Leon: He blinked a few times. "What's the sun?" he asked, tipping his head to the side. His silver eyes were clouded with confusion. "And why does snow turn into clouds?" Ciel: He did a face-palm. Sure, he didn't understand what Daniel just said either, but his brother looked like a complete idiot. | |

Daniel - I wanted to say that the sun was a star but he didn't want to lie if Leon asked what it looked like. "The sun? Its a big ball of fire." I looked around. "Millions of times bigger than your little land here." Why did snow make clouds? I had no idea. "Because snow sticks together." | |

Leon: "That's interesting, I guess," he said quietly, not having anymore questions. "The sky at where you come from must be really big, if it can hold up all of that." He looked satisfied, now knowing about clouds, stars, and the sun. Ciel: He scoffed at his brother. "Obviously their sky is large enough, if it can carry a giant ball of fire that big." | |

Daniel - I mentally sighed in relief. No more kind of true answers. I nodded as he said the sky was big. I would've told him that the sun wasn't in the sky; it was in outer space, but if I did, I'd have to explain space and the planets... I didn't want to. I looked around then swayed on my feet in satisfaction. "Yea. So what now?" I asked. Maybe I should flood them with questions now... When I thought it was a good idea, no questions appeared. | |

Zander~ I stopped and looked at Sundia, arching my eye brows. "Is everything alright?" I asked concerned. | |

Sundia - I looked at Zander and fake smiled. "Um..." I nodded. I took his hand and began to walk, rather quickly. I really hated when I loose myself like that. I'm not sure why. It is like I momentarily freeze up. I squeezed his hand as I continued to hate little things about my self. I looked around, trying to hear the sound of feet. It was about time for the men to come back from their hunt. Esterneh should also be looking for her. "Zinder," I began only half thinking about what I was saying "what do you eat on 'earth'?" | |

Zander~ I didn't quite believed her but I wasn't one to pry so I let it go. I peered at our intertwined handed then back at the back of her head. "Well, a lot of Earth people eat unhealthy foods like those McDonold's burgers." I shivered at the though of them. "But I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat meat just plants." | |

Sundia - I looked at Zander then back at the trail. We were getting close. I wasn't even paying attention. By the time Zander finished talking, we were entering camp. It was mostly a green meadow but there was thick forest surrounding it. There were also many trails that lead to different parts of the land. There were seven holes around the edges of the camp. They all lead to tunnels that lead to under ground stuff. The middle of the camp was a large tree which limbs spred out, casting a huge shadow over the whole camp. Allot of women and young children were climbing the tree or relaxing on some of the limbs. The camp was normally quiet but now it was full of chatter. Most of the people here only spoke our real language. Only a few spoke English, the ancient language. I stopped and looked around. The men hadn't got back yet. "McDonolds? Burgers?" I asked, continuing to look around for the men. "Well... we have allot of plants. First, you need to change." I continued to hold his hand as I lead him down towards the part of camp were we kept the animal skins. | |

Zander~ I sighed, now I know how my teachers feel. Looking around, my eyes widen in realization as I took in their camp. It was huge and so unusual and extremely different then what I was use too, and to think I have to spent I don't know how long here. I was stunned then snapped out of it when I heard what Sundia said, "Change?" | |

Sundia - "Hesheh." I whispered, looking at the tunnel. It wasn't far from where we were. We quickly got to the tunnel and I dropped his hands, getting down on my hands and knees. I began to crawl into the tunnel, standing up as it expanded to a large room made of dirt. For a little tribe, we were very complex. It was actually small compared to the others. I looked at the piles of animal fur. There were brown ones, white ones (like mine), silvery ones, black ones. I picked up one of the black dried animal furs. As I unfolded it, it made out to be something to wear, wraping around the chest (for girls/women). I shook my head, knowing Zander couldn't wear it so I put it down. I got another instead. It was like the pants he was wearing but except shorter (for dudes) but without legs... I was wearing a pair as well as fur around my chest. "You don't have to wear these but you can't wear that." I said, gestering to his clothes. I looked at the fur. "I just want you to blend in so you don't get attacked." I offered it to him. "This or some leaves. These are more comfortable." | |

Zander~ "Yeah, ok" I looked around the pile and sighed, there were a lot of them. Randomly picking a silvery furred pants that surprising looked like the color of my eyes, I hung it over my shoulders. "So where can I change?" I asked, looking around the dirt room. | |

Sundia - I looked at him and tilted my head. "N-" I quieted myself and crawled into the tunnel, turning my back to him. I covered my eyes. "Is this okay?" I asked. | |

Zander~ Chuckling lightly, I shook my head in amusement. Turning my back to her, I striped off my remaining clothes and put on the new ones. The fur felt weird but I guess I'll get use to it. I turned back to Sundia. "So how do I look?" I asked doing a pose. | |

Sundia - I closed my eyes, even under the protection of my hands until he finally said something. I backed out of the tunnel and turned around, looking at him. I smiled softly and nodded. "You look like one of us." I said, refferring to the hundred people who lived in the land. I could hear voices and I knew the men were here. "Come, quickly." I said, dashing back into the tunnel and rushing back into the camp. I could see the madness going on and after Zander came out, I pulled him to the side, out of harm's way. I watched as young girls and some women carried hand woven baskets of the vegatation here. "Things will calm in a second." | |

Ciel: He raised an eyebrow. "You don't have any questions?" he asked. "I'd assume that you'd have thousands of questions, since you fell from our sky." Leon: "Ask us anything!" he chirped happily. "It's not like we have anything else to do." | |

Daniel - I thought for a moment. "Does it ever get cold here? Does it get dark? How many hours are in a day? How many days in a year? Do you have pets? Any rituals and routines you all do?" | |

Zander~ I stared with eyes wide at all the people. I wasn't really one comfortable in crowds. And this was a big one. I lean over to Sundia so she could hear me better as I spoke. "Why is everybody in a rush?" | |

Ciel: He scoffed rudely. "Those are some pretty stupid-" Leon: "It doesn't get very cold," he replied, cutting off his brother. "And of course it gets dark. Why wouldn't it? Twenty-six hours in a day, five hundred seventy days in a year. Yes, we do have pets. We have a lot of animals here. I don't know about other people, but I don't do any rituals or special routines. | |

Sundia - I watched the crowds go by, paying attention to where the women took the vegitation. "It is eating time. We eat whatever we find or kill but we only have whole meals like this once a week. There will be a little havoc until the men bring the meat and the women begin to cook it." I looked at Zander, then at the women with the vegtables.
Daniel - I knew the questios were pretty dumb but they were the first things that popped in my mind. And besides, it isn't as if Leon's questions were very brilliant. I looked at the kinder twin as he answered my question. Why wouldn't it get dark? There was no sun or moon so who knows. "Do you have any holidays?" I asked, thinking about if I'd miss Earth's Christmas. I didn't want to be here that long. Honestly, I didn't want to be here at all. | |

Leon: "Holidays?" He thought for a few seconds. "Yes, we have a few holidays. Are there holidays where you come from?" He asked another question once again. Thousands of other questions flooded into his mind, but it didn't want to become a bother to Daniel. | |
