Back at home.)
Amber: . . . It was scary! Half those people are nutjobs, and I have a feeling I am going to get killed if I stay there.
Amber's mom: Well, you were the one that wanted to go to school off base, sounds more like your problem then mine.
Amber: But mom!
Amber's mom: Look sweetie, you are going to be twelve in a few short months, almost an adult. It's about time you had some responsibility.
Amber: Look what they did to me! (
Shows her shoulder, the cell gel regenerated the wound, not even a scar remained.)
Amber's mom: I see nothing.
Amber: Well, they put some stuff on it and it healed! Please I hate being with these guys I really do!
Amber's mom: Well you're just going to have to suck it up, you think I wanted to go to Iraq last year?
Amber: Well, no?
Amber's mom: Right, and I didn't complain, because it's something I had to do. Just because you don't want to do something doesn't mean you don't have to. It's part of being an adult. You see, I joined the military because I didn't feel like doing anything else, because of that, they tell me to do something, I do it. You know why?
Amber: . . . No
Amber's mom: It's because I made the choice to go in.
Amber: But I didn't want in the Alien Party, they just voted me in!
Amber's mom: But you wanted to go to school there, yes?
Amber: well, yes? But.
Amber's mom: Well there you go then, don't complain about it. Next year you're going into middle school, you can go to the one on base. But until then you are going to soldier up and deal with it.
Besides, I'd figured you'd be popular there because you're an American.
Amber: They don't care about that.
Amber's mom: Well that's good, some equality is good too. Anyway, I am going to start lunch, got anything else bugging you?
Amber: No.
Amber's mom: Good

Now you should find what your friends are doing and get to know them.
Amber: But I don't want to hang out with those guys!
Amber's mom: They're your teammates, the only way you guys will act like a functioning unit is if you guys get to know each other.
Just for today alright?
Amber: Fiiiiiiiiiine!
Amber's Mom: Good girl.

Random fact, Amber lives on Yakota Air Base, she was tired of going to an American school and wanted to try a Japanese one.)
