summary: Saavik comes to the Academy, what happens in free time befor classes start...

Saavik rolls her belongs down a hall on a dolly in til she comes to room 79 in section 3 of the Ray building. 'this is my new home for the next 4 years.. will my uhh yes roommate be in yet..' she thought as the door open to revie to 2 standend beds line the wall with 2 desks between them faceing the picture window and near the door was a very small seating area with chair and love seat, in between the seating and sleeping area was 2 closets for the cadets uses.

Saavik rolled in her things in the room and and at ones started to put away all her cadet uniforms and vulcan robe to the closet into the right one then all her novals and text books on to the right desk. she trun to the bed to make it up with black sheet and hangs one house banner that seen to be one of the few peaces to her past and one simi-new Valcan that gives her new home a feel of her home on Vulcan. aws sshe finsh a the door opens to another cadet enter with her old U.S. MILITARY duful bag and a O'gio gear bag.

when Saavik truns to see who was coming is she did not in her logical mind think it was going to be a young human woman with died blue hair under a black cowgirl hat, bold jade green eyes and stands only a foot smaller then herself. the new cadet throw her gear bag on to the folded up bad as she said in a thigh spainsh actsent, "Hola, I am Cadet Serenity Alexander Vazques Ramirez..." she smiled to the Vulcan agraging the room, " plaser to meet you... I guess we're roomies..."

Saavik held up her hand int he vulcan manner, "Greeting Cadet Vazques Ramirez. I am Cadet Saavik of Vulcan."

the Cadet nodded to her then begain to thow her US MILITARY bag in to the bottom of the left closet as she placed her text books on the floor under her desk while displaying her CD player and CD colletion on the top of it. she made her bed with blood red sheets then begain to hang a set of Japanese swords, all most fallen part cuban and spainsh flags on to the wall over her bed. the last thing she added to the room was in the seating area where next the chair place a friger of the holy mother mary with lots of candles on a end table.

Saavik watched the cadet move in to the room and trun in it her own with bright yet very dark colors in to the room 'this is new... next logical thing is..' Saavik spook to the cadet "Cadet Vazques Ramirez, what is you studying at the Academy?"

Serenity took off her hat placing it on her knee as she sat down on her bed, "i'm going to an engineer and science officer. what are you, Saavik?"

"I am not shure at this time..." she sat across form Serenity.

"so we have two weeks beofre classes starts. Do you have any plans yet?"

Saavik replies, "not at this time. Do you have any plans, Vazques Ramirez?"

"not really.. hay, your new to earth, I'll take you round if you like…" she smiles adding, "and please call me Serenity."

Just before Saavik is about to answer her the door to the room opens to a group of other cadets coming in to see Serenity. One girl says, "hay 'Dark angel' so this is where your hiding your self! We're heading to the beach.. Want to come and bring your CDs"

Serenity laughs and smiles saying to her friends, "maybe later, we'll meet up with you later then.." the group leaves soon after, "what were you going to say?"

"I know little of earth and its customs.. you do not have to spend time with me if you like to go with you friends, Serenity."

"I'll show you earth then we can meet up with them, you'll need to bring a a swim suit for later…" Saavik face shows fer confusion but before she had a chase to ask Serenity tossed her a one peace suit along with towel, "come on, I'll show you Los Angela before we meet up with the others, ok.." Serenity smiled as Saavik nodes her head and they set out on the streets of LA and see what earth had to see. They Stopped at a small café for a small meal then went to the beach.

Saaavik lean may things about her roommate and how some humans act like. She thinks to her self, "this world is very illogical place to live...' they out of Serenity's Jeep only to walk a mile over sand to wear the small group were sun baving and surfing the smaller waves.

Over the next few hours Sereniy and Saavik talked, leason to music and had fun. Serenity intusded Saavik to her friends, "hay guys, this us Saavik, my roommate…. Be nice to her , she just came from Vulcan."

Boy near the right side pointed to his left and started to name off the group, "that Matthew or Fox, I'm Oz, to the right is Deiblo or Chris, Angle, and then Ghost.."

The girl Angel moved next to Serenity, "hay girl, when do the classes start?"

"in two weeks, I'll study for this… not like high school…"

Angle truned to Saavik, "welcome and Angle is my nickname, I'm really Lucy." She smiled, "I hope we can talk more.."

The small group talked, leasoning to music and hung out intill past mid night that evening. Lucy called over to Serenity "hay love, are we doing this next Friday, too?"

"yeah, this and every one after that.." Serenity smiled to her then turn back to Saavik. The little outing as coming to a end for the night so Saavik and Serenity walked back with the Jeep and drive back to their Academy quarters where on Saavik's bed was waiting a package.

Saavik read the padd next to it while Serenity gose to take a shower and get to bed.
