"I'll do it, pal, but I also need to find a normal job. Doesn't anyone in the quarter owe you or Dozer a favor, and could use a couple strong arms? I've got lots of time during the day."

"Oh, don't worry - we know he has it. Freddie likes to be a little sneaky though, ya know, so don't let him trick you," Slim advised as he fixed his hat and got out his gloves. "And yeah, lots of people around here owe Dozer. You do this, and he'll hook you up with somethin' else, ya know?" Slim turned for the door with Rodney in tow. "See ya, J-man!"

She finishes her fruit and places it downin her napkin. Her eyes stray to her sister across the cafeteria. She smiles when she sees Lana talking to Luke. Thats the ticket girl, keep it up! "Hey look, Luke is talking to Lana, do you think he likes her?" she asks her friends.

Kelly and a couple of the other girls laughed slightly, while the rest strained to look past Stacy's shoulder at her twin. "No offense, Stacy," Kelly soothed, "but Lana is kind of, well, a wench. Especially to the guys. She acts like she doesn't like them!" the cheerleader asserted, believing it impossible that any girl in her right mind wouldn't be thrilled for Chris Hart or Luke Waverly to just talk to them. "I'm kind of surprised Luke is even talking to her."

Then she turned her attention to Luke, puzzlement creasing her brow. "What? Why are you asking me to look at your snowboard? Did you want me to test it for you, make sure you got the real deal?"

Jason accepted the disk gratefully, appearing for the most part relieved that he wasn't at the center of attention anymore. He needn't have worried about Luke, though, who hadn't looked anywhere but at Lana the whole time.

"Yeah, sure," Luke was saying. "I board a little bit - my dad has a cabin out in Colorado. I guess that's a little far, but we could go board up in Wisconsin this week." He gave her a sly look and rested his elbow on the table, supporting his head with his fist. "I heard you're pretty good - you can show me your moves."

"I'm sorry, sir," Linh called back in English, "I don't speak Chinese." Then, in Vietnamese, "Maybe you speak some Vietnamese?"

She then approached him to see if he needed some sort of medical attention - an EMT was never off the clock, not really - or if he was just asking which way the mens' room was.

The man didn't seem to be hurt, and he frowned at Linh at first, but then his expression turned to a relieved smile. <Oh, Viet!> he exclaimed in broken Vietnamese. <I speak this a little. I'm so glad! I'm visiting my sister in this city. She's at school. She showed me the way to the museum.>

He kept motoring things out, very energetic in his speech and animated in gestures, throwing in Chinese words here and there when he didn't know the equivalent, but Linh could follow, more or less. <I got lost,> he was saying, grinning sheepishly with embarrassment. <This museum is very good, but why do they make it so dark? The only people here speak nothing but English!>

Lana arched a dark brow and then glanced at all her skater friends before returning that gaze upon Luke again. "You want to board, do you?" A smirk curved the edge of her lips. "We go boarding every weekend up at the Peak. Show up and we'll see what you're made of."

That said, Lana returned her attention back to her laptop.

[Viet]"Yeah, for being such a big city, you'd think they'd have some staff with language skills,[/Viet] Linh agreed. [Viet]"I'm glad you like the museum - I'm pretty imrpessed with it, too. As for the lighting, I think they're trying to give the feel of an ancient tomb down here. It's now really supposed to be cheerful."[/Viet]

[Viet]"So, is there anything I can help you with? My name's Linh by the way,"[/Viet] she introduced herself.

"Thats not very nice," Stacy says looking hurt, her eyes lowerig she lets out a sad sigh. She could be nicer to everyone, and less sarcastic, but she is a good person. I just know it

"How can you say that? I know she is a little sarcastic, but she is really sweet when you get to know her." she insisted, sticking up for her twin. "I'm not surprised that he wants to talk to her, he has good taste." she draws her knees up to her chest putting her arms around them. "She's my sister, no one is perfect."

"I suppose that would be alright," Lorenzo said, his voice lowered, "assuming he brought a date along as well. Otherwise, he would look awkward and all alone while we were dancing," Lorenzo said quietly as he glanced around conspiratorially, then continued, "that is, of course, if you would consent to be my date fo the Dance." Lorenzo waits, heart in his throat for a response.

"I, hope though, that we can get together before then, because I really enjoyed going out with you this weekend."

"Maybe we can get away without a chaperone, if things were solid with your parents. Perhaps, you and your parents could come over for dinner and I can make sure things are smooth - and, my mom's an excellent cook."

That said, Lana returned her attention back to her laptop.

"Sounds fun," Luke agreed. "So how about coming over tonight and giving me some pointers?" he went on, unswerved.

Meanwhile, a few seats over Kate Figaro and Mike Mulkeen were chuckling and talking in whispers, glancing at Lana and Luke now and then. Kate was the only other girl in the skater crowd, and though she might have looked very girly to some, she was more than willing to throw a punch in anyone's direction if they ticked her off. Through the resulting detentions she'd gotten to know Mike pretty well, who couldn't seem to keep out of trouble himself despite his ability to smoothly lie and explain with the best of them.

"Mike can help you with that. He's a better teacher than I am. I tend to get too impatient," Lana murmured, her mind concentrating the last stanza to her poem. What was Luke up to now? She didn't trust these JV boys as far as she could spit, and she was pretty good at spitting quite the distance too...probably too much practice in kindergarten.

Then remembering there was another person at their table, Lana added with only a brief glance, "And Kate can help you, too, Jason, if you want to learn how to board. I haven't got the patience to get instructor certification yet for the Peak."
