It had been with several bone-crushing hugs, a lucky rabbit's foot, two trashy books and an iPod that Olive had boarded the plane. If she had to guess, geographically, she had started to really miss her parents and brothers somewhere over Texas. (Texas was huge. She was probably right.) She'd pushed that away and shoved in her earbuds in an attempt to sleep, to no avail.

And...now she was supposed to meet new classmates. Okay. She found the designated loungey area thing -- and holy crap, that glittery sign was like something Marianne would make (so...not a great omen) -- and took a seat. Tempted as she was to retreat into her book and iPod again, she instead only fiddled idly with her phone, looking up every couple minutes to see if anyone relatively her age had come over. She hated being the first one anywhere. Now there was like, this onus on her.

She had maybe just won her Words With Friends game with her mom, as soon as the plane had landed, with "onus." She was pretty proud of that.

"I mean, they're rumored shower-gulls," Olive admitted. "Like flying chupucabras, basically."

Nothing like flying chupucabras. Except that both were fictional.

"... I would watch a movie about flying chupacabras," Jessica mused. "Any clue if Syfy's done that one yet?"

"No, and I'm kind of a junkie for that stuff," Olive admitted. "We should make that movie and send it in. We'd probably make like, at least fifty bucks off it."

"I always had dreams of growing up to be a bad actress in a terrible movie," Jessica said. "Fandom apparently makes dreams come true."

"Hey, we shoot for the stars around here," Olive replied. "Low budget, poorly-paid acting is one of the greatest rewards in life."

"I demand a producer credit and, you know, maybe not a trailer, but at least a moderately comfortable lawn chair," Jessica said.

"I'm not making promises," Olive said, "but if the budget allows, I think you're probably star enough to spring for a beanbag chair."

"Wow. That's really piling on the pressure," Jessica said. "I'll try to live up to it and be the worst actress I can be."
