Silly Sarah, escaping from home and out of her mother's sight again. But she couldn't help it, she swore she saw a UFO!! And being the first one to find an actual UFO... that would make her the hippest person on the planet!! She scanned the blue skies for the UFO again and saw it flying towards Seiyo Academy. Sarah, with her pretty bad athleticism, sprinted to the academy.

Passing the gates and nearing the building of Seiyo, Sarah was literally heaving with exhaustion as she watched the UFO fly quickly into an open window of the school. Oh god, there is no way I'm gonna catch that thing, am I, Sarah thought.  She stopped for a quick 5 seconds before wiping her sweat and heading towards Seiyo's school building. It was only 30 seconds of staring into the window that the UFO flew into before she ran straight into something, or someone, and fell onto the ground.

[Andrei]

Andrei ducked.
He didn't know what it was, nor did he know where it was even going. All he did know, was that had he reacted a few seconds later, he would have had a gaping hole through his face right now. Cold sweat dripping down his face, he slowly, hesitantly brought himself to raise his head up again to check if the coast was now clear.

"What....what the hell was that?" he thought to himself, once he deemed it to be. He only got to see it for a split second, but all he managed to grasp was that it looked plainly like some...ball of light. He had been walking down the hall by himself, minding his own business, when he caught something glowing from the corner of his eye. He then turned to look, but all of a sudden, it was zooming right towards him.
-- He was ultimately thankful for his good reflexes then.

Bringing himself to stand fully upright now, he wondered for a brief second exactly what that could have been -- but deciding that it was none of his business and it would probably be safer for him to leave mysterious floating glowing lights alone, he made his way towards the main entrance, willing himself not to think about it any longer.

But of course, just as he was about to call it a day, something else happens. He felt a sudden force push against his chest -- then disappear just as suddenly. Well, though he said 'force', it was really more like a...pat...to his chest. A pat that squeaked upon impact. Unsure if he even felt it at all at first, he was prepared to just ignore it and continue making his way back home. But upon hearing a light groaning sound right after, he realized he really did hit something. He looked down -- and saw a tiny redhead right below him, sitting on the floor, and rubbing her behind in pain. Taking a second to just process the situation, it took him a little longer than it should have for him to react.

"Uh...need a hand?"
He offered his.

[Sarah Clementine]

Rubbing her nose that kind of really hurt, she looked up at what she's walked into. It wasn't an it, but a who!! The tears started flowing into her eyes. She had just run into someone!? "Oh, oh no! I'm so, so, SO sorry for running into you, you must be hurt from the impact!!" she said. Instead of taking the offered hand, she did a formal bow on her hands and knees. The tears flowed from her eyes like a waterfall as she repeatedly bowed, chanting some sort of "Sorry," mantra.

Sarah forgot about the UFO almost instantly since realizing she had run into someone. Gosh, what if they broke a rib? She wouldn't have stopped crying for days after that! It was probably forever since she had begun "Sorry," ritual or mantra thing. Surely the other party would have left due to Sarah's absurdities or weirdness, right?

[Andrei]

Andrei almost jumped back in suprise as soon as he saw that she had actually started crying.
"Oh, what...what no, no no no no I'm FINE, really, I am, I just --" He started as she blasted away with her string of apologies. With the speed she was going at he wasn't even able to get a word in. He kept trying to get his say in regardless, but then things took a turn for the weirder when she had all of a sudden started...getting on her knees and bowing to him. " -- Oh my God, no get up. Please get up from there c'mon there are people watching." He begged her when he realized what she was doing. He looked aroud him and indeed a crowd of other students, and even some faculty, had started gathering around, curious as to what was going on. Like his reputation could get any worse, now word would spread that he actually had made a girl cry -- and cry LOUDLY at that.

'...Oh, shoot.' he thought to himself, thinking if he should just ditch her, who he literally did nothing bad to anyway and leave, saving himself from any further embarassment.
-- but he knew painfully well he couldn't just do that.
Taking in a deep exasperated breath, he reached down and picked her up, carried her classic princess-style, put on his best poker-face and faced the crowd behind him.

"...Alright, alright folks, nothing to see here! Just a broken ankle from running too fast is all." He blatantly lied through his teeth as he carried her through the sea of people, assumedly making their way to the infirmary through her continuous sobbing. For such a little girl she sure is quite a handful, he noted to himself. Hopefully she'd lighten up by the time they leave the crowd behind.

He carried her and aimlessly walked around for a while until he thought he had completely lost the crowd. When he did, he let out another exhausted sigh and gently placed the girl he was carrying back down. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he pulled on her cheeks. hard. "Oh my god, Sarah. What is wrong with you." He glared at his study groupmate who was still fighting through her tears and snot and was currently in the middle of a huge sniffle. "You need. to control. your crying." He stopped pinching her and now resorted to tousling her hair with both his hands. "....SERIOUSLY."

He liked the girl. He really did.
She was one of the nicest to him during one of their study sessions.
But sometimes she just needed to CHILL.

[Sarah Clementine]

"??" Sarah was suddenly being picked up (jdrama style!!!) through the waves of people that apparently stopped to investigate the foreigner's weird habits. However, she couldn't stop the tears that streamed down her face. Now she was being carried, and she was heavy!! Which probably meant the person carrying her was in pain trying to walk with her in his arms!! Her eyes were far too blurred to even tell who the person was at this point, so she sobbed as she was brought somewhere secluded.

Finally being put down onto the ground, Sarah was suddenly pinched and her hair got ruffled, probably getting some of her snot on the stray strands. "I-I'm sorry," she hiccuped through tears. She used her sleeves to messily wipe away some of the tears and snot away. She probably looked super lame right now, which didn't help the fact that her tears wouldn't stop because she was the cause of someone else's pain.

Sarah squinted through her tears and finally made out a concerned... Andrei?

"OH NO..."That just made it WORSE. Not only did Andrei already have bandaged and hurt hands, HE CARRIED HER WITH THOSE HANDS!!! Sarah was so sure that it hurt to pick her up, even if it was like in those cool jdramas where the boys looked fine carrying the heroine. They always said something like, 'You're heavy' afterward, which meant it was hard to carry them, which meant it probably hurt! At this point, she was a waterfall of tears. She rummaged her pocket for bandages (did she even have pockets?) "I'M SO SORRY I PROBABLY HURT YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU CARRIED ME I'LL REBANDAGE YOUR FINGERS I'M SORRY..." she said, still bawling. She barely got the roll of bandages out when something bright white flew right past her face, sending her hair flowing in the gust of speed. Dropping the bandages, Sarah whipped her head around to catch one last glimpse of the egg. "A UFO!!!!!!!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.

[Andrei]

....At this point Andrei had given up on trying to reassure her that he was fine. He knew her enough by now to know that once she was in a guilt spree, there would be no stopping her until something else had gotten her attention. With that thought in mind, he stuck out his hands for her to bandage his already-bandaged fingers -- when something bright and white zoomed right between their faces, sending both his, but mainly her, hair strewn across their faces. She yelled after it.

...Now he was no expert at extra-terrestrial beings and life-forms...but he was willing to bet actual money that a U.F.O wasn't what that was. He then saw that she was about to make a run towards it, but thankfully he realized what she was planning to do quickly and stopped her before she could set a foot out of place. "Sarah. No. Didn't your mother ever tell you not to go chasing around random floating balls of light? That's the kinda shit that could possibly get you killed, Sarah. No following the floating ball of light, alright?"


-- Curse his inability to say no to small, adorable creatures.
With Sarah following closely after him, they both trailed after where the object had flown towards. They still weren't exactly sure what it was, so they (or well he mainly convinced Sarah to,) tried to keep a safe distance from it for now. Who was to say it wouldn't just blow up in their faces, after all? He didn't like where this was going, but he supposed as long as he could help her prevent herself from getting into any serious trouble or getting hurt, he would stick around with her until she was satisfied.

"Alright, so, what exactly do you want to do once we reach it?"
He at least hoped she had something in mind and didn't just chase it because it looked 'pretty'

[Sarah Clementine]

Sarah trailed slowly behind Rei. "Well, it's pretty! Not to mention, if we take a picture of it and show that we saw a REAL UFO, we'll be totally hip!!" Sarah said, wiping the rest of her snot away. That was supposed to be her plan, but she didn't think she'd be running around so much. She also probably didn't even know how to properly work a phone camera yet. Seriously, why did people call that weird, flat, portable, tv a phone? It was the weirdest gizmo she'd seen yet. How did it even take pictures?

But the main purpose was just to take a picture of the pretty UFO and get popular and hip. Nothing more.

Sarah pointed at the open rooftop door. "Look, the UFO probably went to the roof!" Sarah rushed ahead of Rei and out onto the roof. She scanned the skies, but there was no trace of the UFO...

Was the UFO sighting a fail?
