Jeff hadn't slept much the previous night.

Of course, that was nothing new. However, instead of working on homework or some personal project, he'd been busy checking and double-checking (and triple-checking!) to make sure everything was packed. After all, how humiliating would it be to get there and realize he forgot his new swimsuit?

He was going through his belongings one final time, then zipped the duffel bag shut in satisfaction.

"Right. This should be a nice little break, right, Ionia?" He smiled and held his hand out towards the windowsill, allowing the Pikmin to hop onto it. He made his way out of the dorm and towards the parking lot. Seeing Porky there dampened his mood a bit, especially since that meant Porky would probably be wandering around in a towel (or less)... and that was a mental image he really didn't need.

Oh well.

This was so exciting! Lucas was certain he was prepared -- he'd even gone out and got a few extra things for Ioina, though it was a little hard to pick out clothes for somebody when you didn't know how big they were going to be. Worst case scenario, they could always ask Kumatora to lend her something, right?

Like Jeff, he was less than thrilled with seeing Porky there, but it wasn't like anything could happen on a school trip, right? He was more excited about seeing Mr. Powalski and his transformation balls.

"Ah... hi, Mr. Powalski," Lucas muttered, helping himself to a few spheres, "I... uh... thanks again for these." It was a little bit awkward talking to somebody whose class Lucas... really didn't agree with, but it was still nice of the chameleon to supply transformation balls for Ionia.

And speaking of that...! "Oh...! Jeff! Hey!" Lucas waved, making his way over to the other blond.

Jeff returned the wave, his spirits instantly picking back up. "Hey! Oh, good, you got the balls." ...snerk. Real mature, Jeff.

He looked between Lucas and Ionia, making a thoughtful noise. "Think we should do it now, or wait until we get there?"

"Good question." Ball jokes, it seemed, were still over Lucas' head somehow. He stared down at the Pikmin in Jeff's hand (she waved) and shrugged. "On one hand, it might be nice not to have to worry about losing her on the bus or having somebody step on her or something, but... I guess it also depends on if they have room on the bus for another person or not. I'd rather have her on the same bus as us if she's going to be human for the first time, y'know?"

"Aah... good point." He glanced over his shoulder at the growing crowd, noticing that a lot of people seemed to be flocking to the bus they hoped Porky wasn't taking. It was almost kind of sad.

"Well, if it gets too packed, I guess we could put her in one of the bags for now."

"I guess we'll just have to see once the buses are loaded. I hope it's not too uncomfy for Ionia!"
