I need someone as cool as me to sit with."<br/><br/>Kaija grinned, not sure why she was blushing, but laughed and squeezed the other girl’s waist with her own arm.<br/><br/>"Lookit this food. I'm pretty sure makin' us eat it is a war crime. It looks like sewer runoff and smells like the back end of a wet moose in spring."<br/><br/><br/>Kaija giggled and made a gagging face.  She pointed to the green gloop, “I’m pretty sure this is what happens when you burp a baby reindeer.”  She made the gagging face again, but took her tray and the requisite large number of drinks.  Perching on a bench, she drained a cool, clear water glass, then looked over at the girl who’d sat down beside her.<em>She’s really pretty, and funny too.</em><br/><br/>While forcing down the goo, she looked up at the drill seargent gnawing on the blond.  She whispered to the redhead beside her, “Grin like a shark and a bellow like a loudspeaker.  Are we sure these aren’t the aliens?”<br/><br/>She grabbed another water to wash down the slop, then picked up the pill and went for a third.  “And I think this was made to be swallowed by horses.  Wonder what it is?”  She shrugged and popped It in her mouth, then drained the third glass of water to get it down.
