Snowberry had slept most of the flight. All the excitement made her tired, and there wasn't anything else to do anyway. When the helicopter landed smoothly on the helipad, she didn't stir. Apparently Nuts had been told to wake her up, and he choose the worst way possible, spitting in her ear.
Snowberry shot up and preceded to chase Nuts off the helipad. over the nearby hill, and into the strawberry field beyond.
" Can't catch me! " Nuts laughed, five rows ahead if his new friend.
" Yes. I. CAN! " Snowberry screeched as she tacked Him from three rows back.
" Oof, get off " Nuts mumbled.
" Nah " Was his answer.

Snowberry waited, somewhat impatient, to be assigned her room number. She had been given a run down on all the rules, class and meal times, and other semi-important stuff. She and Nuts had gotten in trouble for messing up a bunch of strawberry plants, and had been waiting for their room numbers for ages.
" Snowberry, 147 "
She almost missed it. 147, 147. gotta find 147! Snowberry hurried after Jadie, who was waddling if towards a big doorway to her right. When she caught up with her friend, she finally notice the giant 100 over the entrance.
" Jadie, wait! " Snowberry whisper-yelled. Jadie turned around, and upon seeing her friend, jerked her head towards the '100' doorway.
"What number are you? I'm 135"
" I'm 147 " Snowberry replied, somewhat dishearteningly.
" Hey! " Jadie replied, " We're not that far apart! "
She got a grumpy humph in reply.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
" HOLY SUPER SEED! " Jadie shrieked, " WE'RE RIGHT ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER!! "
Snowberry had to admit, she was really exited as well. While the two celebrated and looked in each other's room's, Nuts snuck up behind his friends.
" Rawr! " He yelled, making the girls squawk and skitter away.
"Ducklings" he grinned, " oh,look! I'm right next to you, Snowberry!" The brown and cream duck hopped happily at his realization.
"Would you stop scaring us like that!" Snowberry exclaimed.
"Hmm, let me see," Nuts pretended to think hard, "nah"
Jadie and Snowberry sighed, waddling off to look at their rooms.
