"Hey! Cheer up, Selma. There's no way we could be opposing elements. And I just know that each and every one of us will have an element. You'll see. Maybe," Tali hesitated for a moment. "Maybe we'll even end all the fighting between elements. Wouldn't that be awesome? Think of what could be done if Elementals weren't fighting each other. We could focus more on figuring out stuff. Like how those pad things work in the tower." The teen's eyes fairly glowed with excitement as he spun his dream out for the girls. "Wouldn't that be something?" he sighed.

"That would be amazing if we could stop the fighting," she said, offering Tali a hopeful smile.
"But what pad things are you talking about?" she looked at him confused. "I've never heard of anything like that."

Niki stared at Tali for several moments. Yeah, it was a nice dream. But how could they stop all the fighting? They were just teens. Teens who hadn't even been tested yet. What influence could they have on all the elementals?

Tali flushed slightly. "You know, the flat things next to some of the upper level doors in the tower. Niki and I tried to explore up there one day but we couldn't get in." He started to pace back and forth, a restless energy.

"Oh..." she responded softly. "I guess I didn't know they were there. I don't think I've ever been that far up in the tower." She looked down at her lap again, but watched Tali pacing out of the corner of her eye.

Niki finally tuned back into the conversation at that point. "Yeah, they're like the flat things next to the door to the kitchen. The Matrons can open the doors somehow..."

Tali stopped pacing. "I wonder where everyone else is?" he asked suddenly. "Well, I guess Manelin and the younger ones are in class still... But Parmida should be free. Gah! I want to do something!" He kicked the nearby couch.

Parmida walked in, her nose buried in a book. She didn't even look up as she headed towards the couch. It was only when she slammed into someone and went sprawling did she notice that there were others in the room. She blinked at everyone, and stupidly asked, "What's everyone doing here?" before looking around for her book.

"Do somthing like what?" Selma asked Tali, before giggling as Parmida ran into him.
"You guys ok? That must be a good book Parmida. We're just discussing testing and our futures and such...." she trailed off and shrugged

"And speaking of her..." Niki muttered as Parmida entered, but seemed not to notice them. She looked over at Tali, awaiting his answer to Selma's question. "What could we do?"

Parmida blushed a bright red as she picked up her book. "It's a... ahem, very good book..." She quickly picked herself up, tucked the book away so no one could read the cover, and reached a hand out to Tali to help him to his feet. She looked over at Selma and Niki. "Testing? Futures?" She shuddered. She had been trying to avoid thinking of that. "How so?"

Tali stumbled forward and tripped over the edge of the couch, landing in a strange position with his face nearly kissing the floor. Laughing slightly to cover his embarresment Tali allowed Parmida to help him back up. "I'm fine...Though you should try to make than an attack. Secret Parmida Back Attack or something! Eh, I don't know," he continued in reply to the earlier question, "I just feel... silly, just sitting and waiting to be tested. I mean, we don't even have real classes anymorel. Just books to read..." Experiment 001 shrugged. "The hide and seek game turned out terrible, and I don't really want to do a game anyway. I guess I'm just restless."

"Hmm...." Selma leaned back in the chair, thinking. "Well, we should try and do something we won't be able to do after we've been tested..." she said softly. "I don't know exactly what though..."

Parmida pulled Tali to his feet with a small grunt, and looked around for a place to sit before going over and sitting down. She looked at each of the others before replying to Selma's half-question. "Well, I suppose we could do a few more fights..." she said hesitantly. None of her fights have really gone well thus far, making her wary of actual fighting. Another reason she didn't want to be tested. You had to fight out there and she wasn't very good at it. There were a few other things they could do, but they could do that after being tested. Actually, the matrons would prefer if they did some things after being tested. Drat her body for making her feel oddly about being around boys! She off-handly wondered if she could keep her current book with her after testing, then dismissed it out of mind to think some more about what to do, her face scrunched up in thought. "Too bad we can't leave the tower and explore the other cities before we got tested..." she thought out loud. She rather know what she was getting into before she was thrown into it.

Niki sat down in a chair, sighing. "It would be nice to visit the other cities, but there's no way we could manage that! Sneaking out of the city wall when we were only kids was hard enough..." She thought for a moment. "Besides, we'll get to see one of the cities, at least, after being tested..."
