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.

"Oh sure," Jamie said with a serious look. "It may sound silly but deep down it's about the heart of America. Our trucking industry."

"Half of these words," Rosella insisted, or at least she tried to. The mirth in her face was making it difficult to return the instructor's serious look, "are pure nonsense."

She did not sound like she considered this a bad thing, however.

"It's a code," Jamie said seriously. "A code that belongs to brothers. Of a brotherhood of the open highway, bad food, truck stop showers and eighteen wheelers."

"Well!" said Rosella with a lift of her brows. "I certainly hope this brotherhood includes sisters, as well!"

"Well of course it does!" Jamie said with a grin. " Perhaps a more gender neutral term would be more appropriate."

"Then I suppose that puts fellowship right out," Rosella mused with a faint smirk.
