The next morning, the intercom came on to awaken everyone.

"Good morning everyone Today is a special day for some of you. Please gather in the community room by 7 AM." the intercom said. Kira laid in his bed half awake for a minute. He was trying to process what the intercom said. A knock was then heardBat his door. He looked over and somehow managed to get himself up. He tiredly opened the door, rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning..." A deep voice spoke. Kira's vision finally cleared to see Diavolo at his doorway.

"Hm? Oh, Dia, good morning. You're here early." Kira said.

"Yea, um, I just wanted to see if you were awake."

"Ah, well I am now, I just need to get ready."

"I wanted to go with your to the thing this morning."

"Yes, of course, I'll go with you. Give me a minute." Kira then closed his door and

quickly got dressed and ready. He decided to ditch his routine just for this morning since Diavolo was waiting for him. He smoothed out his hair and finally left his room. Diavolo was waiting right by his door. Kira took Diavolo's hand into his and the two made their way to the Community Room. The two villains walked into the room. All of the chairs were setup like an auditorium. At the front of the room stood Sapphire, Speedwagon, and Kakyion.

"Hey everyone, we are just about to get started. Please find a seat anywhere you'd

like." Sapphire spoke into a microphone. Still hand in hand, Diavolo lead Kira to sit in the back of the room. Kira didn't mind at all. They found a seat and sat down

together. More people walked into the room and sat down. Everyone got settled and the clock struck 7 AM.

"Alright! Enough waiting around. We are going to begin." Sapphire said. The room then went silent.

"Wonderful, thank you! So, I'm going to have Speedwagon speak first." Speedwagon took the microphone from Sapphire.

"Today we are here to congratulate our first group of graduates from our program! Groups H and G have been here for 3 months and have now been deemed ready to start a new and good life in society." Speedwagon announced. Clapping and cheers were heard amoung the audience. The microphone was then handed to Kakyion.

"Congratulations to the following graduates: from Group H: Hol Horse, Rubber Soul, Steely Dan, Squalo, Tiziano, and Ungalo. From Group G: Boingo, Mario Zucchero, Sale, Illuso, Pesci, and Rikiel." Kakyoin announced. Everyone clapped and cheered as the called people came to the front of the room. The microphone was given back to Sapphire.

"These graduates that appear before your today have successfully completed the Speedwagon Foundation's Mental Therapy and Life Training Program. Graduates, please recite the

vow after me." The graduates repeated the vow after Sapphire. "And there you have it folks! The your first program graduates!" Sapphire exclaimed. The room was cheering and clapping once again.

"As for the rest of you, class begins at 8 AM. Make sure your are there. You are all dismissed." Speedwagon said. Everyone got up from their places and headed out of the room. Kira and Diavolo waited for the crowd to die down. Diavolo looked down at his lap and realized that he was still holding Kira's hand. His face flushed a little pink at that sight. Kira then stood up as the room was getting empty.
