AN: Kansas is so awesome! I've recently become fond to just listening to it while it read. Some of my favorite songs are: Icarus (Born on Wings of Steel), Cheyenne Anthem, Miracles Out of Nowhere, Dust in the Wind, People of the South Wind, Eleanor Rigby, and Icarus II.

14 year olds Loesia and Tobe were sitting on a bench in the mess hall of New Hope. They were laughing to each other, giggling and pointing at other people. Tobe and Loesia looked at a large, smelly teenager sitting a few tables away, and a shy girl walking by.

"Hi Low-Self-Esteem Girl!" Tobe said to Loesia in a gruff , bear-like growl, "Want to have lunch at separate tables?"

Loesia put on a quiet, shy voice. "That would be lovely, I-Always-Take-Lanterine-Duty Guy!" She mimed tracing her foot on the ground.

They spotted two gossiping teens down the table from them.

"I like your make-up, Too-Much-Eyeshadow-Girl!" Tobe sat up straight and adopted a middle-toned girl's voice.

"Thanks, Volleyball-Is-My-Life Girl!" said Loesia.

They went around the room, commenting on various people. They were just saying: "People don't have a nickname for me, do they Giggles-At-Everything Girl?" and "Not that I know of Too-Much-Hairstyling-Grease Guy! Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee!", when Gydo walked up with her try of food, little brother Meech in tow.

"The people here are hilarious, aren't they Loesia?" said Tobe.

"Yeah, talk about easy targets!" said Loesia. She noticed Gydo and Gydo's forced, unapproving, happy-at-something-you-don't-know smile.

"How's it going, Unfairly-Critical-Of-Other-People friends of mine?" She plunked herself down next to them. Her smile grew wider. "I've noticed your good acting skills, and we didn't want to put them to waste." Gydo said. "So I signed you two up for the 'Be Sure to Eat Your Vegtables' play."

"The B.S.T.E.Y.V. play?" Tobe asked, incredulous. "Lady Kel started that two years ago for Sir Neal, before she got discharged! That's for four year olds!"

"Then you'll fit right in. Come Meech!" She left, a satisfied smirk on her face.

"Nice going, Introduced-Me-To-Gydo-In-The-First-Place Girl." Tobe crossed his arms and slumped.

"Like-wise, So-Overly-Dramatic-It-Reminds-Me-Of-Sir-Neal Guy" said Loesia.
