“What’ll you do now, Don?” Tony asked from where he leaned against the locker.

Don shrugged. He put the hanger holding his shirt on the locker rack. “I dunno. Stay here, I guess. Hope for the best. What else can I do? It’s not like I’m going to run away. I don’t want to give them a reason to throw me out.” Pants followed the shirt into the locker. He turned toward the two of them. Tyson looked bored, Tony concerned. “It’s out of my hands, so there’s no use worrying about it.” Don shut the locker door.

Tyson perked up at the noise. He jumped off the bed and flung an arm around each of their shoulders. “Come, my spacelings. I shall show you the wonders of this world called Earth. Ask me all your questions, and I shall feed your deprived minds.”

Don looked at Tony, who gave him a look of mock despair. Don laughed and ducked out from under Tyson’s arm. “Spacelings? You’re one to talk!”

“I’ll have you know I’ve been to Earth at least three times in my life, maybe four.”
