The School Grounds
...a spaceship hovered overhead. For the expert, there was no mistaking the sleek lines of the Belinda Mae XVII, and that said clearly who had arrived. A beam of light shone down from the ship, and Kinexa Goddard floated down with it.
She was dressed casually, in shorts that revealed the vents along her legs and a short-sleeved shirt that was tight enough to reveal her form; the colors set off her blue-green skin well, and the numerous antennae that protruded from her head waved a short distance above her long indigo hair. She had a bag over her shoulder, a suitcase in one hand, and a blaster pistol on her hip. (That might be against school rules, she realized belatedly, but it was too late to worry about now.)
*No, I'm fine, Dad,* she sent telepathically. *This whole thing is still ridiculous, but compared to everything we've faced, school is nothing. Really. Don't worry so much.*
She'd never actually been to an Earth school before, but that didn't actually worry her. She knew full well that she'd be able to pick up social cues easily enough, largely from the minds of her fellow students and teachers. She therefore picked up her things and went to the billboard to figure out where to go first.
