Laura nodded. "Well, Ray, I'll see what I can do to help you out...though it's important to remember that we're still human -- we still make mistakes. Though, hopefully, they don't lead to interstellar incidents." She smiled.

"Anders," he said, then paused. "Samuel Anders, but I just go by my last name, pretty much. I'm in this class because . . . well, I thought it would be a good idea to branch out. Can't be just a dumb jock all my life."

"I'm Cally," she said. "I'm here cause, umm, well, I thought I recognized the name of the teacher as someone from the colonies. And I was right, so, yay!"

"Welcome to the class, Cally." The former president couldn't help the smile that spread across her lips. It really was interesting to see Cally before the pressures of the war got to her, to see her young and enthusiastic again.

Anders leaned over in Cally's direction and saluted with his pencil. "Okay, whippersnapper, you win. Should've made a bet on it, then I'd have to pay up."

"You don't need to lose any more bets," Cally said with a chuckle. "I'll just go with a smug 'I told you so'."

"I guess it wasn't," Cally said. "So, looks like the class'll be fun, huh?"
