...Merlin, was she really that early? Even earlier than the rest of the punctual nerds who had badges? Was this the kind of life she had chosen for herself - being the FIRST to the prefects' compartment and practically ensuring that she was a huge nerd?

Yes. Yes, it seemed it was. And it was fitting, really, but it still made her a little uneasy. What if she just... left? What if she just didn't show up and no one knew she had been made prefect then? Left it a mystery to all?

...Naaaah. She was gonna eat this up, even if just until everyone arrived.

Making herself comfortable in the vacant compartment, Sophie Brown took up residence on a bench and spread out, her legs laying across the length of the bench and her back against the windows, facing the compartment door and her very REAL prefect badge pinned to her chest. No Head Nerd badge pinned to her chest this time, though it may have been in her pocket. Ahem.

Time to PARTY.

Okay so yes, he HAD made the executive decision to avoid the Prefects compartment. Not that he didn't like the others or anything, but it was just... You know... After everything that went down last term and...

Actually, he didn't really have a great reason for avoiding the compartment. Lottie had said that it wasn't a requirement and in all honesty, he much rather spend the train ride with the likes of Sophie Brown and-- Oh. That is where this introduction was going. Yes. Sophie Brown. Sophie Brown of Ravenclaw House. Sophie Brown new PREFECT of Ravenclaw House. That is exactly why he was walking into this particular compartment today.

Luckily, Prefects were at the front so it wasn't that hard to find the compartment. A very easy journey and there were plenty of empty seats in--SOPHIE. And that's when a big goofy grin made it's way onto his face as he pulled open the door and stuck his head in. "Hey Prefect," and best friend ahem "can I sit with you in your compartment?" Sophie deserved to be prefect more than anyone in the whole world. Zander believed that whole-heartedly. It was her compartment this whole time.

Sophie was watching the door of the prefects' compartment VERY intently, placing mental bets on who would come next - Adi was a massive goody-goody and would undoubtedly not be much longer, and the same went for Mari, actually... and she wouldn't place bets on seeing Gabe at all, in fact, especially now that he had lost CB as his partner... and...

Well, she would have been lying if she had said she didn't want Zander Adair to arrive next. There was something deep within her that wanted him there with her, right now, and then they could lock the door and keep everyone else (except for Tobes, who could come along by invitation) out and enjoy the ride together without a care in the world...

So when the Gryffindor in question was the next face to appear in the doorway, Soph's entire posture relaxed and a wide smile spread across her face, and she laughed at his choice of greeting. "I suppose, if you insist." Hehehe. She reached for his hand, beckoning him to come closer, and she removed her legs from the seat to give him room to sit beside her.

"There. Now it's our compartment." Prefect best frieeeeeeeends.

Very glad that it was, in fact, Sophie Brown who had been in the compartment. Awkward side conversations with Gabe always felt uncomfortable, since they didn't really know each other outside of prefect duties. Adi and Puck were fine, but didn't really know Caleb and Beverly. And... Marigold was another story all together even though she was really nice. So yes. This couldn't have worked out any better. Who would've thought that Zander Adair showed up early!?

He only waiting by the door a few moments longer before walking in, Azalea on her leash right behind him. He quickly closed the door before letting her loose (hopefully none of the others would mind a crup running in circles within the closed compartment ahem). "Sooo..." his eyes traveled onto her robe, where the badge rested. "How does it feel?" He gave her a small shoulder nudge as he sat down right next to her, making sure to keep an eye on Azalea all the while.

Merlin. It's like this cruppy never set foot on a train before.... Only she had.... Last term? So why in Merlin's name was she so excited about this. On second thought.... Maybe he shouldn't have let her go off the leash? Gabe would probably be unhappy about it, didn't really strike Zander as a creatures guy. He was sure the others wouldn't say anything. But just to be sure, he bent down and scooped the crup into his lap.

Crup crup CRUUUUUUP.

Sophie went from making grabby hands at Zander to making grabby hands for the crup as soon as Azalea came into view, and Sophie giggled and pet the precious creature softly when she settled on Zander's lap. "Hi, friend. Nice to see you again." She was talking to Azalea, of course, but did turn her gaze up to meet the Gryffindor's and offered him a grin at his questioning.

"No different. Still gotta put up with you, so..." Hehehehehe. "Life is terrible, clearly." She left Azalea alone, then, and readjusted her sitting position, now sitting pretzel-style with her legs tucked under her and her hands clasped in her lap. "We should have, like, a buffet in here. Like a pre-feast feast. Get a caterer in here. I could go for some spaghetti right now," she rubbed her tummy, her expression very serious.

With a big ol' hint of not being serious at all.

And just like that, she was bouncing a little on the spot, all kinds of electrified and elated. "B'you pumped and ready to go? Ready to be an UNSTOPPABLE trio with me 'n Tobes this term?" Cue the wiggly eyebrows. They were gonna have ALL the fun.

Zander didn't need Kevin to have a good time.

"Puck Greyvson" entered the Prefects compartment her blonde hair flowing behind her and a confident red smile painted on her pert little face. She turned her body, a bit too quickly as Cutty wasn't used to being this light and found that both hands worked more ideally for shutting the door to the compartment after himself.

"Hi Zander! Hi Sophie! Congratulations on getting prefect!", Puck smiled and took a seat finding the Ravenclaw female prefect an interesting choice. This made seven out of eight prefects he knew well enough. He was sure that would come in handy at some point. His clothes were a bit ill-fitting, as he'd lifted them out of someone's luggage, a 4th year by the look of it. He'd been able to engorgio the shirt, but let the skirt go. When you had legs like an amazon it never hurt to display them. "Have you two seen any of the other prefects?" She said, remembering at that precise moment to cross her legs.

This being a witch thing got easier and easier each time Cutty did it.

Gus perched on his head? Check!

The guy bestie in tow? Check!

To the Prefects' compartment they went! Adi had, after all, told Benny he would at one time take him to check out the Compartment. The bespectacled boy poked his head in. "Heya, guys!'' he said brightly noticing Zander, Puck and... Sophie. "Sophieeee! Congrats on being prefected! Welcome to the club!'' She got a broad grin before Adi turned his attention to Azalea. He had not officially met the crup yet but Zander had told him all about the crup. "Hey, Azalea!'' Would she want to be patted by him? Anywayyy, "I brought Benny with me. Thought I'd show him where we hang out on the train ride.'' And Adi knew no one would mind.

So they were on the train!

That's when it all got real for the start of term. No turning back and no further connection to the outside world of Hogwarts except breaks and owls. His said owl was currently perched on his shoulder deciding to behave as Ben himself followed Adi to the front of the train. As much as it had been promised by his best friend, he still felt a touch awkward heading to the prefects compartment.

Couldn't be all bad...right? He get along with a decent number of the student leaders. And brought by one.

The Gryffindor waited as Adi made his appearance by head, actually following the Hufflepuff inside when he had entered. "Hey..." he said simply as he half-closed the door behind him out of habit. There was his fellow sixth years, Puck and Zander, as well as Sophie in the mix. Wait...hadn't there been another eagle?

How come every time he brought a cruppy along, that's all the girls every cared about. It was a reoccurring theme in his life, it seemed. Next time he bought an animal, he was gonna buy an ugly looking one. That way there would never be this problem ever again. Just sayin'.

"Hey!" he gave her another little nudge of the elbow 'cause RUDE, Sophie Brown. Except of course she was only kidding. But still. Ruuuuuuude. He gave her a funny little look as she continued though, and tried to make it clear that he thought she was absolutely ridiculous. "A pre-feast feast?" he repeated giving her another funny look in response. "Y'know, if you're really hungry..." Which he knew she was kidding about entirely, but decided to go along with. "I've got tons of chocolate frogs." And Zander Adair didn't just offer chocolate frogs to anyone, okay? They were in high demand. Still with Azalea on his lap, he reached into his pocket to grab one of said chocolates and tossed it onto her lap. BEAM.

"Yeah, I guess I am," he laughed a bit at the immense energy she had. It was a good thing though. She'd need it if this feast was anything like the last few. "Tobes is really nice," he nodded. "And you're okay, I guess." He gave her a big ol' goofy grin at that. Two can play at this game, seeeeeee?
AAAAANNNNNND he was cut short by the entrance of another Prefect. Secretly Zander had been hoping that some of the others would skip out this time 'cause awkward small talk wasn't really his specialty, you know? But it was only Puck and she was a friend. So Zander immediately smiled over at her, despite what looked like a clumsy entrance. "Hey, Puck," he nodded, turning his attention away from Sophie for the moment being. "Did you have a good summer?"

She was pretty chipper today, huh? You could never really tell with Puck. Sometimes she carried extra sass and then other times she wouldn't stop smiling. "Oh uh, no I haven't. I just got--" And then someone was opening the compartment again and this time it was.... DRUMROLL.... Adi! "Hi, Adi! Thank Merlin. And oh, he brought Benny along? Zander lifted his arm to wave at the Gryffindor boy who was still a few traces behind, entirely forgetting about the fact that he was trying to hold down his cruppy.

His cruppy who not even a second later managed to leap off of Zander's lap and somehow make it onto Puck's.

O_____________O

Oops.

Sophie didn't mind the nudge - she just nudged Zander right back, grinning all the while. It felt good to be with him again in this kind of setting - it felt right to be headed back to school. The only thing that would've made this feel more right was if Tobes was in the compartment with them and he had a very attractive-looking Head Boy badge pinned to his chest.

In a perfect world.

But this was enough - for now, at least - and Soph giggled a little at the Gryffindor's words and offering of a chocolate frog. "Well, y'know me. Always hungry." She wasn't actually ravenously hungry right now, but she wasn't going to turn down a free chocolate frog, so she opened the package, shoving the whole chocolate frog into her mouth, and passed the container back over to Zander, knowing he was an avid collector of the cards. He could have whoever it was. "'anks," she said through her mouthful.

And then he was teasing her. Sophie grinned and poked his ribs in response, and before she could open her mouth and throw a retort back at him, the compartment door was sliding open.

Text Cut: Cutty!Puck, Adi, Benny

Couldn't be all bad...right? He get along with a decent number of the student leaders. And brought by one.

The Gryffindor waited as Adi made his appearance by head, actually following the Hufflepuff inside when he had entered. "Hey..." he said simply as he half-closed the door behind him out of habit. There was his fellow sixth years, Puck and Zander, as well as Sophie in the mix. Wait...hadn't there been another eagle?

"Hi Puck," the Ravenclaw replied with a smile, but otherwise unenthusiastically. "Thanks."

It wasn't that she didn't like Puck, it was just... she was trouble, okay? Though she couldn't place a finger on why, Sophie just couldn't trust the girl. Maybe it was considering her detention history or the part she played in the tragedy last term or how Sophie was jealous that Zander wasn't her own co-prefect...

...Ahem. Not that she would ever say that aloud. But maybe that was it. Soph just loved her Zander, okay?

As the boy in question began to reply to Puck's inquiry, there was an arrival of two more - Adi and Benny, and both got smiles as Soph scooted a little closer to Zander, subconsciously hugging his arm and cuddling against it. "Hi boys, 'n thanks, Adi." Awfully nice of him.

...Azalea liked Puck quite a bit, didn't she? Merlin.

Yes she was late, well, not that late. Her small arms were wrapped around a set of precariously stacked boxes, most of which were filled with food. They had seven hours till the trip was done, and well, that was a long time. “I brought food” she exclaimed as she somewhat stumbled into the room almost losing one of the scorching hot boxes of pizza that she had brought in with her.

The blonde simply placed the stack of food in the center of the room before plucking a box filled with raspberries and sitting next to herself. Something is weird she glanced at everyone finally before turning and looking at herself….wait, that wasn’t her! THERE WAS AN IMPOSTER?

“Well, I’d never, Puck Greyvson…” she furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at the face and tried to guess who was imposing themselves as her…well, Azal seemed to like her. Still, she turned her head away from herself and glanced over to Zander and Sophie grinning at them both. “Sophie Brown? Congratulations on getting Prefected,” she grinned over to her. “You know since we all are on the seventh floor you should come run rounds with Zander and I – it’ll make things even more awesome I bet” she grinned over to the Ravenclaw girl.

Looking over to Azal one more time Puck just reached her hand over and scratched behind the Puppy’s ear. Leaning closer to herself she muttered “I will find out who you are…and I will burn your stash of hair, got it?” she hissed over to her imposter smirking slightly she added ”if, if you are a friend of mine you are going to make more polyjuice with me.” She nodded directly before grinning at everyone else.

“So how were all of your summers? Sorry I was late getting in here, there was a huge mess – looks like someone stole someone’s clothing and littered it ALL over the luggage compartment.” She nodded before giving Cutty’s amazon leg a hard pat. “So…I brought pizza and fruit and things” she pointed at the boxes of food before popping a raspberry into her mouth and eating it.

Caleb was surprised to find the Prefect's carriage crowded and hoppin with visitors when he finally got around to taking his seat. He'd lost Beans on the platform and had ALMOST had to leave without his beloved rat...but it turns out he had just been sleeping in his trunk the whole time. Tucked into a sock. Silly rat.

He first raised an eyebrow at...Sophie? Or 'Not My Sister Sophie' as he always referred to her in his brain. He glanced at her robes - yup, that was a prefect's badge on there. So no more CB huh? Interesting. He wondered what had happened...before addressing the others in the carriage, he decided to get the delicacies out of the way with her. "Hey Soph - congrats on the badge!" he said with a polite smile. He hoped she didn't mind him calling her Soph. Not that he really cared but you know. Wanting to start out on the right foot and all.

And now to the visitors. There was that Gryffindor kid, who was friends with Adi and probably there as his guest, and then Puck, and some other Gryffindor gi...

WAIT.

Caleb blinked and looked at the Puck who'd just entered the compartment, and the Puck who was already IN the compartment. Blink blink blink. Alright, so which Puck was the real Puck, and WHY was someone impersonating themselves at Puck? Merlin, off to a killer start already this term, eh?

Caleb knew only ONE person who was a big fan of the potion, and he really really REALLY hoped it was NOT said person because that would just be embarrassing for both of them. Embarrassing for Cutty because - Puck was a GIRL and this was just weird. And embarrassing for Caleb because of association. Obviously.

Did...did Puck not CARE or something? Because she was just handing out pizza like it was no big deal that someone was BEING HER and trying to infiltrate the Prefect's carriage for some unknown reason and that was just WEIRD. OR MAYBE THAT WASN'T THE REAL PUCK. THAT was why she was acting so nonchalant. Oh Merlin. He was so confused now.

So should he call Cutty out? Hmm. He was 99.9% sure it was his fellow snake, but didn't want to wrongly accuse someone either. Plus he still wasn't THAT sure which Puck was the real Puck. Instead, he just shook his head and plopped down on an empty seat in the compartment. "Merlin, I don't even WANT to know," he grumbled.

Yes, let the other ones handle this one. Caleb had a trying term last year - he could sit this one out.

"Hey, Zander!'' Adi said, still giving the crup a few pats. "Finally I get to met Azalea.'' This was true even though earlier last term Zander had offered to take him to see the little creature. "No worries, Sophie. So pleased you're with us now.'' Indeed he was... Annnnd there went Azalea's restraint in the form of Zander's arm annnnd there went the crup onto Puck's lap. "Come back here and let me pat you, Azaleaaa!'' Hehe.

The Hufflepuff followed suit (sort of) with Gus still perched comfortably on his head and sat down next to Puck, motioning to Benny to sit too. "Don't be a shy dragon,'' he told his bestie. Back to Puck. He opened his mouth to ask the Gryffindor girl about OWLs but then someone came in announcing they had brought FOOD!

"Hey Pu-'' Adi stared. Was he seeing double?! His head turned to the Puck he was sitting beside. Man, this one had to be a fake Puck because the real Puck ALWAYS brought food for them... Right? His thinking was spot on? Maybe? Anyway, Adi would go with that reasoning. He shot Benny an amused look (since he had quickly recovered from the initial surprise). Exactly WHO was the person behind the imposter Puck? Hmmm.

When the whispered conversation was over between the two Pucks, Adi leaned over to the first one. "Who are you?'' Because that was an IMPORTANT question. Whoever it was had quite a sense of humour and Adi liked it. LOL.

Oh and hello, Caleb! "Hey, Caleb! Ready for another year? Remember Guster?'' The toad had made an unexpected landing on the Slytherin's head during the last train ride.

Zander was the first to respond to them, sending him a wave. Benny went to return it when the crup went to take off from his owner's lap. He in turn moved, ready to go after the pup should it try to escape, especially towards the corridor. However he got a squawk from Conrad for his sudden movements and the crup only got as far as the other lion prefect's lap nearby. Problem averted.

Oh right...the other eagle prefect had graduated! So their fellow sixth year had tajen her place...and returned his casual greeting. "Congrats Sophie..." he said, adding his own congradulations to the Ravenclaw. It was an accomplishment that deserved the praise, even if he was slow on the uptake. He had been more concerned he'd get dirty looks for being there and NOT being a prefect. Benny moved to take a seat of his own following Adi's lead in getting comfortable where they were.

Speaking of prefects, there was Puck entering the compartment...Another Puck.

With food but that wasn't of any interest.

Was was of interest was there were currently two nearly identical 6th year girls in the train compartment.

Benny looked between the two girls trying to make sense of it. Obviously one wasn't really Puck but he was clueless as to who it was, which one was the fake, and why anyone would actually do what they were doing. Judging by Caleb and Adi's reaction it was clear they didn't know what to make of the situation either. He exchanged a look with his best friend, simply shrugging in response.

Why did he get the feeling this could get weird?

Sophie had BIG, grateful smiles for Caleb, Adi, and Benny, all of whom were very kind and sweet and she would've offered her greatest appreciation to them... but there were literally two Pucks in the room. Two. Wasn't one enough to last them all a lifetime? Merlin.

When the second one appeared, Sophie instinctively had felt for her wand in her holster, immediately on edge. Was this the kind of thing Bunz had warned them about last term? Dangers? Shouldn't they all be, like... on VERY high alert here? Both Pucks looked calm as could be, Adi and Benny didn't seem too bothered, and Caleb was indifferent...

But what about the very real THREAT here? What if this WAS bad news? Was no one taking this seriously? Did they need their newest addition to the team to act? Was this some kind of TEST?

If it was, Sophie Brown wasn't going to fail it. So she wasn't going to just sit there and watch to see what happened - she was going to analyze the scenario whether they liked it or not, just in case this WAS some sort of bizarre initiation. Was Bunz monitoring their compartment somehow?

"...Okay, time out. Dunno 'bout you guys, but I need to talk this out. Two Pucks." Announcing her forthcoming speech topic. "That one," she pointed to the first Puck who had arrived, "was clumsy and tried too hard to be nice. Not a significant difference from normal Puck, but worth noting. And the second Puck," she pointed at the one with the food, "brought us food. Which is very good, because I'm hungry, and signifies a sense of familiarity with how things work here. But is that trying too hard to bring a sense of normalcy? And her reaction to seeing the other Puck - totally nonchalant. Unfazed, even. Would the real Puck be so calm? Or is it the impostor being so calm in the face of entering a compartment with Puck already here, and they'd already mentally prepared themselves for being calm and cool upon joining us?" Was it just a trick?

She continued along, speaking entirely too quickly, "In general, though, if there was a Puck impostor with ill intentions, why would they be here? If this impostor was a threat, they would've avoided this compartment because they definitely knew the real Puck would be here. It would've been easy to fool people at the other end of the train, so... this person didn't want to sneak on the train disguised as a student and fool as all - this person wanted to be caught, or they just didn't care and wanted to have fun. If we were in trouble, the person wouldn't have wanted to get found out at the very beginning of our voyage today." Right? "So we can almost certainly deduce that this person isn't a threat, which is what we all should've instinctively been suspicious of when we were seeing double of one of our own, and..." And...? "And... s'just a matter of deciphering which Puck is the real Puck."

Sophie encouragingly nudged Zander's side. "You know her well. Go on, ask the Pucks something only the real one would know." Then they would REALLY know, since they couldn't just ask who was real. Nothing would stop the impostor from playing along and claiming to be the real one anyway, right?

Zander noticed Sophie inching closer, but only looked over at her before his coPrefect entered the compartment for a second time. ”Hey Puck,” he gave her a smile before looking back over to the other Puck who he had been talking to only moments ago. ”Any—WAIT.” HOLD UP PEOPLE.

Yes so everyone else had figured it out a minute ago, but Zander was just now piecing it together. WAS HE SEEING DOUBLE?!?!? How the heck Caleb, Adi, Benny, AND both Pucks were keeping their composure was beyond him. There were TWO Pucks. In ONE compartment. ?????????? Sophie was analyzing this situation at the moment, ‘cause Ravenclaw, but Zander was busy not paying attention to that and trying to wrap his head around this.

???!!!????!!! WHAT ???!!!????!!!!???

”If you’re Puck…” he looked over to previous Puck with a cruppy on her lap, then looked back over to New Puck, ”And you’re Puck…” WHAT? ”You can’t both be Puck?!???” Can they? NO. That is ridiculous. Right? Uh. At this point the Gryffindor was looking quickly between the two, drawing his finger at each as he looked back and forth. WHAT WAS GOING ON? …. Was this some kind of test?

Suddenly he was pulled out of his thoughts and quiet mumbling as Sophie nudged his side. AHEM. He was paying attention this WHOLE ENTIRE time. Mhm. Now uh, what was going on again? Aside from there being TWO Pucks because he got that part….. The REAL Puck? But what if neither of them were the REAL Puck?

”Uh, okay,” he was looking back and forth between the two again. You’d think after an entire year of working side by side with each other, Zander would be able to tell by looks and mannerisms alone. But the squinting and staring was obviously not helping so he was gonna stop that now. Ahem. ”So Puck… And New Puck…” Zander thought for a moment, before remembering something she told him last year in their game of twenty-questions. Puck said she had told hardly anyone so uh… Would she really want it mentioned in front of half of the Prefects and Benny and imposter Puck? Zander decided against it, instead remembering something from over the summer that could possibly be just as revealing.

Ahem. Sorry for taking forever people, Zander was still trying to put two and two together with this whole TWO Pucks thing. ”Puck and I watched a movie together over the summer. Which movie was it?” HA. There were millions of movies out there. Chances that they could guess correctly without really knowing? Slim to none. Nailed it.

But Merlin. Why were there TWO Pucks???

Putty's cherry lips smiled as the puppy joined he..hi...shim by jumping onto Putty's lap. His delicate but long hands wrapped around the beast's head gently and he began to rub and pet the head and neck area, even kissing...Oh, what was it's name? H'mm...If he were Zander (and perhaps one day he would be?) what would he name a puppy? Before he could speculate, though Aditya had said the name out loud. "She's a beautiful girl! Yes she is, isn't she? Beautiful little Azalea!" He cooed at the creature as he'd seen witches do before. Although, it was strangely something Cutty tended to do anyway. "My summer was great, Ad...Zander. How was yours?" He said doing his best to imitate Puck's way of speaking and digesting but not otherwise acting upon the colder greeting from Sophie Brown.


That was when he was joined by himself as his current self. Puck Greyvson, the real one, took a seat next to him bearing raspberries. When she reached over to pet Azalea's little dog head, Putty smirked at the words being spoken. This was why he liked Greyvson. She didn't take things lying down. If someone got in her way, she didn't cry like some chump. She got her revenge. Maybe they could deal afterall. For the meanwhile, he stole a few raspberries taking advantage of the smaller hand and topping each finger tip of the reaching hand with the raspberries making them look like bright little Ottoman courtiers. He winked at himself plopping each berry, one after the other into his mouth. "Of course, Gorgeous."

Then Adi was asking who he was, whilst Caleb probably knew but was being stealth about it probably realizing that information was one of those things best left under the cover of a demiguise cloak. "I'll give you one guess." But just one. So get it right, Adi Rehman. :3

That thing he'd noticed about Sophie and her interaction with Puck came to light in a manner that surprised even Polyjuiced Cutty. Wow, Sophie Brown. Catty much? Also, he found her train of thought to be invaluable. Was this really how people thought? How wonderful was Sophie Brown?

"Very good, Sophie." He said, impressed and appreciative. But who said what wasn't a threat necessarily posed no danger? He considered saying that outloud, because it might be something Puck would say. But he was enthralled with where this would go when left to Adair's able hands.


Puck watched movies. She was into that part of Muggle culture. But what film was her favourite? Cutty actually had no idea. No..wait...no. No, she hadn't ever told him outright. That left him to guess. "The one with the robots and the light swords, Zander." Pause. "Star Wars." The logo helped him to remember the name but the cover art made him consider mentioning the little boy, the fighting robed kappa, the brown yeti and the giant booger. Thank Merlin he occasionally knew when to quit. Occasionally

Puck watched everyone’s reactions as she sat there and casually scoped out the imposter’s reactions. Did she really look that creepy when she winked…Caleb seemed to know what was going on and that was important – of course she grinned when she heard Adi’s reaction.

“Hey Adi, how’s AJ?” She asked kindly before giving his companion and best friend a smile. The laugh clearly sitting below the surface of her grin, “this is a mind trip isn’t it?” She laughed and grinned over to everyone.

Sophie was being intelligent thinking everything out. “Do you really think I try to hard?” She asked not exactly shocked, it wasn’t a common occurrence for her to well, get along with guys more than girls. “But yeah, I brought the food because it’s a seven plus hour train ride? And why not bring something that’ll actually satiate us then well get candies from the food trolley?” She interjected letting in on her plan of not starving or well getting too hyped up on sweets.

“Well that’s just a lucky answer” she snorted when and laughed, “I know you” she muttered over to the imposter…”or well you know me, to an extent which makes me think that we’ve talked and are friends at least?” She muttered and bit the edge of her lip as she thought. “But, really, that wasn’t the only movie that we watched this summer or the only viable way to understanding that I in fact am Puck.” She informed and glanced at everyone in the compartment – the information she was going to supply would make Zander know it was her and that was the important fact.

“So, instead of just answering that I’ll give irrefutable information,” she nodded and grinned. “lets see…one of the movies was Star Wars – specifically with the clones, and another…we also watched Inception.” She grinned. “And really this kind of feels like one of those dreams within a dream thing,” she chuckled, “oh…and last year in the office I told you that I was an orphan and to be a unicorn when I was little and I also wanted to be a dragon for a bit too” she admitted and looked over at everyone.

“I’ve also got a collection of comic books and you gave me some of your favorite comic book super hero stuff for Christmas” she grinned. “it was really cool by the way” she beamed and proceeded to eat more of the raspberries.
