Ben

While I searched for Amber in Water Territory, Barry remained in his room.

A fresh blanket of snow fell shortly after we left, covering everything in sight and changing the once-brown landscape outside into a winter wonderland.

The campus was tranquil, with most of the student body having already left for the break. The sight of snowflakes glistening under the campus lights, particularly those reflecting off the lake, was stunning.

As I neared the Water dormitories, I noticed that the bridge leading to them was coated with snow. I used my hot air without hesitation to melt a path through. Amber and Ellen’s dorm was the closest to the bridge and the lake, and I could see the lights on inside from afar.

Amber appeared surprised to see me when she answered the door. “Ben? What are you doing here?” she asked with surprise.

“To take you back home with me. Michael told us. You can’t stay here, you know that,” I told her.

“Well, I can’t stay at home either,” she said as she stepped back to let me in, and I was surprised to see boxes that weren’t there before. I’d just been in their dorm the day before.

“Well, we are your sponsors, so come on. Grab what you can, and we’ll head back to Barry’s dorm,” I told her. “If you don’t come now, my parents will come get you. So you might as well come with me now. What happened anyway?”

“I did try sending you a message on the faecomm. I didn’t know if you had a letterbox, but the faecomm message wouldn’t send. And why do they have cameras when it’s so grainy? Phones don’t need cameras on them; it’s dumb. I don’t understand why you guys love them so much. The internet on it is slower than the dial-up we have back home.”

“Well, they’re prototypes. They can’t be perfect,” I responded, unsure why it mattered, “and Ellen said they’ll be very common in the Mortal Realm in less than ten years. They’ve been working on it for a while, and we like to be more advanced than mortals, so they were put out fast. Give it a few years, and you’ll see how convenient they are.”

She laughed. “I prefer the letterboxes because they’re faster. I wrote to Michael less than a half hour ago, and you’re here already.”

“Did you leave Ellen’s address out?” I asked her, and she nodded.

“I’m not sure why, though. She told me she saw me leaving it on my bed, so I did. I didn’t leave a note for my family, so maybe that’s why.”

“Well, what do you want to take?” I asked, looking around the room.

“Only the clothing and some other things I brought home with me,” she said, grasping the handle of a battered red suitcase with wheels. “But are you certain? I don’t want to ruin your Christmas or anything.”

“My parents will make you if I don’t. Our sponsors stay with us all the time,” I reminded her. “They have a room prepared for you.
