Marie put the ripe crop in her pouch before leaning back on her heels, taking a few deep breaths and wiping her forehead. It had taken her a while to get things going but she was finally getting a good selection growing. The market and food supplies on the colony were pretty good for most things, particularly meat and vegetables, but she found that the grain supplies just didn't match the kind she had back on Persero, and considering bread was the largest part of a sandwich shop it was pretty important to get that sorted. Her mind automatically flicked to getting the shop sorted, she'd managed to get the land permission due to her status but they hadn't been able to get it furnished yet so it would be a while before it would open. Still, all the reason to get her ingredients stocked up before-hand. At least the kids had decided to stay at home, she loved them to pieces but they weren't used to this kind of labour, she didn't want to put any more stress on them than they already had. She moved her hand over to a small basket on the ground beside her, lifting up the flap and pulling out a small sandwich. After taking a small bite, she rested it on the top of the basket and returned her attention to the grain.

Tip, while walking around town, did noticed that there was an area that did have a mini mart to shop in. She walks into the shop and looks around to see what was in store. This store, was not like the one that she grew up with, which of course had many soda machines and candies. This place, was of course was in the garden, so, that was why she was not finding any slush machines as well. She shrugged and found some meats and grains that did make her crave for some sort of sandwich or salad, although she was skinny enough, eating healthy was better than just eating sweets, like a normal girl her age would do. She bought some lettuce, tomatoes, and some bread and after she paid. She did find the garden area where people would either have picnics or just look at the flowers. While looking around, she did find a young woman that either looked like an adult. So, she sat a couple of feet away from her, until she notices her. Tip then started to eat her sandwich and saw that she had the similar bread to hers. "Hey, was that the bread from the market place?" She asked, and tried to smile at her and tried to not make food stuck in her teeth by using her tongue to wipe them off.

Marie continued working at the grain, pulling out the ripe ears. After a moment or two she felt like she was being watched, feeling a bit weird. Then she blinked slightly at the sudden voice, looking up to notice the girl sat across from her. Human? Marie was pretty sure that was the name of the species, reasonably similar to Pupa in shape but that was it. She wasn’t sure but this girl appeared to be about the same age as her daughter Fran. “That’s right.” She said, smiling gently at her as she saw the sandwich in the girl’s hand. “I have to admit it’s a bit strange compared to what I’m used to from my planet, far too soft really. Here, try this.” She pulled off a single grain from one of her strips, holding it out the girl. “It’s a bit tougher to chew than what they use to make bread here, but you’ll find the sweetness lasts a bit longer.”

Tip saw that Marie was having some sort of day-time job working in the fields and was pulling out some sort of grain that could be used for either bread or some sort of spice. She saw that the young woman had some sort of wooden figure, which did look pretty cool to see. She did see those type of people in storybooks as a kid, but, seeing this one in person, was just amazing to look at. "Yes, if you are wondering what I am, as you can see, I am a human. I did come from a place, where my B'oov friend, Oh, used to live too. Our planet just got blown or something, so, I'm here now." She said, and munched on her sandwich again. When Marie answered her question about the bread from the market, she nodded. Tip then heard her explain about the grain that came from her world that was much different from the bread's grain that she was eating now. "Hm, so, I assume that your grain is different from the grain that I am eating right now. Interesting." She said, as she took a piece of grain that was offered to her. "Thank you." She thanked Marie and took a piece of the grain. As she ate it, Marie was right. The grain had a different texture, but, she did taste the sweet flavor. She had a little bit of a hard time trying to chew the piece of grain, but, it did taste good. "Hm, you're right. It does taste sweet, I like it." She complimented, and grinned bite after bite.

Marie couldn’t help chuckling as the girl all-but read her mind, listening carefully as she told her about herself. The word Boov sounded familiar but she couldn’t quite place it, perhaps she’d heard it in passing. She'd think about it more later. “Ah human, I haven’t got used to the different species yet. For the record I’m a Pupa.” She responded, smiling again. Her eyes watched the young girl as she tasted the grain, quite pleased to see that someone else liked the taste. It was a good sign, after all once she opened her shop she hoped to make use of the colony and get everyone to come in. It would certainly be a great way to get the kids to meet others, mixing hadn't been easy at the moment. “Glad you like it. I’m hoping to store up enough for when the authorities finally sort out the details so I can set up my sandwich shop. Once it’s open you should come by.” She said, picking up her things and standing up before walking over to sit on the bench next to her. “My name is Marie by the way, nice to meet you Miss.”

When Tip saw that Marie's face, she could think that she has seen or heard the colony of the "B'oov". She wanted to ask on where she heard of that actual colony and she thought that she can help find Oh. The girl then heard her talk about her not seeing the other species, perhaps she just got to the place not too long ago. "Oh, you'll meet them. There are humans like myself and other species, which I do not know about. All I know is that there are a lot of them running around in this colony." She then heard Marie saying the name of her colony, which was a "Pupa." "A pupa, eh? Very interesting. Never seen those in my life." She then saw Marie smile as she was liking the grain that she gave her to try. To her, it was a sign of the food tasting good and crunchy. "Let me guess, a lot of people did not try the grain yet? You should try having a shop that does sell it. I can help you be an assistant if want." Tip offered, willing to help Marie have other townspeople try her grain. She thought that if she helped her, meeting new people could be nice as well. "I do like the grain, it doe taste good and sweet, like I mentioned before." Tip then heard her planning a sandwich shop which could be a good place to start a business, especially when being new. "I'm sure that you will be great at your business." She complimented with a wink and saw her sitting down next to her. "Oh, hi Marie. My name is Tip, a pleasure to meet you." She introduced herself and gave her a handshake.

“Well that’s about right, we Pupa tended to keep to ourselves on Persero so not many people have heard of us. Plus a lot of species seem to find us a bit creepy.” Marie added with little smirk, chuckling slightly as she looked at the girl. She listened to the suggestion to sell the grain, truthfully she had considered it herself but had come into trouble with the idea. Everything was quite complicated with this, so it would be quite a long time before they were completely settled. “Unfortunately it’s taken a lot of time to grow this much, plus there are so many legislations to get through that it’ll be a while before I can sell the grain on its own. Like I said getting the shop set-up is difficult enough, it will be a while before I can sell it up. But if you’re still interested when I’ve got the shop running I’ll be glad to have an assistant, it will be a huge help to me.” She took the girl’s hand, shaking it gently and grinning at her. “So Tip, did you come here with your family?” She asked casually, taking another bite of her own sandwich while she waited for the response.

When Tip looked at her body structure and thought that she had a unique design compared to the others species that she did see while giving herself a tour around the areas. So far, the only one that she met that was a humanoid like her was Ted, her new friend. She did give her a smirk and nodded at her comment that others do say that she is "creepy." She did see people like her back in stories that she read as a kid so, she was not freaky or creepy at all. "Marie, I don't think you are creepy at all. I do love your style and I have to say, it's really cool." She said, with a small gentle smile. As she saw Marie listen to Tip's idea with the grain, she smiled, knowing that she will approve the idea already, as she was considering it. "Well, I can help you start the cropping. I got nothing to do anyway." She said, and got some of the crops from her cart and started to burry some seeds in the ground and then heard that she could be a good assistant to her in her future project. "Hey, Marie, I'm sure that if you take your time in getting everything set up, you'll get your shop ready in no time." She replied, with confidence in her voice. She then felt Marie's hand touching hers and shook it and she smiled back, shaking it as well. When Marie asked her if she did come with her family, she nodded. "Nope, just myself. My mother is still in the supernova, even though Oh helped me in reuniting me with her." She responded and bit her sandwich as well.

Marie couldn’t help but laugh at her words saying she didn’t think she was creepy, smiling warmly as she said “Thank you Tip, I can honestly say that ‘cool’ is something I haven’t been called before.” She watched the girl starting to plant seeds into the ground, admiring her strong work ethic. “I’m glad you think so, but don’t worry about helping straight away. For the moment I’m just making sure that I have a good supply in stock.” Her eyes widened slightly when she said that she was here by herself. “Sorry to hear that, I hope you manage to get back to her soon.” She said softly, looking at the young girl with concern. She couldn’t imagine what it must have been like trying to adjust to somewhere like this without your mother. The thought made her wonder what would happen if she hadn’t been able to stay with her kids and she shook it away instantly, glad that they were all still together. Marie heard that name again. “Oh, your boov friend right? Hmm, you know I’m sure that I’ve heard of that species before but I can’t think of where.”

As Tip saw her smiling at her comment, as she thought that she was not creepy, she smiled at her when she was chuckling. "Oh, you never been called "Cool" before? I think you are, like I said before." She replied with her second compliment, thinking that she could be a good citizen like everyone else. She could fit right in! Tip continued to gather some grains and puts them into the ground, willing to see if they needed water or not. This job for her was going to be interesting since she had not planted anything or grew anything in a long time. Grains were going to be a little challenging since this was something new, however, since did get an "A" in geometry, this could not be so bad of a chore and possibly a new job that she could have. She then heard Marie being a little unsure that she was having a good supply or not. The girl looked at a couple of cans of grains and thought that this amount could be perfect. "Hey, I just checked your cans. I think you are good for now. Where do you get your grains anyway? Maybe that field could help you fill up your supply." She said, as she was willing to trying to see if the job can get done. Tip then heard her saw her having sympathy about her mother not making it to the supernova. She did think about her time to time when sleeping or just looking around at the place. She would have loved it here. She did make two friends already, which were her and Ted. She would have approved of the friends and would have been amazed on what the new place was like and even Oh was here as well! "Marie, I still think of her. Although she is not here physically, I still see her, which is right here." She then pointed to her heart to show Marie that her spirit is still around. "I'm ok though." She replied and tried to show an optimistic look. She then heard her talk about her B'oov friend, Oh again and she nodded. "Yes, he's the only friend that I ever got back when I was from Earth. He was an outcast, as I am one myself."

“Haha, you’re a sweet girl Tip.” Marie responded, smiling back at her. She watched as Tip started going through and checking the grains, impressed at how the girl just threw herself into it. “That’s why I started using these gardens; it just gives me enough space to grow what I need. Like I said I want to get things ready so when the legislation goes through the shop can open. It’ll give me and my kids something to focus on.” She couldn’t help smiling again at Tip’s words about having her mother in her heart, before then mentioning her friend again. The word outcast caught her off-guard, her thoughts suddenly turning to Meechay. It had been such a while since she heard anything about her brother, and her face fell slight. She shook her head a moment, not wanting to think about it and instead focusing on Tip and what she said about her friend. Then something clicked in her mind and Marie suddenly said “That’s right! My eldest, Shy, is living in the Upper Sector. She mentioned meeting a Boov the other day, maybe I could see if she knows your friend.”

She saw that she gave her a compliment of being nice to anyone that she meets. Tip smiled back at the young woman and did see her look around at the grains. Tip was just continuously feeling that helping anyone can have anyone go a long way, especially when trying to go for a good business. She then heard Marie talking about her garden being an inspiration as a career choice, as she wanted to do something for herself and of course, her children. "I see, you have a good choice of what you want to do. You first have your own personal garden and you can grow anything you want to support yourself. I do admire people like that." She complimented with a small wink. She then saw a little sadness in Marie when Tip did mention that she was an "outcast" before Oh came into her life. "Yeah, I was rejected just because I was smart. I wanted to, I guess be smart like how my mother was, before she did not make it to the supernova." She then sighed at the thought of seeing her mother again. She then saw Marie changing topics of her oldest daughter, Shy, somehow meeting Oh. Tip's eyes did widen and stopped working to hear more details. "You serious, she saw Oh? Did Oh mention anything about a girl named "Tip"?" She had to know right away. This could be her answer to seeing Oh again.
