W.I.T (writer in traning)’s comments from the H.A.R.P Program group.

"Dreaming?" Selena took a look at her songbook. God, she hadn't heard that song in eons. It used to be her favorite song, but then... Well, she didn't really listen to that song anymore. She mentally skimmed the song in her head. Yup, she still knew every word. "I haven't done that song in forever," she said, procrastinating. But, if the public wanted it, the public would get it. "But he," she said jovially, forcing an easy smile on her lips. "If you guys want to hear that song, I'll be happy to perform it." She turned back to the counter. "KENDRA!!" She bellowed. "How's that bacon cheeseburger coming on?!" She turned and quickly started assembling her music equipment.

"Hey, um, Chou," Miki stammered. "Um, I brought some, um, classics with me when I, um, came here." Miki wasn't really sure how to proceed. She felt bad for Chou, but it wasn't like she was the only one with a suckish life. "Maybe, you would, um, want to borrow one and read it, if you, um, if you want?" Miki shot a glance at Chou. She felt ashamed after Piper's outburst, and decided to give this whole friendship thing a shot.

"All right Kendra, I'll have a cheeseburger with bacon, fries on the side, and a chocolate shake." Selena marveled at how she managed to order this without thinking Oh my God, I'm going to get fat!!! She turned to El and Layla.
"Did you girls pick any good ones yet?"

Piper stared at the two girls.
"You know what> I've tried." She declared icily. "I've tried to be nice, tried to make you two realize what great friends you two would be. But you guys are too selfish and self-absorbed to realize it. I'me done with this. I'm done." Piper stalked out, slamming the door as she went. Both girls looked at the floor. Miki bit her lip.
"I'm sorry about your grandmother."

Miki glared at Chou.
"A bully? she hissed. "You wanna know what I had to go through Chou? Because I can tell you. Chou darling," Miki stepped close to Chou. "There are two types of bullies. There are bullies who bully just to be mean, and there are bullies who bully because they've been bullied. I, dear Chou, belong in Category Two. My dad moved to goddamn Russia, my mother drinks and doesn't give a shit about me, all of her husbands are slimebags. Husband Numero Uno tried to send me off to boarding school, Husband Numero Dos tried to fucking rape me, and Husband Numero Tres starting beating me up, then got me sent to H.A.R.P.! And Chou, show me one time you have said a kind word to me! You're so quick to judge, but maybe you should take a look in the mirror and fix yourself first!" Miki was breathing heavily. Piper calmly stepped between the two girls.
"Chou, Miki, I understand both of your situations. But, before you two decide you're enemies, take a moment and see if you can be friends."

Miki glanced at Chou again.
"What's the matter China? she mocked. "Is Piper asking you to apologize for throwing me against a wall?" Piper's head snapped to Chou.
"You threw Miki against a wall? she asked, incredulous. Miki nodded. Then she whirled around to Chou.
"Mount Chou thinks she's so perfect, and she doesn't care how her actions hurt others. But, the minute something goes wrong, it's poor Chou. And she doesn't care about anyone." Miki didn't know where her words came from, but she knew they were true.

Miki walked back in, touching the bruise that was beginning to form on her cheek. She walked over to her bunk, getting ready to read some more Phantom Stallion. She noticed Chou and Piper there. SHe instinctively cringed away from Chou, but reprimanded herself. Chou looked in bad shape.
"I should probably go, Miki said, getting up.
"No, you don't have to, Piper said. She turned to Chou. "Is there anything you wanna tell Miki, Chou?"

"Hey, Chou, it's OK, Piper soothed. "It's all right. We aren't here to judge you. You'll have a lot of fun with Shirago tomorrow. Maybe she'll take food from your hand." Piper found herself babbling. "You'll have a lot of fun, and by the end of the month, you'll be a changed girl."

"First of all, my dad is not an idiot!" Piper snapped. "And he knows the law. He's a real cowboy, and the law, along with horses, mean everything to him." Piper took a deep breath. "Now, what were you going to ask?"

Piper looked down.
"When my dad found out about... what you did to your parents, Piper said, trying to act as calm and neutral as possible. "He had a talk with the other girls, just to warn them," Piper winced at how that sounded. "And to tell them that if you try anything, to tell him. And that if they tried to Pull a stunt like that goddamn Chou did, they'd be outta here." Piper waited for Chou to punch her.

"Chou, they are on their guard. You have a reputation. But reputations aren't something permanent. Start by..." Piper thought of something, anything to say. "Make an announcement. Let them know how you feel. They aren't psychics, Chou. Also, again, changing your attitude and the way you act and talk, and how you dress, would be a big help. Remember Chou," Piper looked the troubled young girl straight in the eyes. "I'm here to help. Just think of me as a friend if you want."

Piper walked over and laid a hand on Chou's arm.
"Please don't hit me CHou, but you haven't tried, Piper said. "You don't dress appropriately, you damage the horses, you deliberatedly try to make the other girls fear and hate you, and you certainly know how to push my buttons." She sucked in a breath. "You haven't tried, but that doesn't mean that you can't start now. You don't need to leave, you just need to lose the clothes and the attitude, try and be nicer and more patient, and stop using your powers to harm others."

There's Local Dinner, which you can read about in Selena's charrie page on Others characters Hannah.

Selena burst into Local Dinner, and set up her equippment. She really needed this job, so she couldn't be late. She flipped threw her song book, then walked over to El and Layla, the H.A.R.P. girls from SIlver Lining Ranch.
"Since you guys are the first here, you can choose the first to songs." She thumped down the song book. "Hey Kendra!" She called to her friend, waving.

Piper walked over and knelt down besides Chou.
"Chou, I know your going through a rough time, but these horses are fragile. You need to help them build trust, and you're not doing that. Chou, you need to try." Chou didn't answer. "Is there something you wanna talk about?"

Piper was walking towards the bunkhouse when she saw Shigaro tied to a post, still fully tacked and sweating like a marathon runner.
"I am going to kill Chou, Piper muttered."Calm down girl, I'll take care of you." She took care of Shigaro as fast and as thoroughly as she could, then stalked to the bunkhouse.
"CHOU! she bellowed, throwing the door open. Chou looked up. "First, do not ride a horse without permission! You could get hurt! Second, if you must ride, take care of the horse after! If you ever fuck up like that again, I will kick you out of Silver Lining so fast it will make your head spin." Piper took a deep breath.
"Have I made myself clear Chou? she asked, trying to sound nicer.

"Sorry about that, Miki apologized to Dustin. "I guess we spooked your horse." She sighed, and hung her head. "It's just that Chou drives me NUTS! Just because she murdered her parent's, she thinks she all that. Oh, look at me I'm Chou and I'm so cool and tough because I'm a psycho who murders people!" She imitated Chou in a stereotypical Asian accent. "Neehow, mou si chnu!" She said mockingly, knowing that she was being racist with her Chinese gibberish.
"Sorry, she apologized again. "That bitch just drives me up the wall."

Miki wrenched away from Dustin and kicked Chou in the chest.
"Psycho! she hissed. "I did bad things, but at least I'm not a murderer!!" She quickly tapped into her ability and saw Chou lunging at her. She quickly stepped out of the way, back to Dustin.
"You can take me to the infirmary now, she snapped. "Seeing that this psycho bitch murderer threw me against a fucking wall!"

((one, because a bunch of people here are giving themselves nicknames, so why can't i? and yes, dear nicoley, you can make piper's cousin))

Miki glared at Chou.
"You need to calm down, China, Miki taunted. "You know we're here to be good girls. And all of us here know your little," Miki leaned in closer, a small, cruel smile playing on her lips. "Secret."
