Alaia waited with the class, then walked along....Shrugging she said "Maybe they get on of those things they use to fix telephone poles with in here...And just use the lift to get them up there..." She smiled at the thought...Though she was pretty sure they couldn't fit one through the door...

Terry nodded, "True, but I don't exactly see any lift machines. Perhaps behind those huge double doors over there. It's like the vehicle that's used at the ice rink in the mall. One has to not be afraid of heights to be in something like that. Thankfully, I'm not afraid of heights." He looked back as the tour guide appeared in the lobby and headed in their direction. He couldn't wait to exit the lobby and head to the exhibit.

Alaia nodded "That's probably it..." Their tour guide started talking.."Welcome to the museum...Today, you will be entering the animal exhibit..Follow me, please.." Alaia walked along with her class, as the tour guide took them into the exhibit..Alaia smiled as they entered..

Terry walked to the side of Alaia and smiled back to her as they entered the museum hall. In front of them were the monolithic bones of dinosaurs, but there would be no visiting them today. They climbed the stairs to the second floor where the exhibit they were to see was. It was called "Those who roam the Savannah". It was a temporary exhibit unlike the Hall of Minerals on the other side of the floor. The temporary exhibits were nearly always better than the permanent ones. Some months back, there was an exhibit on ancient Greek culture. His adopted father taught him Greek even though the language was hardly useful outside of home. He was lost in thought about that exhibit and how it made him feel close to home more than any other time.

"Mr. Arcadia, try to keep up!" one of the chaperones sharply whispered to him. Terry's mind snapped back to attention. He replied slightly sorrowfully, "Oh, yea. Right." He rubbed his back and caught up with the group and stood with Alaia again.

ooc: Ok!
bic: Alaia looked around and didn't even notice that Terry fell behind..They walked up stairs and then after the stairs they entered the animal exhibit...The stuffed animals stared back at Alaia as she looked at them...She ignored the creepy factor and just took in the historical...She smiled as they stopped at a wolf exhibit...Almost everything they 'knew' about wolves was in some way wrong...I mean..They said that wolves are vicious and mean, bloodthristy animals...Alaia chuckled to her self...They were wrong on so many levels

Terry looked at the wolves frozen in time and remarked to Alaia, "Wolves are like people in many way: strong family ties, intelligent, protective of young. Shame about them; blamed for so much misery. Some people thought them the consorts of evil. They aren't that way, just misunderstood. If they were no wolves, it would undo nature's balance. Foxes are treated the same way. People fear what they don't understand and most times what they fear, they hate."

He looked downward at his ring and rubbed it. Would people treat me in the same way if they knew?

ooc: yay!
bic: Alaia nodded "That's true...For some reason what I fear, I don't hate..I overcome that fear....My parents think its my...a special trait from my birth parents..." That was close she thought...She knew that if anyone did find out that what she really was, she would be hated and feared...

Terry raised an eyebrow. Hmm, “Special trait” What is she trying to say? She’s talking in the same way as I am. Now I know something is going on, but what? If she is like me, I should share what I am because I’ll have found a kinsman after all these years. I can’t pass this up. He breathed deeply and looked at the guide as she continued to talk. He whispered without averting his gaze, “I know what you mean. I’m adopted as well and I have a special trait myself. I wish I didn’t have to hide, that I could be myself, but I understand my parents’ reasons for trying to keep it a secret. They only want to protect me from those who wouldn’t understand. You just might though.” He became quiet afterwards, he didn’t want to draw attention to themselves and didn't want to get into trouble for talking too much. There would be more time to talk afterwards.

After visiting the exhibit, they would going to watch a 2 hour documentary downstairs on the huge screen down in the basement. Then the class would break for lunch at a nearby sandwich shop and go home early because by the time they would get back to school, it’d be time to go anyway.

bic: Alaia saw him raise an eyebrow as she after she was done talking...There was this look in his eyes..When he starting talking, her eyes light up...So he was in some way like her...He had to be! Maybe not a wolf but something else....She smiled and nodded "That's the same way with me..."

After a while, they were done with the exhibit and were walking downstairs to watch the documentary..She sat down in the back and waited for the long documentary to start....

Terry decided to sit with Alaia in the back. He would have prefered sitting in the middle row in the middle seat to get the most optimal viewing space, but under the circumstances, he decided otherwise. The documentary was about penguins and their frosty world. He slightly chuckled because when he was in the 3rd grade, his mother made him a penguin costume. He was grateful that they saw this film because it wasn’t grim like other documentaries that he had seen; it was funny and uplifting.

As the film ended, he looked at Alaia quickly and looked back at the screen. Is today going to be the day when I finally reveal my true self to an outsider?

With the film over, the class left the theater and were allowed to visit the gift shop for a few minutes. Terry didn't want anything from the shop so he sat outside with other members of the class formulating how and when to let Alaia in on his secret, but he resolved to do it today. Right here and now would be too noticable as well as at lunch time. It would have to be when they got back to school and they could go home for the day.

Alaia looked through the gift shop but couldn't find anything. She walked outside of the gift shop and thought exictingly about when she could finally show her secret

After a short bus trip from the museum, the class stopped at the deli, invading it. Thanfully there were enough tables inside and out to accomodate every student. Since Terry had been in the back of the bus, he ended in the back of the line to order. When it was his turn, he ordered a marinara chicken sub and sat outside. It was a pleasant day, who wouldn't want to sit outside. He hoped Alaia would sit with him. They had much to discuss.

ooc: Alaia brought her own lunch...that ok? She's mostly wolf so she can't eat that much of human food...She's weird..

bic: Alaia sat near Terry on the bus..When they stopped at the deli, she didn't go in. She had brought a lunch.. She saw Terry sitting by himself and smiled..She went over and sat down beside him..

She opened her lunch and took out her 'sandwich'...It consisted of some practicaly raw hamburger, and some bread..Normal food like soup or pizza made her sick..She could eat bread and almost everything green except grass...
