One day, while walking through The Smoke, Tally and David met up with Shay and Aya.
The planet had not been put in orbit yet. Aya was so confused that she had added a video to her eyescreen she called 'possible cancellation?' Barely anybody believed it though, despite Aya having a higher face rank now.
Tally wondered why Shay and Aya were here. She didn't really feel in the mood for asking questions though.
David and Tally had found a box of what the Rusties from a place close to Aya's city called fortune cookies.
David decided to share them with everybody.
He let Tally take the first two from the box.
Tally used her special hands to break the fortune cookies open quickly. She then took the fortunes out. She didn't understand where an idea like this would come from. Rolling her eyes, she read the first fortune, "Something that has been lost from you for a long time might be coming back soon." For several minutes she had no idea what it meant, then after she thought about it for a while figured it out. Trying to fight back the tears, she read the next fortune. "Even when you've lost somebody, somebody else is waiting for you."
Tally couldn't tell for sure what that meant, but she could tell it had something to do with Zane and David.
