Last chapter:
"Wow, they sure didn't waste their money on nothing" Beatrix said as they finally sat down. They had left their bags inside their rooms and Steiner left to go and check out his room. All of a sudden there was a knock at the door. Then the nob was turning and two laughing girls walked in...
This chapter:
One girl had green eyes and blonde straight but full hair and a tail (a tail?!) and the other girl had blue eyes and light brown hair with a bit of a wave in it.
"Hi" said the green eyed girl. "My names Mikoto Tribal and this is my friend Teresa Kerwin. I guess were all roommates!"
"Hey, I guess we are!" Replied Beatrix "My names Beatrix Clearwater and these are my friend's, Sarah Lenevia and Michelle Hunter."
"Oh, and please call me Dagger" 'Dagger' added.
"I like your accents, where are you guys from?" Said Teresa smiling. Mikoto nodded in agreement. "Were from Alexandria." Said Michelle. "Are you guys from around here?"
"Yep." Dagger and Beatrix looked at each other and smiled. Their roommates were fun and happy people and they were all ready getting along.
"Did you guys pick your rooms yet? We can't wait to look around." Mikoto said while Teresa smiled and checked out the room.
"Yeah we did, but there are still some good rooms left!" laughed Michelle.
*** After that, Teresa and Mikoto walked into the two rooms that were left and put there suit cases down. Michelle, Dagger and Beatrix walked into their rooms and started to unpack. Dagger took out her laptop and put in on her desk and plugged the charger into the wall and the computer. Then she added her mouse to it and put down her mouse pad and added a picture on the side. She then put a notepad and some writing utensils into the drawers and also added paper. She took out her school stuff and also put it in the desk. She then went to her closet and put her clothes away. She put her fall shirts on hangers on the top, pants on the bottom, and sweaters on the shelves, including her yellow jumper. In the little drawers in the closet she added her undergarments, socks and bathing suits. (She was bound to go swimming sometime.) put her light and heavy jackets into the closet and added her shoes. She brought 8 pairs of shoes. A pair of sneakers, sandals, boots, 3 pairs of high heels, red, black and white, her brown boots (the ones she wears in the game) and the regular white ones with diamonds on the side that she was wearing now. She kept the rest of her clothes inside the suitcase and put that on the top shelf. She walked over to the bed and took off the sheets. She then added her own and placed her blanket on top. She also added her pillows and took off theirs. Next, she grabbed her doggy stuffed animal and leopard spotted pink baby pillow and added them to the bed. On the two night tables she put her own alarm clock and picture of her family on each side and then filled both of the shelves with books. In the drawers, she put her CD player, CD's, magazines and her diary. She added a tissue box on the desk and on her right hand side night table. Next she went to the mirror and drawers and put in her make-up and accessories. In the drawers underneath the t.v. she put the videos that she brought along and also some and computer games. She noticed that there were some gamecube games in the drawers too. She then walked into the bathroom and put her toiletries away. Shampoo, conditioner, and her body wash was put in the shower/bathtub. When she was done, she glanced around the room with a satisfied look, but then her eyes closed in concentration as she remembered something. She walked over to her closet and pulled out the Lord Avon play book that Eiko gave her, and placed it on the bed. She then walked out to the living room and put her light and heavy jackets in the closet. Then she sat down and watched t.v. until everyone was done.
"Finally!" Said a smiling Beatrix "I'm done"
"Good for you!" said Dagger looking up from the t.v."I'm just waiting for everyone to get done already and then go shopping!"
"Hehe, but don't forget about the presentation tomorrow morning" said Beatrix with a sly grin on her face.
"What presentation?" asked Mikoto Teresa, Dagger and Michelle together. Mikoto, Michelle, and Teresa just walked out of their bedrooms and into the living room.
"Remember in the guide that they gave us when we got on the charter buses?" said Beatrix. When nobody answered she went on. "The one that told us all about L.U.Y.A.A.?" Still, she was met by blank faces. "Arrrgggghhhhhhh! Alrighty then, in the guide it told us that at 10:00 in the morning there will be an assembly in the theater room on the10th floor and that all first years should go to it so they will know what they are up against."
"Wow, it's a good thing you told us that, I was gonna spend all night roaming around just to get the feel of the city... and eat!!!" Dagger said while Michelle, Mikoto, and Teresa laughed.
Out of no where, someone knocked on the door.
"Ohhhh! It must be the guys!!!" cried out Mikoto while jumping up to answer the door. Outside were three guys and Steiner standing there waiting to be let in. A guy with red hair wearing a bandana walked in and was almost trampled to the ground when a very excited Mikoto jumped on him. "AHHHHH! BLANK, I AM SO HAPPY YOU FINALLY MADE IT!" yelled Mikoto. 5 seconds later...
"Oh sorry everyone, that was rude of me" Mikoto said while letting go of Blank and brushing herself off. "Dagger, Beatrix, Michelle, I would like you to meet Blank Yorke, my boyfriend, (he has red hair and black sunglasses on. His eye color is green. (I really don't know but since this IS my story, it's gonna be! lol) He is wearing a long red shirt and baggy blue jeans.) his friend and also Teresa's boyfriend Marcus Sharpe, (he had brown eyes and brown hair and wore a navy blue sweatshirt and baggy blue jeans.) Cinna Mason, (a fat kid with brown hair, covered by a bandanna and hazel eyes. He wore a blue shirt that looked like it was 5 sizes too big and blue jeans.) and *sadly* my *twin* brother Zidane er.. Tribal. (A boy with blonde hair that went up to his shoulders and was tied back with a ponytail. His ocean blue eyes looked even bluer because of his black sweatshirt and baggy blue jeans he was wearing.) As she said that, she pointed to each one so that they all knew who everyone was. "Although I'm not quite sure if I met this guy before." she said while looking at Steiner.
"Oh that's quite alright" said Beatrix. "It's my turn for introductions. Everyone, this is my boyfriend Steiner, Steiner this is Mikoto, Teresa, and their friends whom you have already met... I think."
"Yes, all four of us are roommates, so yeah we already met." Steiner pointed out. After the introductions, they all started moving to the couches and sitting down talking to one another. Dagger couldn't help but sneak peeks at a certain blonde haired blue eyed boy, and, out of the corner of her eye, she realized he was doing the same thing too.
"So, as Dagger said before, why don't we all go out and have dinner and then get to know this place a little better?" Teresa said while holding Marcus' hand. Everyone agreed and they all went to go and put their shoes on. Even in September, it was still a little warm out with a nice cool breeze so no one really bothered with a coat.
Outside...
"What do you guys want to eat?" Mikoto said while looking down the sidewalk, Blanks arm loosely draped over her shoulder. Marcus and Teresa were holding hands and talking about their favorite food with Steiner and Beatrix. Michelle and Cinna were talking about... whatever they were talking about. Dagger was only half listening because she was too busy looking at the huge buildings. In Alexandria there were a lot of buildings but she never really went to the city so she wasn't really used to it. From her house, the only big buildings you saw were people's houses. Zidane was watching her and wondering what she was looking at.
"Whatcha lookin' at?" Zidane asked her, while looking in the direction of her gaze.
"Oh" she said startled, jumping out of her reverie. "I was just looking at all of the buildings. I never realized some could be that tall!"
"Well maybe I could show you around some time" Zidane said while wiggling his eyebrows in a flirtatious way. (Zidane's personality is the same as in the game.)
"Umm...." Dagger replied but was cut off when Beatrix spoke.
"So, where in the world do you guys wanna go to eat???" she said, exasperated.
"We told you already! We wanna eat Italian" Mikoto and Blank said together.
"But Steiner and I wanna eat German!" Beatrix said.
"How about we go and eat Japanese?" suggested Michelle.
"Yeah! Lets eat Japanese!" Dagger agreed.
"Japanese sounds cool" Zidane said casually. Michelle beamed (ya no... smiled!) at Zidane.
"Alrighty then, Japanese it is." Cinna said while all the people who didn't want it groaned.
"Umm......" Blank said. "Does anyone know where there is a Japanese restaurant around here?" When no one said anything, Michelle piped up.
"We could always just walk around and look for one!" She said smiling. They all murmured sounds of agreement.
"Well, lets start moving then, shall we?" Steiner said while walking along down the sidewalk, holding Beatrix's hand. Everyone followed.
***
When they finally found a restaurant...
"This place looks good!" Mikoto said. The restaurant was big, with gigantic bonsai plants sticking out of the ground right next to the building. (Ok, I'm not gonna get into much detail here, so to make a long story short, the building looked like any other Japanese restaurant, just bigger.) They walked inside and was greeted by about 10 different Japanese hostess' in kimonos.
"Kinichiwah!" (Or however you say and spell it) all 10 of them said.
"How many are there tonight?" one hostess asked in her thick Japanese accent.
"10, non-smoking." Steiner said after he counted everyone. (Were cigarettes even invented?)
"Ok! Right this way please!" the hostess said. The seating order was like this: Blank and Mikoto were on the two end chairs, Marcus and Teresa were sitting next to them on the horizontal side, with Michelle, Zidane and Dagger next, and Beatrix and Steiner at the other end. (They were eating Hibachi) After they were seated, they all looked at their menus.
"Well, I know what I'm having" Dagger said.
"What's that?" Zidane asked while looking at her menu.
"I'm gonna get the filet mignon." Dagger said.
"Wanna split it?" Beatrix asked. "Sorry I overheard, and I was thinking of getting the same thing, but of course, the portions are always so big!"
"Sure!" Dagger said with a smile.
"I'm gonna get shrimp!" Zidane said and Dagger giggled. "What's funny about that?" He said, confused o_O.
"Oh, well I just remembered that that's what Eiko would always get when we went out to eat together, for Hibachi of course." Dagger explained.
"Oh, I remember!" Steiner said and Beatrix nodded her agreement.
"Whose Eiko?" Zidane asked.
"She's our cousin" Steiner said as Daggers eyes lit up.
"Oh man! I just remembered that I was supposed to call my parents when I got in! Dagger said. "I can't believe I forgot!" She then excused herself and went outside to call her mom and dad on her cell phone.
"Hello! Welcome to Ichiban! May I take your order?" a female waitress asked. Yeah, we want the hibachi chicken." Mikoto said while pointing to her and Blank.
"I want California rolls." Teresa said.
ïI'll have the lobster.ïï Marcus said.
"Umm.... I'll have the.... cucumber rolls." Michelle said and handed her menu to the waitress.
"I'll have shrimp." Zidane said. "And Dagger will have the filet mignon."
"Oh and she's sharing with me!" Beatrix said.
"Yeah and I'll have sushi" Steiner said. After they all ordered, everyone started talking to one another.
5 minutes later...
"Don't you think Dagger should've been back by know?" Zidane asked. Everyone nodded their heads 'yes'. "I'm gonna go and check up on her ok?" When everyone didn't object he got up from the table.
"Wait... Zidane! I'll come with you!" Michelle said and walked after him.
"Umm.... I don't need help walking outside Michelle, you could go and sit down if you want, I'm not a baby you know." Zidane said as he looked at Michelle side-ways.
"Yeah, well, Dagger is my friend too" explained Michelle "And I can be worried about her too if I want!" As she said the last bit, she pouted and made puppy dog eyes.
"Oh, I'm sorry Michelle, I didn't mean to offend you or anything!" Zidane said while scratching the back of his head.
"That's ok!" she said and smiled again.
'Weird...' thought Zidane, but kept it to himself. By that time, they had reached the front entrance of the restaurant. Outside, Dagger was talking to Eiko on the phone.
"So he really said that?!?!?!"
"Yeah, and he gave me a big hug too!"
"Your kidding Eiko! That's so cute!" Dagger said and couldn't help but laugh.
"Well I don't think it's cute! I think it's disgusting!!!"
"What's cute?" Michelle said.
"Oh hey guys!" Dagger said and turned around to face Zidane and Michelle. "This kid named Vivi at Eiko's school has a crush on Eiko and just told her! Isn't that romantic?" Dagger said dreamily.
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING DAG?!?!? WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?!?!?! DIDN'T I JUST CLEARLY TELL YOU NOT TO TELL ANYONE!!!!!!" Eiko screamed, and everyone from a mile radius (not really) heard her.
"Oh, sorry little E, I just told Michelle and Zidane." "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, whose Zidane?!?!" Eiko said mockingly.
"A friend." Dagger said. "What you think he's my boyfriend or something?" Dagger said, and then remembered that Zidane was right NEXT to her.
"Are you talking about me?!?!" Zidane said, er, should I say, nearly screamed.
"Umm.... n-n-no?!" Dagger stuttered, while blushing furiously.
"Ok whatever, shows over!" Michelle said and jumped in front Dagger. Come on you saw Dag, know let's go and wait sit over there and wait till she's done, shall we? Michelle said, dragging Zidane with her to a bench.
"Dag? Daggy?? DAGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Eiko shouted into the phone.
"Wha-what?!?!" Dagger said, jumping out of her reverie.
"Sorry, I thought you hung up on me!" Eiko said and you could tell, by the sound of her voice, that she wasn't very happy.
"What's the matter?" Dagger said.
"You still haven't helped me with the Vivi problem!!!!!!!!!!"
"You know what I think?" Dagger said "Well of course you don't.... ok anyway... I think you should just go out with him!" she smiled.
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" That's disgusting!!! I would rather eat broccoli!"
"Yeah well..... that's what I would do anyway!" Dagger said then added "It's more like puppy love at your age, so I really wouldn't read into it that much, plus, if you don't wanna go out with him, then at least befriend him! Boy's make the best friends! Also, if you go to a dance, you could always ask him!"
"Dag, i'm only in third grade ya know!" Eiko said. "But since you're my FAVORITE, FAVORITE, FAVORITE, FAVORITE cousin in the whole wide world, I'll take your advice on the matter at hand, but, I'll say this now, I am NOT, I repeat, NOT gonna go out with him!"
"Ok, well anyway Eik's, I gotta go, k? Love you soooo much! Tell everyone I said hi!"
"K Daggy, buh bye! Oh and by the way, I MISS YOU!"
"I miss you too Eiko, bye!" She then hung up and walked over to the bench that Zidane and Michelle were sitting at.
"...and then he said to me, "did you want another drink?" Michelle laughed, while Zidane looked bored and confused.
"Finally!!!" Zidane said, jumping up at the sight of Dagger.
"What, did I take too long or something?" Dagger said, while smirking them.
"No, we just thought you got lost or something," Zidane joked.
"Yeah, well, the chef is probably cooking our food right know, so let's go! I'm starving!" Michelle started to walk back to the restaurant.
"So, why were you talking about me?" Zidane said to Dagger. She blushed. "Umm......... my cousin thought you were my um.... boyfriend." She said and looked straight ahead, not being able to meet his eyes.
"Oh, I see, so what did you tell her?" Zidane asked and turned his head to the side to look at her properly.
"Oh, don't get a big ego, I just told her you were my friend!" Dagger said and was finally able to meet his eyes. 'Wow, I never realized how bright his eyes really are. Snap out of it Dag!' She scolded herself. They walked inside and sat down at their table.
"Hey Bea, guess what!" Dagger said as she sat down.
"What?"
"Eiko's got herself a boyfriend" she said casually and ate a fork full of salad that the waitress just brought her.
"What?!?!?!" Steiner said jumping out of his seat.
"Sit down Adelbert, you're making a skeptical of yourself." Dagger said while looking at Steiner.
"She has a boyfriend?!?!" Beatrix answered for herself and Steiner.
"Yep, well at least that's what she told me" Dagger said while examining her cucumber.
"Well I see you took it well enough." Beatrix said to Dagger.
"Well of course silly!" Dagger said smiling at her friend. "I was the one who told her to go out with him in the first place!"
"You WHAT?!" Steiner said and jumped up again.
"Honestly Sir. Rust-a-lot, can you at least refrain from jumping up all the time?" Zidane said. (Yeah just to tell you, Steiner had on his armor, like in the game)
"Be quiet monkey boy, this is no time for your childish acts, this is family business!" Steiner yelled.
"Hey, he is not a monkey!" Dagger yelled at Steiner. (That sounded like Dave the Barbarian on Disney channel!!! ^_^)
"Will you people shut up already?!?!" a guy from the table down yelled at them. They didn't need to be told twice.
"What the heck are you guy's talking about anyway?" Mikoto said.
"Nothing!" They all answered in unison. Finally, the chef came, and they all went back into their normal conversations.
"Hey Dag, thanks for sticking up for me before, but that's ok, I'm used to being called a monkey." He said and put on a lopsided smiled. (Aww!!!! Poor Zidane!!! :(*tear*)
"Why? Who cares about what you look like? I mean your pretty cool!" Dagger said. 'Oh my god, did I just say that out loud?!?!' Dagger thought.
"Thanks!" Zidane said.
"Alrighty then." Dagger said and smiled. They got lost in each others eyes for a few seconds until Beatrix tapped Dagger on the shoulder and pulled them out of their reveries. They got back into normal conversation but looked at each other every now and then. By that time, the food was half way done and some food was on their plates.

"I'm gonna get shrimp!" Zidane said and Dagger giggled. "What's funny about that?" He said, confused o_O.
"Oh, well I just remembered that that's what Eiko would always get when we went out to eat together, for Hibachi of course." Dagger explained.
"Oh, I remember!" Steiner said and Beatrix nodded her agreement.
"Whose Eiko?" Zidane asked.
"She's our cousin" Steiner said as Daggers eyes lit up.
"Oh man! I just remembered that I was supposed to call my parents when I got in! Dagger said. "I can't believe I forgot!" She then excused herself and went outside to call her mom and dad on her cell phone.
"Hello! Welcome to Ichiban! May I take your order?" a female waitress asked. Yeah, we want the hibachi chicken." Mikoto said while pointing to her and Blank.
"I want California rolls." Teresa said.
ïI'll have the lobster.ïï Marcus said.
"Umm.... I'll have the.... cucumber rolls." Michelle said and handed her menu to the waitress.
"I'll have shrimp." Zidane said. "And Dagger will have the filet mignon."
"Oh and she's sharing with me!" Beatrix said.
"Yeah and I'll have sushi" Steiner said. After they all ordered, everyone started talking to one another.
5 minutes later...
"Don't you think Dagger should've been back by know?" Zidane asked. Everyone nodded their heads 'yes'. "I'm gonna go and check up on her ok?" When everyone didn't object he got up from the table.
"Wait... Zidane! I'll come with you!" Michelle said and walked after him.
"Umm.... I don't need help walking outside Michelle, you could go and sit down if you want, I'm not a baby you know." Zidane said as he looked at Michelle side-ways.
"Yeah, well, Dagger is my friend too" explained Michelle "And I can be worried about her too if I want!" As she said the last bit, she pouted and made puppy dog eyes.
"Oh, I'm sorry Michelle, I didn't mean to offend you or anything!" Zidane said while scratching the back of his head.
"That's ok!" she said and smiled again.
'Weird...' thought Zidane, but kept it to himself. By that time, they had reached the front entrance of the restaurant. Outside, Dagger was talking to Eiko on the phone.
"So he really said that?!?!?!"
"Yeah, and he gave me a big hug too!"
"Your kidding Eiko! That's so cute!" Dagger said and couldn't help but laugh.
"Well I don't think it's cute! I think it's disgusting!!!"
"What's cute?" Michelle said.
"Oh hey guys!" Dagger said and turned around to face Zidane and Michelle. "This kid named Vivi at Eiko's school has a crush on Eiko and just told her! Isn't that romantic?" Dagger said dreamily.
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING DAG?!?!? WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?!?!?! DIDN'T I JUST CLEARLY TELL YOU NOT TO TELL ANYONE!!!!!!" Eiko screamed, and everyone from a mile radius (not really) heard her.
"Oh, sorry little E, I just told Michelle and Zidane." "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, whose Zidane?!?!" Eiko said mockingly.
"A friend." Dagger said. "What you think he's my boyfriend or something?" Dagger said, and then remembered that Zidane was right NEXT to her.
"Are you talking about me?!?!" Zidane said, er, should I say, nearly screamed.
"Umm.... n-n-no?!" Dagger stuttered, while blushing furiously.
"Ok whatever, shows over!" Michelle said and jumped in front Dagger. Come on you saw Dag, know let's go and wait sit over there and wait till she's done, shall we? Michelle said, dragging Zidane with her to a bench.
"Dag? Daggy?? DAGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Eiko shouted into the phone.
"Wha-what?!?!" Dagger said, jumping out of her reverie.
"Sorry, I thought you hung up on me!" Eiko said and you could tell, by the sound of her voice, that she wasn't very happy.
"What's the matter?" Dagger said.
"You still haven't helped me with the Vivi problem!!!!!!!!!!"
"You know what I think?" Dagger said "Well of course you don't.... ok anyway... I think you should just go out with him!" she smiled.
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" That's disgusting!!! I would rather eat broccoli!"
"Yeah well..... that's what I would do anyway!" Dagger said then added "It's more like puppy love at your age, so I really wouldn't read into it that much, plus, if you don't wanna go out with him, then at least befriend him! Boy's make the best friends! Also, if you go to a dance, you could always ask him!"
"Dag, i'm only in third grade ya know!" Eiko said. "But since you're my FAVORITE, FAVORITE, FAVORITE, FAVORITE cousin in the whole wide world, I'll take your advice on the matter at hand, but, I'll say this now, I am NOT, I repeat, NOT gonna go out with him!"
"Ok, well anyway Eik's, I gotta go, k? Love you soooo much! Tell everyone I said hi!"
"K Daggy, buh bye! Oh and by the way, I MISS YOU!"
"I miss you too Eiko, bye!" She then hung up and walked over to the bench that Zidane and Michelle were sitting at.
"...and then he said to me, "did you want another drink?" Michelle laughed, while Zidane looked bored and confused.
"Finally!!!" Zidane said, jumping up at the sight of Dagger.
"What, did I take too long or something?" Dagger said, while smirking them.
"No, we just thought you got lost or something," Zidane joked.
"Yeah, well, the chef is probably cooking our food right know, so let's go! I'm starving!" Michelle started to walk back to the restaurant.
"So, why were you talking about me?" Zidane said to Dagger. She blushed. "Umm......... my cousin thought you were my um.... boyfriend." She said and looked straight ahead, not being able to meet his eyes.
"Oh, I see, so what did you tell her?" Zidane asked and turned his head to the side to look at her properly.
"Oh, don't get a big ego, I just told her you were my friend!" Dagger said and was finally able to meet his eyes. 'Wow, I never realized how bright his eyes really are. Snap out of it Dag!' She scolded herself. They walked inside and sat down at their table.
"Hey Bea, guess what!" Dagger said as she sat down.
"What?"
"Eiko's got herself a boyfriend" she said casually and ate a fork full of salad that the waitress just brought her.
"What?!?!?!" Steiner said jumping out of his seat.
"Sit down Adelbert, you're making a skeptical of yourself." Dagger said while looking at Steiner.
"She has a boyfriend?!?!" Beatrix answered for herself and Steiner.
"Yep, well at least that's what she told me" Dagger said while examining her cucumber.
"Well I see you took it well enough." Beatrix said to Dagger.
"Well of course silly!" Dagger said smiling at her friend. "I was the one who told her to go out with him in the first place!"
"You WHAT?!" Steiner said and jumped up again.
"Honestly Sir. Rust-a-lot, can you at least refrain from jumping up all the time?" Zidane said. (Yeah just to tell you, Steiner had on his armor, like in the game)
"Be quiet monkey boy, this is no time for your childish acts, this is family business!" Steiner yelled.
"Hey, he is not a monkey!" Dagger yelled at Steiner. (That sounded like Dave the Barbarian on Disney channel!!! ^_^)
"Will you people shut up already?!?!" a guy from the table down yelled at them. They didn't need to be told twice.
"What the heck are you guy's talking about anyway?" Mikoto said.
"Nothing!" They all answered in unison. Finally, the chef came, and they all went back into their normal conversations.
"Hey Dag, thanks for sticking up for me before, but that's ok, I'm used to being called a monkey." He said and put on a lopsided smiled. (Aww!!!! Poor Zidane!!! :(*tear*)
"Why? Who cares about what you look like? I mean your pretty cool!" Dagger said. 'Oh my god, did I just say that out loud?!?!' Dagger thought.
"Thanks!" Zidane said.
"Alrighty then." Dagger said and smiled. They got lost in each others eyes for a few seconds until Beatrix tapped Dagger on the shoulder and pulled them out of their reveries. They got back into normal conversation but looked at each other every now and then. By that time, the food was half way done and some food was on their plates.
