"We may be few, but show us what to do, and we'll do it."
"...Oookay. Class…is….in…..session."
"So, when are you going to tell us?"
"Haaaaaa.
I'm not just going to spout to any stranger. I have to know you're ready. I already have most of the Elementals in one place and under one roof, so now I need to focus on backup."
"Question."
"Answer."
"How do you know if any of your parents didin't fight them before? Or...were they too scared?"
"And if they did fight them, why are they still hiding?"
"If they did come to an agreement and the Dragons are free; then why still act as if their location needs to be hidden?"
"Does….it need to be hidden?"
"You guys ask a lot of very great thought-provoking questions, but…"
*Errrrrriiiiiawwiiaaaak*
"How do you know we are going to be enough?"
"Wait, where are you going? You can't tell anybody, or else they might use this info for themselves. Nobody is supposed to know that I told you. Even my sister doesn't know what I just said."
"All the more reason to tell them."
"Wait.....uhhh...….you can't leave until the bell rings.
Class rules."
"Rainbow, when you finally turn into a mom and have your own kids; you'll understand. Until then…....trust works both ways."
"...I'll take that Ice cream now."
"Hey, you can't just take that Sundae out of my hands.....even.....if I did buy it for you."
"A Sunday...on a Monday?
...Yes please."
*Slurrrrrrp*
"So, does this mean you are going to reconsider, and start being good?"
*Sluurpp….slurrrppp….sluuurppp….slurrrpp...Gulp*
"No.
I just wanted the Ice cream. After all, it would be a sin to pass up free food after it was offered to you."
"So, you haven't changed?"
"No.
*Touch.
No she has not."
"Mom, what are you doing here? Now I know 'class hasn't started' is not an excuse; because classes have…started!!!"
"Can I talk to you a sec?"
"Ummm."
"It's about what Theresa said."
".....Excuse a moment.
Mom, you can't change me, so you're gonna have to accept me."
"Stephanie, I trust you....I trust you one hundred percent. In fact.....I want you to amp it up.No…..I...NEED...you to amp it up."
"Amp it up? The only thing worse than a Bully is a...."
"Please?"
"Why are you suddenly supporting me? Why can't you tell me?"
"I'm sorry. It's for your own safety. I know you don't listen to me much, and never trust me, nor take my advice; but I am begging you.....Trust me now."
"........Are these Kids headed for a storm?"
"The Storm is already here. It's brewing on the front. We just need to stop it before it gets any bigger."
"How big is this Storm?"
"........Even rocks will be thrown."
"Get back to class, Mom. I'll handle this."
"I know you will.
Oh, and Stephanie."
"Yes?"
"Don't tell anybody this Storm is coming."
"Why not?"
"Sometimes it is best not to ask."
