The next day, after having had a great night’s sleep, Theo arrived with Ruby at the Sensorium, eager to carry on with his companion training. When they walked in, two seats had already appeared and First Mentor was awaiting their arrival.

‘Before we continue today,’ said First Mentor, ‘I thought you would like to know that the third representative from your world has arrived to commence with his orientation. I thought that you would like to meet him before you continue with your training.’

Immediately, a doorway appeared and in walked an oriental looking boy of about thirteen or fourteen years of age.

‘Hello,’ he said with a big confident smile and outstretched hand. ‘I’m Weng Lim.’

‘Rubina Chaudhry,’ said Ruby, beaming and shaking his hand.

‘Hey, nice grip Rubina,’ said Weng, looking down at his squashed hand.

‘Call me Ruby,’ she said, shaking it even more vigorously.

‘Ruby it is,’ said Weng. Then he pulled his hand free and turned to Theo.

‘You are The-op-olis, yeh?’

‘Last time I looked,’ said Theo, grinning.

‘Yeh, right. What is that name, is that Greek or something?’ said Weng.

‘Yeh, I think so. But please, call me Theo.’

‘Theo it is. How you doin buddy?’

‘I’m doing good,’ said Theo, shaking his hand quickly.

‘Is that a bit of an American accent, Weng?’ said Ruby.

‘Yeh, it is,’ said Weng. ‘I’m from a city called Harbin in North Eastern China. But I’ve spent the last few years in America, with my Dad. New York City, actually.’

‘I’m from Lower Pinton, England,’ said Theo, trying to sound impressive but failing miserably.

‘Never heard of it,’ said Weng. ‘Is it near London?’

‘About half an hour by train,’ said Theo.

‘Oh, just on the outskirts then,’ said Weng.

‘Erm, yeh, I guess,’ said Theo. ‘It’s…’

‘If I may interrupt,’ said First Mentor, ‘Weng, may I now ask you to accompany Orientator. It is time to have your companion installed.’

‘Good luck with that,’ said Theo.

‘Thanks,’ said Weng. ‘I don’t know what they are, but I’m just following orders.’

‘Better take a bucket then,’ said Theo.

‘Theo,’ whispered Ruby, nudging him hard in the arm. ‘Don’t put him off.’

‘Why do I need a bucket?’ said Weng, suddenly looking a little anxious.

‘Well one of us couldn’t take it,’ said Ruby sarcastically. ‘Made him sick.’

‘Oh,’ said Weng, his smile rapidly disappearing from his face. ‘Well erm, hey it’s good to meet you guys. Maybe we’ll catch up later.’

‘Sure thing, Weng,’ said Ruby.

‘Later mate,’ said Theo.

Weng turned and left the room following Orientator, who, as usual, was already striding off down the corridor.

‘Well done, Theo,’ said Ruby. ‘Good thinking. Put the guy off before he even gets started.’

‘I was only warning him,’ said Theo. ‘No harm in that.’

‘Would you have gone in if somebody had told you that beforehand? I seem to remember you were complaining quite a bit. Wouldn’t have gone through with it if good old Rubes hadn’t been around.’

‘Oh my hero,’ said Theo smirking.

‘Better believe it,’ said Ruby.

‘If I may continue,’ said First Mentor, ‘I need to give you an overview of the companion so you are aware of the facilities available.
