We started watching the memory when Fitz found me.

We watched the part where Mr. Sweeney pulled out my earbuds and I gave the lecture.

"I was too smart to pay attention to that information, I had it all in my head already.  Plus, you couldn't understand, try living with a really bad headache ever since you were five, having to hide it, and being able to hear all of the bad things people think about you!"  "Your really mad," says Fitz.  "Ya, I mean, you would think teachers would appreciate a student that's really smart, but I guess not."  "He was just jealous, just like that other guy, Garwin Chang, was jealous of you because you got a full scholarship to Yale and he got rejected," says Biana.  "I guess."  "Why did they call you Curvebuster," asks Keefe.  "I don't know, somebody said it once and it stuck, I'm just mad that I wasn't going to be able to go."  

They show the part were I see Fitz.  "Your heart did a weird fluttery thing?," asks Dex.  "It's a girl thing," says Biana.  "Ok," all of the  boys say.  "I'm flattered that you think I'm cute," Fitz whispers into her ear.  I just smile and reply, "Of course."  Then out loud he says, "Perfect smile, huh," with a smirk.  "Don't get too full of yourself."  Everybody laughs.

Next we watched the part where the kindergarten class came in.

"You looked around to see if anybody saw you, and when you saw Fitz looking at you, and he asked you if you heard it, you freaked," laughed Keefe.  "Well yeah, I never told anybody, because when I tried to when I woke up crying in the ER when I was 5 nobody believed me and thought I was crazy.  They just injected me with more stuff hoping it would help, but if anything, it just made things worse, especially because it started my fear of doctors, and definitely needles."  "You were afraid of doctors," asks  Marella.  "Ya, she was so scared, when I brought her to Elwin for the first time, you'll see," says Fitz.

We then, watched the part where I ran away and almost died three times!

"That's classical Sophie, almost gets hit by a car, doesn't, then almost get hits by a lamppost, stops it using amazing telekinesis, then freaks, and drops it, almost dying again," says Dex.  Everybody agreed.

Then they watched the part where Fitz was explaining that I was an elf.  When he said he wasn't sure if he was supposed to tell me why they were looking for me, and I asked how I'm supposed to trust my I'm if he won't answer my questions, everybody laughed.  

"He wasn't supposed to tell you that much," says Alden.  "Well, I convinced him to."

"Fitz, it wasn't nice to laugh at her," says Della, when he laughed at me saying I'm an alien.  "Sorry, it was just really funny," he replies.  "You thought that was a magic wand?" Asks Linh.  "Kinda."  

"Aww, Fitz, you're already joking with her like you've known each other forever," says Biana.  We all just laugh.

When Fitz starts to tell me how it's dangerous to light leap, and that I need to do exactly what he says.

"Oh, so you say that then, but don't give her the nexus," says Alden.  "I didn't have the nexus with me," replies Fitz.  "What do you mean," asks Alden.  "That wasn't the time you met her, you'll see," says Fitz.

They showed the part where they light leaped, and everybody laughed when Citz said, 'you can let go of my hand now.'

"So that's what you meant.  You took her to our capital," says Alden, "I gave you strict instructions not to make contact at all."  "Dad, I didn't think it was her at first, and then when I realized it was, she took a lot of  convincing," says Fitz.

Everybody was laughing at Fitz and Sophie's debacle about magic and the theory of relativity.  And everybody felt bad for her, as she took everything in.

"Fitz was like, 'What', when you said you!d been reading minds since you were five," laughs Tam.  "I was surprised," replies Fitz.  "It was even funnier when she got past your blocking," adds Biana.  "I was so confused."

They showed her at home.  "That's so terrible that she thought that she wanted you to be like your sister," says Biana.  "I'm used to it."

"I love that nickname," laughs Fitz, when her dad calls her Soybean in the movie.  "And I hate that nickname."  Everybody just laughs again.  "It's cute," says Biana.
