It was quite the shock when her mother told her she was transferring to a school out of state and for kids like her with abilities and it was just yesterday this was done. She knows why her mother held off telling her and it was because she would have protested like nothing else. Just a few weeks from the close of the current school year and now she was in a new school. If they hold her back because of a few weeks from her mothers doing, she would lose it and not stand for it.

Ivy was now wondering around the massive campus and she had not had anything to eat yet and was hungry, time to find the cafe or somewhere to get a bite to eat. Thankfully it was a school day for the other students and there was a number of them sitting and chatting while eating or studying in the cafe. Todays menu: Soup, choice of sandwich, bar salad with a choice of bagged chips and choice of fountain soda, water, tea or milk. Grabbing a tray and silver wear she got into line with the others, some students said 'Hello' and asked if she was new and all the other stuff they talk about in a cafe line including talking about a ballet class? Here? Ballet? That was something Ivy would have to check out as she would love to take such a class.

Chicken soup, yes please! Roast beef with lettuce and tomatoe with american cheese sandwich, from the salad bar - lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, diced ham, shredded cheese, cucumber and a pickle topped with a light ranch dressing. She would pick a bag of ruffles but planned on saving them for later. A glass of ice water and another of tea.

Ivy should have been more careful as she turned she crashed into a tall boy, the tray she was holding flipping and all the contents on to her. Before Ivy could even react, she was on the floor . . . in her mermaid form! All eyes were now on her! laughs and woo's erupted. Ivy turned to view the tall kid who reminded her of a large breed puppy dog, long and lacky. "Don't just stand there!" she yelled "Pick me up and bring out of here!"

[attr="class","edreynolds"]Washington had been predictably overcast for the whole time Ed had been here. When he’d first arrived he’d been almost excited by the prospect of heading stateside, the difficulty of being separated from his family not really realised or felt yet, but during his first week staying at their family (capital F) friend’s house it had rained every single day. Once he’d been enrolled at the Evergreen Metahuman Boarding Academy, Ed had been sent off immediately to his new home and since then it had been intermittently cloudy and, yes, rainy. He’d wondered, rather naively, if March would signal the beginning of spring and a burst of sunshine but, so far, no cigar.

The school itself was impressive, a sprawling modern campus amidst miles of trees that injected a quiet peace into the atmosphere. In all honesty, he was still trying to get to grips with the entire situation - it hadn’t quite sunk in yet that he was really attending an American boarding school for metahuman kids. Even now, over a year after the Event, Ed still found himself startled when people boldly and openly used their powers in public.

Perhaps Ed could be forgiven for being a little distracted, but he was having a tricky time actually caring about the academic side of his new life. He was attending his lessons, of course, as it was kind of hard to bunk off when you lived five minutes away in the boarding house, but he wasn’t really doing anything besides going through the motions. He was more concerned about settling in with his peers than wrapping his head around trigonometry.

So it was really quite unfortunate for him that, as he was making his way to grab some lunch, he’d not managed to pay attention to the girl who suddenly appeared in his path, full tray in hand.

Everyone in the vicinity was staring - the loud tell-tale crash of a fully-loaded lunch tray drawing even the most apathetic on-looker’s eye - and a thousand apologies came tumbling through Ed’s mouth at once that ended up just a garbled mess of syllables.

It was at this point that he noticed the girl was still on the ground - and then he realised why.

“Jesus Christ!” he gasped. So mermaids were real now?

She was yelling at him now, which was fair enough, he supposed. He was indeed just standing there rather uselessly. “Isn’t that thing sort of heavy?” he asked warily, gesturing to the tail. However, the look in her eyes suggested he ought to do what she said if he knew what was best for him so, with a sigh, Ed bent down and hauled her upright - floating in the air to keep her tail from dragging.

“I really am sorry about this,” he murmured, turning red. “I just didn’t see you.”

Doing his best to ignore all the staring, Ed did as he was told and carried her out of the room and out in the corridor. His arms were starting to ache. “So… where to?” Ed wasn’t exactly sure what to do with a mermaid. Dump her in the lake? Throw her in the tumble dryer??

This was not a great way to make friends.

This was not the way Ivy wanted to start in a new school, she was sure there be some kind of pet name going around soon that she would not be able to change. Great, just great. Thanks mom for sending me here, this isn't what I wanted. Geez.

For a tall and lanky looking lad, this kid could lift, even though she or her tail as his pointed out, didnt weight to much. She wrapped her arms around his neck, being in her mermaid form it make it a little difficult to breathe because her gills had opened up after getting wet. Ivy did not complain about that and when he stopped in the corridor. She asked him to bring her to an empty room so she could dry off.

Once they found a suitable room, Ed had placed her on the ground. Ivy told him thank you and continued "No, I am the one that is sorry, it was not your fault but mine." Ivy looked down and could feel her body drying, looking at Ed "Please can you find me a towel or something to cover up with?"

While he was off looking for a cover for her, she crawled to the wall and leaned up against it. She rubbed her sides trying to dry that area so she could breathe better. She was also lost in thought, this was the first time that she had been out and had her power activate in front of people she did not know. She was humiliated and more then embarrassed by the whole scene.

When Ed returned, she again thanked him and again apologized for making a scene.
"I'm so sorry, it is truly all my fault, I do not know know what I was thinking not being more careful." Ivy said to Ed. Feeling better and feeling her body drying. Ivy needed to repair this.

"Can we start over? Right now?" Ivy stated as she held out her hand to him "Hi, I'm Ivy, it's so nice to meet you." there was a slight blush to her face as she said that to Ed.

[attr="class","edreynolds"]Okay. Okay. It was only a few steps (or… a short period of hovering, to be precise) to the nearest classroom door and luckily that was ajar, so Ed could rush the two of them quickly inside and dump her somewhat clumsily onto the ground. Mermaid successfully deposited onto the floor, Ed slowly descended back to his feet. He was still getting used to his power and, while it was definitely fun to defy gravity, it made him feel a little unsteady to go without touching the floor for too long.

She insisted it wasn’t his fault. “Look, I’ll take half the blame, if that makes you feel any better,” he said with a cheeky grin. “But you can’t have all of it. And yeah, yeah – I’ll be back in a bit.”

He closed the door behind him and ventured off in search of a towel. He had his own but the girl probably wasn’t keen on sharing his – probably still damp – personal towel, so it was time to test his memory and see if he could find the communal laundry cupboard. It was attached to the boarding house, which luckily wasn’t too far. Still, to speed up his trip, Ed’s feet left the ground once more as he flew there and back, grabbing the first big towel on the pile. It seemed suitably big and fluffy – EMBA didn’t cheap out, apparently.

“Hope this’ll be alright,” he announced as he re-entered the room, tossing the towel in her direction. “It’s just one of the general EMBA towels. It’s clean,” he clarified.

Ivy was still apologising for their collision and Ed was beginning to feel a little awkward, but then she suddenly switched course and held out her hand. The way she spoke (‘it’s so nice to meet you’) reminded Ed of the false cheery sales-talk of American store-greeters, but she seemed genuine enough. Ed was feeling decidedly British in this moment.

“Oh, I’m Ed,” he grabbed her hand and gave it a shake. “So does this happen a lot? Spontaneously growing a fish tail in the middle of the canteen?”

He couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed like a pretty inconvenient power.

Ed wanted to take half of the blame of the accident in the cafe. Ivy accepted. Even though she thought she should be for the full blame for that situation. This wasn't how Ivy had imagined starting at a new school.

He came back with a towel, it wasn't that big but would have to do. Thanking him for the towel she placed it over her waist. She hoped that her body would dry faster, it wasn't that much water that hit her after all.

Ed said his name, shook her hand and asked if this kind of thing happened alot? he was laughing.
Great, just great she thought.

Ivy adjusted her position as her body dried more and more. She looked at him and told him "No" an continued "I hope this doesn't become a habit." She poked the joke back at him. "Actually, this is the first time other then family has seen me like this." Ivy gestured with her hand over he body.

"It was my mother's idea to send me here because of that" Ivy pointing to the cafe "happening."
She sighed loudly "It was not my choice on weather or not to come here." Ivy could feel her legs now and looked down to see them almost done with their change, there was relief in site and then she could get back to here room for another pair of jeans.

With that thought of her room, it was in the dorms and walking there in only a towel, ugg. "Would you mind, please walk with me to my room? or could you find me some pants?" Ivy asked him polity.

[attr="class","edreynolds"]He grinned. “Not a particularly helpful habit, is it? I take it you can’t just wriggle your way out of the room when it happens.” Ed made his best attempt at some wiggling motions, looking like a rather clumsy and uncoordinated worm trying to stand upright, to demonstrate. Then he burst into laughter, having managed to successfully crack himself up with his own ridiculousness. Whether Ivy was amused or not herself remained to be seen.

“Oh, well… now half the bloody school’s seen you. Definitely one way to make a name for yourself.” Ed poked his tongue out a little in jest. “How come no one else has ever seen you as the Little Mermaid? You embarrassed by it?”

He felt a little bad for joking around – not that he could particularly help it – once she went on to explain how she had come to attend EMBA. Their situations weren’t exactly the same but he could definitely relate to not being here by any kind of personal choice. His parents had cried a lot when he’d left for the airport – he wondered if Ivy’s mother had done the same, or if she’d actually been happy to rid herself of the burden of a meta child.

“That sounds pretty rubbish,” he eventually offered, by way of sympathy. “Sorry. Maybe- hopefully you’ll end up liking it here, even if it wasn’t what you thought you wanted.”

He hoped the same for himself.

Ivy looked down and, sure enough, the towel seemed to have worked its magic and the massive tail had turned back into normal human legs. Well, that was a relief. They seemed to be rather, er, naked… but at least they existed. Ed did his best to avert his eyes even though she had the towel to cover up with.

“Okay, this might sound weird but, um, what happened to your trousers?”

He didn’t know what he expected to have happened to them – conveniently disappear into a pocket dimension while she was transformed, maybe? Clearly they hadn’t survived the shift from leg to scales.

“Course I can, least I can do,” he said, rubbing his neck. “At least if you’re next to me you might look less weird by comparison. I can walk like this if it helps.”

Ed began to wriggle like a motor-challenged worm once more.

Ed was pointing out the inconvenience of such an ability and that she just couldn't wiggle her way out? He would go on to give his impression of a worm. Ivy knew he was joking. "I'm not a worm, silly!"

His next questions were more personal about why others never seen her as 'the little mermaid' and if she was embarrassed by it. She would go on to explain how she does contortionist proformances and how she is frequently on TV and all. Embarrassed? Well, now she was as she wasn't prepared to have her ability play out in the cafe of all places.

He said it was rubbish when she told hime about how her mom sent her here, he said sorry. "You don't have to be sorry, I do hope things will get better here and maybe they could show me a trick or two to avoid that kind of scene in the future. She shrugged as she adjusted the towel around her midsection, now that she had a pair of legs again, other then some slight skin changes she was back to her human form.

Ed asked about where were her pants were, he said trousers. Ivy liked the lads english slang and accent. She laughed. "Like I said your silly, they usually rip off, I bet they are in the cafe trash can by now, yes that part is always embarrassing!" Ivy told him. "Sadly, its not like on TV where one can transform fully dressed and all." she poked a bit of fun about it.

She was thankful that he would walk her back to her room and he said he could even walk like 'this' making that worm like motion. "Hey, I told you, I am not a worm, you silly boy!" Ivy smiled and laughed as she got up carefully, holding the towel in place about her waist.

"So...." Ivy started to ask "What can you do? since you know what I am, who are you? I know your an english lad or at least sound like one but what is it that you can do? Your power I mean" Ivy asked him without making any gestures, of course that was hard to do anyway since her hands were hold a towel in place so her bare butt was not blinding peoples eyes out of their skulls. She could just smile at him.

[attr="class","edreynolds"]“Oh, you’re not?” Ed pretended to look confused for a moment. “Right, gotcha, the fish tail kind of gives it away, doesn’t it.” Then he grinned, wriggling one last time for good measure.

He was surprised to hear that she was apparently some kind of celebrity in this country – certainly famous enough to have been on TV. Ed had never been on television, but his house had once been in the background of an episode of Crimewatch which had been his claim to fame for about three days back in Year 7. Somehow he didn’t think this fun fact would thrill his new schoolmates.

Instead he simply said, “That sounds mental. Surely a contortionist mermaid would just be even cooler?”

Ed nodded thoughtfully as Ivy alluded to how the school could help them with their powers. His own were very new to him, and he had been maybe a little too distracted by his sudden life upheaval to really focus on figuring them out, but maybe she was right and they would have staff to train them in their individual abilities. It would definitely be handy for Ivy if she could prevent another incident like this one occurring. Especially if it destroyed her trousers every time.

She laughed at his question about her trousers’ whereabouts but thankfully didn’t seem offended. He joined the laughter. It was funny how even with all the ways metahuman abilities pushed the boundaries of known science, there were still some aspects exclusive to the TV screen. “At least the top half doesn’t change,” he offered. Losing an entire outfit with each splash of water would be a nightmare.

As they walked to the boarding house, Ivy began asking questions about his power. He guessed she might have been too distracted by her own predicament to notice his ability and so, raising an eyebrow, Ed began to float slowly up into the air as a demonstration.

“I’m still working it out, but this seems to be mostly what I can do.” He rose a little higher, posing like Superman for a moment before collapsing into laughter and returning back to the ground.

He’d been briefly shocked that Ivy had noticed his nationality before he remembered that accents were a thing. “And yeah, I’m from England. Just moved to America a couple of weeks ago. It seems… nice, so far.” Ed avoided mentioning the Washington weather. “I take it you’re not exactly local either?”

The school was pretty much in the middle of nowhere; it would have to be a miracle for someone to actually consider it particularly local. Still, he was interested to hear which part of the USA Ivy was from. It was still such a very big and very new place to him.

Humm a mermaid contortionist, sound good? No, not really. Ivy would go on to explain to Ed, inside her head she wanted to call him Edwardo from some reason-maybe it was the english lads accent. Anyway she went on to say that the mermaid tail is one massive muscle, great for fast swimming but not good for flexibility, not the kind of flexibility that one needed for a contortionist act anyway.

Ed said it was a good thing the top stays on. Ivy agreed with that, in the wild though, mermaids didn't wear clothes, so lucky for her there was bikini tops or modified t-shirts that she likes to wear over the bikini top, she cut them in half so that her gills were free of any clothes.

When Ivy had asked about Ed's own power, she saw him slowly floating up in the air. "AW, cool you can fly! Awesome!" she blurted out with surprise. Ed started to laugh and it made Ivy laugh with him. Ed was surely fun to be with, between his accent, his imitations of worms and that ability? How cool is that?!!

Ed talked abit of his nationality and questioned that she herself was not from the area either. "No, Im not from this area, it's to wet up this way, at least from what I have seen so far." She looked at the towel to hint at the 'shower' she took in the cafe. She let out a little giggle about the whole cafe incident, even though it was the most embarrassing to happen to her!

"I'm from Cypress, California. It's nice there, alot of sun" She smiled at Ed as they approached the dorm. "What to come see my room?" She kinda gestured with her elbow as her hands were still holding the towel over her mid section.

[attr="class","edreynolds"]He listened with interest as she explained the mechanics of her tail. “I see – can you like, breathe underwater too? If I were you I’d just be swimming in the sea as much as possible.”

Then again, that was like saying that if somebody had Ed’s powers then they’d always be flying around in the sky. Part of the reason why he wasn’t doing so was because he hadn’t had much chance to test his abilities out and he didn’t want to end up tumbling to the ground because he’d overestimated himself. Another part was the irrational, lingering sense that he needed to keep his ability a secret. It was hard to shake the influence of the Families.

Still, he’d been getting more confident about using his ability in a smaller way, especially here at this school surrounded by other metahumans. Floating in corridors was definitely manageable.

“I can fly! And I think other stuff but, like I said, still working it out.”

So it wasn’t just him; Ivy had also noticed Washington’s insistence on being constantly overcast and more than a little rainy. She glanced down at her towel and Ed laughed at the link. She wasn’t even safe indoors here! What a terrible place to be if a drop of water turned you into a mermaid – she probably needed to cover up very securely if she ever wanted to go outside.

“California, wow!” Ed’s head was instantly filled with pictures of surfer dudes and movie stars. He had very little frame of reference when it came to the state, but he was vaguely convinced that Hollywood was somewhere within it. Right? “You must miss it. The sun, I mean.” He grinned. “I suppose I can’t miss what I never really had.”

It was an exaggeration – his corner of England experienced plenty of sunshine – but he played into the stereotype regardless.

“Well, sure, if you don’t mind.” He felt a little awkward. “I’ll uh, wait outside for you to… y’know.” He gestured towards the towel, painfully aware of the situation. “Let me know when it’s safe to come in,” Ed added with a chuckle.

[newclass=.edreynolds]font:11px;color:#e4e4e4;[/newclass][newclass=.edreynolds b]color:#EA960C;[/newclass]

Ivy gave a smile to his question about weather or not she could breathe under water. "Yes, yes I can, I have gills too" Ivy would go on to explain "Over my ribs they develop, they do not do very well on land, it is harder to breathe on land with them." There was a pause then she continued. "I do love the water and swimming, it is alot of fun to, but it's not my life and I am still first human and a student still, untill there is a school of mermaids, I'd have to be content with living between land and the water." Ivy told him.

He exclaimed he could fly, he was excited too. Ivy thought it could be cool to be able to fly like Ed but she also knew that every ability or power has a learning curve and a downside. No matter what, the "event" changed her into what she was now. Sure she could cry and pout able it to no end but where is that going to get you? No where. Yeah, she did hide her meta status from the public but she was already a public figure one with followers that did not like change. Maybe one day, just not now. Ivy still didn't know the full extent of her ability, she was learning something new each change, each experience gave her new information on this new life of hers. Yes, it can be very inconvenient at times, like with the situation in the cafe. What if Ed did not help here? How would she handle that? No, she did not have all the answers but she would be d*mmed if she let such an incident sidetrack her life, a life mermaid or not, one worth living to it's fullest never less.

California! Yeah, Ivy grew up there and Washington was like so different and wet! However, changes in life come and go and you just had to go with the flow and continue to live for the better of things.
However she couldn't know who England was because she had never been, she had seem pictures and heard stories about, maybe one day she could visit?

Ed was a gentleman and said he would wait out side the dorm for her until she was more presentable and not having to hold a towel over her mid-section. Once dressed in a clean pair of jeans, she called to Ed to come back into the room and Ivy asked him if wanted to go explore the campus more and she was still hungry since she had ended up wearing her meal instead of eating it.

[attr="class","edreynolds"]So not only could she swim super-fast, but she could also breathe underwater. What a fun power! Ed had to remind himself of his own to not feel too jealous. “You know what, I’m not surprised they struggle out of the water, somehow,” he chuckled, amused by the obviousness of the comment.

“Good luck finding another mermaid,” he added at her idea of a mermaid school. The number of people with powers in the world may have increased significantly, but it was still a tiny number compared to the general population. The odds of somebody having the same power set as Ivy felt extremely remote, though he wouldn’t rule out the chance of meeting people who could do maybe half as much as she could. “So you still go in the water sometimes, then?”

There was a lake here after all, maybe she snuck into it on the weekends.

Ed waited patiently outside her room. It wasn’t too far from his own – there wasn’t exactly an abundance of students here, although certainly more than he’d expected. Enough that most people had roommates even though the spare bed in his own room remained empty for the moment.

Ivy eventually re-appeared, a fresh pair of jeans on, and called him in, asking him if he wanted to go and explore the campus. She also mentioned her hunger, which Ed could definitely agree with. He’d been on his way to acquire his food himself.

“Nice room, you guys get a better view than me,” he commented, looking out over the lake. “Who do you share with?” It seemed like the other side of the room was occupied – maybe he knew her.

“And yeah I’m starving, definitely need to go back to the canteen before it shuts. I don’t think they’ll be too bothered about re-doing your food; it’s not your fault it went everywhere,” Ed added, laughing. “And explore? I’ve got science after lunch but sure, we can have a look around. Maybe outside if the rain holds off?”

It was likely a dangerous game to play for Ivy, he supposed, but it didn’t seem about to tip it down. Famous last words, most likely.

Laughing at her comment about struggling to breathe with gills, he commented that he wasn't surprised by them(mermaids) struggling out of the water. He also said good luck finding another mermaid, when she had mentioned jokingly that she would start a school for them if there was more of her kind around.

He asked if she still went into the water sometimes, and Ivy told him "Of course I go in the water, I still take a bath and such, and if I do not get a good soak, my skin gets dried out and brittle. Trust me its not fun! If I can find a spot where I could swim here, I will be so very happy about it!" she said with a smile to Ed.

Ed came back into the room once Ivy was finished dressing, he would say it was a nice room with a better room and Ivy thanked him for the nice comment. Ed asked about her room mate. "I do not know yet. I just got here today and I haven't even met her yet. Mom said it was another female, but we don't know who yet. I just hope she is nice and easy to get along with." Ivy told Ed.

Ed suggested going back to the cafe, he was sure they would remake her meal for her. Ivy paused and shrugged "Sure, let's go" Ivy added "Please you carry the drinks." she said with a smile and a wink turning to start walking to the cafe. "Yes, I would love to explore after getting some food in my stomach."

On the way Ivy asked him about how his power surfaced and she went on to share her own story, luckily for her she was home when it happened but it was very scary for a few hours on her first change.

[attr="class","edreynolds"]“Oh, obviously.” Ed smacked his palm against his forehead. “Sorry for implying you don’t wash.” Definitely not the best thing to say to somebody you just met. “And maybe you should have a look at that lake? I don’t know what it’s like but you can see it out the window and it looks decent enough to swim around. Stretch your… er… legs?”

Smooth.

“You know what I mean.”

Ed had been trying to conceal the fact that he was a massive weirdo from his new fellow students. Unfortunately, he was obviously not trying very hard and he doubted Ivy found him very cool. On the other hand, she had invited him to hang out with her, so he obviously hadn’t messed up too horribly just yet. Always time, he supposed.

He smiled at her hopes for a nice roommate. “I’m sure she’ll be great, I haven’t met anyone I haven’t liked yet. And you literally only just moved in today?” Ed looked slightly horrified. “I am even more sorry for spilling your drink all over you, what a rough start! I don’t think anyone will judge you for it, though,” he added. “I doubt there’s many people here in great control of their powers. That’s why most of us are here, yeah?” Not him, but that didn’t need mentioning.

The wink at her request for him to carry the drinks caused him to laugh again. “Of course, clearly you can’t be trusted.”

As they walked to the canteen, Ivy started talking about their power manifestation stories. For people whose powers arose from post-Event activation, it was obviously much more of a shocking turn of events. For Ed, he had always expected it. In the lead-up to their development, he had been scared of it; the political climate in Britain was only getting frostier. He couldn’t say either of those things if he wanted to avoid raising any suspicion. The less he blurted about his background the more likely he wouldn’t get shipped back.

“Well, I felt this random pushing sensation at the bottom of my feet when I was out walking the dog and I just kind of… knew what it was, straight away, but I waited until I got home before I tried it out. I ended up slamming my head into the ceiling.” Ed winced at the memory. “I wasn’t sure how to turn it off and the dog was going mental. Pretty funny now I look back at it.”

The excitement had been eclipsed pretty quickly by his parents’ concern, but he still had to laugh at the memory. What else could he do?

“I hope they have some pizza left. I really fancy some pepperoni and they did this nice one last night, just the thinnest base drenched in cheese. It’s got to be my favourite food, after a good fry-up, maybe.” Except he wasn’t going to find one of those in here, he thought grumpily to himself, because the canteen bacon sucked.

"Yeah, I really do hope we get along, I can't imagine sharing space with someone I do not get along with, you know what I mean?" Ivy told Ed as they made their way to the cafe to try to have some lunch, hopefully this time the food will make into her tummy and not all over her.

Ed was reassuring her that most kids come here to learn to control their power and when she had asked for him to carry this drinks this time, he joked back that surly she could not be trusted with carrying the drinks clearly.

Ed has shared his 'coming out' story and when he said he hit his head on the ceiling, Ivy laughed.
"To bad we just can't take a pin and pop you if you float to far up" Ivy joked "Mayne we will have to tie you down if it gets to windy. She playful stuck out her tongue at him.

Reaching the cafe Ivy looked around to see if anyone was watching her or maybe even trying to snap a photo or two, but she didn't see any of that. That was a relief!

Ed mentioned pizza and Ivy told him that, that was a capital idea and that she would get a couple of slices of pizza instead of soup and a sandwich.

Grabbing the food and the drinks, Ivy carried the food trays and Ed carried the drinks to the table, one by the window. They sat down and Ivy moved Ed's tray across from her own and sat down, looking over the food one last time before picking up the pizza and taking a bite. It was good pizza but she really liked her mothers pizza, Ivy did not know how she always made it taste so good!

"Moms is better, but this will do" Ivy told Ed as she ate the pizza bite by bite until there was nothing left of the calorie laden food.

"How long have you been here? Is there like a town we can walk to or what is there to do for fun around here?" Ivy quizzed Ed. Hoping that there was some kind of entertainment hub that she could check out during her free time.
