Avenge Me

Which Came First; The Rocket Or The Egg Yolk

Aria flopped face first onto her bed, "Not my Faye." She mumbled. Flint stood awkwardly beside the bunk, patting her head stiffly. Eventually, Aria fell asleep and Flint was called into another room for his test. After his success, he went off in search of Bandit. Later, he returned to Aria's room and woke her up to face Blood Moon.

Blood Moon was waiting in the regular meeting room with Ghost and Ray standing beside their sitting friend. Blood Moon stared frontwards blankly and Ray began. "I'm sorry, Aria. But, we've come to the conclusion that we can't trust you."

"With so many strong connections to the Persistence, it's unlikely that our Thunders will welcome you kindly. A van will be waiting outside for you whenever you are ready. You will have to leave within a week." Ghost added. Aria's eyes were wide to match her ajar mouth. "Your family have all passed the test and they will be able to reside here if wanted. They will be protected in the Storm's base." Blood Moon added. "But we need to put our members first. Once again, I'm sorry."

Aria limply walked back to her room. Inside, a red-haired boy was sitting on Rain's bunk below hers. Aria simply ignored him and crawled up the rickety ladder to curl into her blanket. The boy popped his head up and Aria could see his nose and above of his face. "Hi!" He said excitedly. Aria only responded by opening one eye. "My name's Rocket." He continued, pulling his arm over the bunk to shake her hand. She only stared at it, disinterested. He sighed obnoxiously loud and said, "You're a sirius one aren't you." He plopped back onto Rain's bed with arms crossed. "Everybody here's sirius." Aria looked down at him in confusion for a few moments before saying, "You mean serious."

"What?"

"You said sirius."

"There's barely a difference."

"Well, you did pronounce it si-ri-us."

"No, it's ser-i-ous."

"That's what I'm saying."

"I said it too."

Aria sighed, "But, I'm not a dog so..."

"Are you sure? Because you sure look like one."
Aria stared at Rocket coldly.

"Could've fooled me."

Aria pulled the blanket back over her.

"Wowza, it would be easier to find a good joke in an egg yolk than here!" Rocket paused. "Hehehe, that rhymed."

"Do they even serve eggs here?"

"That's my point!" Rocket smiled.

"Well, I mean, you could probably lay one. With you being a total chicken and all."

"Wow, good one. I'm egg-cited to hear the next joke."

Amidst Rocket's intricate plans to find an egg yolk in a world where chickens are extinct, Rain, Melody, Lyric and Jet finally returned to their room. Melody and Lyric groaned at the sight of Rocket, who quickly jumped up to greet them. Jet ignored him, but laughed at his failed attempt of a joke. "I guess it really is hard to find a good joke now." Aria called. Rocket shot her a glare with a friendly smile. Rain simply smiled shyly at him and retreated into the bathroom. Aria watched Rocket bolt across the room from person to person with his flame red hair bouncing along with him.

Rocket left soon after everybody arrived, probably because of how negative everyone was around him. Once he left, Aria laid down on her bed and mulled over her current situation. The conversation between her roommates soon became white noise. Soon, she was sleeping soundly with periodic check-ins from Flint.
