As the bell rang, Dessan was emidiately up and running outside. Of course, soon as he got out there, he smacked into someone that was moving to slow. "Hey, whatch where you're goin- Aha! There you are!" he said, noticing he'd just ran into the back of his sister. "Uh... What are you doing down here, anyways? Isn't your class on the other side of the school?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Besides. I forgot my homework in your car. Y'know, the project for my... Whatever. Just why are you here?"

"Skipping school. Want to join?" Tia responded as she looked her brother up and down. "I know I should be a good role model and go to class," she thought aloud, "but I just can't do it. Tsk, look at his hair." With that she reached up a hand to fix his hair and pressed a hand to his forehead. "I think you feel warm. Let's take you to the nurse and get you checked out." She winked, the light flashing off her glasses.

"Oh, yes, I feel horrible!" Dessan said, prettending to hold in vomit. Then he smiled, and pointed down the hall. "Yea, lets go. I'm not cut out for school today. It's too boring!" he replied, and started shuffling to make it look like he was ill, heading down the hall. He could use something to eat though, right about now. Since they were heading out, maybe they could stop for something. He grinned almost wickedly. <Haha! No school for me!>

"Don't broadcast it," Tia shushed, glancing down the halls. Was it her imagination or had her brother just spoken in thought speech? "Probably my imagination," she scolded herself.

"What?" he questioned, continuing his shuffle until they reached the nurses office. He put on his sickest look he could muster, acting like he'd throw up any second. "C'mon, we gotta play these people!" he whispered, grinning up to his older sister widely.

"Excuse me, nurse?" Tia poked her head into the attendance office. An older woman looked up at her, peering at Tia through reading glasses. "Tiamate, dear, what's wrong?" "My brother, he's not feeling well. I was hoping to check him and myself out so that I could take him home." She smiled innocently. "How sweet, but couldn't one of your...oh my, what am I thinking? Go ahead." "Thanks Miss Simons." She turned to her brother, motioning him in. Tia smiled and started to log in her student I.D. number. "Excused Absence," she muttered, clicking on it.

Dessan grinned. If there was one thing about their parents being gone, it was that Tia could get him out of school easily. "This is awesome! Uh... Remind me to thank you next time I decide to thank you for somethng else, eh?" he said, continuing his sick look just so he wouldn't be questioned. As she finished he started the trudge towards the entrance of school. "We're gettin' some food first! I'm starving. Forgot to eat breakfast!"

"Nice job, worm. All right, where to?" She smiled again, enjoying the moment. For once the anxiety of having "killed" her own parents and the whole "get a job in ninety days or else you lose custody of your brother" things were forgotten, if only for the moment. But the fear of being attacked at any moment still lived in her mind.

"Hmmmm.... Pizza, or burgers. I don't think I need any soda though, I've got enough energy from that sleep during science today. Hey, do you know much about a sophmore named Marco? He seemed odd to me... Like he was keeping some sort of life-or-death secret to me." He scratched his head as he got in the car. "Alright big-butt, you're driving! But that's only becuase I can't yet..."

"No, you're walking, unless you appologize on the spot to me about that big-butt comment." She replied, grinning. She clambered into the big black truck she drove and turned on the car.

"Haha! You're funny, sis, really. If I have to take it back, then you can't call me worm no more. Do I look like a worm to you?!" he said, pretending to mock her madvoice for the last sentance. He squirmed in his seat, anxious to go. "C'mon c'mon, before the priciple finds out!" he said, and grinned. For some reason he'd noticed Tia like to avoid that guy as much as possible.

She nodded, shifting into reverse. With great speed she backed up, nearly hitting a parked car. Annoyed, she slammed down on the breaks and threw the truck into drive, heading into traffic. Twenty minutes, and three near misses later, they pulled into the mall parking lot, which was practically empty. "How's whatever we can scavenge up here sound?" She inquired, turning to her brother. "Hopefully no Yeerks will be here," she added, thinking aloud again.

Dessan blinked, and looked out the window, raising an eyebrow at what she said. "Uh... What's a ... yrek...?" he asked, shrugging. "Have you been watching to much TV lately?" With that he grinned, and exitted the car. "This is fine. But anyways, lets just go." He hard a weird feeling about the Yeerk things she'd talked about, like she was serious that she didn't want any about. Maybe it was just a horror movie or something. Afterall, every morning when he woke up, she was watching TV.

"Yeah, um, it's from Star Trek The Next Gen. It's a freaky eppie that was on this morning, so I just watched it." She unconsiously rubbed her ear. "But it's nothing you need to worry about. Now, let's get a veggie pizza." It was definately not her usual meal. She normally ate pizza with lots of peppirone and any other meat that was available.

Dessan made a 'bleh' noise in his throat. "Ewwwww... No way! Veggies are for hippies and vegetarians. Not to mention rabbits and other animals," he said, keeping his disgusted face twisted oddly. "No, I'm going to just get the normal pepperoni... You sure you're not the one that's sick?" he asked, placing a hand to her forehead and giggling.
