What in the world is<em>he</em>doing here? She turned around coolly, addressing the man she hadn't seen in quite a long time.<br/><br/>"Sergeant Flanagin! What a surprise!" As much as it pained her at the moment, she forced her face to light up with a smile. Formalities. She hated having to pretend to be normal. 'Put on a show so they don't realize just how different you really are', her father had always told her. "Business? Here? Oh, no, definitely not.

Do you have any idea what this colorful goo is?" Her large blue eyes stared up at him, blinking once, waiting for the answers to her questions.
