As with my other stories/threads, there is no legacy or challenge in this story. There's more of a 'plot' to this one than my other ones. Joshua Parker had... rather an odd childhood, he'd say. No...
Now that Hazel and Lydia had finished school, their immediate thought was university. Having applied for scholarships and then for their actual degrees, Hazel was eager to find out whether they'd been accepted. "Hey Lyd! I got in!" Hazel grinned. "Ooh, well done! What about me?" "Well, I didn't think I should open your letter. But I'm sure you got in, too." Lydia decided to check the online application portal; sure enough, she'd gained a place at Foxbury Institute to study Biology.

With the weekend ahead of them before they started classes, the twins decided to investigate the various societies on offer. Both of them joined their respective spirit corps. In addition, Hazel had heard of something called the "Secret Society", which naturally intrigued her. There was little information about it on Britechester's student portal, but there was something that suggested that an offering made at the university statue was a way to obtain further information. At midnight, a couple of students arrived and informed Hazel that she had been accepted into the Secret Society, and handed her a special robe. She put it on, feeling both ecstatic at having been admitted and a little silly at wearing the robe. For a so-called "secret society", such an obvious outfit would likely attract more attention than not.

The following Monday, with the weather getting colder, the girls headed off to their first classes.
Hazel had learned that a lot of what the Secret Society did was appeasing various sprites, which could be achieved by making offerings at a location behind the local pub. Hazel guessed that rare objects would probably go down better than more common ones, and was grateful that her mother had such an extensive garden full of high-quality harvestables.

Winterfest occurred on the Wednesday, and Hazel and Lydia decorated the tree together. "How's it going?" Hazel asked, untangling a string of fairy lights. "Yeah, everything's great," Lydia replied. "I'm a little bit worried about the presentation I have to do, but otherwise..." "Yeah, I understand. It's a good skill to learn though," Hazel said.

Meanwhile, Joshua had been working hard to acquire all the components to create a Servo. Finally, he achieved his goal, and the Servo was activated. Unsure what else to name him, Joshua dubbed his creation "C3PO Blue".

That Friday afternoon... "Oh sh*t! It's gone 4pm!" Lydia exclaimed in dismay. She'd been told that she had to give her presentation by then, and here she still was at home. "F**k, f**k, f**k," she muttered, trying (and somewhat failing) not to panic. Although she'd told Hazel about not enjoying the prospect, she had always intended to actually give the presentation. Would she be penalised? Had she done enough in class and her homework to achieve a decent grade?

That evening... "So, how did it go?" Katie asked. "Not too bad. Two A+s and two Bs. I could have done better, of course, but I'm not too bothered." "How about Lydia? I heard she missed being able to give her presentation," Katie said. "Yeah, she managed a B- in that class anyway," Hazel grinned. "She rang the professor and was very apologetic, and he said not to worry and that it had happened before. Luckily she'd done well enough otherwise to not fail the whole module." "She was lucky, then," Katie smiled back. "I guess in some ways it's good that it happened, so she knows to be a little more organised next time. It'll have given her a kick up the backside."
