Common Room

"He is, he really is, if he would cut his hair and drop the lip ring. And really? Wow, I must have heard it wrong, then... Hey, let's see who looks good with each other... Umm, I say you look really good with that blond guy hanging with Angel. But you and Angel looked really good."

"Chuck's just a friend. I really dunno... If I would pick on looks, Elroy for sure, but I know nothing about him. Maybe if I spent a year with him. Angel's horrid, Robin, just horrid. Chuck's nice.. But no."

Rachel came walking downstairs. She had changed out of her uniform, and was wearing a light green plaid shirt, a pair of mini shorts, and matching green leggings, and she was pair-foot.

"Oooh, is this boys I'm hearing about?"

"I was just talking about- if I had to choose the boys from last year.. I'd go with Elroy. He's so hot, but I don't know him at all. Angel's evil, horrid, even. Chuck's nice, and sort of cute, but he's just a friend, you know? And really, I don't think it'll be easy to find another guy like any of them."

Rachel took a seat cross-legged on the floor. "Personally, I think that Chuck is the cutest out of all of 'em."

"I don't need to worry about this. It doesn't matter- I'll find someone."

"We all will."

"I just.. I can't help but worry! You'll end up with Nicholas. Kelsi with Drew, Libby and Max, it's all as sure as the sunrise. But me and Olivia... I'm just a little worried about my future. I want a family, you know.."

"Well, me and Nick probably won't end up with each other," she shrugged. "We've been hanging out less and less lately, BUT, maybe when you're a lawyer, you'll find someone and stuff. But I dunno." shrugged Rachel.

"I just want to be able to go and be able to have someone that'll just.... click. And be there. And whatever happens, we'll always be there.." Her voice cracked and she laughed, curling up and putting down her head on the armrest. "I'm being so stupid. I don't know what love is. I don't know anything."

"But, do any of us?"

"You do."

Rachel burst out laughing. "You're kidding."

"You have been."

"No no no..."

"Serenity, I'm uncertain too- I'm scared. Boys have caused nothing but trouble with me. They're just... in my opinion, they're all trolls."

"I just need a hero." Serenity said, smiling at her own joke.

[I'M HOLDIN' OUT FOR A HERO IN THE MORNIN' LIIGHT.]

Robin pulled her knees up to her chest, and curled into a ball. She rested her chin on her left knee and stared at the fire. "Guys are so mean..."

[AND HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG!]

Serenity sighed. "Horrible."

[AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST!]

[AND HE'S GOTTA BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT!~ I NEED A HERO!]

Serenity curled up.

[I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO TIL THE MORNING LIGHT!]

[HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON, AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE~!]

[I NEED A HERO!]
