A Rose By Any Other Name

"You all missed mine the last year…"

"You're not my twin brother or any of my siblings that actually lived with me through my childhood. Besides, I never even went to this academy when you were here before. You're thinking of Spring."

Yea but then yer gonna be one of those teachers that nobody likes. That ain’t being a teacher. That’s being a butt.

Hey, it doesn't matter if they don't like me. Besides, that's the fun about it. Besides, there's not really a point in taking every single class on campus. 

You can’t just up and go and wanna become some teacher. Actually, why the heck would anyone wanna do that?!

Because I don't feel like studying any more and I like seeing other suffer when tests are all marked "B" as the correct answer. Have you seen them squirm? It's great. 

"Ruka! We get to destroy the Performing Arts Building!" Rosa stood outside of the vacated building and grinned before throwing out the pokeball that had been around her neck. "Let’s go Reshi! Time to destroy this place!" 

"On my mark. 3...2...1..."

It was hard for him to pinpoint what exactly caused him to feel fear, considering he felt mildly nervous in general almost all the time. “I’m afraid of… passing out randomly. Being judged, or left behind. Death? I hate haunted houses, and ghosts, and horror movies… and… um… overcrowded places, because it’s hard to breathe and if I get mugged then I won’t be able to chase down the person without passing out and dying.” It was almost comical, the forceful way with which he listed his fears, and the determined expression on his face as he did so. “I promise I’m going to work hard not to be so scared of everything! I’ll laugh in the face of danger from now on. Ha! Ha.” …Cough, cough.

She gentle patted his back when he coughed. "Okay, so it seems like your two basic fears are death and being left behind. All the others stem from that, don't you think?" She nodded. "Here's the number one thing though, to be able to face your fears, you quite literally need to face your fears. I hate to say it, but you're going to have to watch horror movies at the very least. ...Or at least parodies of horror movies before the horror." She paused. "It's best to start small and work your way up with this sort of thing. Also, you're going to want your inhaler. And a snuggly fire type of choice." She paused again. "And we're going to introduce you to ghost pokemon. They're much nicer than you think."
