Princeton flushed slightly. "Well, not many people want to hire a twenty-two-year-old with no experience. I mean, how am I supposed to get experience if no one will hire me, huh? I... maybe I'll work for a temp agency or something, I dunno. At least YOU have a dream, a purpose. I don't know my purpose..."

Suki laughed and said, "Hey, anything's possible in the job world. Try new things." She looked down. "My worst fear is that my book won't sell or something. If I ever finish it."

Princeton frowned. "I'm sure your book'll get published. I know I'd buy it... if I had the money, that is..."

Suki giggled. "If you want, you can have it free."

"Oh, thanks!" Princeton's face lifted again. "So... who've you met so far around here? I met Gary and Brian and Christmas Eve... and I sort of met Nicky and Rod... and I met"--for some reason he blushed--"Kate Monster," he said too quickly, "and those adorable Clover and Esteban! They have such great ideas!"

Suki smiled stupidly, not realizing he liked Kate Monster. "I met Brian, Christmas Eve, and Kate, and..." She blushed. "R-Rodney." She twiddled her fingers thoughtfully.

"Oh, um, okay..." Princeton couldn't help feeling extremely awkward--what did her blushing MEAN? He'd never been very good at reading girls' emotions. So, needless to say, they had an...
...AWKWARD SILENCE MWAHAHA! D<

Suki looked up, faking a reassured smile. "SO! How's your life gone so far?"

"Oh, um, well now." Princeton was startled by her question. "Well... I sorta had a sheltered childhood. I had some friends, was good at school. Then I went to college, got my B.A., and... and here I am! Yeah, up until now, my life was great, but now it pretty much sucks." He nodded placidly. "Yep. How 'bout you?"

Suki said, surprised, "Well, that's very short..." She fidgeted. She couldn't just tell some random neighbor that she was a NINJA! "Well...." She trailed off, trying to figure out what to say.

Princeton mistook her hesitation for not trusting him with her life's story, and said, slightly colder than before, "Okay. Sorry, I should have known; it's a personal question and we just met and all..."

"Oh... okay." Princeton fidgeted slightly in his seat. "So, what are you into? What do you like?"

Suki looked around. "Well, I like to read & write & draw.... I like going to the library.... and I really, really like American movies. You know, Hollywood and stuff. I also like kids.... little kids, but I love 'em all.... and I love the internet!" She beamed, beginning to rant about the wonders of the internet & technology.

"Oh, god. Whatever you do, DON'T mention the internet in front of Trekkie Monster," Princeton warned, his eyes wide.
