When everyone had finally finished laughing at me, Polly explained, "Hello Kitty is a cartoon cat, and its not supposed to have a mouth."  "That doesn't change anything." 

"True, I just didn't want you to think there was anything wrong with it."  "Oh."  "Well who's up for breakfast at the cafe?"  Josh offered again.  They all nod eagerly, and Polly takes my hand, ecstatically dragging me through the hall. 

I planted my feet firmly into the ground, stopping her from pulling me any farther. "I can  walk on my own."  "Okay!"  Polly skipped ahead.  I turned around and waited for the rest of the group.  Josh laughed.

"That's Polly for you."  "Come on- oh wait..."   "We have got to come up with a name for you."  Emil said.  "How about... Capricornica."  Olivia snickered.  "Capricornica?"  Josh and Emil repeated.  "That was a lame insult, but i understand the quote."  I said. 

"You read that book?"  "Yes.  The villain from Inkheart was named Capricorn was he not?  And you are trying to insult me by saying i have an Inkheart?"  "When you say it that way it does sound lame.  How about Cruela."  "But i have a use for babies."  "What?"  "In the movie she says, 'Oh, but i have no use for babies!'."  "Oh...  Well-"  "At your old HQ, they call you Four correct?"  Emil asked.

"Yes."  Polly skipped back to us.  "Come on guys!"  "Well, our boss says that you say the reason is personal, but is there anything about the name that you can tell us?"  I decide too give him stupid facts.  "Well its the answer to 1+3, and 2+2, and, I write it in Roman Numerals-" 

"You spell it I-V?"  Polly asked.  "Yes?"  "Well then I know what to call you!"  "What?" Josh asked.  "Ivy."  "Ivy?"  "Ivy..."  Josh grinned.  "It suits you, Ivy!"  I laughed.  "Yup, and i can call you Poison Ivy!  "I can't nickname it though..." Polly realised sadly.  "Well you can't nickname Emil or Josh either."   "No!  I already did!  Right Em?  Right Jo Jo?"  I laughed.  "JoJo?"  "I know.  Its-"  "Oh no!  I don't have any meal tickets!" 

"Meal tickets?"  Olivia asked.  "Yes meal tickets!  I don't know what you call them here, but the little passes you earn from going on missions, that you trade for food."  "Do you mean money?"  "No." 

"I dont know how it works at your HQ, but here we get an allowance.  The cafeteria is free, but the food's not as good.  Thats why Polly is so excited.  The cafe costs money.  We dont use tickets." 

"Oh.  My master doesnt exchange money,  because money can be stolen eisily.  Tickets kept in his high security money vault, that can only open at the sound of his voice, and will incenerate you if you try to break in, however, are another story alltogether.  He encourages us to fight over them and steal from each other though.  He says its good practice." 

They stared at me in shock.  I guessed it was because I didn't  normally talk that much.  "Oh, but i dont have any money either.  You guys can go without me-"  "No! It's fine.  I'll pay for it."  Josh offered.  "Thanks." 

Olivia laughed.  "You're supposed to say 'Thank you so much, but I could never accept that!', to make them argue with you, and to make yourself seem nicer.  You're such a nube."  "A what?"  "We're here!"  Polly cried.  I looked up, and found that the building was actually quite pretty.
