It was dim in the cafeteria today. Chattering everywhere.
"Oi, who is that girl you're bringing over today, Tex?" the red-haired angel said, smirking.
Lappland stood behind Texas, as they approached. "Oh, this is my girlfriend," Texas said, smiling.
"WOAH!" The whole group of friends said, surprised.
"Yo yo yo! Texas just got a girlfriend. CAN'T Y'ALL BELIEVE?" The orange-haired girl with horns said, laughing, "Y'know the gal who always looks dang gloomy."
The red-haired angel smiled, "I'm Exusiai. Texas' reeeally close friend."
Lappland smiled, "It's nice to meet you. I'm Lappland."
Silence filled the room. "Y-you're Lappland?" the yellow haired girl with Lupo ears said.
"Uh, yeah," Lappland said, "Somethin' wrong?"
"WOAH! You're THE Lappland!" Exusiai said, breaking the tension.
"The Lappland?" Lappland said, confused.
"Oh well, y'know, there's been a rumor, gal. The psychopath of Rhodes, y'know. That's you, I believe," the orange-haired girl said, smiling.
"Well, that's quite the reputation," Lappland said, chuckling, "I didn't think I was this well-known..."
Texas just stood there, smiling, "Honestly who wouldn't? You keep saying my name. And I'm well-known for being THE delivery girl."
"Ha! I guess so!" Lappland said, grinning.
Silence filled the room, once again. "Am I being weird again?"
The blondie nodded, "You're also famous for that laugh."
The group laughed. "Man guys, am I seriously being made fun of for my laugh?" She laughed along.
"Well that's gonna be somethin' we'll get used to," Exusiai said, "Welcome to the crew!"
"Nu-uh guys! No one joins the crew officially without being one with us!" a deep masculine voice sounded.
They all turned, to see the old penguin stumble into the room. "So, you're Lappland? The one Texas talked about when she first got here."
Lappland looked at Texas, "Wow, you thought of me when you got here?"
"Shut up," Texas said, embarrassed.
"Oi oi! We didn't hear any of that!" Exusiai said, crossing her arms.
"Some stuff is to remain a secret," Texas said, smiling.
Lappland sat down at the table along with Texas. The penguin joined them as well.
"So shall we introduce ourselves?" the old penguin asked, snatching a soda drink.
"Ah right on that, Boss!" the orange haired girl said, "I'm Croissant. Nice knowin' ya!"
"Mm, I'm Sora. The idol that people constantly talk about," the yellow haired girl said, propping her head on her hand.
"And I'm the boss, Emperor, welcome to the team!" he said, pulling out papers, "Wanna join PL?"
Lappland brightened, "Wait! For real?!"
They all smiled, approving.
"We'd love a new member. Always fun 'round here," Emperor said, lifting his sunglasses, "Don't worry, we'll supply you with constant meds for your oripathy."
Texas looked at Lappland, "You're welcome here."
Lappland nodded and took the papers, and signed the contract.
The table all clapped and applauded. Causing everyone else in the cafeteria to clap along.
"WOO! WELCOME TO PENGUIN LOGISTICS, LAPPLAND!"
