A Train Car. Whee.

And so, grumbling, Karin dragged her trunk into the traincar, and sat down with an annoyed thump. "Eric, or anyone, really, better not see me like this," she angrily. Well, lets just say that recently, Karin's life had took a turn for the worse.

But lo, Eric was in there reading a book. He looked up and his eyes immediately brightened. Or well, one did. The other was a black eye.
"Karin! Hey- Karin! How are you?!"

"Uh, nothing nothing," as she said this, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand. She seemed to be embrassed by something.

"What? Tell me, will you?! I'm your friend."

"Oh, fine!" she said with exasperation. "I got braces? See?" she lifted up her lip, and sure enough, there were a pair of pink metal thingys on her teeth. "I have an overbite, and I need to wear THESE things for about a year or so,"

"Oh, that sucks. But, it's not too bad. Right? I mean, it's not like they're gonna wreck your teeth. Afterwards, you'll have perfect teeth! Right?"

"Yeah, but they're a pain, literally," she than stuck a finger in her mouth, and fixed one of the rubber bands. "And everybody's been saying that to me- about the whole things of how my teeth will look better and stuff... but I guess they're right," she sighed. "So, how was your summer?" But than, she eyed his black eye, and than realized that might not have been the best thing to say after all.

"Oh, same stuff... you know. But, it's ok. I mean, you know... I tried to stand up and stuff, but it wasn't that wise. But... I can't wait for Hogwarts." Eric said.
"And, you still look pre- fine with the braces,"

"Don't worry, you'll be fine," said Karin in attempt to comfort him. "And, thanks." And smiled. But she didn't show her teeth though. Just with her lips.

"You know, you should be proud of your teeth. Just saying."

"No, I shouldn't," Karin looked glum again. "I had an big ugly overbite. And my teeth were always kinda big. Rachel's lucky, her teeth are pretty nice looking..."

"Oh, that's ok. I suppose."

Selia came in, still wrapped in her blanket and half-asleep. She crawled under the table and fell right back asleep. Under the blanket, though, she was wearing her normal jeans and t shirt.

Selia came up, dropping the blanket and looking dead serious. "Listen, there's something going on I think you guys should know about.. Quickly now, before Antonio finds us."

Karin looked up over at her. "What?" she asked, covering her mouth with her hand.

Holly entered. "Aloha!" she called to everyone.

"Alright! Holly, sit down. Important news. Antonio told me he likes me, and I told him I liked him, and I kissed him, and he didn't mind it, then we went camping and played truth or dare, then we came here. Alright? Act like you already know so it doesn't get awkward!"

Eric glanced up.
"Oh, what's up, Selia? And hi, Holly."

"Hi, Eric," Holly smiled at him. "Wait, so Selia, you kissed Antonio? You kissed him?"

"You kissed Antonio!? That's so cool!" exclaimed Karin, forgetting to cover her mouth. Her voice had a tone of surprise, and impression in it.

[kelsi respond to PM plz]

Holly was, well, speechless.

Antonio and Fry entered the compartment, both of them laughing and stuff.

Eric's mouth was a big, fat O. When the two dudes entered, he closed his mouth. Immediately. But he still looked all wtf.

Holly waved at them. "Hey! ^o^"

"Hi," they said in unison. Then sat across from Eric.
"YO ERIC" Fry yelled, and high-fived him.
