Erika stared at them for a second before asking, "Can I at least watch?" She was extremely tempted to infect the chocolate, but she knew better than that. For now.

"Well aside from you basket and some food and such," Jordan pointed out. He was lucky that the school was selling baskets and was even giving students mantles for them to set up their own picnics if they wanted to, though he figured it was just something more to get the students to stick to the school. "Aside from that, I thought about maybe buying her a present, it is valentines day and I think someone as great as her deserves it," he chuckled.

***

Daisy nodded her head and laughed a bit. "I heard you had some problem going onstage, I'm glad to see you're a bit better now."

***

"Oooooh, interesting," Freed teased before kissing her back. "Plus I'm glad we finally get to spend some proper time together, the last month and so have been tough," he said with a sigh of frustration.

"Okay so you need help choosing food and a present. Let's start with the food. You want to get food that isn't messy, and simple to eat outside. So some sandwiches. Personally I think going with a simple PB&J is best, but I would say go for the kind she likes. Chips, get something flavored. Like salt and vinegar. Not too messy and doesn't turn your fingers red, yet doesn't need a dip of some kind. A nice desert would be something like brownies or cookies, or even pudding. Chocolate pudding sounds delicious right now, anyways drinks. Get something that is okay warm. Soda or water is your best choice. Unless you want wine for you too. If so go talk to Nate," Zima told Jordan.

``````````````````````````
"I know. It's so nice to finally have a break. Now then how about we go get something to eat. There is a stall for building a picnic," Sicilia suggested, taking Freed's hand and walking towards the stalls.

Nathan chuckled at that. It was true, he had struggled with that in the past. "That's what I've been doing... well what I spent my sabbatical from this school doing. I realized that I shouldn't hide myself from the world because I don't want to deal with everything outside of the music. That I can get on stage, put on a good show... and let the rest take care of itself." Nathan said quietly. "I got so caught up in avoiding nonsense that I ended up causing it for myself."

"A little bit yes," Daisy nodded her head in agreement. She wasn't in agreement with what Nathan did to Erika, but she was at least glad that he was taking it better than she thought. "Okay then I think we should get back to this before time runs out."

***

"Sure, just wear this," Olive said before putting a mouth mask over Erika's mouth and nose, she then handed her a box filled with tissues. "And use these if you feel like sneezing...and these," she stopped talking for a moment before handing Erika a pair of gloves. "Okay, I think that's all."

"I think that might be an overreaction," Basil pointed out with a confused chuckle.

"You sure you're feeling okay Erika?" Dia asked curiously as he looked towards his senior.

***

"Oh that's a good idea," Freed nodded his head in agreement with Sicilia as he walked along with her. "I didn't think the school would put so much thought into it this year."

***

Jordan couldn't help but laugh once Zima brought up the mention of Nathan. "Yeah I guess he's the guy to go to for that," he nodded his head and covered his mouth with his hand before looking at Zima. "You know, you really are the perfect person to help me out with this," he replied calmly while giving her a sincere smile. "Now I'll just need a present."

***

"You seem depressed," behind Danny stood a teenager with long black hair that went down past his neck and bangs that covered his forehead. He had crimson eyes and a soft slightly pale skin. "You're from the Assist Club aren't you?" Derek asked curiously as he looked at Danny.

"Thank you. Um anyways a present...well just get her whatever she likes. What are her interests?" she asked him. She was surprised she was able to talk to him so easily about everything even though he was confessing to someone that wasn't her. It was that natural interaction they had with each other that had been so stressed lately, yet for some reason at this moment they were just natural around each other like old times. She missed the feeling, and knew this was the last time for it. She wouldn't be able act like this once he had a girlfriend, and she had no doubt that she would accept his feelings.

````````````````````````
"Yes it's amazing. And the students make it all the more amazing. They are so talented," she replied tapping her chin in thought as she looked at the food choices for the picnic baskets, ignorant of Zima and Jordan right by them. "So what should we put in our basket?" she asked Freed.

`````````````````````````

"Yes I am...to all those questions. Why do you ask, and who are you?" Danny asked in reply.

Neil walked around the school, he hadn't been assigned to any task but Neil wanted to leave Jordan and Zima alone, after all, it was Valentines Day, and their feeling for each other weren't exactly well hidden, except to each other. Neil loved Valentines, after all, Neil was quite the hopeless romantic. Neil was dressed nicely, a neatly pressed black button up, sleeves rolled up, along with skinny blue jeans, black leather loafers, his hair, instead of it's usual short fauxhawk, now had his bangs slicked up and to the side. Neil also had put on the fake skin arm cover along with the cover for his fake eye to make it look real.

"Oh I know," Jordan nodded his head as a grin crossed his face, he then looked at Zima for a moment, almost as if he was thinking of something in regards to her.

A few minutes later he and Zima had gotten everything they needed, the basket, the mantle and even the food. In the end Jordan had decided to go with everything Zima had mentioned, mostly because he agreed with what she said and because he knew the girl he liked had those similar tastes. Jordan had also bought a present, though he bought it away from Zima and had put it in a small white box. "All right, now I'll just need you to accompany me to the place and help me set this up properly, that chocolate pudding looks delicious though."

***

Freed scratched his chin in thought. "I hear teachers are actually allowed to buy wine as long as we don't overdo it," he informed her before looking back at the baskets. "Oh, how about brownies?"

***

"I'm Derek," Derek nodded his head while pointing towards himself. "Sorry for all the questions, it's just I was curious since I've seen you guys around a bit and such, I think what you guys do is really interesting," he said while giving a look of admiration. "It must be really cool getting to go around and helping others out."

"Okay then, let's go," she told him, walking with him to the spot and helping set up the picnic.

````````````````````````

"Brownies sound good, and so does wine," Sicilia smiled at him. She also put grapes and strawberries in, figuring the fruit would be quite the fun thing to eat. Even better in private with whipped cream but that was for another time.

`````````````````

"Yeah I guess if you actually get to do anything. If you want to join though, then you need to talk to Jordan. He's the leader, I'm just a member," he wanted to add on barely, but instead muttered it to himself.

````````````````````
Lucina eventually found herself by the room with Zane and Sophie. Rather than walking away she figured she would greet them real quick, plus she was admittedly curious as to what Zane would say about her outfit. Bella had a pink ribbon around her neck, while Lucina wore a long sleeved pink shirt under a white tee that had a red heart on it. She wore a matching pink skirt and and stocking decorated with hearts and roses. White boots with red laces were used to finish off the outfit. Her goggles were absent and her hair held up with a white ribbon tied into a bow. "Happy Valentine's Day you too," she greeted them.

"Ooooh strawberries, I like the way you think," Freed replied as he helped Sicilia by carrying the basket. "So, how has everything been going?"

***

"Nah, I don't actually want to join really," Derek shook his head while holding his hand in front of Danny. "I mean, I like what you guys are doing but I feel that maybe your group is a bit too big for things, I've heard that there's been some friction here and there too and at the end of the day all of that just gets in the way of the goal you're trying to accomplish," he explained with a certain air of wisdom, his tone becoming a big more serious and preachy. "I do however want to create a club of my own, it's unusual for there to be two clubs that both deal with the same thing but I think the end result is worth it and the president's already approved it too, I just need a few members to start with."

***

Jordan led Zima towards an empty space, away from the festivities going all around the school. He looked towards the large fountain that looked over a grass field, shining with the light of the sun that was beginning to set. "So, what do you think?" Jordan asked her before he began setting up things. "I think it's a perfect spot, I hope she likes it."

"Same old same old. Oh I met your nephew by the way. He is a good kid. I enjoy having him in class. You can tell he is related to you considering how much everyone likes him."

`````````````````

"Okay and why are you telling me this? Do you want me to suggest some people because the only person I can think of is Madison in the Sports branch. She was going to join but didn't so maybe she would join yours," Danny shrugged.

```````````````````
"She'll love it. I know she will," Zima told him smiling gently.

"Don't you think this is a bit unnecessary?" Erika asked, staring at the tissues in her hand. She then looked up at Olive.

"Oh hey Lucina." Zane greeted, still focused on his scarf. "Why are yo-" He then saw her outfit. "You look pink today." It was hard to determine wether he was appalled or impressed.

"Oh wow Lucina, I just love that look on you!" Sophie said loudly. "And a Happy Valentine's Day to you." She added.

"Okay sure." Nathan nodded, realizing he had allowed himself to get distracted. "I do realize I messed up with her." He added as an afterthought. "A regret I'll carry for a long time."

"Olive is a bit of a clean freak you see," Basil replied with a slight chuckle, thinking that Erika did look a bit funny with everything that Olive put on her. "At least when she's not cooking, just deal with her for now and you should be fine."

"Oh maybe Erika can be the one that helps in tasting the chocolate when it's done,' Dia suggested.

***

"That seems about right," Freed nodded his head in thought. He didn't want to mention anything about what he knew in regards to Derek, plus part of him believed that maybe he had changed in the time he hadn't seen him. 'It's good to know he's fitting in and that you like him, I just hope he doesn't upstage me."

***

"Well I had considered her actually," Derek pointed out innocently before grinning at Danny. "But see, I also had something else in mind," he walked a bit closer to Danny, a sly grin on his face. "Judging by the fact you're here alone and you seemed frustrated I can tell that there's something bothering you, however I know most of your club has been dispatched in one task or another so I wondered why you were by yourself."

"Now I'm not saying anything specific but would be right to assume that maybe you get overlooked a bit?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "And that has caused you trouble too."

***

"Well as long as you know that what you did was wrong and feel bad about it then I guess that's okay," Daisy nodded her head while adjusting her glasses. "Learning from mistakes is also an important part of life after all."

***

"Well if you say so," Jordan replied, glad that Zima was willing to raise his hopes. "I mean I just don't know what I would do if it doesn't work, she's really beautiful and well she's always there for me so I feel bad if I mess up."

"So this is completely the same as before," Melissa smirked looking at the Valentine's decorations. "Same old cheesiness that makes me glad that I'm not here otherwise I'll be pressured by some guys in accepting them as a valentine but I still love this cheesy day," Melissa was back at the school to relax not that anyone really cared because they barely knew she even left except unless you were actually friends with her or in the sports branch.

"Single girls focusing on our careers. That's what it should be except that I'm not single and my bf had an under 19's tournament in Japan, so valentine's with my gals before my competition. Isn't life grand?" Emma smiled as she stood next to Melissa. "Does it really feel weird winning that many medals and having 1200 Twitter followers? Imagine once you reach the Commonwealth Games then you'll be popular."

"It is weird winning but I love that feeling," the brunette swimmer smiled "It is really odd being back at school and even more that I'm not a student and no one cares. It's even more odd that I'll be seeing the Assist Club members out and about, so that's kind of why I'm wearing sunglasses and a headscarf." Melissa pointed out the reason for her so-called disguise.

"Yes because people will not obviously realize that since you are 6 foot and basically you but great disguise." Emma rolled her eyes while sarcastically pointing out how stupid Melissa's disguise would be.

"People are stupid, Em, It will work." the Australian swimmer pointed out as they walked around.

"No one is that stupid, Melissa. No one is."

------------------

Madison on the other hand loved Valentine's Day, she was a massive romantic. "I love Valentine's Day, it is soooo romantic." The red hair teen smiled in delight while giving a little twirl. She was walking with her best friend Dana as they were talking about their love lives.

"Ah huh....hey Maddy did you hear that the Melissa swimmer is back for like a while. I heard it on the grapevine, she is a beautiful girl...." Dana was texting while walking, not really caring what Madison had to say.

"Let me guess, she isn't pretty as you." Madison rolled her eyes listening to Dana talk.

"Ahhh no anyway my boyfriend is calling me, so toodles Maddy," Dana just like that left leaving Madison alone wondering what was happening and if she could actually find Melissa and get some hints from her.

"I don't know. He just might, unless you make sure to upstage him today," Sicilia teased, giving a sly smile.

``````````````````
"Thanks Sophie. And Zane it's Valentine's day. It's a day to dress in red, white, and pink. So what ya two doing anyways?" she asked curiously.

````````````````````
"I hope it works out for you Jordan. You deserve a nice girl...um anyways I should get going. Wouldn't want to be here when she gets here. Might give her the wrong idea...so good luck," Zima said, starting to walk away.

```````````````
"As a matter of fact I am passed over a lot. It's annoying, and it does affect me in ways that it doesn't affect others," Danny admitted, feeling good about getting it off of his chest.

"Exactly," Derek pointed out with a look of realization once Danny cleared up his suspicion. "I mean, you're trying to help too right? and in the end it's making you miserable which just completely goes against what the club is supposed to do," he nodded his head sagely and put his hands on his hips before patting Danny's shoulder. "That's my complain with it, it seems like a really broken club, it has good intentions but it has a lot of holes that just cause problems for everyone at its core, again I'm not saying it shouldn't exist just that maybe there should be another club that tries to do things better."

***

"Oh? I'll try my best then," Freed replied with a smirk before kissing Sicilia again and putting his arms around her. "Though I'm pretty sure I can win."

***

Jordan nodded his head, he seemed relax even though Zima was actually distressed by helping him out, yet he was acting like nothing was going on. "Okay, I can understand," he replied and waved at her. "Thanks for helping out so much though, you're a life saver," He then thought for a moment before saying. "Oh by the way, Nate says he has something he wants to talk to you about, he's helping out the performance arts branch over by the food fair."

Once Zima had left Jordan took out his phone, a slight grin crossing his face as he began to text Nate. "Hey Nate, can I ask you a bit of a favor? I know you're helping me out with something?' he asked before he kept typing. "See today's the day I'll finally tell you know who, if you see you know who tell her that she has a secret admirer waiting for her by the eastern fountain."

Jeremy, camera in tow, sauntered around the school taking pictures of the, what he saw as, nonsense. He entered the room with Zane, Lucina, and Sophie, and said dryly, "Smile" as he rolled his eyes and prepared to take a photo.

"So true...though I'm still unsure of why you are talking to me about all of this..." Danny trailed off, trying to figure out Derek's angle. "Unless...you knew that things weren't going well for me...so tell me. Are you asking me to be one of your members?"

```````````````
"I don't know. He's younger which usually means more energy," she joked returning the kiss. "Come we should go elsewhere," she suggested breaking it. She lead Freed to a more private part of the school, setting up their little picnic.

````````````````````````
"You're welcome, and I'll go see him right now," she told him walking off. "Nate Jordan said you wanted to talk to me about something," Zima said when she found him.

`````````````````
"Huh? Oh hey Jeremy," Lucina greeted, not smiling.

Nathan sent a wink Daisy's way before turning to Zima, a huge grin on his face. "I was asked for a favor regarding you." He told Zima, seeming quite amused. "You have a secret admirer apparently and since he knows you and I are both in Assist he asked me to tell you if I saw you that he's waiting by the east fountain."
