Kali wlked into the kitchen warily. But with Noelle at her side, she wasn't scared. She got her food, and sat down next to Noelle. She was very hungry, but she couldn't force the food into her mouth. Instead, she just stared at her plate and pushed her food around, thinking. Kali thought about everything; ran her whole life through her head. Like, when she was five. It was Kali's first day of kindergarten, and she wouldn't let go of her parent's legs, until she saw Karina, and Kali walked right up to her and introduced herself. Her parents thought it was funny, but Kali wanted a friend, and firends don't just happen. You have to make them yourself. Kali and Karina had been friends ever since. Or the time when Kali was ten, and she and Karina had decided to do stunts on the trampoline, despite their parents' warnings. Kali tried to do a backflip, and she didn't make sure she had plenty of room behind her to land. When she started jumping, and began to bend back, Kali fell off the trampoline, and, trying to break her fall, had broken her arm.
She thought about her parents and siblings. SHe had loved them very much, even though they did get on her nerves sometimes.
Kali knew she would make more memories here. Good and bad ones, but that was life. Kali chewed on this thought for a few minutes, and reluctantly began to eat.

Elle lead Kali to the kitchen, and took her through the buffet line for food. Today was chicken day, so she put a drumstick on each plate, adding mashed potatoes and an apple to them as sides. Kali went off to a seat on her own, apparently in deep thought, so Elle followed her in silence. When seated, she ate, watching Kali out of her periphiral vision. Kali was just staring at her food, her eyes seemed glassy. Hm, poor thing. She's probably remembering things from her past. I hope she's ok, she looks so miserable... Elle thought, looking up from her food. After a few moments, she had to break the silence. "S-so, Kali. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?"

Kali was a little startled by Noelle's sudden comment, but, she answered, none the less. "Well, let's see here...I lived in a small town called Spyral in Texas all my life. I always wanted to go out and explore the world, just to get out of that little hick-town, but now I miss it so, so much! Umm...I love to sing and write stories. My favorite color is purple, and I hate dresses or anything really girly. I don't like to play much sports except soccor. Umm, what else...?" Kali struggled for more to say. She never considered herself a very interesting person, so she thought she was boring Noelle. "Yea, I'm boring you aren't I? I'm not a very interesting person..." Kali looked down at her plate, oddly embarresed, and scarfed down the rest of her food, so she didn't have to look Noelle in the eye as she replied.

((sorry it's so short)) Chuckling a bit, Noelle thought, Well, she's a normal, self-conscious teenager. "Actually, that sounds very interesting. You love to sing, huh? I couldn't sing to save my life! But I'm a sculptor, though. I sculpt from clay mostly. I could show you how I do it sometime, I need to make a new collection anyway. I left mine behind when I left Tennessee," she replied. Taking a sip of her water, Elle waited for Kali to answer.

***Sorry it's kinda short! :)*** Kali was a little shocked that Elle sculpted. She had never known anyone who could sculpt. "You sculpt? Really? That is so cool! I tried it once when I was in 6th grade, but I was terrible, so I switched to choir, and my love of singing began!" Kali suddenly felt like she was floating in midair. She hadn't been this happy in weeks! I think I'm really gonna like it here! Kali thought to herself gleefully. She couldn't wait to see the rest of the caves. It took all of her strength to hold back from sprinting through the halls.

"Wow, sounds awesome. What grade are you in now? You don't look much older than a ninth grader..." Elle said, studying Kali. She looked like she was about to burst into song right then and there. She looks much better than she did earlier, she actually looks happy, Noelle observed, smiling. Thinking a moment, she said to Kali,"Hey, would you like to help me weed the vegetable gardens after this? It's my next chore and I could teach you the ropes around here at the same time!" Elle winked at Kali with her green eye, smiling again. "I think it'd get lonely just hanging around here by yourself all day anyway."

Kali was mesmerized by Elle's eyes; one green, one brown.Wow! That's so cool! Kali thought to herself silently. She finally managed to rip her mind away from that thought and answer Noelle's answers kindly. "Umm...actually...I'm eighteen..." Kali had always gotten comments on how she looked older than her age. I probably look terrible, though. How long has it been since I've bathed? A week? Two? Ugh! She suddenly felt self-concious about her hygeine. "But, yeah! I would love to help you in the gardens!" She winked at Elle sweetly in return.

Apparently she's noticed my weird eyes, Elle thought placidly. She was used to the staring by now. "Wow, eighteen. I'm sorry, I guessed way off. Giggling as she saw Kali wink back, she stood up and grabbed her food to throw it away. "Well, I guess we ought to get ourselves clean before we garden. I mean, who doesn't clean off so that they can get dirty again?" she joked, rolling her eyes at herself.
Walking over to the garbage bag that was hung on the cavern wall, Elle dumped her leftovers and turned back to Kali. Smiling her quirky smile, she asked "So, shall we?" Waving her hand out for her companion, Elle stepped out into the large hallway.

***Sorry it's so short*** Kali laughed softly at Elle's sense of humor. It definately lightened the mood...as if it could get any lighter! Kali gently threw her food away in the garbage bag, looking around the kitchen one last time, and, taking a deep breath, followed Elle when she waved Kali forward.
