In between classes, Mr. O'Neill took Daria aside. 'Why me?' Daria wondered. “Yes?”

“I have noticed that Quinn and her friends have been acting weird while Ms. Lane and Ms. Burns were filming her. Is something wrong?”

“Nothing to be concerned about,” Daria answered bluntly.

“Oh dear!” O'Neill said in response to Daria's blunt response.

Daria changed tack. “Don't worry. It's more like, improvisational theatre,” she explained.

O'Neill relaxed. “That explains it then.”


And so between periods, the students of Lawndale High were treated with the entertainment of the 'Geeky Trio' acting like exaggerated versions of themselves. (Of course, only those students who shared the route they took saw the entertainment, but still more of the student body heard of it.)

Among those who heard of it was Tori Jericho. After leaving the Fashion Club she had stopped hanging around Sandi and had found other pursuits. She watched with interest as the three geeks performed for the Art Chick. “Interesting,” she murmured.

Lunch was different. )

We’re about to make Moonfall at Lunar Station Armidale, please remain seated.

Ariadne Jameson looked out of the window and saw that they were quite close to the Lunar surface. She knew that the Station was somewhere below them, so she couldn’t see it. However, she could see Earth in the viewport. She wondered whether she was chosen to be the first student to use the station because her grandmother was the first at the other station. ‘Sure, Gran Eura denied it…’ she thought, not for the first time.

Soon, the ship landed and Ariadne felt the Lunar gravity. She watched as the docking tunnel extended from the Station proper.


Tamsin Brown-Samuels, Director of Station Operations, saw Ariadne Jameson enter the Station. The first thing she noticed was how red her hair was. The second was the scattering of freckles on her face. She clearly had Irish ancestors. She shook her head. She wasn’t sure why she was appraising her appearance! “Welcome to Lunar Station Armidale.”

“Thanks,” Ariadne said.

“I’m the Director, will you follow me.”


Ariadne followed the director out of the welcoming area. She noted that the interior design was quite similar to that of the other station.
