Sophie looked over to Amber who said she wanted potato wedges. So Sophie replied “can I have small fries and gravy? We’ve got diet sodas in the kitchen”. Which meant dinner was sorted out. So she went of to get the bottles and tall glasses from the kitchen as she’d work this off later. She not only was active but also had started wheelchair tennis. An ironic option as tennis was something her aunt hoped she’d pick up. Avery Ashford

"Okay," she said. She hoped that when her own children grew up and got older they'd be good and not slackers. If she ever raised a slacker she'd otherwise lock them up honestly. As the food was ordered she took a few minutes to speak. "Food should arrive in about twenty minutes but a diet soda?" Why. "Do you not like regular soda or even water? Maybe milk since they say milk is better hydration than water now." Sophie Chang

"My aunt only allowed me diet soda if I wanted one. Plus that was all that was in the fridge at the time" Sophie replied hearing the question. So she did like and prefer something fizzy compared to bottled water. Milk was alright but not her first choice. She handed Amber and Avery their bottles and glasses and added "I drink milk now and again but normally I'd make tea". That showed she was more mature as well as being active and not slacking in the slightest. Just running the dolls programme here and the hospital took time and work on her part. Avery Ashford

"Diet soda sounds fine to me" Amber suggested. "Thank you Sophie" she added. Levi seemed happy as she carefully placed him on the chair she was sitting in so she could get her soda. Dinner wouldn't be long by the sound of it. Avery Ashford

She could feel herself splitting and maybe splitting was not the correct word but she could feel the other thoughts and their feelings starting to come up and them wanting their own lives as she listened to them but you see she figured as long as she stayed busy it would settle out fine because she was strong. "Once the food arrives I will need to step away for about three minutes, the two of you will be okay during that time?" Sophie ChangAmber Louise Stephenson

Sophie looked over to Amber and then to Avery. “I’ll be fine over that time” she replied. They didn’t have long to wait either. Then Amber added “same here” before she sipped her soda while keeping a sharp eye on Levi. Avery Ashford

It was a bit unusual for her to see children like this, her kids little, Sophie, and the very little time that she had seen her children as adults but it was okay. They better not stay. "So for this little project that I am doing for Sophie, I am thinking about letting her have the suit for a test run in a couple of weeks, just do not know where we can test it yet but should be somewhere safe and not watched as much."

Sophie took this information on. The timeline was a couple of weeks time in a currently undecided island location. Then she’d get to see the suit properly. “That sounds good to me” she replied. She also had another day long rehab session over the weekend just before Halloween and things were getting into a routine for her. School, her doll ideas, gang outings and rehab.

Now the food arrived and the cardboard bucket could be portioned up. Even Levi and Lyra realised it was time to eat once they seen Sophie selecting a bread crumbed fried chicken leg. So she gathered the twins together to let Avery get dinner too. Hers could wait a while longer. Levi did also want some of his bottle so she fed him. She did have a suggestion as she quietly replied "some where away from the city would work. Is there anywhere like a factory setup, aircraft hangar or even a part of a farm?" Avery Ashford

"Hmm," she said as she listened to the suggestions. "I think that I could find a building," she said. "It might be a little tricky to get to but no one ever goes there." Oh that did remind her that she needed to start looking into the whole farm idea, the more that they could grow their own vegetables the better for all. "I need to invest into a farm," she said. "This is a good idea right?" Sophie ChangAmber Louise Stephenson

The island already had farms but more would be better. Sophie knew about the farmers market as she got out and about; being able to grow more food was always a good idea. “This is an island so more farms are a good idea. It’s good to grow as much as you can yourself” she suggested. Avery also felt she could find an out of the way building which was good for the project. “Oh like a secret base?” she also posed.

“That’s normally what you see in the movies; a military area where things can be tested” she mused. Levi was really enjoying his bottle and Lyra was still content to look round and observe. She could already sense that Lyra could be a scientist in the future. She was always trying different things in her care and she rarely stopped doing things. So handing Lyra a little bear for now her care continued. Avery Ashford

"If somehow more farms are made does that mean that i have to over see it? That makes me feel like a person who would have to get out and communicate with the normal and when I say that I don't mean the humans. I mean the people that live around the island but act like they are too scared to be here. They look like damn homeless savages and no one needs that at all." It was EW to say the least.

Sophie had much less mental scars than other oddities even with going through what she had. She'd thought she might be a normal in the end until her abilities showed so was taking everything in her stride and treating it like an adventure. Her father and aunt hadn't hidden this from her but she knew to not talk about it with others. "Farms tend be privately owned but they do have to defer to some level of authority and safety standards. It dosen't have to be you" she replied to Avery. An ARI employee could do that but even aged ten she showed she understood how local government worked. She also knew she belonged here and had dealt with the usual junior high shit rather than being picked on for being an oddity. It would have been different if she'd still been in California though. "I know OSE is around but why would an oddity still be afraid when they live here?" she posed. Avery Ashford

Amber noticed that Levi was just after a little feed this time and then with a full stomach he started to nod off again. She could feel him already getting heavier but that was babies all over. Both children had been lucky and not been really sick yet but the change in the seasons might trigger that. "Do you mean the oddities who came from all over to be here?" Amber quietly replied as she wanted to coax Levi back to sleep. "They would have been afraid of or angry with normals. Perhaps both before they came here. Its hard to feel safe straightaway as that's what a refugee goes through whatever the reason for them leaving their homeland but once they adapt wouldn't they feel safe then?" Avery Ashford
