"Interesting," I said, "I guess I'm very different from you guys." I guess it was a poor choice of words, as I was forced to look down five pairs of eyes; Valley is sensitive to others.

"Yes...well," I stammered out, "I didn't mean THAT! I just mean that, while Benji likes the nightime, and Laura and Kori like the night, there isn't a specific time that I'm most active. Anytime I get to sing, or anytime I can just compete with someone, is when I'm active. I want a challenge, I need a challenge, I live on challenge."

"You like to sing? How's your voice?" I turned down to Valley, the one who sprung that question.

"My teacher says I've got real talent. I can sing in any number of ranges and voices, and, with some effort, I can actually sound quite feminine. I like to be versatile," I responded with some pride, granted I put up with abuse about the feminine part, but I think it's a real talent.

"Would you like to sing right now?"

"Naw, I don't want to attract attention. Besides, I don't think I know any songs that you would be interested in."
