"MORNING LADIES." Milo's always been weird but this morning when I was waiting for Colby, he took this to a different level.

"Milo, why are you measuring my locker? If you're wondering if you can fit in there, I can help you." Amy said fake smiling.

"Since we're friends now, I figured you wouldn't mind sharing space." Milo shrugged.

"Wha...But you already have a locker. Why do you need mine?" Amy said.

"For my overflow," Milo said.

"Wow, that's a lot of toys."

"Bite your tongue! These are vintage collectibles." Milo said.

"So old toys."

"Talk like that will get you thrown out of the Collection Con at the Valley View conference room. Anyway, my menagerie is growing, so I need some more space. What do you say, friend?" Milo said.

"Fine. But fair warning, I'm not responsible for any heinous things your little dolls are gonna see in there." Amy said.

"Wait, is that a Starling action figure?"

Milo nodded.

"Cool, let's see if this version can fly too." I gasped, throwing the toy.

"Oh, baby girl!" Milo whimpers, running away. "What has that weird woman done to your beautiful body."

Amy laughed, looking at me. "Good one."

"OH, UH, YOU'RE WELCOME MILO." Milo was a weird child and it's rubbing on my skin. I have to be nice and everything that makes me nice is hanging out with Colby so no way that would be happening now.

"Oh, okay, I guess you're welcoming too!" Amy shrugged, walking away. "Okay, seriously? You know what, now you are welcome! I welcome no one!"

"See? This is why we slam the door in people's faces. This whole begin a good person thing is getting really old."

"I try to be polite, but no one even notices. What's the point of being nice if no one is nice back?" Jake said.

"Jake, you shouldn't be nice because you expected something in return," Hartley said. "You should do it because you want."

"Okay, I will never understand your logic."

"Being nice makes me look weak. Everyone treats me like a dormant." Jake said as someone bumped into him. "See now I understand. In Centropolis, people knew Chaos had super strength. Not only did they fear me, they respected me! Here, I'm just the guy everyone knows. See?"

Someone bumped into him.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, it's fun to watch." Amy chuckled.

"You know, what? I'm done being the joke around here. I might not be able to use my super strength, but I'm gonna find a way to get people to respect me." Jake said.
