Over the years, you and Sirius had maintained a strictly professional relationship. Of course the two of you would occupy most of your time together; training for the Triple Crown series, dance practice for idol performances, and of course exchanging the obligatory Valentine's Day chocolates. You believed you had done everything right by her.

But Sirius was a troublemaker, a free spirit, and a passionate Uma Musume. Combining her dashing looks and unparalleled confidence, she was the academy heartthrob for plenty of girls. And one from the rather prestigious Mejiro family: Ramonu.

"Hey, Puppy. I can't train with you today. Ramonu and I've already made plans to run together. That's not gonna be a problem, right?"

Sirius makes her entry without fanfare or etiquette. Placing a hand on your desk while she makes her intention clear. Her grin was impassioned, almost smug.

"I'm sure you've got a few other girls to train anyway. Someone more your speed."

"Eh? 'Skipping out'? Tch. I ain't skipping out on nothing. Get your head checked, Puppy. You've got no teeth to catch a wild horse like me. Don't wait for me, I'll be back tonight."
