Chase grinned at Peyton, and nodded. He pulled out his student card and the lunch lady passed him a burrito. He took it, “Thank you!” He told the older woman before shoving the burrito in his mouth. Lettuce dropped onto his shirt and he scowled down at it, moving his hand to flick it off. “Swy, m a chutz.” He mumbled through a mouthful of food. He chewed and swallowed the food before speaking again, clearing his throat, “Sorry, I’m a clutz.” He translated with a warm smile.

- "Hi!" Lila said, enthusiastically taking Chase's hand and pumping it up and down a couple of times, probably hard enough to knock someone her own size off their feet. She stood on one foot, precariously balancing her plate of fries as she eyed his float, mouthing "cool" as it moved all on its own. She was about to ask him if that was the same one that Doctor Strange always wore when something that Danny said caught her attention, and she stood on both her feet again, pouting at him.
"Danny, you can't just tease me by telling me that there's something interesting in the files and then not elaborating on it. What was it?"
She picked up a couple of fries, popping them into her mouth as she watched Danny fiddle with his glasses. She was tempted to ask what broke them, but he'd always been clumsy, so she kinda figured that he'd collided with someone, or someone had collided with him.

- The godling had to admit, her room was a lot more aesthetically pleasing to him than his own. He watched, that small smile still plastered on his face as FRIDAY cleaned up. It was almost like magic, though the fact that it was created from the ingenuity of Midgardians somehow made it more interesting to him.
"Oh, okay." That made sense, the fact that her room was different because Stark had built the place, that was. He would even consider taking her up on her offer to help him make him room a bit more homey. He wasn't exactly uncomfortable in this new setting, but being someone who had been ripped from his home at a pretty young age, change wasn't his favorite thing.
"Nick Fury kind of looks like a person who would enjoy AC/DC," he mused as he enjoyed her crates of records, softly crouching down to get a better look at them, "he probably sings 'Back in Black' in the shower."
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. rocking out with a shower cap on wasn't necessarily an image his brain wanted to conjure up though, and he wrinkled his nose in distaste as it appeared there anyways. "This is a good album," he said, holding up the slip for Led Zeppelin III before carefully putting it back in its place, "what kind of books do you read?" He himself would read just about anything. He still had one Asgardian novel though, his favorite, tucked safely in his backpack. It was tales about Thor, actually, written fairly recently in their history. He always skipped through the ones where Loki had helped out. Adrianna burst into a fit of laughter at his comment about the Director . She was warming up to him already , that much was for sure . The brunette was relieved to have finally found someone other than Danny Banner that was worth hanging out with . She nodded in agreement , " Okay but imagine him rocking out to TNT by AC / DC , like , Nick Fury in the 70s ! " She drew her hands outward from the sides of her head , puffing out her cheeks as if to visualize a large afro . She snickered deviously before hopping back to look over whatever was on one of her many bookshelves .
" This one's another one of my favorites , not to be cliche or anything , but I can't help myself , " She rummaged through a handful of records before pulling out one of her favorite Fleetwood Mac albums . " Mom gave it to me for my sixteenth birthday , along with the record player . I'm amazed it hasn't been worn down to nothing , I've listened to it almost every day since , " She took it out of the sleeve and set it down , carefully placing the needle and turning the volume down so it was mostly ambient background music . She liked it that way ...
Monday morning you look so fine
Friday I got travelin on my mind
First you love me, then you fade away
I can't go on believin' this way
I got nothing but love for you
So tell me what you really wanna do
First you love me then you get on down the line
But I don't mind.
I don't mind
" Well , I don't get to read as much as I'd like to anymore , " She admitted , appearing a bit bothered , but pushed it aside , " There's a lot of manuals in here , but there's also a lot of regular literature , too . I read a lot of history books and science books , but ... My favorites are probably old English lit . Shakespeare and stuff . I know , shocking , right ? "
AJ smirked , " But I've got practically everything . Adventure novels , non fiction , cheesy romance novels you can get at the gas station , which if you tell anybody about I'll plaster your room in cellophane - " She turned to look at him , clearly trying to hide a wide smile and failing miserably . - "Nick Fury rocking out to T.N.T. with an afro and a pair of those black leather bellbottoms," Sleipnir corrected, turning back to her and standing up, brushing off his knees and watching her pull out the Fleetwood Mac record. He was too shy to tell her that he knew next to nothing about Fleetwood Mac, only being well versed in some rock-n-roll because he and the little Asgardian boys and girls had playfully sparred to it in the S.H.I.E.L.D. complexes they'd been initially housed in.
He tapped his foot along though, laughing at himself as he swung his head from side to side and his hair hit him in the face.
"Cellophane? My lips are sealed." He made a zipper motion, but immediately began to speak again, "I like histories. This one author, David McCullough, I read a lot of his books when I... well, when I first came to America." He shrugged, feeling his heart thump a little. Even that was a bit too much oversharing for him, but he figured it couldn't hurt, right? People liked honesty. They liked to know other people. He wanted to make friends, didn't he?
Well, at least sharing a bit about himself was probably the way to do it, as awkward and sweaty as it made him feel.

Adrianna gave him finger guns at his correction , grinning as she winked . " Oh yeah , absolutely , I can see it now , " She formed her pointer fingers and thumbs into a landscape photo shot and aimed it at Sleipnir , " Add full blown facial hair and a bandanna do the mix and we'll have a party ! "
She tilted her head to the side , " Oh wow , you were born outside the US ? That's pretty cool . The states are lame most of the time in my opinion . I'd much rather be elsewhere . Despite the great Tony Stark being able to blow all the money in the world , I never did get to go on trips , " She admitted , glancing away with a slightly saddened look in her eyes . " Dad was always busy with work , y'know ? "
Shaking the thoughts from her head , the girl instead smiled and sat down near her nightstand on the side of her bed , patting the spot next to her in offering for him to sit with her . " Hey , wanna see something cool ? "
Adrianna reached for the drawer and tugged it open , fishing inside the deep drawer . She lifted out what appeared to be an old cupcake box that had never been used ; pristine and white , decorated with intricate patterned drawings with a clear rectangle on it to see the contents . She lifted the box and inside she had made Styrofoam dividers where she kept a lot of strange different things . Marbles , tiny animal skulls and bones , shells , feathers , spare nuts and bolts , buttons , coins , and all sorts of other things she'd collected . Most people thought it was kind of childish or dumb , but to AJ , they were important .
" Everything in here has a story , " She told him , her voice strangely soft compared to it's usual bold and brash tone , " It's crazy , right ? Everything started out in one place but ended up somewhere different . Kinda like us , " She snickered , " Not to be cheesy of course . I like to look through them when I'm not feeling my best . I know it's probably dumb but , it's important to me . "

I don't need to get in trouble , " He chuckled nervously . He exhaled slowly , his attention turning back to Peyton , who had an immense amount of food in her hands and still managed to assist Chase in cleaning the extra food he dropped off of him .
He nodded towards a table a few paces away , and pulled out his phone . Opening his notes , he quickly typed something up and slid it across the table to Lila , making himself look as inconspicuous as possible .
[ The files had a ' Lokison ' in there . Isn't Loki that the guy our parents fought awhile back ? Doesn't that sound a little , I dunno , strange ? It had to have been a slip up , don't you think ? Maybe somebody spelled something wrong . ]

I know it's probably dumb but , it's important to me . " - Sleipnir nodded, both in confirmation that he had been born outside the states, and in agreement that they were kind of boring. Asgard had just always offered more, both socially and in the realm of entertainment. "I mean, if it makes you feel better, I've never been outside the states since I came here. But, to be fair, that wasn't that long ago." Well, around twenty-some years now really, but for him that was the blink of an eye.
He came to sit down next to her, tucking one leg underneath of him as he peered past her, watching her bring out the little box, and then peering inside. "I don't think it's cheesy," he said, with a shrug, "it's interesting. My mother has a box like that, but it's things like clothes and bits of pottery and stuff like that, from home."
At the mention of home he chewed on his lip, opening his mouth, and then saying, very quickly, "I was from Asgard."
He ducked his head as he told her, feeling heat rise to his cheeks. He wasn't even sure why his body decided to do that. It wasn't a cause for embarrassment at all. Maybe he just wasn't used to sharing things about himself, but she had told him something kind of private, sentimental. It was only right, wasn't it?

Her thin eyebrows rose. Loki? She knew that their parents had fought him without a doubt, but she also knew that her dad and Aunty Nat both refused to talk about it. In all her years of snooping in on conversations she'd even heard her dad crying about New York. To this day she had no idea what had actually happened to her father, but it had been bad, and it had involved that Loki guy.
[ R u serious? Isnt he dead or something?? No ones seen him for awhile at least. He has kids???! ]
She slid the phone back to Danny, looking across the cafeteria absently as she popped a couple more fries into her mouth. She wondered if her dad knew that Nick Fury had invited Loki's children here. She figured he didn't, because she wouldn't have been allowed to come.

Adrianna's eyebrows raised as his words registered in her ears . Asgard ? No way , that was ... Wow , that was fascinating , really . She'd always wondered what it was like there . It had always sounded so fascinating whenever she'd heard stories about it in the past . She set her box to the side and turned towards him , crossing her legs and giving him her full attention . Though admittedly , her cheeks were flaring up , she did her best not to draw attention to it .
" Is ... that why you were anxious earlier ? Back in the hall ? " She nodded her head towards the doorway . Something was bothering him , she could tell that much . AJ could be oblivious at times , but she wasn't stupid . She knew something had been off , and though she wasn't quite good at putting two and two together with emotions , she drew from what she could observe ; he appeared suddenly sheepish at the mention of it .
" I can understand that , if that's what the case is ... But you don't have anything to worry about , I'm sure ! " She assured him , resting a hand on his knee for a moment . She was almost ... trembling ? Is that what that was ? She kept her touch light before resting it back in her own lap .
" I know , the great Adrianna Stark may come across like she's always belonged , but ... I know what it's like to feel like you're sticking out like a sore thumb , " AJ chuckled , pushing her hair from her face . " but luckily everyone here is pretty laid back by the sounds of it . I wouldn't stress too much . " She flopped over onto her side , trying to dissolve her anxiety by looking up to the ceiling before her head turned to the side to look at Sleipnir at her side while the record still spun in the background . " I mean , I think that's pretty sick . Much better than being born in , y'know , New York . "
I'll be there if you want me to
No one else that could ever do
Got to get some peace in my mind.

- Sleipnir noticed the blush on her cheeks, but he didn't say anything about it. She didn't say anything about his nervous blinking or the way his Adam's apple worked up and down in his throat.
"Yeah," he said after a moment, a lie, "I am still anxious now." That second part was not. He glanced over at her and smiled softly as she rested a hand on his knee. He could feel her fingers shake, and he wondered if it was because he was essentially an alien, or if it was due to something else. He didn't think to ask.
He took the cue to lie back as she did so, letting himself hit the bed hard enough to bounce once before his torso landed and stayed still. Hands folded on his stomach and feet swinging ever so slightly, he made a small noise in the back of his throat that was almost a laugh, but not quite. "I guess it is 'pretty sick,' but at least you were born on Earth. It took me so long to get caught up on an entire planet's culture, both pop and not."
Sleipnir always got compliments from those who knew his origins, about how seamlessly he fit in. That was one of the things he could actually thank his father for, the trait of adaptability. It hadn't even been hard for him to get along with humans when he'd first come here, well, other than a couple incidents over Stephen.

She sighed to herself, adjusting her hat and eating another fry before she typed her response, feet tapping anxiously on the floor.
[ Yeah, I guess, but our parents arent evil. Like father like kids, right?? Theres no way Fury told our dads about this. ]
And she passed the phone back, still chewing on the side of her thumb, even as she tasted blood. It was a nasty, nervous habit, but it was better than her blurting all of this out in the middle of the cafeteria, because she knew that she would do that if she didn't consciously keep herself from doing so.

Ebb Acton || "Fae" || Dragons Vein || around 16, though he's been around longer than that || Male || Ebb certainly isn't the kind of person that you look at and think he's sixteen. He has quite the baby face with blue-green eyes and a wide smile that he almost always has. He has the kid of eyes that tell you everything he's thinking or doing and whether it's good or bad. He has what looks to be tattoos all over his body, including around his right eye, but it's more like concentrated markings of his magic. Ever since he arrived on Earth again, he's taken to dying his hair - it's a trend he enjoys. He usually has it dyed green because, if you haven't noticed, green is kind of his thing. || Despite being misplaced for 300 years with little to no contact with the actual developing world, Ebb has fit himself into society pretty well. He's more like the old folks who like to do things the old way. He's a friendly and hands on kid who likes to learn by doing, which is how he's made it so long without getting himself killed by some piece of technology he doesn't understand. He talks all the time and isn't the kind of person to really beat around the bush because he finds it pointless. But, he isn't mean in that regard. || Ebb is extremely well versed in magic, specifically fae magic. He does magic constantly and is always training to make it stronger. || 300 years ago, after messing with things he shouldn't have, Ebb ended up with the fae in their part of the world, and eventually his brothers were dragged in after him. Above all else, by training his magic, Ebb hopes to bring his brothers back into the real world with him.

AJ felt strange as she listened quietly . For a start , those were things she normally didn't do ; listening and being quiet . She couldn't quite explain why , but as she watched him with curious eyes , she realized that she felt as though she'd known Sleipnir for a lot longer than she really had . Things weren't really awkward , at least , not for her , in the way that it was when she'd usually met new people . It felt so natural , not forced like when she'd been babysat with Daniel , Lila , and the other Avenger spawns as little kids . She figured he probably didn't see it the same way - he was just being nice because he was probably a nice person ... The thought was comforting , though , knowing she had a friend .
After laying there for a moment , FRIDAY's typical system kicked in as she took notice of the setting sun outside . The ceiling above had slowly faded to a deep black , and the cosmos that was above their heads outside was now inside in her own little space . Certainly AJ would prefer to go stargazing rather than stare at her room , but this was perfect for cloudy nights like this . " Don't freak out , it's just FRIDAY doing her thing , " She chuckled .
She rubbed her cheek momentarily in hopes of somehow dissolving the blush that still remained . " I can imagine that was pretty weird , but dude , what I'd give to leave Earth . Like , how outrageous ; to be born somewhere normal people like me can't touch ? That's incredible . "
Her eagerness seemed to fade however . AJ shifted uncomfortably as she sighed , " I wish that ... I dunno , I was like some of the other students , " She said suddenly , " I mean , I don't have any special powers or anything like that . I'm just a kid from a wealthy family , and let me tell you , while money casts the illusion of a super power , it's not one . " She muttered in defeat , raising a hand to interact with the stars above her . She pulled a constellation closer and it projected downward , as if she was holding it between her dainty hands .
" This is Aquila , one of my favorite constellations . It's an eagle . Did you know that Aquila has three stars brighter than magnitude 3.00 , and two stars located within 10 parsecs - er , well , 32.6 light years of Earth ? The brightest star in the constellation is Altair , Alpha Aquilae , which is also the 12th brightest star in the sky . Altair is also the nearest star in Aquila , at a distance of only 16.77 light years from Earth. " AJ muttered , as if whatever she was spitting out wasn't important , " And by the way , being able to name every star in the sky is also not a super power . It's a skill gained by a process called lots and lots of being ignored by your parents . "
She coughed , clearing her throat and tossing the constellation back up into the sky , " Ew , wow , had emotions for a second there , that was gross , zero - out - of - ten , would not recommend . " She laughed awkwardly , trying to play the whole incident off .

- The godling's first thought, as the pinpricks of light showed up on the ceiling, was that it was almost like the night sky back home. They were all different of course, but without things like television and video games and a cellphone to distract him as a small child, watching the stars had been a sort of game for him and his boyhood companions.
Ten points for whoever saw one fall.
"The way I look at it, I'm as normal as you are," he shrugged, stilling his feet and letting his heels rest on the lip of her bed frame, "I was born, and I'm living, and I will eventually die. Us 'gods' are really just as mortal as you are. I'm sure, that someday, you will be able to go outside of Earth, if you want to. We figured it out." He let his palms rest flat on his stomach now, frowning and turning his head to look at her in the half light.
He thought that he understood what she meant, about the money. But, he thought that she was intelligent, very much so, just like her father clearly was. He was about to tell her just that, albeit a bit awkwardly, but then she brought the stars right to them, and he watched, the lights reflecting off his dark eyes. He was familiar with the star she was speaking of and was holding in her hands, but it had gone by a different name in Asgard, and had only been visible every half-century when certain ripples in space-time had lined up just right, giving them a beautiful view into the Midgardian cosmos.
"Mmm, yeah, emotions," was all he said, crinkling up his nose and laughing a proper laugh, turning his head away and resuming the light kicks to the side of her bed, "gross."

- Lila caught the phone as he slid it back, reading his message while chewing absently at a hangnail. She sighed to herself, adjusting her hat and eating another fry before she typed her response, feet tapping anxiously on the floor.
[ Yeah, I guess, but our parents arent evil. Like father like kids, right?? Theres no way Fury told our dads about this. ]
And she passed the phone back, still chewing on the side of her thumb, even as she tasted blood. It was a nasty, nervous habit, but it was better than her blurting all of this out in the middle of the cafeteria, because she knew that she would do that if she didn't consciously keep herself from doing so. (( cOME ON AND S L A M I got my bestie to join the site and they're gonna hop on this thread w/ us I'm excited ))
Daniel reached forward and frowned sharply , his eyebrows furrowing as he swatted at his friend's hand . You're doing the thing ! His gaze seemed to say , and he slipped her a pack of gum . He figured that was better than crunching on her fingers .
[ I don't think anybody else knows . The whole thing just sounds like a whole lot of bad news to me , Lil . Maybe we can talk to AJ about it and see what she thinks ? Well ... On second thought ... ]
Then again , when was the concern of others ever AJ's interest ? He tried to forget the countless times the two had their tiffs as kids , and yet somehow they were still glued together . She always seemed so wrapped up in herself and her work , maybe it was better they just tried to handle it alone . He nearly jumped out of his skin as Peyton slid in on her Heeleys , resting an elbow on his shoulder .
" Dudes , you're so quiet all of a sudden ! We thought you disappeared ! "

Name: Sampson Joshua Quill || Nickname: Sam, Sammy. Superhero name: ___ Preferred name: Sam || Roleplayed by tyntyn96 || Age: 17 || Gender: Cis Male || Related to: Peter Quill and Gamora
|| Looks: He's very much a mix of both his mother and his father, with Peter's strong jawline and build, and Gamora's slim nose and good cheekbones. He also got his mother's green skin. He now fits into his dad's old costume, and wears it most days, as Peter has gotten a little bit of an upgrade and as passed the clothes and the helmet onto his son.
|| Personality: Sam is very sarcastic and has a very dry and dark sense of humor. He got the anger issues from Gamora, but is normally laughing. He also rarely takes anything seriously and uses humor as a defense mechanism. Unlike his father, however, he doesn't really care about sex/relationships unless he really has a connection with them. He more leans toward focusing on his training.
|| Abilities: Very strong, and since he is part God, thanks to Peter, he is a Creator, as well.

{ ooc: good times my dude!!! and rain you could just have her come over to our guys, i guess. }
- Lila grumbled as he batted her hand away from her mouth, but sighed, wiping her fingers on the inside of her shirt and picking up the pack of gum, taking a piece and popping it into her mouth as Danny put the phone back in front of her.
After she'd made sure that her thumb wasn't gushing blood, she picking it up, chewing the gum ferociously as she began to type.
And then Peyton was there, and she was fumbling to not drop the phone, catching it with one hand before shoving it back at Danny. "You have eyes," she chuckled, a bit nervously, reaching up and flicking Peyton's nose, "we're right here. Some of our voices get tired, you know?" Or they got caught up typing about the possibility of villain kids in their school, which was supposed to be training heroes.
Lil didn't like the idea of Loki's kid mixed in with the rest of them. To her, it wasn't biased or silly. It was the direct descendant of the guy who had done something so horrible to her dad that he got pale and clammy when it got brought up, and the rest of their parents weren't much different. When she found out who they were, it wasn't too unimaginable to her that she might pop them in the nose, just to show them their place.

Peyton squeaked , holding her nose and rubbing it lightly with her hand . She glided away from her feelies on her heeleys and headed for a vending machine , deciding it was best to let them have their conversation while she found something to wash all those burritos down with .
Daniel frowned , flicking his friend's nose in response and sighing . " Whatever the case is about this whole thing , it looks like you and I are going to have to get to the bottom of it . The last thing we need is the school in an uproar . I can't imagine Fury is going to be too thrilled if he finds out about all this . " He told her , standing up and stretching .
" If you want , we can go back to my dorm and I'll see if I can get more information for us . "

- The godling's first thought, as the pinpricks of light showed up on the ceiling, was that it was almost like the night sky back home. They were all different of course, but without things like television and video games and a cellphone to distract him as a small child, watching the stars had been a sort of game for him and his boyhood companions.
Ten points for whoever saw one fall.
"The way I look at it, I'm as normal as you are," he shrugged, stilling his feet and letting his heels rest on the lip of her bed frame, "I was born, and I'm living, and I will eventually die. Us 'gods' are really just as mortal as you are. I'm sure, that someday, you will be able to go outside of Earth, if you want to. We figured it out." He let his palms rest flat on his stomach now, frowning and turning his head to look at her in the half light.
He thought that he understood what she meant, about the money. But, he thought that she was intelligent, very much so, just like her father clearly was. He was about to tell her just that, albeit a bit awkwardly, but then she brought the stars right to them, and he watched, the lights reflecting off his dark eyes. He was familiar with the star she was speaking of and was holding in her hands, but it had gone by a different name in Asgard, and had only been visible every half-century when certain ripples in space-time had lined up just right, giving them a beautiful view into the Midgardian cosmos.
"Mmm, yeah, emotions," was all he said, crinkling up his nose and laughing a proper laugh, turning his head away and resuming the light kicks to the side of her bed, "gross." Adrianna looked to Sleipnir , quietly wondering if what he said was true . That one day , she could leave Earth if she so desired . She closed her eyes for a moment as she drew in a deep breath , a tiny smile on her lips . " Oh yeah ? Guess you'll have to take me somewhere then , some day . " She opened one eye to look back to him before closing it again , resting her hands on her stomach as well . " That'd be nice , don't you think ? "
She didn't say anything about it aloud , but she liked when he laughed . It was nice , and certainly something Danny hardly ever did . She didn't even think she'd seen the kid smile in all the years she knew him . He was so ... stoic .
AJ found herself laughing too , nudging him with her arm lightly . " Well , the world is an imperfect place , gotta have something gross to balance out the good stuff . Emotions are the negative to the positive that is Hot Pockets . " She grinned , " But only the four - cheese pizza ones , or the ham and cheese ones . Just sayin' . " The brunette stifled a yawn as she tipped her head to lean against Sleipnir's shoulder , reaching up and pulling down another constellation , this time , it was Pegasus , another favorite of hers .
" And scary insects balance out the pretty stars ; this is another one of my favorites - Pegasus . "

- Lila scrunched up her nose, blowing a raspberry at him, standing as he stood. "We should probably enlist Tech Genius AJ's help too, if we're going back to the dorms. If Fury finds us snooping he probably has the Uncle Pass that's required to kick us in the pants," but, even saying that made her laugh, and she soon sped off, towards the doors that led towards the dorm halls.
"Come on, Danny! See you later, Peyton! And Chase!"

" And scary insects balance out the pretty stars ; this is another one of my favorites - Pegasus . " - Sleipnir glanced over at her, right as she opened that one eye to look at him, and felt his face heating up once more. He mentally chided himself, rubbing at one of his forearms like he was cold. Even Asgardian teenagers got nervous. "I guess I will," he finally said, turning so that he was looking up at the "stars" again, "I could show you Alfheim. The elves live there." And if he was being honest, it was beautiful to look at, no matter what season it was.
"What's a... Hot Pocket?" he mumbled after a moment, barely even noticing the sudden physical contact as his eyes were drawn to the constellation zooming towards them.
If there was one thing that his mother had forbade him to do, it was to eat most of the "disgusting, processed Midgardian food." He had managed to try some of it in his twenty-odd years on Earth, but Hot Pockets had apparently never made it into his diet.
"Pegasus. Those are real, you know. I do not believe you have them here, but most other realms do. Pegasus. Pegasi? Pegasuses?"

"Pegasus. Those are real, you know. I do not believe you have them here, but most other realms do. Pegasus. Pegasi? Pegasuses?" AJ nearly choked on her words , her face bright red as she looked at him . It was clear by the look on her face that she didn't expect him to sound so serious about it . Would he really do that ? She flipped over onto her stomach , propping herself up to look at him with bright , light brown eyes . " Wait , are you for real ? You're joking , right ? Would you really take me to someplace like that - if it really exists ? "
Her father never really clued her in on other worlds , if he knew anything ( or chose to know anything , ) about them . She never spent much time around Thor , only when she was very young , and not old enough to know any better . Pushing the thought aside , she giggled , " You've never had a Hot Pocket ? Oh boy , your time here is going to be full of new experiences , my guy . "
She rolled back over so her spine straightened out and toyed with the starry image . She beamed as she listened to him tell her they exist in places outside of here . " Dude , if we had Pegasi here , I would not be riding in the car to the mall . That sounds absolutely amazing ... " She smiled softly as she closed her eyes , stifling another yawn . " You sure are something , Sleipnir . Glad we crossed paths . "
And to think her day started out with intentions of going to the spa of all places .
