P.T.C.
Episode #01
- The Chosen of Arts
Written by: CS-Masyet

Both heroes and danger may arise from anywhere. However, one thing always remains true; heroes must stop the danger... ...but who exactly are the heroes and villains?

Teacher: Sits at her desk in the classroom. Alright, since this is the first day I'll need to know all your names. Points to a student. You there, you may go first.

It was the first day of school at Drollow High.

?1: The student stands up. He's a normal looking guy, but looks kind of intimidating. My name is Ail. I'm in the 10th grade. Sits back down.
Teacher: Is that all? Oh well. Points to another student. You go next.
?2: Stands up. This guy is a really shy person, always trying to avoid other people. M-my name is Tear...
Teacher: ...anything else?
Tear: Uh... Um... I'm in the 10th grade too... Sits back down.
Ail: (Hmph, he copied what I said!) Glares at Tear.
Tear: Sees Ail glaring at him. E-eh?
Student 1: The newbie's a goner!
Student 2: Poor guy...
Teacher: Alright, can someone here actually give me an interesting introduction?
?3: It'll be my pleasure. Stands up.
Students: Huh?
?3: I'm Barry of the 10th grade, but please refer to me as... the Master Chef!
Tear: (The Master Chef?)
Ail: (Who is this imbecile?)
Teacher: Um, alright then... (Very interesting...)
Barry: Sits down.

Everyone else introduces themselves, then goes to their next class. / In art class...

Tear: Sitting on a stool painting a picture on a canvas. (I'm happy I can just be by myself and do what I like in this class...)
Art Teacher: Looking at Tear's drawing. (Wow, what an amazing painting...)

In music class...

Music Teacher: Which instrument would you like to use, Ail?
Ail: Doesn't matter, anyone's fine by me.
Music Teacher: Gives him a violin. Do you have a particular favorite?
Ail: Takes the violin. Nope, I like them all... Starts playing it.
Music Teacher: Listening to his music. (Wow, he plays it so well.)

In cooking class...

Barry: Cooking in front of a group of girls. I will show you beautiful ladies the expert cooking of Master Chef! Stirs his soup then throws his stirrer in the air.
Girls: Huh?
Barry: Won't be needing that now... Puts spices in the soup then hits the stirrer with his foot and catches it in his hand. Then begins stirring again.
Girls: Wow...
Barry: And wa la! Takes some of the soup and puts it in a bowl. He then gives it to one of the girls. Try some.
Girl: Tries some. Wow, it's really good!
Girls: Clap.
Barry: Thank you, you're too kind.
Cooking Teacher: Tries some of the soup. (Wow, how delicious!)

After classes ended, everyone goes to the cafeteria to eat lunch.

Tear: Sitting at a lunch table. *sigh* (I forgot to make lunch again...) I'm hungry...
Ail: Walks up to him. Hey, you.
Tear (scared): *gasp* (I-it's that guy...)
Ail: Mind if I sit here? Everywhere else is taken.
Tear: G-go ahead...
Ail: Sits down and takes out his lunch.
Tear: Looks at his lunch. ...
Ail: What?
Tear: N-nothing...
Ail: Where's your lunch? Aren't you going to eat?
Tear: ... His stomach growls. *blush* U-um...
Ail: Gives him a pear. Here.
Tear (blushing): T-thank you...
Barry: Sitting with a bunch of girls at a lunch table finishing his lunch (the soup he made). Alright, now that I'm done, I must go wash up. Can't be a Master Chef with dirty hands! Gets up.
Girls: Bye, Master Chef!
Barry: Goes to the washroom and washes his hands. Alright, now to get back to the ladies... Gets enveloped by light. What is this?!? AHHH!!! Disappears.
Ail: Gets up. Well, see ya. Walks away.
Tear: (That guy is scary, but kinda nice...)
Ail: (What a strange guy... Seems almost impossible to get mad at him...) Gets enveloped in white light. W-what the?!? AHHH!!! Disappears.
Tear: (I should probably thank him for the pear...) Walks into the hall, and get enveloped in light. W-what's happening? AHHH!!!

Ail, Tear, and Barry appear in a odd-looking room.

Ail: What the?!? Where the heck is this place?
Tear: What's going on?
Barry: No! The ladies are waiting for me!
Ail: (What the heck is wrong with this guy?!?)

All of their teachers appear above them.

Teacher: Welcome.
Ail (angry): Tell us what's going on!
Teacher: Relax, we will explain everything.
Music Teacher: But first, we would like to introduce ourselves. I am Mr. Musico, the music teacher.
Art Teacher: I am Ms. Pensil, the art teacher.
Cooking Teacher: I am Mr. Kooc, the cooking teacher.
Teacher: You may just refer to me as Teacher. Now, please tell us... What are your dreams for the future?
Barry: And why do you need to know that?
Ms. Pensil: We have been searching for the P.T.C. for a long time...
Mr. Kooc: And now we think that we have found them!
Tear: Huh?
Ail: What the heck are you talking about? What is this "P.T.C."?
Teacher: P.T.C. stands for "Paint, Treble, Culinary", the three names of powerful warriors.
Ail: But what the heck do they have to do with us?
Teacher: We think that you might be their descendants.
Tear: Y-you think we're related to powerful warriors?
Barry: Powerful warriors, huh? The Master Chef would rather be a decendant of a master chef but I guess beggars can't be choosers...
Teacher: I said you might be. To make sure, I must ask you all again... What are your dreams?
Barry: If you must know, my dream is to cook every single dish ever made. or that is what I must do to hold my title as Master Chef!
Mr. Kooc: Ooh, sounds delicious!
Teacher: Points to Tear. What about you?
Tear: U-um... I want to paint with every color in the world... And make a painting with all of them together...
Ms. Pensil: Really? That's amazing!
Teacher: What about you, Ail?
Ail: Mine is to play every instrument in the world. Perfectly.
Mr. Musico: Oh! Fascinating!
Teacher: As we thought... You three must be the P.T.C.'s descendants. Follow me...

A door appears behind the teachers and they go in. The platform turns into stairs so they can follow them.

Teacher: Your teachers have things to give you. Please accept them.
Mr. Musico: Take this, Ail. Gives him a small music-note like object.
Ail: What's this?
Ms. Pensil: Here you go, Tear. Gives him a small paintbrush like object.
Tear: Huh?
Mr. Kooc: This is for you, Barry! Gives him a small spatula like object.
Barry: Kind of small, don't you think?
Ail: What are these things for, anyway?
Teacher: You need them to unleash your power.
Ail: Power?
Tear: How do we use it?
Teacher: I'll tell you...
