Valentine's Day was very interesting. I tried all kinds of foods I did not know existed! At the end of the day, they gave me an injured stomach. But I believe it was a small price to pay for discovery.

I have also been doing a lot of research about words. I have learned that many students on this planet refer to their teachers as "Ms.", "Mrs.", and "Mr.", so I will start doing that as well.

Ms. Aran! Even though I am very, very used to calling you "Samus Aran", I am now your student and so I must show you the respect that this planet demands!

Another thing. I have made a friend. Her name is Maisy. She has a large amount of hair.

I got distracted. This is what I meant to say-- Mr. Highwind told me about his airship, the Highwind, and I told him I wanted to see it, and I told him about my space pod, and he said he wanted to see that too. So what I am going to do is bring my space pod onto the school campus.

Mr. Headmaster, am I allowed to live on campus? I am the opposite of concerned that it could mean more candy and cookies. It will also make it easier to do my homework for Mr. Freeman's class with the lab so close to me. And I will spend so much time in the autoshop. I would like to spend a very large amount of time there, it smells like familiarity.

You're, uh.

[Hm.]

You're more than welcome to help out in the autoshop. If you like.

[dachopunk]

Mr. Falcon. We have met, very quickly. I was in my natural form. I am very small, and green. I have feathers. I love your autoshop.

[raced_god]

I remember that. And you know Ms. Aran.

[dachopunk]

Yes! She saved my life and also my mother's life! It was an honor to finally meet her.

[raced_god]

On Zebes.

[BEFORE IT

BLEW UP]

[icequeen_aran]

[BEFORE... IT BLEW UP...]

[dachopunk]

On Zebes.

[Before it blew up.]

And aided in our relocation.

[WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT VALENTINES DAY.]

You're learning a lot!

[SAMUS IS SO PROUD.]

I'm sure we can get the Headmasters to squeeze you in a room. Maybe you could even be put together with your friend Maisy. Would you like that?

[dachopunk]

I am. There is a lot to learn!

I would... like that! A lot! I think only if she wanted to. I should ask her.

[icequeen_aran]

[Ever important question time:]

Does she have a humanoid form?

[dachopunk]

Yes, she does. She is a Mareep usually. But sometimes she is a girl that makes her words looooong. Her hair is the same color as yours.

[icequeen_aran]

Ah, I've seen her around then.

[As any vigilant teacher/bounty hunter should be at least superficially aware of their surroundings/who's on the rosters.]

[dachopunk]

She is my friend. She gave me chocolate for the first time. I looked up chocolate, and it hurts your teeth if you eat too much. I will try not to eat too much.

[icequeen_aran]

Good sentiment--it's the not brushing your teeth part that will do the most dental damage, though.

[A PAUSE...]

...You have been brushing your teeth, right?

[dachopunk]

... I have to admit that I did not at first, but I started to soon after my transformation. It still feels very strange.
