Well, it wasn't a necessity to know everyone, but she wanted to. Everyone was so interesting in this town that she looked forward to meeting someone new.

"Oh, sorry we haven't introduced herself." Kida waited for Miss Bianca to finish introducing herself before she started her own introduction. "My name is Kidagakash Nedahk, but everyone just calls me Kida. You can probably see why." She said with a laugh. "The principal is right inside, though you may have to wait." She said to Scott.

Hearing that he was a representative from the zoo her face had lit up. The animals she had seen in the children books had always fascinated her. Every living thing actually fascinated her, but the zoo contained many exotic animals she wished she could see up close. She had heard of a zoo nearby, but she didn't think it was Walt Town's very own. There was just so much more to this town than she would have every though. It didn't seem to be just any provincial town.

She agreed with Bianca about the animals though. They always looked so constrained and sad whenever she saw pictures of them in books. She couldn't imagine herself being trapped in a pen all day long. Soon enough an idea popped in her head. "Shall we head on over to the zoo after we are done here at the school Miss Bianca?" She asked enthusiastically. She herself was excited to go, and Miss Bianca seemed just as anxious. They could spend a whole day together at the zoo!

"Shall we head on over to the zoo after we are done here at the school Miss Bianca?" Miss Bianca beamed brightly and then eagerly nodded, her face lighting up immediately at the thought. Finally some time to get to know Kida. Properly. It had been bugging her so long that she didn't actually know all that much about Kida. Simply the things that everyone else knew. She wanted to get to know the girl more than any other everyday citizen. Who knows, maybe today would be the day when she'd actually be able to feel more comfortable around the other girl. Kida was certainly a respectable person in her eyes.

However, before Miss Bianca could respond to Kida herself in any form, Scott had interrupted... "Once I am done with my business here I could give you guys a tour of the zoo and show you around. I don't work until later." Miss Bianca's stomach dropped a little, and she felt a little bit of disappointment. She wouldn't have the guts to say to their faces that she didn't want Scott there and just wanted to be alone with Kida... Nor would she admit it to herself. However, she couldn't help but drop her excited expression slightly... Only to bring it back again and look between the two.

"Why that sounds surely fantastical! I would love to spend the day at the zoo. And to have a guide, why, that would be splendid." Miss Bianca smiled at the two of them, giving them a delightful smile and then sighing gently. Well, at least she would still be able to spend some sort of time with Kida. Though, saying that, the way Scott kept on looking at Kida made her a little suspicious. This town was well known for having a break-out of 'true love'. It could be seen as romantic at times around here, and she just hoped that Scott wouldn't try to flirt with Kida. She didn't want to get jealous, after all. It was just something that would be unpleasant for all of them...

Her spirits were lifted when Miss Bianca nodded in agreement, but just as quickly dropped to hear that the Scott person was offering to tag along as a guide. Kida smiled kindly at the man, trying to be grateful and not wanting to be rude.

"Ah... would you sir? That would be lovely." She said.

She tried to think more on the positive side. She would still be spending the day with Miss Bianca, a chance that she hadn't come across since she first met her, and she would get to go look around the zoo with someone knowledgeable about it. It wasn't going to be so bad right? The zoo was going to have to wait though. She hadn't done anything since she arrived at the school, and she would need to complete those tasks first.

"It looks like our times don't work out too well, Mr. Porter. You see by the time I finish up here at the school you'll be back on duty." Kida said as heavily as she could. "We will definitely stop by the zoo later, so bye for now if we don't manage to see you again."

Kida tugged on Miss Bianca's arm again, motioning that she wanted to return to the nurse's office and get her job over and done with. She then realized that unlike herself, Miss Bianca didn't have an obligation to stay. She could go off with Mr. Porter and enjoy the zoo. The thought of the the zoo-keeper spending the day with Miss Bianca in place of herself made her feel slightly... what was it... uncomfortable? She didn't seem to like the idea.

"Oh.. uhm... Miss Bianca you can go ahead and go if you like. I have to stay and finish up some things but you should go have some fun." She suggested.

Basil nodded along gently to what he said, holding his chin between his thumb and forefinger, thinking carefully. "It's very much like a fairytale..." He blinked a couple of times, mindlessly scratching the head of his dog. "...It's just very deceitful." He said carefully, shaking his head a little and then retying his scarf, purely to keep his hands busy. "But Watson, what you've missed, which takes place in most of the town is the way the town is run. I mean, who actually runs this town? I don't see any mayor. And yet, there seems to be very little scandals and disagreements around here. It's as if we're forced to follow some unknown rules." Basil carefully picked up his tea and looked over to Watson. "It's just suspicious if you ask me..." He commented, sighing gently.

Basil blinked a couple of times at Watson, tilting his head slightly. It crossed his mind as to why nobody had ever introduced Watson to himself, or the other way around. The other man was also involved in trying to protect his country, or in Basil's case going for a chase, and he'd seen Zaz down at the police station a couple of times. However, whilst Basil was mixing chemicals together and matching DNA, Zaz seemed to just talk to the fellow police officers about his opinion, trying to help out in any way possible. He was an honourable man. But Basil often just didn't talk to people who were honourable. He put his focus into fellons, trying to get them to become imprisoned for good. "I do not believe we've officially introduced ourselves." He said formally, holding out his hand. "B. Basil."

Miss Bianca blinked a couple of times when Kida brought up going with Scot and then gently shook his head. "No no no! I mean, two hands are better than one, aren't they?" she said quickly with a smile, quickly pulling herself forwards and clipping their arms back together again, smiling to the girl.

It wasn't like she had anything against Scott. She was sure that Scott was a very sweet, very nice boy, and she would like to get to know him more. However, at this current point, her focal point was upon Kida, and she wanted to keep it like that. After all, she did seem to want to spend more time with the other girl, even if it meant helping to speed up the work she did. She didn't mind anyway, she felt like she wanted to help.

"So, Miss Kida." Miss Bianca said with a grin, tugging her along down the hallway happily. "What kinds of things will I be able to do as a member of staff? It surely does sound exciting, I must say." She said with a grin, leaning into Kida slightly as they walked along, side by side.

Kida tried to hide the little happiness that built up inside her. Just the fact that Miss Bianca was going to stay with her instead of go off with Scott made her feel rather nice about herself. It didn't bother her at all that the two were walking arm in arm and in close proximity. It was a bit nerve wrecking she had to admit, but it wasn't the bad kind.

"Oh, Miss Bianca I keep telling you there really is not much we can do. I'm afraid most of the time will be rather dull." She said with a small laugh.

She wished that there could be something for her to do, but it wasn't up to her whether or not a student got injured on school property. Kida navigated back to the nurse's office with Miss Bianca, greeting the head nurse again that appeared to not have moved an inch since they left. The older woman gave a nod and that was all. As if doing so reluctantly, Kida slipped out of Miss Bianca's hold and moved over to the cabinet where they kept all their supplies and medication.

"Oh, dear... What a mess." She sighed.

Well, that was something to do, but she would rather not make Miss Bianca start off with something so... boring. Instead, an idea came to her and she grinned. "Miss Bianca," she called, "go sit on that bed over there would you?"

She didn't provide an explanation and ushered her to follow what she was saying. Kida straightened out her nurse's jacket and pulled a stethoscope off the rack. She tapped her finger on her lip, wondering what else she needed. Everything else should be near the bed. The young assistant strode over to the bed she told Miss Bianca to take a seat on. Taking the stethoscope that was wrapped around her neck she inserted the buds into her ears and held up the 'bell' to Miss Bianca.

"Ready for a checkup Miss Kosa?"

((I'm gonna see if anyone's still around :D))

Basil tilted his head and blinked a couple of times at the way that Watson moved from one table to the other, concentrating though not clearly showing it through his expression. "Involvement? Ha. I rarely see you involved in anything, sitting on that bench of yours that might as well have your name engraved within it." He commented. He honestly never thought he was being rude when he came out with comments like this. A lot of the time, he was just saying the truth and what ran through his head. Almost like what Simon Cowell would be like. "Though watching is always a helpful aspect. I'm more often than not one to watch myself. My involvements are never personal issues, but a job that captures my interest." Basil carefully scratched at his chin, taking more of his coffee and swishing it around a little before narrowing his eyes slightly and looking to Zaz' cane.

"How did you do it?" Basil asked, gesturing to his leg and the cane. It was a simple question and it didn't occur to him that he may not wish to discuss it. It was one of those things that he would not take personally himself and therefore wouldn't expect others to take personally either. "Something you did before you became a people watcher?"

Miss Bianca's face lit up, unable to help herself as she burst into giggles at the thought of a 'check up' done by Kida. She almost jumped onto the bed and then sat up quickly to bat her hair down and straighten it out.

"A check up done by one of the finest nurses around, yes?" She asked, tittering a little as she looked to the stethoscope with curiosity. She honestly couldn't remember the last time she had a check up done. The last one, she was told to have perfect health. And even after plenty of offers from members of her family and such, she denied it, telling them that there were some people who needed medical treatment much more than she did.

"What would I need to do Miss Kida? Lift up my shirt, yes?" She asked curiously, before realising that she was wearing a dress... She wondered how they'd make it around that one. She wouldn't mind having to take it off, if it was a check up. So long as nobody would come in and see her like that.
