BWI Airport | Portalocity Lounge | Saturday Morning

Petra was so relieved to find the Portalocity lounge and a banner proclaiming 'Fandom High.' She was pretty sure that meant she was in the right place, even if she did seem to be the first one here, and it meant she could sit down and stop dragging her luggage (two large, new-looking suitcases and an extremely battered green leather overnight case with an Audrey Hepburn decal on top) all over the airport.

She picked out a chair with a good view of the door so she could see new arrivals and sat down with Holly Go-Overnightly in her lap, then pulled her phone out. All her friends were still asleep, no doubt, so texting was out, but surfing the web seemed like a good way to kill some time while she waited for other people to show up. She hoped she wasn't the only new student. That would be awkward.

"You don't have phones in Daventry? Is it like that island in where they don't have cars ~~you know, like the one we're going to~~?" Petra asked as she dug a notepad out of her purse and scribbled down her number with 'Petra West' above it.

"I..am not sure," Rosella admitted with a faint smile, "but there's a good chance that you're right. Daventry is quite different from this world, which is part of the reason I think I like this world so much."

This world. The way Rosella phrased things was so funny sometimes. Not that Petra was going to tell her that because then she'd stop, and it was cute. "Well, I for one am glad you're here!"

"That makes two of us," Rosella grinned. "And I'm glad you're here as well, Petra. I imagine you would be, too, especially after the whole ordeal with the desert island!"

"It was pretty heinous," Petra agreed. "And I'm glad to be back in civilization with, you know, shoe stores and eyeliner. And hamburgers. I miss my friends, though."

That last bit managed to get a rueful smile out of Rosella. "Yes," she said. "That is one of the bittersweet things about going to a place like this, but I suppose one can always be assured that they'll meet plenty of new friends on every adventure they take."

"Like you!" Petra said cheerfully. "That is, I hope we're friends! And I can always text them."

"Like me!" Rosella agreed with a laugh. "I would love to count you among my friends, Petra! My first Fandom friend that wasn't already my brother's friend first!"

"I don't even know your brother, so you definitely don't have to worry about that," Petra assured her. "I am totally completely on your side. Unless it comes down to revolution; I am not getting involved in that shizz."

"I can hardly imagine what sort of a revolution we might need to even start," Rosella admitted with a twinkle in her eye that suggested she might try to find a reason, "but I shall certainly keep that in mind."
