"Since this is Kes's and and Rick's first group they'll get to go last so they can see how it works. Auggie how bout we start with you? Anything you want to say?," Peter hands Auggie the 'talking stick'. (sorry I don't remember what they called it in the show)
"Sure...um I'm glad we have some new people here ::he looks at Kes:: and I hope they get whatever kind of help they need ::glares at Rick but it goes unnoticed by everyone but Kes who smiles a little:: I guess that's it," Auggie finished and hands the stick to Shelby.
"I'm glad we have some new faces here too." ::gives Rick a coy smile which IS noticed by everyone::
"Yeah I'm sure ya are Shelby and not just cause it means new friends," Scott said and snickers were heard around the room.
"Scott you know the rules. No talking without the stick in your hand so you don't get a turn for this time," Sophie admonished. (yay I used a vocab word! hehe sorry)
Shelby hands the stick to Scott who passes it to Ezra.
"I'm sure that Scott is soo broken up over this. I personally feel sorry for the newbies. Once you're here you will never be the same,"he says in a scary voice and hands the stick to Daisy.
"Well freakin you know that's the point. To make us able to function in society without busting people over their heads with golf clubs or putting grafitti all over walls. Pretty much make us into what we're not," Daisy said in her usual 'I say how I see it' tone.
"Daisy you know that's not true. Horizon is here to help you deal with whatever demons you have to with out the things that might hurt you being here. There's nothing wrong with any of you-defective, you've just had hard things happen to you and you need a place that can put you back on the right track," Peter explained."How bout we give our newbies their chance. Kes you wanna go first?"
"Um...sure," she said shly." I'm glad I'm here I guess cause it's better than...where I could possibly be. Plus all of you seem pretty cool compared to the people at home," Kes said trying not to reveal much. She handed the stick to Rick without looking at him which did not go unnoticed by Peter. Neither did the way that Rick brushed his fingers against Kes's and they happy look he got when she shivered.
"Personally I think the people who put me here are the cracked ones but if it gets me outta school whatever. Plus I get reunited with a 'just friend'," he said with a tint of sarcasim.
"You know someone here?" Sohpie asked surprised.
"Let me guess...would it be Kes?" Peter asked even though he knew he was most likely right.
"Bingo. The man in charge gets it in one," Rick said with a sort of crazy twist in his voice. "Is it time to party yet?"
"I see Shelby has told you of our party for newbies. Sure I'll let all of you go now although group is usually longer." (I have no idea what they did in the show)
All of the cliffhangers start talking and leave the room with Auggie and Kes in the back.
"Kes can I talk to you for a minute?" Peter asked before the could get out the door.
"Um sure," she replied uncertainly.
"Don't worry, everythings cool. Probably just wants to know how you've been getting along on your first day," Auggie whispered comfortingly in her ear. "I'll be right outside with the others."
What does Peter want to talk about with Kes? You'll find out next time on
