Briar walked into Plant Science early and waited for Sandry to come.

"Mr. Moss, come here please." Came a cold voice.

Briar got up slowly and wondered what he did wrong as he walked over to Miss Rosethorn's desk.

"Yes?' He asked.

"I want to talk to you about some extra credit."

"Me?!"

"No, the other Brian Moss that happens to be standing behind you. You are natural with plants and was wondering if you would be interested in planning a small crop. Once the vegetables are mature, you would bring them to me for inspection and I would give you extra credit points."

"Plant crop? Where?"

"This is Iowa! You can find a place easily enough. Are you interested?"

"Tell me what to plant."

~~~

"You want me to what?!" Briar asked Sandry as they walked home after school. They had to stay late for their Debate team's practice.

"Come on! I need a man so I can fit clothes on him. Please! I need to do it for extra credit!"

Briar puffed out his chest when she called him a man.

"Ok fine."

Sandry squealed with joy. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"When do you need me over?"

"Are you busy now?"

"Now?"

"Sure. Uncle wont mind."

Briar gulped.

"I thought he was your great-uncle."

"He is. He just likes me to call him Uncle." As if sensing his nervousness, she added, "It will be alright. He has been dying to meet you."

"Really?"

"Yes, he wants to meet all my friends."

The President wanted to meet him. He puffed out his chest even more.

"You look like a rooster!" She exclaimed ruining his proud moment. She giggled helplessly and even he laughed at himself.

They kept laughing until they got to her house. Briar stood in awe at the sight of her house. It was big, but no too big. It was made of very fine, red, brick; the best you could buy. It was three stories, but it seemed taller. It was very old fashioned, but as he stepped inside he found out that the inside was completely modern. The front hall was amazing. He put his hand up, tracing the pattern; it looked like vines.

Sandry stood there watching him feel the wall. Then it hit her. The vines reminded her of Briar. It was probably just his name though.

"Who did this paint work?" He asked still obsorbed in the walls.

"I am not sure."

"Well the did a good job. See how they captured the shadow effect and look how they made it appear smooth and soft." He took her hand and had her feel the wall with him.

"Sandry, you are home!" said President Vedris as he strode down the hall.

Briar and Sandry's hands sprung apart. Sandry blushed a deep crimson.

"You must be the famous Briar. I have heard so much about you." The President said extending his hand. Briar shook it. He has heard about me? He raised an eyebrow at Sandry; she blushed even more.

"Well, I am sure you two have much to do so I will let you go. Are you staying for dinner Briar?"

"Um, no. I have to be home at 6:30."

"Ok. Well, see two later."

"Wow. He seemed so…normal." Briar commented as he and Sandry went upstairs.

"Of course he is. He is, after all, human."

"But somehow I did not expect him to be wearing kakis."

Sandry giggled.

A/N: I you look really closely at Sandry's schedule in 'The New Girl…The First Quake…' you will see that Sandry has Debate IV 7th period and Briar is in her 7th. That is why they are on the debate team and Tris and Daja aren't.

To Babooshka: I haven't seen Gone With the Wind for a long time!! We Iowans prefer crappy movies like 'The Field of Dreams' and 'The Bridges of Madison County'. Actually I have been to placed where they shot that movie. My buddy Rachel lives in Winterset. Oh well. LONG LIVE THE TYPO QUEEN!!!!
