You knock on the door marked "Matthew".  No one answers.  You
                                       knock again, with the same result.  You are just about to turn around and
                                       continue on, when you here a loud screech.

                                            "Matthew!! Get back here you little..."  the voice trails off and you
                                        hear someone laughing.

                                            You peak your head around the corner to see what is going on.  You
                                        see a young boy, about 14 turns running at you, followed by a green
                                        firelizard and a fuming girl.  The boy has sandy blond hair,  hazel eyes
                                        and a playful smile on his face.  From the look on the girl's flour
                                        covered face and the grin on his, you guess he probably deserves what
                                        ever happens to him when she catches him.  In you speculation you
                                        forget that both of the youth are charging at you.  The boy,  intent
                                        on the girl behind him, doesn't see you.  The crash is a rather
                                        spectacular sight.

                                            You moan.  "Ughhh.... please get off."

                                            The boy groans.  "Ughhh....sorry."  He gets to his knees and is
                                        confronted immeadiatly by the girl.

                                            "Serves you right, Matthew."  She says, scolding him.  Her voice
                                        gets a gentler tone to it.  "Sorry for the trouble, Matthew never pays
                                        attention to where he's going."  She glares at the bruised youth.

                                            "Ah, shards Feena.  It was an accident.  And if you weren't chasing
                                        me, I wouldn't have run into anybody."  You smile.

                                            Feena, the girl, suddenly remembers why she was chasing Matthew.
                                        "You have a big mess to cleam up in the kitchen or Media's gonna kill
                                        both of us."

                                           Matthew attempts an air of innocense, but the smile gives him away.
                                        "It wasn't my fault, I told you.  It was Kar's."  The firelizard, who you
                                        assume to be Kar, flys into the air slightly annoyed at being blamed for
                                        Matthew's prank.

                                            Feena glares at him,  deciding whether he's really in pain or just
                                        faking it to get out of cleaning up.  Deciding he's really hurt she helps
                                        him into his room.  You guess that the two don't hate each other as much
                                        as you first thought.  You try to get up and discover an unwanted,
                                        unexpected pain in your side.  Feena looks over to you and sighs.

                                            "We're really sorry about this, if you'd wait in Matthew's room with
                                        him, I'll get Celeste."

                                            You limp your way over to Matthew's bed, where he's already sitting
                                        and Feena disappears.

                                            "Who's Celeste?"  You ask, being new here, you haven't met
                                        everyone.

                                            "She's the healer.  Don't worry, she's very good at what she does."
                                        He talks like he should know.

                                            "Get into trouble often?"  You ask, playfully.

                                            Mattew grins at you and Kar lands on his lap.  "Define trouble."
                                        You both laugh.

                                            You look around the boy's room.  It's small and nearly empty.  A
                                        wooden chest sits under the window and a bed, which you're sitting on,
                                        sits against the wall opposite the entrance.  "Are you a candidate?"
                                        You ask, he's in a candidate room, but he seems to young.

                                            "Yep,"  He grins.

                                            "Where?"

                                            "Xaviea Weyr.  Wanna hear how I was searched?"

                                            You answer and then lean back against the wall.

                                            Feena returns with Celeste.  Celeste patches you up and you turn to
                                        leave.  "Good luck with the impression,  Matthew."  He smiles then
                                        groans as Celeste starts bandaging his ankle and lecturing him.  When
                                        you get to the end of the hall you hear another shout.

                                            "MATTHEW, FEENA.  GET DOWN HERE BOTH OF YOU!!!!
                                        DO YOU REALIZE THE MESS YOU'VE MADE!"  You grin,
                                        wondering how Matthew will get himself out of this one.
