"Yes that movie. He wanted a partner to go with the GI Joe he picked up from me but I might be able to adjust the guy things for her. She will also need a haircut but not the marine style. He also asked how to make a cardboard tank which is going to be up to him" Sophie replied with a smile. She couldn't do everything for people. "I've heard of that but never actually seen it. You do know things" she added chuckling back. She knew from times she seen the security services around which was occasionally that there was women in the force. They looked to be equipped just like the men too. Eric Reed

"That is a solid story," he said. He slightly shrugged. "Well we are kids but maybe one day soon we can start our own adventures and maybe one day someone will make that into a movie, it would not be the worse idea all the same." He was forever positive. Sophie Chang

"You can start the adventures of the Ashford Orphans with our trip to the slums. That is where the story really began for us and we've done plenty since. The fair was a bit nuts though; I'm not sure an audience would believe that ever happened" she replied chuckling. Then got back to her fried chicken before it got a chance to get cold. "A film about a group of human and oddity children is probally years away. If you can't see an oddity in a fashion doll form what makes you think they're going to get a positive representation in a movie?" she posed. Eric Reed

He had to think about this which was a good thing for him. "I am hoping for progress, that is truly the only answer that I can give. I know it is going to take years and we might even both kill over before we get it but hope. I have hope and can't you spell hope using letters in your name Sophie? So hope, good answer right?"

Hope was powerful. It helped her ancestors back when times were dark and events were way beyond their control. The constant thing was the triads but it looked like that link would end with her father. She had hope that things would be different now. Not just that she would walk again but she’d do something really positive with her life when she grew to adulthood. “This is a world that’s spent thirty years hating my kind just because we exist. It might take that long again to change the mind of a world” Sophie mused and showed what she meant as she stretched out her right hand and formed her fire knife. Then narrowed the flame with concentration to do something very practical. She poked her fried chicken leg with the fireblade to heat it up again. It only took a few seconds but steam was coming from it again. “Doing that in California would have gotten me picked up by the OSE. There’s a long way to go Eric” she added with a shrug of her shoulders. Eric Reed

"Great I'll be an old man whose about to kick the bucket by the time real change comes," he said as he laughed but it was probably true. Still he was not giving up much hope. "Well for now I will simply take it one day at a time and cherish my friends and all of that good stuff, sounds like a plan right?" Sophie Chang

Sophie did give the question some consideration and while the timeframe would be long the fact people from this island could move round the region gave hope. “Isn’t taking things one day at a time the way most people do it?” Sophie posed before she bit into her chicken piece. Then she added after swallowing “the rest of it sounds like a plan. Had I stayed in California I would have followed in my fathers career. Here I have to figure out what I want to do or what opportunities present themselves”. Right now she had no ideas so learning what she could was the only plan. Eric Reed

"Would you have minded following your father's career?" he asked. He only then realized that all the kids new of each other at the orphanage but it was rare that they actually talked about what he was sure important stuff in their life. "Or do you think that you would have found a way to forge your own career?" Sophie Chang

The first question was a poser. It wouldn’t have been an ideal job but it would have been the path laid out for her. Also not so different from her mothers career. The second might be easier to answer. “I’m sure following in his footsteps might not have suited me but I wouldn’t have known any different. You’ve watched movies. Being triad isn’t much different from being part of a mafia family. In fact they’re more dangerous and people you don’t mess with. So it would have been life dealing with the police and rivalry with the yakuza. He died on a mission but don’t know how” Sophie replied. Thinking about her dad did make her sad but she knew she would have a different path in front of her now she hadn’t the triad influences. “I think I will figure that out over time” she added.

"I do like a good movie," he said. "It helps to escape from reality and I am sorry about your dad. I mean my parents, I actually do not know why my parents gave me to Mickie, maybe they are dead now?" He did not mean to sound so hollow about it he truly just did not know. "At least we have our friends." Sophie Chang

Sophie could talk openly about this part of her life because of Dr Shaw and his sessions. "Thank you Eric. I can't understand why your parents would have done that. Then you got separated from her once you got here but she did buy a doll from me". Sophie wasn't sure what she could say about what Mickie told her and even if he knew about Mia but she did give him a hug. "You will have us no matter what. We did become like siblings once we got to know each other" she added trying to encourage him. They both had different futures to what they expected to have but here they could be better ones.

He was for the most part good with this. "Yes," he said as he took a second and then she was hugging him. "Oh no, not a hug," he said. Eric was and would never be a difficult person to get to know but he spoke once they were not hugging. "I have us a small adventure planned, the whole gang I mean." Sophie Chang

"Then I know what you need more off" Sophie teased. Which was more more hugs and then Eric let loose that there was a gang adventure planned. "Oh goody. When and where?" she posed. Being the youngest felt like being the little sister of the group and she had more growing up to do of all of them. In turn she'd be the big sister of the younger children at the orphanage when the gang became adults over time. She felt that was already happening to her and not just to baby Nina. Eric Reed

"Probably a few days from now. I want to see what everyone else is doing so that I do not step on any toes and everything like that first but I do promise a good time." He was mostly confident in that at the moment. Sophie Chang

After lunch she'd be busy with first up being a therapy session with Dr Shaw and then more of the morning things on repeat. So hearing the time frame she smiled and then got back to her lunch. "That sounds good. It will be good to have an adventure before going back to school; its not that far away" she replied. Then once school did get going it would be harder to arrange things that weren't self contained in the orphanage. Eric Reed
