It was something that she had no real recourse for. She had to aim the arrows and shoot using her bow. It was all up to Alice and there were no cute gimmicks. This was why it was her worse performance. Alice could her some sniggering behind her back. "Stupid horse..." one muttered under their breath. She wanted to look and give them an tongue lashing. Instead, she still hade more arrows. It was not terrible, but it was enough to rank her in the bottom 5 of her class. Alice was not proud of this big failure on her record. When it was over, she was free to do as she pleased. The only thing Alice wanted to do was shoot arrows until it was time for the students to go to bed for the night. The next day, she went to the hangar. She looked in on a class. When it was over, the same 3 loners were left over as the rest of the class left. From the new outfit 2 of them were wearing, they had gotten enough of a synchronization rate to be able to pilot at least the 15 foot class mecha. Alice knew it was now time to make a move. She knocked on the window with a curled knuckle. That got their attention.
All 3 of them came over to the window. "Hey. My name is Clara Horsebutt. I've been watching the class for a bit." They seemed to not be surprised at all. "It's really hard to miss a... girl like you." the black haired boy said. "Yeah, but no one here minds. It's mostly guys in here aside from the 3 in the class. And they got snatched up on the first day." the brown haired one said as he nodded in agreement. "If I could get my synchronization rate up, maybe I could get a girl to look my way." the pink hair boy said as he sank down to the floor against the wall. I asked them for their names. Tommy was the black haired boy. The brown haired one was his cousin. I could tell that was true because of the eyes. His name was Liam. The pink haired boy looked like a punk. Alice noticed that he was pretty short. Even when compared to all of the other human boys in the class. Maybe his personality was to compensate for it. His name was Jack. He was rare in that he had a surname. His full name was Jack Berry. He had pink hair and eyes just like Alice did. That endeared him to her. They were introduced.
Since they were all already gathered there, Alice decided to get to the chase. "I think you guys are all pretty cute." she said with a smile. That got the three of them to blush. Being complimented by a girl felt good for a boy. If it helped her chances, she did not mind fluffing them up a bit. "If you didn't mind, I would like to go out with all 3 of you guys." Alice continued. That got them to look confused. "Excuse me, did I hear you right?" Tommy asked. "We all heard it! She wants all of us." Jack snapped. He did not look happy. "Well, to be honest, I wanted to get to know you guys better. I didn't think that just one of you would be able to satisfy me. I still would do what I could to help you guys if you needed it." Alice said to them with a matter of fact tone. The boys looked at each other. "That's just a nice way of calling us small." Jack said very testily. Alice was right to think it was a sore spot for him. She shrugged and said "Those pilot suits don't really do a good job of concealing the goods." Tommy and Liam quickly covered their junk. Jack said "That's them. It's important to have technique anyway."
