"I guess. The idea of space is cooler than the idea of Canada, I mean, I can't make an objective comparison, I haven't been to all of Canada."

"I bet most of Canada is more fun than most of space!"

She considers this. "To live in, maybe. I bet if you live somewhere on Earth that isn't Canada it'd be more fun to visit space than Canada."

"No, but most of space is empty and boring, and most of Canada at least has, like, geographic features," he explains. "So maybe going to space is cool, but then you can't really do much there except be in space. Between being in a random part of space and being in a random part of Canada I'd pick Canada."

"Okay but if you're visiting space you wouldn't pick a random part."

"No, we're going to Battle School, but I think Battle School is mostly cool for reasons besides being in space."

"I don't think this counts as visiting, though, we were talking about visiting."

"Anyway I'm just goofing off, space is cool."

"Yeah!"

Giggle.

Bounce. "I wonder what it'll be like."

"Space, or Battle School?"

"Battle School."

"Well, I'm going to have fun."

"Yes, but like, what kind of fun."

"I don't know yet!" he says, cheerfully.

"Then how do you know you'll have it?"

He just laughs.

She giggles.

He beams at her.

She grins back. "I like you!"

"I like you too! Let's be friends!"

"Okay!"

Beam.

Grin.

"So where're you from?"
