LAST CHAPTER: Ocean saved Crystal from Rubypaw, and the two made friends on the hill. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning, Crystal woke to Diamondtail's voice echoing over the PC. " Will all bunnies older than 4 and younger than 13 gather in the main hall for a meeting." It said. Crystal slipped out of her room and ran to the main hall, where rabbits were already gathered. "Ahem," said Diamondtail " I am pleased to announce that we have recieved an invitation to Bunnypaw academy!" These words were followed by an outbreak of murmuring with excitement. "What if it's bait from Rubypaw?" Crystal hissed to Ocean, who was right behind her. "Dunno," Ocean replied, just as Diamondtail began talking again. "When I call your name, please come up and get your uniforms based on your level. Term starts on September the 2nd; go to the burrow next to ours. Now, the uniforms. Age 5!" The youngest bunnies rose up to get their uniforms. "You think they'll be good?" Ocean muttered to Crystal. She knew he meant the uniforms. " Should be OK, " said Crystal, just as Diamondtail called "Age 6!" "If this was last year, I'd be up there, getting my stuff." Crystal said, making Ocean shake with laughter. "Age 7!" Diamondtail called. Crystal and Ocean stood up, along with some other bunnies their age. Diamondtail handed them a bundle of yellow fabric. Crystal slipped it on. It consisted of a cloak with a buttercup-shaped pin, and yellow laced boots. She checked herself in the mirror. "Not bad," Ocean said. "I'm rather excited now."
