Once all the keepers have made a design on my job they call all the Gladers into the Homestead.

Newt is holding a notebook. "Vivian sit in the center chair" 

I sit down in the center of the circle. The Keepers all watching me.

"Alright meeting started. Vivian your our first female Glader before." Alby yells.

"Well No duh" I mumble. Minho stifles a laugh.

"Will Vivians Keepers please stand up." Alby yells.

Newt and Frypan stand up.

"Newt? I can't be a Track-Hoe! You know that!" I yelp.

"Your not a Track-Hoe Love" He promises.

"Since you are the only girl you will be on the council. You will have to attend the meetings and give us your thoughts." 

"Ok, Sound's simple enough." I say.

"Alright my turn." Fry says. "Vivi your a natural cook. I don't know if its smart to keep you and Ian together though.. But you will be a great addition to the kitchen." 

"Deal."

"So on the council and a Cook" I grin.

"Yeah." Alby grummbles. "If that's all gathering dismissed"   

All the Gladers get up and leave. 

"VIVI!!" Ian's voice yells. I turn to see him there a cheeky grin on his face. "I can't believe your a Cook!"

"I can" I laugh.

Fry joins us. "The Gossip Club is back together!"

"Gossip Club?" I ask.

"Yup!" Fry says skipping of to the kitchen.

"We should probably join him" Ian says.

"Should we though?" I ask.

"Yeah. We are the only Cooks"

"Really? Why only three?"

"No one else had the special touch." He shrugs.

"VIVIAN! IAN! I NEED YALL HERE!!!" Frypan yells.

"I guess we do have to go." Ian and I walk back to the kitchen.

"Yes Fry?" I ask.

"I don't anything I just want to make sure you aren't gossiping without me." 

"Oh" Ian and I sit down on a stool.

"So.. What do we do in the Gossip Club?" I ask.

"Gossip." Fry says. "Duh"

"We need special outfits!" Ian yells.

"YES! I could make them! Do you have any string and fabric?" I ask.

"Maybe. It will probably be in the storage room. Alby has the key."  Fry says.

"I'll go find him!" I rush out of the kitchen looking around for Alby. Then I spot his bald head. "Alby!"

He turns. "What do you need?" 

"I need some string and fabric" I say. 

"Why?" He asks.

"I'm making stuff" 

"Alright. Follow me" He leads me into on of the rooms in the Home Stead. "Take what you need."

In the corner of the room is an entire shelf of string, sewing needles and fabric. "Why so much?"
