Gilda had spent the last week preparing for today, a glorious return to form. She'd set up a card table to sit behind and a stack of flyers and buttons were laid out before her. A banner hanging off the table announced in big bright colors "Vote for Gilda". The flyers listed some of the changes she'd like to make to the school, ways to help fix the forests and Miator while also improving her own Lulim. Buttons had her face printed on them though not much else. She'd gotten a great deal on them in bulk. Along with the flyers and buttons for campaigning, she also had a bunch of business cards for herself and for a website. Even if the girls wouldn't take a flyer or button, she still sent them on their way with the website card, urging them to educate themselves about how they can help support the forest regrowth and the rebuilding of Miator. She'd put a lot of work into that website based on recommendations from clubs like the gardening club. Most of it was her collection of photos of the damage and photos of the beforehand. Maybe it would inspire action, maybe not but it was evidence that she was trying and evidence was what was needed.
So Gilda sat in uniform and occasionally handed out her things to students returning from town. There weren't as many as she'd expected, probably have to do this again later in the week at a more congregation heavy spot. Though some help would be nice, maybe she could recruit Hilda, though Hilda was notoriously unreliable as far as staff went. It'd be nice to have staff, some sort of cabinet to help get things done, filled with an expert in every field to dispense advice. Instead she had herself and a computer. That was hardly enough to make a real dent in the school. But Gilda was nothing if not driven and if rallies were called for, you could bet that she'd rally again and again until she won a hard earned victory to record in her log books.

Deciding that the only way to become someone in these schools was to see what the other schools where about. As She walk into the main area for all three schools she thought of looking for other students to speak of, she thought it would be simple to strike up a conversation but it seemed a tad harder said than done, and she wasn't one to be too shy to speak up. She was about to give up for the moment to get to her studies, Yet then something caught her eye.
A decent sized table with posters and buttons stood near the entrance door, why hadn't she noticed it before ? Though in her own defence she came this way from a class not from outside but still. Whipping a lose hair from her face she decided to walk to the table tracing a finger across the table's edge. looking at the girl that was running the table it was clear what this was, a way to get heard and this girl was taking all the right steps. She peered at a flyer ' Vote for Gilda' She thought to herself smiling a slight smirk she spoke up. " Well Gilda you have my attention, i would like to hear why i should vote for you or even consider helping you out, besides the obvious. "

Gilda looked the girl over, not bothering to hide the fact. "Well miss, it's quite simple. I'm the best hope Astrea Hill has to survive." She took note of the girl's uniform. "Now you're Miator, so you won't be voting for me anyway, but as for helping, the obvious as I'm sure you know is that you are my sister. Not literally of course, I already have a real sister. I mean that all of us on Astrea are sisters. We have sister schools, we are a family. Now families squabble sometimes but when times are hard, family needs to buckle down and work together to do great things." Gilda smiled and pulled out a flyer.
"Now we're in a hard time. Your school is falling down, parts of it are incredibly dangerous, I've got pictures. If it isn't fixed soon, some foolish girl sneaking around the ruins is going to get hurt or worse. Over on Spica's side, forest is still ash. It's been like a decade and it hasn't regrown. Something has gone wrong. Natural forest fires are better after a year or two." She pushed the flyer forward for the Miator girl to take.
"Now I don't know if you've been paying attention to your president, or any other presidents for that matter, but they are not getting along. There are budget fights which is normal enough, but that's not the issue. The presidents hate each other. There's some kind of grudge there. Now I don't presume to know who is right and who is wrong in such a squabble, but I do know that their fighting hurts both schools. And as a sister, I can't let it continue. If two people are fighting, surely a third can step in and mend the fences." Gilda smiled and stood proudly. "That is why you should give your support to me. I have plans, fixes, and the know how to unite the schools together and put us back on the road to recovery while the current leaders are keeping us trapped in the pits of despair."

She smiled it only wavered when she had her mistake noticed she new well enough she couldn't vote but she let her foolish words leave her thoughts as she listened to the young girl more she was the type of person Michelle could support. She had heard of a very small group of girls who had decided to plant a small tree in Spica forest but it seemed to be as far as they got, Though With them in the back of her mind and now meeting Gilda it sparked an idea. Though she held back in saying her idea she wanted to truly hear out this girl rather than think of other things even relating things. As the girl finish she spoke up once more. " I have heard of the two princes i do not care for them my self i think if you're going to be a leader you might have competition yes but don't let it stand in the way of production, Which seems to be the way you think as well."
She took the papers and skimmed them quickly all the late night studding come in handy in more then one way, she could read a lot in little time. " If your interested, i myself would be very interested in backing you up in anyway i can, though i do ask if it would be alright to go possibly more on a partnership side of things as far as my side of the school goes."

Gilda smiled and watched as the other girl perused her materials. "Princes, even in the names they have given themselves there is pride." She shook her head. "It's not about the competition. School rivalry is all well in good for sports but in politics there is no rivalry. We're not stealing votes, nobody votes across schools. This is all petty hatred." Gilda brushed her hair back and sniffed disdainfully. "Personal is not the same as important, if you want to improve a place you have to remember that. It's something that our current leaders have forgotten. All this budget talk they do, fight fight fight, Miator needs the money, she is the more dangerous and expensive task. Spica needs the cooperation because the forest surely can be fixed by us, the students."
Gilda stopped talking and thought for a moment. "Well I won't deny that I enjoy the support. More voices speaking up means more change, especially since it's a bit difficult for me to affect change in your school and Spica. First though, I'd have to know your name. I certainly wouldn't turn a partner away and a united government would be a thing of beauty. A power greater than the Etoiles, which would be a valuable thing and better for the schools anyway."

" Ah forgive me , My name is Michelle Lunar of Lunar Vineyards"
Chuckling to herself she hadn't had to speak that way for a while and to speak her family business in such a way again had her amused but she straightened her posture and spoke again. " If we were to work together i would say our first step is to find you some help anyone willing to help maybe finding you a partnership in a spica student. As Far as your goals i could possibly persuade my father to look into the business side of the Maitor winery. "
She looks at the papers once again " If you are alright with that i would be willing to bring it up to the school council as well with you of course."
She thought for a moment thinking if her father would go for it, if not she would have to do a bit of pushing on her side of things to make him do so after all she is the air to the company.

"It's a pleasure to meat you, Miss Lunar. I am Gilda Hohenzollern." Gilda hadn't heard of the business, but that wasn't really unusual, business wasn't exactly something she had involved herself with. Especially the business of parents of other students, after all, she hadn't even been here a year. "Well it would be best to have a girl from both schools at my side when reforms are going along, but that's easier said than done. It's part of the reason that I stand out here instead of just campaigning at my school in fact. I've got better luck at inspiring like minded individuals to stand with me from every school."
Gilda had to think about this. Business partnerships was a good thing, it wasn't unlike what she had planned for the forest repairs and improvements. However this was not exactly the business thing she was looking for and she didn't know much about the school's winery apart from the fact that it had it. "Well it is a tempting offer, I am sure, however I don't think the student council has control over the wine production and sales. That sort of thing seems better suited for the nuns to control. However that has given me a good idea for further fundraising." Yes, she didn't know who bought the school's wine but somebody must. It couldn't all go to communion stuff. Paired with some other stuff, there could be a chance for auctions. If people donated to help the school and could win a little thing for it, they'd be quite pleased. And if it was donated then the school wouldn't be losing out. It'd be good on all sides. Surely this was not the only girl at the school with influential parentage. "I do believe I could use your help, though any partner of mine would be running alongside me. Is running for president something you want to do? Otherwise you'd just be a supporter and quite likely my friend, which has its own benefits obviously."

Gilda had made some very good points her family made profit and it was no small business but then again they do business usually out of the area so it may not be such a big impact as she thought. Then her thoughts went to what he girt mentioned next. " I have no plans on running for president sadly but etoile on the other hand i have grown to the idea, but right now at this point friendship and helping the school is my main step, it might benefit my one day venture but as of now helping you and your goals seem the most important. "
Smiling to the girl she held her hand out " so do we have a deal to figure out to better our schools "
She thought of what the other must be thinking what was her idea's this was becoming quite interesting. " Besides money, i will always be here for moral suport just so you know."

Gilda nodded. Not everyone wanted to be in office and being an etoile was certainly an enticing prize. It was dull in comparison to presidency as far as Gilda was concerned but it would be an acceptable second prize. "Well as important as my election may be, it's only a drop in the bucket really. I doubt anyone else needs to put their desires on hold to help me ascend to greatness, it's only a little election, after all." She smiled again to show that it wasn't that large of a thing, though it was. She'd be quite pleased if everyone gave up and devoted themeselves to her goals but that was the tiniest bit unrealistic.
"It is a deal." Gilda said, shaking Michelle's hand. "Of course I don't need money, money is what the school needs and frankly, no matter who wins that will have to be addressed. As for my being elected, all I need is support, yours will be greatly appreciated. It's always nice to have beautiful women supporting me, strangely enough, it keeps happening. I expect that's how the current presidents were elected. A shame that it's all become a popularity contest. Still, as I tell all of my fans, don't vote for me just because, vote for whoever you think is best for the school. Of course the girls tend to hang on my words so I doubt most of them really think about the competition. Still, effort must be made, I want to win because I'm the best, not because I'm pretty."

Michelle could tell the hidden pride in this girl, this meant a lot. Michelle understood proving yourself for what you think is right well Michelle knew she could be over thinking this all but the point was she was pleased to have met the girl. " Now that is settled why don't i help you pass these out."
Taking the stack of flyers she smiled at the young girl. " So Gilda what made you want all this."
She began to pass the flyers out to students smiling at each one letting them know her face and the cause that she had just joined. Cause what a silly word she thought it was just a simple thing like bring each sister school together yet maybe that was a big thing, and it should be on the minds of every student. " After all you are pretty young most first years would never have thought of climbing the ladder as they say so young"

Gilda couldn't help but keep smiling. "I'd love to have the help." She said and walked up to Michelle. She stepped in close, rose onto her tiptoes, leaned forward, and pinned a button to Michelle's uniform. Then Gilda pulled back and winked. Returning to her table, Gilda said "Simple really, it's where I belong. My family was royalty once, many generations ago. Now we don't have royalty anymore but we do have places of office. I plan to eventually make my way there. Of course that requires a great education which means I have to get into a good school. Now Astrea is a great school for an entrance application but they want to see more than that. So if I have some awards and records like being on the school board, being active in the clubs, et cetera, then I'll be assured entrance into a renowned university. Then I work my way through there, and from that I move into real politics. It's all quite simple and if you don't start early, then you might as well not start at all. You can't go through life without a plan, frankly I don't know how my sister manages."

Michelle could feel each moment the girl did as she placed the pin. Smiling back with a slight smirk she pondered on the wink, Should she stop the young student? she doesn't want to embarrass the girl yet she had momo-chan. Shed let it slide but she'd have to watch the young student. "Seems as if we have yet another thing in common, making yourself known and achieving things past what are asked from the school is a grand plan. For me i think it is more of an importance to prove to my father i can handle a man's world so to speak, as far as business i was bead for it , at least that's what my family wants and expects, do not misunderstand i do want the business but i wish my family would be a family rather then a partnership."
She looked back at the girl then at what she was doing handing out more papers she was excited to help even more. This was the first step of many for the both of them this partnership, no friendship hopefully might help them in more than one way.

"Ah, I see. Something to prove then." Gilda said knowingly. "Yes I can see how that might be difficult." She thought for a moment. "But if you're from a winery, surely that isn't exactly a man's world. I mean, it's not like heavy lifting or anything. It's sticking a bunch of grapes in a bottle and waiting a few years." Gilda knew nothing about wine. In fact she knew less about wine than she did about business. Family though, she knew a bit about family.
"That's a shame though, about the partnership family thing." She moved up close to Michelle again. "I've been lucky, my family is close, well, close enough." The smile shifted a little bit, showing a few more teeth. "But you're part of the Astrea family now," Gilda put her arm up around Michelle's shoulder. "And our partnership could become something far more like a family if you want." She looked up at Michelle with eyes that were almost, but not quite, innocent.

Momo was beaming, carrying her bag as she walked to the gate. It felt like another day at school, though it wasn't an ordinary day. Yesterday, she and Michelle-sama had fun last night. To dance with Michelle-sama and to be in her arms like that was so graceful. Michelle-sama was her princess, her everything. The young pinkette was enjoying everything about school life. The only thing she regretted is that she had yet to do anything for Tori-sama. Her first crush and it was a hard crush too. But that moment she met Michelle-sama, everything changed.
Come to think of it, Michelle-sama and Tori-sama were hot for each other until Michelle-sama met Momo right? She thought to herself. If Michelle-sama and Tori-sama had gone out, for sure those two would've been a dynamic couple. Though she wouldn't have Michelle-sama anymore that combo would just be fascinating to watch.
She then noticed a table, blinking she could've swore she saw her beloved Michelle-sama, and she started to smile but then she saw another pretty girl, a beautiful green-haired girl swing her shoulder around Michelle-sama's neck. Eep! Is every girl in Astraea going to hit on Michelle-sama? Momo-chan ran in her cute, hurried and yet worried way. Waving her arms around when she got between them.
"Eeep! What are you doing to my Michelle-sama!?" Momo-chan exclaimed, but not in an accusing way but more like in the cute way when a kid has their teddy bear taken away or something. She hugged Michelle-sama gently. "Michelle-sama, good morning." She said sweetly, looking at her lover in the eyes.

She new that the flirting was becoming a bit much as she was about to say something a wave of movement came between her and Gilda the waving arms then found there way around her waist, it was none other than her Momo-chan that was hugging her rather tightly with a cute side of jealous behavior.
" Momo-chan my sweet petite flower i am sorry to have you worrying again, but thank you for coming to my rescue, Gilda i apologize for not speaking sooner but flirting is this young girls job, Momoko is my partner here at the school i hope this does not hurt our friendship in anyway. Actually i am sure we all might have something in common we all know how to make an entrance. "
She not only spoke of the cute way Momo entered but of how Gilda came into this school and how she did as well. Smiling down at Momoko she finally took the moment to hug her back.
