Real food at last....Open....

[Haley Jackson]

When Haley and Kali walked into the dinning hall she couldn't believe it,they actually had a kitchen in a cave.But that's not what she noticed the most.There where so many people,of coarse this made her overjoyed,but at the same time it intimidated her greatly.She had never been the most outgoing person,she tended to stay away from big gropes of people,not because she didn't want to be around people,not at all,but because she never knew what to say to people.

But she just kept remembering what Kali had said about having friends.But it didn't help that when they walked in some of the people stared at her.So to try and ignore that fact she just looked at the floor as she walked.And she felt better with Kali there by her."This is amazing"she said quietly to Kali"and I had no ideal that there where still so many people alive"She took one more quick glance around the room at the people,then looked back down.

But as soon as she could smell the food she couldn't even remember what she was worried about.She was so hungry,she hadn't eaten anything thing since god knows when in the dessert.Her stomach growled embarrassingly loud.Now there was a great first impression.

[Kali]

Kali looked around once her and Haley entered the Dining Hall. It looked like hey were having spaghetti and garlic bread. Kali walked to the end of the line, with Haley trailing behind, when Haley whispered softly, "This is amazing! And I had no ideal that there where still so many people alive!' Kali giggled quietly, and replied, "Yeah, I know, right? It really is amazing!"

Kali walked behind he outstretched line in front of her, very slowly. She heard Haley's stomach growl loudly and tried to fasten her pace. When it was her turn to get her food, she grabbed two plates; one for her, and one for Haley. She really hoped Haley liked spaghetti. Kali didn't want Haley to eat something she didn't like, though by the way her stomach was growling, she would probably eat a rock if it would take away the hunger. As Kali piled some spaghetti on both of their plates, she asked Haley gently, "So, tell me something about yourself." Kali walked to an isolated section of the counter so that Kali and Haley could talk and eat in peace. though, she wouldn't mind a little more company...

[Haley Jackson]

When Kali handed her the spaghetti she just about shoved it all down in one bit,but she just met Kali and didn't want to gross her out to much,so she settled for taking very large bits instead.Around a mouthful of food she answered Kali's question,"well there's not much to tell but I guess I could tell you about what I used to do before all this happened"Hayley thought through her memories to try and find the best ones and shoved another bit of spaghetti in her mouth,"well I used to live with my cousin Conner,he was the best,we used to jam out on our guitars together at night after we got back from our jobs,it was great.

Haley shoved more of her spaghetti in."But he was the best,you would've liked him.But he ran off with some girl though so I had to find a new roommate,so I fond Tarah.She was great too but no Conner and she couldn't play guitar,and she didn't want to learn so we didn't have much in common.But she was nice,I think she's dead now,well she has a soul in her so I think that counts as dead,but its okay cause I didn't get to know her to well,well its not okay,you know what I mean."She let out a small laugh at the irony,"Tarah was kinda crazy or so we thought she always talked about souls coming,who knows how she knew,kinda creepy I guess"she shoved the last of her spaghetti in.

[Kali]

Kali ate silently while Haley told her about her roommates. "Wow! So you play the guitar? That is so cool! I always wanted to learn, but never had the time. I sing and play drums! " Kali replied to Haley, "Connor does sound pretty cool." Kali could tell Haley was just about starving. Kali shoved another mouthful of spaghetti into her mouth before continuing.

"So, I guess I'll tell you about my life! Um...I lived in Texas with my family-mom, dad, brother, and sister-and just graduated. I got a scholarship to University of Texas with my best friend Karina. We were goin to live together. You would've loved her. She played guitar as well! We had a band in middle school, but that didn't go so great!" Kali said to Haley and finished her last bite of spaghetti. "Karina had also told me about the souls..." Kali looked down and sighed heavily. "I should've listened...but...I didn't..." She looked up and continued, "But it's over now. There's nothing I can do." Kali smiled warily at Haley and tried to look like she was being strong, but I doubt she was fooling Haley...she didn't look too convincing.

"Geez...anywhoo, so tell me waht kind of music you liked to play the most with Connor? Oh, and how old are you?" Kali asked Haley as she grabbed both of their plates and put them into the garbage bag hanging on the wall and joined Haley at their spot on the counter again.

[Haley Jackson]

Haley could tell that Kali was still in a lot of pain from her loss,though she could also tell that all she wanted to do was forget about it.Haley was beginning to wounder if Kali blamed herself for what had happened to Karina,but Haley knew better then to ask her.She didn't exactly know how she could help Kali,but she was going to try her hardest to help her at some point.

"Well"she began to answer Kali's questions,"I'm 18 to answer your first question,and for the second,we wrote a lot of stuff mostly.But sometimes we would play stuff like Chiodos or even the Beatles sometimes.But we usually just would mess with our guitars.Sometimes it would turn out really good and sometimes it would sound miserable."She laughed to herself thinking about some of the stuff they came up with.Thinking of Connor made her wonder where he was she never knew if he had lived through this or not.She quickly shoved that thought to the back of her mind.

"So you where in a band,that's really cool.It's to bad it didn't pick up and get big."She didn't know what to say really after they were talking about people they knew that died,but she was gonna try."Yeah I tried the drums once and I was awful,it was really bad."She laughed just thinking about it,and also at how bad at small talk she was,she never was good at talking to people,she just hoped she wasn't boring Kali to much."So how old did you say you where?"She asked trying to keep up this horrible small talk of hers.

[Kali]

Kali listened intently to Haley. "You wrote music, too?" Kali was baffled. She had only know one person who could write anything worth listening to...her sister. "That's amazing! I never could write songs. I could write poems, and stories, but never songs..." Kali stared into space, pondering why this was, but quickly brought herself back to Earth.

"Yeah, drums was the only thing I could play. Well, I could play the guitar......on Guitar Hero!" Kali threw her head back and laughed lightly. "And the band was pretty much a joke. Like I said, we were only in middle school...7th grade." Kali began to reminisce on old memories. Like the song her and Karina had come up with. I hope you can come over and spend the night. Because if you can't, It's just not right. And I will beat your mom up with all my might. Because I want you to spend the night! they had thought that was the best song i the world! Kali chuckled loudly.

Kali felt like she was leaving Haley out, so she snapped out of her little world, and answered Haley's last question, "I'm actually 18 as well! It' so weird how much we have in common!" Kali felt like her and Haley were becoming great friends. "So, what do you want to do? I can take you to the bathing rooms, or we could find Noelle and ask her to show us how to do our chores?"

[Haley Jackson]

"You played guitar hero? I used to play that a ton,like I said Tarah didn't like guitar but she did like guitar hero,I don't know how that works out though."Haley could tell that Kali was probably thinking about some far off place she used to know.That made Haley remember what Kali had said before about everybody having gone through this kind of stuff,and it was just now that she realized what that also meant.They all had people they loved that had died.

And Haley had always thought about how bad it was that she didn't know what had happened to Connor,when the truth was that she was lucky to have that amount of hope that he was alive,when people like Kali had no hope at all."I'm actually 18 as well!" Kali said interrupting Haley's thoughts."Wow that is weird"she said.It was starting to freak Haley out just a bit,at all the similarities that they shard.But that was a good thing in so many ways because if they had so much in common then that meant that there was a good chance that they would be good friends,and it already seemed like they were good friends to Haley at least.

answering Kali's other questions Haley said "yeah I would love to meet Noelle"then as Haley thought about what she had asked her it downed on her"there's chores here?"Haley hadn't thought about the fact that they would have to keep up with stuff even in a cave.

[Kali]

"Oh yeah! I love Guitar Hero! I was a pro at level Easy!" Kali laughed really loud, and suddenly realized that she had, once many heads turned to stare her down. "I'm not the best at the four-or-five finger part. Or when you have to use the slider bar on the bottom part to slide..." All Kali could think about was the times her and her sister had stayed up until thw wee hours of the night trying to beat the next song.

Kali chuckled softly, when Haley asked about chores. "My thoughts exacly! So, apparently, our chores are pretty simple. I don't know exacly they are, though. But, this system is kinda like the souls'-pardon the comparison- where we all do something to help, and we don't have to pay for anything, you know?" Kali watched Haley's expression carefully, debating whether to go on or mot. She eventually decided it was safe to continue, so she said casually, "Okay, then. Are you ready?"
