Beneath Their Masks: Half-Baked

Companion Piece, Chica and Chii's side.--"Chica" Sanchez has loving family and friends. She's musically gifted, is an excellent chef, and she's sporty so it isn't much surprise that she's well liked around school. When she and "Chii" Kain become lab partners, she doesn't complain despite not liking the more feminine chicken. However, almost immediately she discovers that they have much more in common than either of them had thought, and it isn't long before she realizes that something in Chii's life isn't okay. She takes action; she won't just watch as her new lab partner's life shatters into pieces too small to gather.Chii liked to think she was fortunate compared to her friends, and because of that she does her best to be their shoulder to lean on. Her aversion to physical contact makes this difficult but she does her best. Then she becomes lab partners with the last person she ever wanted to be with, and she hates that they have so much in common despite their contradicting lives. As she becomes fonder of her new partner and her friends, she finds her world opening up- but with her world opening, it all starts falling apart and she isn't sure she's strong enough to hold on through it.
