Exploring

You, Trixan, and Pepper sat down. You decided to get some pizza, and cucumbers from the salad bar. You also got some Pepsi. Pepper got a salad and some butternut squash. "Well the butternut squash is butter- not happening." Pepper and Trixan snickered. Trixan got some turkey and carrots. Pepper and Trixan both got water to drink. You asked a couple questions to Pepper. "So, how do you know if your an Imperial?" You asked. "Well, usually you know if your an Imperial because you have great fighting skills. Sometimes, a parent tells you. But, if you don't know by the time your fourteen, you'll never be an Imperial." "So, obviously Trixan over there is an Imperial, but what about me?" Trixan blushed at the compliment. "Well, I could help you find out. We have a training course a couple rooms away." "Sure!" You said, excited at the thought of being an Imperial. But then, you remembered what you were. You would never be an Imperial. "Well, it's almost lights out. We should go back to our rooms." Pepper finally announced. You dropped Pepper off at her place and went back your room. "You should change into these." Pepper offered, holding a pair of black sweatpants shorts and a white woolen t-shirt. "Thanks." You said, taking them out of his hands and quickly changing into them. Next you climbed into the bunk above Peppers. You promised yourself you would never do it again, but you couldn't help it. You held your hands in front of your face, and slowly watched the skin retreat up your arms, and stared at your skeleton hands.
