Ramona giggled quietly. "Banana hammock? Time we got home Miss Mustapha. C'mon" she offered the younger girl a hand up. "We should be home in time for lunch...or dinner. Whatever the time is. I should really wear a watch one of these days. Now, onwards to Victoria." she grinned.

Mustapha blushed slightly, why the hell was`she dreaming about banana hammocks?
"We should be home in time for lunch...or dinner. Whatever the time is. I should really wear a watch one of these days. Now, onwards to Victoria."
"good! only a day trip! not that sleeping in the dirt wasn't maaaaaaaaarvellous..." she rolled her eyes, still grinning, reaching for Ramona's hand and standing up.
"how'd you sleep?" she asked, letting her arm swish a bit to unstiffen it.

"How'd you sleep?" "Eh, ok" Ramona said. "These stations aren't very comfy." she pulled Mustapha to her feet and they started heading towards the tunnel. "I'll be so glad for a matress tonight." Peering down the tunnel, Ramona realised that the only source of light was from the platforms at either end of the tunnel. So they would literally have to follow the light at the end of the tunnel until they reached the places where Bohemians had been. Lukickily, as you could only go one way in the tunnels, they couldn't get lost.
"We'd better watch where we put our feet for a while" Ramona said "The lighting won't be very good."

Mustapha nodded pulling her converses back on, whci were filled with dirt and soot. SHe shook them out a bit and then began walking, a littlw wobbly at first but gradually keeping in time with Ramona.
"Can I ask you... how did you know where to find me?"

"Can I ask you... how did you know where to find me?"
"Well when Scaramouche said you'd vanished a few of us went out looking for ya. Most stuck to the tunnels but I'd heard Mouche say something about you wanting to visit the school and my instinct told me to look there. Didn't take me long to find it and then I found you." Ramona said, keeping her eyes mainly on the floor, checking for hidden things they might fall over.

"oh" Mustapha said softly, thinking over the reason she wanted to see the school. She hadn't told anyone yet and had a strong feeling the others, especially Scaramouche, would want to know why when they got back.
For now all she could do was think of a worthy lie or decide to tell the truth.
"Sorry..." She mumbled

Ramona smiled and put an arm round Mustapha's shoulders "It's ok Phapha, we're fine now. Just had a bit of an adventure that's all. So how come you ran off?" she asked.
They had entered the tunnel now and were picking their way carefully over small objects on the ground.

Mustapha bit her lip, she hadn't thought of a lie yet. She breathed out deeply.
"Well I was at Wembley Stadium on my way to the highschool, when I heard someone drumming. I went in and met streets and we talked till the police came around. They captured streets and I got away. I ran to the highschool because... well... I was looking for someone..." Mustapha said quickly, keeping her eyes shut tightly.

Ramona stopped abruptly. "They have Streets? Shit." she paused, biting her lip. "Well, we can't do much for her away from the Heartbreak...we're going to have to get back there and work something out." Ramona looked at Mustapha curiously and began walking again. "Who were you lookin for? If you don't mind me askin that is."

"Well, we can't do much for her away from the Heartbreak...we're going to have to get back there and work something out."
Mustapha looked at her feet, "Sorry I should've told you earlier..." she kicked the dust as they began walking again.
"Who were you lookin for? If you don't mind me askin that is."
Mustapha looked up and scratched the back of her neck, "No I don't mind...I'm going to have to tell Scaramouche when I get back anyway..." She mumbled, picking up a tiny rock and fiddling with it. "Well...you know how I used to be a creation of Global Soft?" She said raising her eyebrows sheepishly.

"It's ok you've told me now." Said Ramona. She wasn't annoyed at Mustapha, after all, they were more likely to be able to do something for Streets while they were free rather than banged up at Globalsoft.
"Well...you know how I used to be a creation of Global Soft?"
"Yeah?" Ramona said curiously.

"Well...there was this teahcer I had when I was little...she was the only one who treated me decently and... I wanted to find her... I think she might have been captured by Globl Soft a while ago though..." Mustapha sniffed remembering the dark skinned, raven haired, sweet-natured woman. She swiped at her small tears and shoved her hands into her short pockets, keeping her head hanging down and her fringe flopped over her eyes.

Ramona put an arm round Mustapha "Well maybe once we're back at the heartbreak we can check the Global Soft CCTV cameras and see if we can find her. You never know, she may still be there." she said as they exited the tunnel to the next platform along, Kew Gardens. Wonder what a Kew Garden is? thought Ramona.

Mustapha nodded and leant in against Ramona but she seriously doubted it was true. It had been a good five to seven years since she had last seen the teacher and anything could happen in that time. For example, she ran away with two rebellious teenagers, became a bohemian and helped to bring back rock.
She looked up and saw a sign. Kew Gardens.
"What's that?" She asked pointing at the sign.

"Kew Gardens." Ramona said "They used to name all their underground stations after the street names or landmarks around them I think. I imagine Kew Gardens was like a large grassy area or something. Maybe it was somewhere kids could play."
