‘Take one,’ said Luke, the white boy of the blue hair, who was wearing all the latest in fashions that were on the scene. His black jeans, by Leviticus, were covered with the stars of the silver screen. His shirt, by Ralf Lowrent turned from silver to blue to red and then to green. Luke’s shoes, by Nikos, were grey until in the light, then they have a silver sheen. To finish the outfit off, in Luke’s eyes, were Digital contact lenses (Digi-cons for short), with silver smiley faces that span round, smiled and frowned. ‘Leia take one!’ shouted Luke over the music.

‘Take what Luke?’ asked Leia the white girl of the black hair, who wore a scarlet dress made by John Paul. Her Digi-cons, however, had blue flames that flickered away covering the whole of her eyes.

‘A Spiff, a single skin Spliff.’ replied Luke as he held out a tin full of them.
‘No, no way.’
‘Why, they’re scentless?’
‘Don’t you mean senseless.’
‘Oh right.’
‘Yes I quit them, when we quit each other,’ said Leia when she pulled a cigarette out of her matching scarlet handbag. ‘Or should I say when you quit me.’

‘I see.’
‘Oh listen Luke, I didn’t’t mean to be so curt, okay? But now listen. I need, I need to talk to you.’
‘About?’ asked Luke as he lit a small Spliff for himself.
‘Well listen, I just want to say that I believe, in fact I know, you won’t go anywhere,’ said Leia, then she paused and inhaled the smoke from her cigarette, ‘Now you won’t go anywhere because really there’s nowhere to go. I mean you might meet other people, somewhere else, y’know out there, but you’ll never know anyone. Luke, listen, there’s honestly no one out there, no one at all, just people. Just faces and bodies doing what they do, wandering from work to home, and back again. Do you know what I mean?’
‘I don’t know. Is this poetry or something?’ asked Luke as he felt himself drifting all over the place. One minute he was with Leia, the next he was with the music.

‘No Luke, what I’m trying to say is that everything is here for you. Everything you’ll ever need is right here in this town. I hope you know that, cos if you don’t you could get lost out there.’
‘Erm what, sorry, out where?’ asked Luke as he looked her straight in the flames, ‘Sweetie what are you goin’ on about?’
‘Oh Luke, I know that you’re going, I can tell, I can see it. I can see it in your eyes, your stance, your everything. It’s my female intuition is calling out to you, okay?’

‘Wow that’s an amazing female ammunition you’ve got there.’
‘Luke I’m serious, if you go to the U.S.C you could lose everyone here.’
‘Wow, now, that’s an amazing bit of intuition. You should have your own show with a gift like that. I mean, knowing I’m thinking of leaving is one thing, knowing where I’m going is another. So tell me, was it this foot pointing that way a bit that told you where I was going? Or was it…’
‘Let’s just say that I have some important contacts in the travel industry.’
‘A-ha like Willow from the travel agents hey Miss Intuition?’
‘Yes okay…’ said Leia as she indignantly crushed her cigarette on the floor.
‘Well, hell, I knew I should have bribed her for secrecy. I could have as well, I know someone she slept with when she was dating a certain someone else, but I guess I’m just not that kind of a guy.’
‘Oh Luke, why were you checking for open returns to Cameria?’
‘Because my mum’s, well my mum’s out there, and well my brother’s out there too.’

‘But why the open return?’
‘Because I wanna look around, be adventurous, have fun and shit like that.’
‘You’ll lose everything.’
‘I ain’t got that much to lose. I mean my job sucks, I’m doing too many drugs, I…’
‘I’m here; your friends are here, erm…’
‘Well I’ll be back, everyone will still be here.’
‘Never in the same way again. Mark my words.’
‘Well believe it or not sometimes different is good. Now listen, I’ve taken an E, I’m coming up. I’m going to dance. I will see you in a bit.’
‘Fine.’ said Leia angrily but in her heart she was as sad as she could be, ‘Well that didn’t go to plan,’ she thought to herself as she wiped a single tear from her eye.
