Not everyone has forgotten. My girlfriend remembers him. And how is it not my mother's fault? How do you know that?
*Chris narrowed his eyes. Something was off about this kid but he couldn't put his finger on it.*

*Selene stared at Cade as she pierced a slice of melon with her fork*
Can you now? I thought you were new too.

" Look I really don't feel like talking about it. Or do you always ask people about their dead relatives the first time you meet them?"
Finishes his coke and looks at Chris.

Cade Skywalker:
I have a swoop.
*Notices Selene's look of confusion and tries to think of a comparison.*
A Mobquet Flare-S swoop. It's like...one of your motorcykills. Except no wheels and the speed tops out at over six hundred kilometers a hour.
*Cade grins at Selene.*

*Selene can't help but grin back*
My, my... I'm sure you get all the girls too, don't you?
*She slips the slice of melon onto her tongue and into her mouth in an oh-so seductive manner. wink wink *

*Cade grins.*
Not all, Mesh'la. And I think little Dani is calling dibs on you first. She practically screamed it through the Force.

*The Force? What was the Force, Selene asked herself. It must have been what she sensed when Dani's tray spilled over, but why was her body so responsive to it? Selene blushed at the suggestion that Dani could be into her.*
Well, she's pretty cute.. for a freshman. But what exactly is this Force? Is that how you get the girls? *she asked, playing naiive.*

*Cade looks bored and gives the Jedi explanation.*
A living energy field created by all creatures. It surrounds us, penetrates us, binds us...a Jedi's strength flows from the Force...blah, blah, blah.
*Cade holds up a hand and Force lifts a drink from the table and to his lips. He calmly takes a drink and lets the glass settle back down to the table.*
And now...my good looks and roguish charm is how I get the girls.

Cassie hadn't really seen her roommate or Chris all day. She wandered outside and walked around until she reached the lake. The young girl started skipping stones thinking about Achilles, Donna, and of course Wally..
" Brother I'm sorry I failed you.. I guess I gotta lot of growing up to do."
Cassie continued to look at the lake as the sun was beginning to set.

*Chris saw he was getting no answer from this Bart character so he stiffly walked back to his room. He shot a text off to Cassie and collapsing in his bed.*

Interesting. *She said as she finished her late breakfast*
Well, I should be getting to class. Perhaps we can have that joy ride sometime later.
*she grinned at the odd, yet intriguing space boy as she picked up her water bottle and left the table.*

Cade Skywalker:
A promising start.
*A table of jocks hooted at Selene as she walked by. Irritated, Cade used the Force to flip the table up to spill their trays and drinks in their laps. Heh*

*Selene heard the loud crash of the cafeteria table as she walked out and grinned to herself, imagining all the freaked out jocks. Cade's roguish character definitely put him in her favor.*

WHERE IS ACHILLES?
What a silly question! He's at Miss Mona's truckstop diner! Where else would you expect to find history's greatest warrior?
Seated in a comfortable booth, Achilles was surrounded by towers of empty plates and glasses. Having gone through a ritual 'cleansing," Achilles's appetite was far more awakened than the norm and he alone kept the kitchen staff and the kind waitress busy satisfying his hunger pangs.
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Pot roast. Shepards pie. Flame broiled cheese burgers and French fries. Veggie lasagna. Chili. Roast turkey. Multiple glasses of soda, milk, milkshakes... all of this and more was consumed by the hungry young man, stupifying even the biggest of the truck drivers, having never seen anything like it before.
"All done hon?" Maggie the waitress asked as she approached the table and Achilles smiled and nodded, his mouth full of a roast beef sandwich. She shook her head, amazed, and pulled the check from her pad and handed it over to him.
Achilles dug into his change pouch and handed her... a Greek medallion coin. Okay so the one thing he forgot to do was get his money exchanged. The old waitress had never seen such a coin, and had she before she would realize that she was holding a single coin worth more than the diner itself many times over.
However she gave it the odd eye and Achilles looked bewildered.
He asked, "Is that not enough?"
Maggie sighed and looked over her glasses at him...
...
Achilles stood in the kitchen, a dirty white apron tied around his waist and up to his elbows in soapy dish water, scrubbing away at the mounds of dishes, pots and pans.
.....
It was past dusk when he finished, and he sat outside of the diner, writing a note on a napkin with a borrowed (stolen) ink pen. A marvelous thing he thought quietly. He then took a small piece of string and looked up, and a gentle whistle brought the gorgeous snow-white owl down to him. He gently tied the piece of scrap paper to the owl's leg, then held it up and it took flight again into the night.
Smiling, Achilles stood up and hefted his bag over his shoulder and started to walk towards the lights of the small town far off in the distance.

Megan Morse was feeling sad. For the last couple days, she had been feeling a malaise that she couldn't really place...it was distracting her from her studies and keeping her from enjoying her afterschool activities.
Her lack of paying attention had finally caught the eye of Professor Richards, who was filling in as the Intro to Chemistry teacher while Mister Allen was on leave. He called Megan to his desk after class ended.
"Megan, I've noticed that your attention has been drifting during the lecture. Personally, I've always thought discussions of the noble gasses to be one of the most fascinating lectures a professor can give. Is something wrong?"
Megan sighed.
"I do not know, sir. I just feel like...there is something that I needed to do, something I needed to do very badly, and I have forgotten what it was!"
The professor cocked an eyebrow.
"Fascinating, I have heard the exact same thing from several students over the last two days. Douglas Ramsey, Leslie Willis and Julian Keller noted similar malaise."
Megan frowned.
"I wish I could explain it. It is like there is just this gaping hole in my...mind or something, I..."
Megan's shoulders slumped, and Professor Richards put a comforting hand there.
It was at that moment that Megan's head shot up, and her eyes turned red.
"CONTACT."
A spark jumped from Megan into Professor Richards. For a brief moment, his eyes flashed red...and then both of them returned to normal. Megan stood up.
"Gee, talking about this has made me feel better. Thanks, Professor Richards!"
Megan smiled and skipped out of the classroom. Professor Richards stayed, staring off into the distance...
All across campus, the former Peeps each had 'CONTACT' with a professor...and something dark moved out of the student population into the adult one...
