Scene: Lord Markham's School for Talented Children

Jennifer looks on wishing she could do more to help him. "While Auntie is away I'll do whatever is needed to look after your and the others if you decide to let me. I owe that to both her and you." she says sincerely.

Spitball nods. It's clear he's still not fully sold on the school. "What's happening to Auntie?"

Jennifer says, "Auntie is in jail in Starguard. She'll be interviewed by various people and then a decision will be made about what will happen to her. Spitball, even if she was good to you she killed people. More that one. Some of those might have been nasty people but we can't go around killing everyone who upsets us. I won't fault her for taking you and the others. But killing was her choice. She didn't have to do it."

Spitball says nothing for a few moments. He sets a straight face and looks at his feet. "She did care though. You said she didn't care for us, but she did. That's why she got caught."

Jennifer nods meeting Spitball's gaze. "I was wrong. Yes, she does care for you. I understand that now. I would still have helped to arrest her even if I had known. Her caring for you doesn't justify all the killing she was doing. But I wish there could have been a different way to settle this. If it wasn't for the killings I might have been helping Auntie instead of arresting her. By killing she made herself hunted. By being hunted she made it much more likely that sooner or later she would be taken away from you. I'm sorry. I wish there was a magic wand I could wave and make everything right. But there isn't."

Spitball nods, looking at the ground still.

Hoverboard rushes by, then pulls a tight corner to return and stop.

Jennifer looks on wishing she could do more to help him. "While Auntie is away I'll do whatever is needed to look after your and the others if you decide to let me. I owe that to both her and you." she says sincerely.

"I wish the others were here - I miss them....."

Jennifer says, "I wish they were too but I'm not going to force them to come." She smiles, "I'm not going to force you to stay here either. You're supposed to remain here until they decide whether to try you for involvement in the robbery. But I don't think that will happen. They're not going to bother if you stay out of Colonial Bay. You and the others can start out somewhere new or you can all be here. I'm not responsible for you any longer. Someone was very angry with me for taking you, Doggie, and Hoverboard out of the cells and he threw me out of Starguard."

Jennifer gives Hoverboard a smile and wave.

Spitball looks up at Jenn's face again at that. "That's not fair!" he says.

Hoverboard nudges Jenn's leg, rather like a dog might nose someone.

Jennifer nods, "Yes it is, Spitball. I knew what my duty as a member of Starguard was, and I also knew I couldn't let you and the others stay in the cells. So I did what I knew was right. But Starguard can't have people they cannot depend on to obey orders in it. They were right to threw me out. I was right to do what I did. Being right and wrong can be very complicated. Sometimes you have to follow your head. Other times, like I did back at Starguard, you have to follow your heart."

Spitball nods. "I guess this is a time I should follow my head, huh? I've never been so good at that."

Jennifer nods, "Give it a try for a while. Maybe the others will come and join you. I hope so. Toymaster is watching I'm sure, through Hoverboard here, and Barbie and Doggie. You can always speak to him and pass messages on." She thinks for a moment, and then does a full reset on her PDA and hands it over. "You can tell them this PDA number and they can call you and speak to you. If they don't stay connected too long and use a new PDA each time the call can't be traced."

He grins. "Hey - cool! I really need to talk to Porthole. And it's not the same through Barbie and Toy."

Jennifer smiles, "If you want to get hold of me I'll give you my sister's PDA number."

"Ok!" He pauses, thinking. "How come you're being so nice? I'm nothing but trouble to you."

Jennifer says, "I've been were you are now, Spitball. If it wasn't for a couple of very special people who took time to be nice and help me I'd be a very different and very horrid person. I was helped. Now it's my turn to help you and your friends if I can. If I can do that maybe someday you'll find someone who could use some help, and you'll do the same. Anyway I like trouble. It's my middle name."

Spitball grins at that. "Yeah, mine too."

Jennifer grins, "I'm going to find Doggie and Barbie, I have some stuff for them." She chuckles, "Girl stuff for Barbie so you probably won't be interested. I'll come see you again after classes finish if you'll like that."

"Yeah, sure, ok!"
