Mere ran in with Lena on her heals. They had gotten in line when Mere looked over at the table were the Rats ate. They gave her evil grins and turned away. One boy she knew as Luke from her first army when they had been in Hydro together gave her a specially cruel grin. She never liked him. But she ingnored them and started to walk back to a table where some other flames were. They turned to go when a foot came out from the salamander table. Lena and Mere both caught it and fell to the floor there tray's flying out out in front of them. Lena got up quickly and ran over to the Flame table. Mere on the other hand fumed. She stood up and looked at the boy who had tripped them. "What is your problem!" she yelled at him. He just sipped his juice. "It's not my fault you are so gimpy." he replied. The others at his table just laughed at the joke. Mere scowled at him.
"It's not my fault you are a little bugger lover tom, or should I call you by your first name?" He stood up and glared at her. "Don't you dare." he scowled back at her.
"Why are you all of a sudden out to get Flame huh?" she questioned. "All in time." he snickered.
She smiled at him. "Ashley." She said under her breath. Tom gave her a warning look and came up to her so his face was glaring straight into hers. "Don't!" he said in a hushed tone.
"Or what."She replied. He looked at the others in line. "You wouldn't want another problem like before." he said as he pushed her a little.

Saint walked into the mess and quickly made her way over to the food line. Her stomache growled, only showing how hungry she was. She grabbed a tray and waited immpatiently for the line to start moving.
Anne was now fully awake, and walked over to the food line.
"I'm starving" she said to Tony and Luc, who had followed her.
"Me too" Luc agreed.
"Me three" Tony said, cuting Anne.
"Uh, no you don't" Anne grapped Tony's arm and swung him back, behind Luc "I'm older" she pointed out.
"I'm smarter" she shot back.
"We'll see about that" she laughed.
Casey had just made it to the food line.
"Morning" he yawned.
"Morning" the three friends replied.
Saint breathed in relief, the line was finally moving. She quickly got her food and headed towards the Flame table. As she walked, she spotted Mere by the Salamander table, and she was obviously mad. Sara glanced at her as if to ask if she wanted help.
Anne, Tony, and Luc got their food and went to the Phoenix table immediatly. Casey paused and walked by the Rat table.
"Game room" he said under his breath as he passed Luke "When you're done eating" He set his stuff down at his table, and pretended to have dropped his fork, which was up his sleeve. He stopped by the Hound table and whispered to Matt
"Meet me in the Game room when you're done" he slipped the fork out of his sleeve and headed back to the Phoenix table. He sat dswn and began wolfing his food.

Matt nodded and looked at Luke. Luke caught matts glance and smiled. "Well I'm done. He said. The others laughed. You all follow me. They got up and walked past the pheonnix table. Luke gave Casey a quick glance. Then Matt got up and with his group followed the rats to the game room.

Aryl, Arteman, and Alistair got their food and sat down with everyone else. Alistair looked across at Aryl, and smiled. "Tired?" He asked her. "Shut up." Aryl muttered, shoveling food into her mouth. How could she get eight hours of sleep and STILL be exhausted.

Emory was about to go in when he heard his name and turned. It was Toro. He looked over his shoulder and figured he could talk to Order later. He walked over to Toro.

"Emory, we need to find Order right away," Toro sputtered between trying to catch his breath. "Casey, and a whole lot of others are in the game room right now, and they mean to hurt him, bad. They were having a shouting match with a toon leader from Flame, and another Flame soldier. Between some scraps I overheard and some messages I uncovered, it looks like he's trying to protect your sister from Order's commanding style. Something about overworking the soldiers. We've gotta hurry."

"Of course, Lena," Toro stated seriously. "By the way, my real name is Michael, but most people here call me Toro. It's an old story." He reached out to shake her hand. It was obvious Emory was afraid of Lena finding out what was going on. Not knowing most of the people involved, he was going to have to defer to Emory's judgment.

Lena smiled. She shook his hand. "Nice to meet you. Okay. I have to go." she kissed Emory's cheek and walked out of the mess. But before she left she sighed. "Emory...you need to take a brush threw your hair." Emory put a hand to his head and looked at a soilder behind him. "Do I?"
The soilder shrugged and turned to eat. Emory turned back to Toro. "You seen Toro."

Emory nodded. "I will go into the comanders mess." He walked in and got a couple glares as well as a few pat on the back. He had on his first his first battle. But he didn't notice.

(sorry I've been gone, I've been busy) Aryl leaned back, having overheard every single word of Emory and Lina's conversation. The rest of Flame had probably heard it as well, but that question was irrelevant. "Why is it," Aryl asked, "That nothing in life is as simple as 'go from point a to point b wihtout any distractions?" Arteman blinked. "I wouldn't know, I'm not Jesus." He said. "Why does it matter." "I'm just curious." Aryl said. Alistair frowned. "Shut up and eat, this is battle school, we don't need philosophers." He said.

Aryl stood up, and started to walk away. "I'm not hungry." She said. "Are you ever?" Arteman asked. She scowled but ignored him as she threw away her food and left the mess. Alistair looked at Arteman. "There's not too many people from our army left, we should probably go." He said. So they stood up, and left as well.

But then Aryl thought about what she was doing for a moment and realized that she was indeed hungry, and that it'd be pretty stupid not to eat anything. However, she realized that if she sat back down to eat that would implicate her as being stupid to the others. Her only recourse was sit in a bathroom stall until she starved to death. Strangely her body was never found.

Order walked into the Mess, on his way in he saw Aryl.
"All right Aryl, in about 10-15 minutes I want you to gather your toon and head to the Battle room. Till then, enjoy."
He continued and nodded at the followers Arteman and Alistair. Then he thought for a sec, about how friends always seemed to improve the outcome of any soldier. Since those three were obviously close, why not put them in the same toon. He thought about it and decided to leave it alone for a while as he walked out of the line with his food in hand and sat at a vacant table. He looked around and spotted almost everyone giving him dirty looks.
Then a kid walked by and carelessly spilt his drink on him. "Sorry." he said as he picked up his glass and walked away and started laughing and pointing at Order.
Order shook his head, he'll let it slide this time, next time he would have to take some kind of action. He took his napkin and dried the soaked spot. and continued eating.

Andrew sat ans watched as boys pointed at Order and laughed. He himself was in Pheonix and walked over to the table. "Times run hard Order? Did Emory talk to you?"

Andrew shruged. "I don't know who is in charge of this whole ordeal, but you better be ready to defend yourself." she smiled. "Hey, least you got Emory and your leaders. They are all pretty good fighters, right?"

"Yeah thats another good thing, and I'll be teaching self defense today after breakfast for those who don't know how to defend themselves."

Andrew nodded. He got up from the table and walked over to the pheonix table. Emory walked back in. He had heard what Order had said and thought for a minute. "Mind if we join this little lesson," Emory said. "Defense for all of us would be great."

Howie was having a tough time eating his food, he was continuesly looking to see if Anne was looking at him. Emory was talking with the other commander's about a conjoined practice. But he perked up at the sound of competion.
" Oh, boy, would I love to get my hands on some of those Flame, I would just tear them ap- Oh, ya of course I'm talking about the other Flame army. You know the one that only I can see, Oh well just forget I ever said that."

"Hmm, truly intresting, and it will encourage the people to come. Still I have to talk to them. Also, the practice is right after breakfast so prepare your army just in case."
He continued eating waiting for the rest of his army.

Greg arrived in the mess freshly showered and found Order sitting talking to the Phoenix commander, Emory was his name, or something like that. He took his seat next to Order and listened in on the conversation.
"A two for one practice? Intresting... I'll discuss it with my army, though im sure they won't have a problem with it." said Order.
"Hey, any new challenge sits right by me Order. Me and my toon are ready for anything you can throw at us. You as well Emory." Greg smiled and looked up at Emory, not quite challenging him, but almost.
"To make it more interesting we could have a competition?" replied Emory.
Order responded and Emory walked back to his table. "I think we can take them boss. Of course we'll actually have to learn the stuff first but I figure that's just a technicality right? But in all seriousness, this could be very good for us."
Greg turned back to his food, if you could call it that, and chowed down. He had come a little later than he had hoped and wanted to finish so they could get to practice on time and ready to fight.

Order nodded, "We may be able to beat them, but thats not the goal. The goal is to learn how to defend your self out of all seriousness. Greg, I don't want just minor practices, I want them to the point that they are seemingly fighting. Just to think fast and get used to the situation.

Tirath was sitting at the usual table with the intresting news of a two for one practice he grinned, but wasn't expecting much. He continued eating his 'slop' and took a drink to wash it down. He had already been introduced to hand-to-hand combat, and had a few good bouts. He hoped it would be easy, but knew it wouldn't.

Lena walked into the mess. She had seen Emory and Order talking. Once Emory had left she walked up to Orders table. Most of Flame had entered now. She sat down. Most looked eager. "What the big deal?"

Anne got up and tossed her tray. She should be going back now.
Tony and Luc glanced at each other. They both knew where they'd go to next. Game room. Tony grinned, Luc was still mad about the game he'd lost. Tony took off, out of the mess, Luc right behind him.

Emory walked over to Anne. And placed a hand on her shoulder before she could walk out. "Hey, I need to talk to you and the other toon leaders about practice."

Saint swallowed the last of her food. She was still a little hungry, but they rarely had excess food. She pushed her tray away and laid her head on the table, on her arms. She was still tired, despite her wake-up call that morning.

Mere walked in to her Emory talking to Order about a combined practice. Her eyes lit up. She walked up to Orders table. "Order, Emory wants a combined practice? So.....are we?"

Chaos let a slight smile out as he saw her eyes light up. He pulled his hand away carefully so that he wasn't dragged across the room; she seemed to be in an aweful hurry. He calmly walked over, just in time to catch the last words said by Order, "Ask your toon if they want to or not."
He could tell she was excited, but he remained unresponsive and calm during the ordeal; he left with his hands in his pockets, going for something to eat that might satisfy his appetite.

Mere nodded. She walked over to the table her toon was at. She ran the idea by them. They nodded to her. She smiled and walked back up to the commanders table. "They all want to."
