Excerpt
from: A Different Morgendorffer, A Different Sloane
“Ready
to go home?” Else asked.
“Sure,
but not by the direct route,” Q answered.
“Of
course, by Lover’s Lane it is,” Else said.
After a
long make out session at ‘lover’s lane,’ the girlfriends finally called it a
night. It was still stormy when Else dropped Q off in front of a red brick
McMansion in one of Lawndale’s newer upper middle class subdivisions.

Excerpt
from: On An Alien Beach
‘Of
course!’ she thought. She knew that Tendi wanted to experience sand that wasn’t
like the sand on Orion. “What’s up?” she asked.
“I’m
making an epic sandcastle,” Tendi proclaimed.
“Oh
that’s great,” Mariner said with sarcasm. While Tendi was excited, Mariner knew
that she would find that boring.
“I’m
trying to relax,” Boimler said, “Before you inevitably draw me into some
adventure.”
“You
know me too well,” Mariner commented. She then noticed someone else arriving.
“T’Lyn! Join us.”
“Greetings,”
the Vulcan officer said.
“What
are you doing?” Mariner asked.
“Observing
my friends on this beach,” T’Lyn answered.
“What
else?” Boimler asked rhetorically.
“Where’s
Rutherford?” Mariner asked Tendi.
“I’m not
sure,” Tendi answered as she tried to steady a precarious wall. “I think
Billups had him doing something.”
“Right.”
T’Lyn
looked at Tendi’s construction. She had to admit it was quite good for an
admitted beginner.

Excerpt
from: Spider Quinn
“I’ll
do it!” Quinn said.
“Very
good, Ms. Morgendorffer.”
“Do
they know someone is going to help them?” Quinn asked.
“Not
yet. I wanted to ask you first.”
“Right.”
“I
will call them in first period tomorrow,” Li said.
“How
did it go?” Stacy asked when Quinn emerged from the Principal’s office.”
“There’s
no bad news,” Quinn answered.
“So,
what was it?” Stacy asked.
“She
wants me to help three misfits fit in.”
“Including
me?”
“I
don’t think you’re a misfit, Stacy,” Quinn said in a reassuring tone.
Stacy
breathed a sigh of relief.
“Come,
Tori is meeting us at the Pizza place,” Quinn said.
“Sure,”
Stacy asked.
“Wait.
Who are these misfits?” Stacy asked as they left the school grounds.
“Gerald
Brown, Ben Herrod and Anna Coulter,” Quinn answered. “Wait?”
“Coultard?”
Stacy supplied.
“That’s
it.”
“That’s
my neighbor.”
“I
knew I had heard that name before,” Quinn said.
“She
hasn’t fit in since Kindergarten,” Stacy said quietly.
“Oh,”
Quinn said.
“There
were many times when I tried to befriend her.”
“Really?”
Stacy
nodded. “But it seems that she’s shy.”
“That
doesn’t make her weird,” Quinn pointed out.
“Not
by itself,” Stacy added. “There are other things too.”
