Another from Amy Covel, &#8220;Since you have aquatic creature abilities, do you actually enjoy swimming?

It feels safe and it&#8217;s a good place to be alone so I can think.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">Me:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n*smiles* Two are coming up from Ruth Blomgren. Here&#8217;s the first one: Okay, Serra, I have some questions for you! I&#8217;ve asked questions of several of Tori&#8217;s characters and even several of these questions to Matt, so I hope you don&#8217;t mind. What do you like to eat, do and go? What&#8217;s fun to you whether you&#8217;re with friends or alone?<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #c27ba0;\">Serra:&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nUm &#8230; *looks up at the ceiling, taps her chin, looks back at me* I like fish, and like I said before swimming, and I go wherever the blue-wheels or green-wheels send me.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">Me:&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nLet me pause you a second. Can you tell us what blue-wheels and green-wheels are?<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #c27ba0;\">Serra:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nOh sorry. *blushes* They&#8217;re scientists. We call them that because of the wheels on their blue or green labcoats. Where was I? Oh yeah. I guess I like playing Monkey in the Middle with my friends.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">Me:&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nAnd the second from Ruth: Who is your best friend and who is your worst enemy? What one person do you feel the most strongly toward (either positively or negatively)?<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #c27ba0;\">Serra:&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nSting is my best friend and the person I feel the most strongly toward I guess.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">Me:&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n*nods* Here is one from Maggie: &#8220;Hello, Serra!

I&#8217;ll keep it short. I don&#8217;t want to bother you nice people by making it too long. Sting and me met when we were transferred to a new lab. He came from a different on than me. We met there. Neither of us knew many people. Most of the people we took the final trial with to graduate the L.G.R. were dead. I saw him standing alone in the Social Time hall and started talking to him and it just went on from there. *smiles, eyes water a little*<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">Me:&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n*smiles* Next one is from Lyssa: Okay my question is, &#8220;How did she meet Able?&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #c27ba0;\">Serra:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nOh we met on an assignment. He was assigned to our team. We connected really fast.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">Me:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nAll right. Here&#8217;s another from Amy Covel: I know you&#8217;re in love with who Sting once was. Are you trying to change him back, and if so, how do you plan to do it?<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #c27ba0;\">Serra:&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nSting won&#8217;t see this right?

I don&#8217;t know how I&#8217;d do it. He doesn&#8217;t even want to go, and I&#8217;d get in so much trouble. Just me saying this would get me in trouble. *sighs* It&#8217;s just a thought. I don&#8217;t know if it will ever happen. I&#8217;m not meant for a life outside of serving humans. That&#8217;s just how it is.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">Me:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nMaybe things will work out, but I can&#8217;t do spoilers.
