Michael took an M&M. He looked at Laura holding the M&M as if it were fragile. "Don't worry they melt in your mouth not in your hand." He said. He felt so weird talking to this girl that he didn't know. "Ah. Well this is worse than boot camp was." he said turning away and looking around for anyone he may of role played with. He knew Sue but hadn't noticed anyone that stuck out.

He smiled as he shook her hand. "Thanks." he said in response to the guy. "So, what're we going to do with these M&Ms?" he said, holding it in his hand.

Jackson looked over at Sue and back at Jordan "I have no idea"

Straightens goggles.looks around. "What to do...."

"Now that everyone has one." Sue held up her brown M&M. "We're going to play a game. The color if your M&M decides what information you share with the group. Hopefully this well start some conversation. If you feel uncomfortable remember that the reason come here was to get to know the people you enjoy spending time with. If your M&M is red you will share your hobbie. If your M&M is green your favorite place to go. Brown M&M means you will be sharing your favorite memory. Yellow means you will share your dream job and orange M&M means you can shared whatever you want. I'll start. My favorite memory would have to be... Meeting my husband. We were working at a catolog call center. He walked into a wall. Who would like to go next."

Raises hand. "I-I would like t-too"

Raises hand. "I-I would like t-too"

"Go ahead." Sue encouraged.

Takes out a brown M&M. "Well....meeting my favorite author Erin Hunter and Her signing my Bluestars Prophecy book" says rather quickly.

Michael looked at the M&M in his hand. It was orange. He stood up and said "I have orange and I will share my favorite memory. Ha I didn't think it would be hard to think of one but it kind of is." He said smiling looking at his M&M and then at everyone. "Okay... I guess one of my favorite memories would be this one Christmas when my uncle Scott was over. It was getting late and he was about to leave and I hated when he left because i loved him so much. He was my hero. My superman... anyway before he left he decided he had to use the bathroom. While he was in the bathroom my step father came home. He use to abuse my mom a lot because he was a drug addict and was never in the right state of mind. So when he came home he was upset at my mother for some stupid reason as always and put his hands on my mom. I snapped out of bed when i heard him hit her.this happened often and I never liked it and I would always make sure it never got to bad and turn his attention towards me before it could. This time he was unlucky though because my uncle was there. My uncle came flying out of the bathroom and threw my step dad against the front door in which was made of metal. My step dad fought back but my uncle was too strong for him and my uncle landed a few punches on him before my mother could break it up. she begged my uncle to stop and he said fine and said he would stop when my step dad left. My step father turned around and left the apartment. Uncle Scott stayed a while longer to make sure he didn't come back. That night my uncle talked to my mom and convinced her to leave him. I didn't see my step father for a few years, but that night i decided I wanted to be just like uncle Scott. I wanted to be strong and protect the ones I loved like him and have a big heart that everyone loved me for, just like him. That might not seem like a very happy story but... it's one of my favorites." Michael looked around embarrassed as he realized his eyes were tearing then sat and wiped his eyes.

Myah soon found the action, wow. It was full of people, they were all so different. She kind of liked that, it was...new. She pulled at the sleeve of her nicest dress and looked around at the others, some were sharing stories, and a lot were just silent. She grimaced, of course she was late, she could barely make it to homeschool on time. How would she make it to a convention? She gently cleared her throat, backing up into a corner and waiting.

Jordan stepped up, and pulled out a yellow one. He didn;t like the taste of yellow M&Ms very much. "Well, obviously me being young makes it so that I still have a lot of time to think, but overall, I just want to go out and get a job designing Video Games." he said as he shrugged, then steped back a bit.

Listens to everyone's answers.

"So far so good." Sue encouraged the group. She knew it was hard for them to open up. But she wasn't looking for the secrets of the galaxy. She wanted to know the people who mnafe up the guild. The ones that made her day interesting. "Who's next?"

Kyra stepped forward. "I.. I have green.." she thought for a moment. "My favorite place to go has been.... Sweden to visit my father at his work..."

Laura stared at Michael and quickly looked down at her M&M. It made her sad that Michael's mom had been abused. Domestic violence was not a light issue. . She and her son had lived in a homeless shelter because of an abusive husband, after all. She had grabbed a red M&M, "My favorite hobby is probably role playing or playing chess, which I'm not too good at--but I'm getting better," she blushed, making a whispered, sheepish laugh.

"my husband loves to play chess. Unfortantly I can't remember the rules. My mind is like swizz cheese. A lot of thigs fall through the holes never to be seen again." Sue joked.

Michael smiled and said "I like to play chess. I'm not the greatest but I used to play with my uncle a lot. He said it was a good game to learn and to be able to understand strategy." Micheal looked around and listened to see what everyone else were sharing. He couldn't believe he opened up like that. It was never easy for him to share his past.

"Strategy has me er been my strong suit." Sue told him warily. "I tend to react before I think. Which can have its draw backs but its worked for me for the most part."
