Zoey cocked her head and squinted a bit as she thought for a moment.

Zoey: I guess it is probably hard on her, but. . . I never hear her complain about it. I've only know her for a short time, so I don't know her very well yet. Ruth and Joanna and their sisters help but they usually prepare it here then finish it off as we don't have enough stove space. She also help a organize things at camp, makes sure everyone is safe ,and I know she worries when Dad is gone helping someone. I thinks she wishes she was with him more but. . .

Macey: my dad says Aunt V does a lot for all of us, but she doesn't realize all she does and feels useless.

Zoey: yeah, she thinks Dad could do better.

Macey: that's bullshit!

Penny gasped: Mr. Robinson said we shouldn't use words like that.

Macey: #$@! him.

Penny gasped again.

Zoey: Macey!

Macey: what?

Zoey: the dragons wrath?

Macey: sorry Penny.

Zoey: sorry, penny. Macey had a rough past.

Penny: alright. Just please use only nice words. Mr Robinson said nice words are the only ones worth using.

Macey mentally gagged but kept an apologetic look.

Zoey: enough on that. How are things with you and your mom, Penny?

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Note: This post needs to be changed. Though Penny was taught to not use slang terms, she did not live a sheltered life. She heard it all.

Will change. I didn't say she hadn't hear it but figure she was taught it was wrong to use it, as most kids should be. There is a difference between sheltered and being taught something is not good to use and kids shouldn't swear.

Out of the three I'd have figured penny to have been taught better. Macey had no teaching in a place swearing was used freely and zoey was pretty much a slave and in training so she'd have heard it but slaves who talk back get beat so she'd be less inclined to swear.

RPG :

Zoey: she said Dad deserves a wild, beauty, who is strong and who can fight by his side with a natural grace.

Macey: isn't she describing herself?

Zoey: she doesn't see herself as beautiful, nor does she see how Mich dad loves her. I can see it in his eyes. She thinks he wants a wild cat of a woman.

Macey: my dad says when she's pissed off or thinks uncle Hondo is in danger she can be a force to be reckoned with.

Macey: I've seen plenty of women who thought they were beautiful and weren't. Aunt V is hot.

Zoey : that's weird.

Macey: what's weird?

Zoey: calling my mom hot.

Macey: it's true though.

Zoey: yeah, but it just sounds weird still.

Macey: whatever. I think, though, it's better to be humble about your looks than to be overly proud.

Zoey: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

"Mr. Robinson said I'm beautiful and he said that the woman who would adopt me would think that I'm beautiful too." She does not know this; Penelope was genetically engineered to look like the main avatar in Jeanette's favorite video game, Vanellope von Schweetz.

"Penny, you're mom called me a cute ragamuffin." Macey recalls when she first met Fernando, Jeanette and the rest of the party.

"Why did my mom call you a ragamuffin?" Penny asks.

"When we first met my hair looked like a mop." Macey answers.

Zoey: and you still are a quite ragamuffin!

Zoey pinched Macey's cheek as she said that. If looks could kill the look Macey gave Zoey would have had Zoey dead and decomposed.

Zoey and penny giggled at the look.

Macey: OK, enough of that. How about when your dad reached you? I saw you guys come into camp but you never talk about what happened before.

Zoey: I'd rather not talk about it.

Macey: awe, come on.

Penny: I'd like to hear about it.

Zoey: no.

Macey: don't be a spoil sport.

Zoey: drop it , Macey!!

Macey: what could be so bad about being rescued?

Zoey: I said DROP IT!!!

Macey: come on! I tell you all about my past.

Penny: May've it was bad, Macey, and she does not like to think about that day.

Macey: it can't be that bad. It's not like someone tried to rape you or anything.

Zoey hung her head and turned her back to them so they couldn't see the tears start to flow, but they could her her try to sniff and her breath shutter.

Penny: oh dear.

Macey: Zoey? Zoey, I didn't know. Shit, I'm sorry Zoey, I really didn't have a clue. Dad just said slavers were trying to kill you, Tonya, and Karl. He didn't say. . .

Zoeut: two of them tried. I got split from Tonya and Karl when we made a break for it. The slavers killed the others and came after me. I. . . I couldn't . . .couldn't run any more. I. . . They. . .they threw me down and held me to the ground and tore my clothes off.. .I was so scared and embarrassed, and. . .

Macey: Zoey. . I m so sorry.

Penny : that is horrible!

Zoey: I closed my eyes and gave up hope. Then I heard a yell and a gun shot.

Penny: you dad?

Zoey: he wasn't then but he was my hero. One of the guys hit the ground beside me, he was the one holding me down then his gun boomed again and fire flew from it's barrel and the other went down. It's. . .all a blur and was in slow motion. I can still see the hate in his eyes for those animals and the concern when he looked at me. He spoke to me so calmly and in a low voice. He didn't say much but I knew I was safe. I thought I was dead until that moment.

Macey gave her friend a quick hug.

Macey: I'm sorry. I'd not have pushed you if I had any clue.

"I didn't know either." Penny says. "No one, not even Mr. Winston, the other Spirits or Mr. Robinson told me. Actually they didn't tell much about the woman who would adopt me or anything about the group she was going to travel with."

"You were told about your mom even before you met her?" Macey asks.

"That's right. That is what I've been told for years by Mr. Robinson and the Spirits. Jeanette Miller will be here and that she wanted to adopt an immortal girl. I got immortality last year before school started."

"Wait a minute." Macey continues. "You became an Immortal because the mom you haven't met yet wanted you to be an Immortal?"

"That's what they said." Penny answers.

Val walks into the camper and sees what is going on. Though the 'crew was cooking' the girls in the bedroom was a bit too quiet. As she puts away the supplies, she finds the kitten 'Kitty' huddled hidden in a corner, and picks it up before realizing that it should be in the bedroom and not out where somebody could accidentally step on her. She heads to the bedroom of the camper and opens the door, "What's going on in here?!"

- - - - - - -

Several miles south of town, several High Speed/High Powered Speeders line the train tracks. Several people get out and do work on the rails, cleaning up accumulated crap from the rail beds that covers the rails and can derail a trail

With this part of the track clear, they are finally able to ride into town, connecting the next southern town with the north.
