Mission: Graduation Day
Location: the academy

Stephi put on her dress uniform. The big day was here. Graduation day. She finished dressing and picked up Amanda's picture. "I really wish you were here to see me. I know you must be in a better place now 'manda. One day I will get justice for you." she sighed. "Meanwhile just do what I can to get justice for other people. I worked hard for this but I would give it all up to have you back. Oh well. No use wishing for things that can't come true."

She looked at herself in the mirror. She made sure her uniform was on straight. "So stephi old girl, here you are! This is it! Before long, I will have graduated top of my class! Well, guess after today onto the next step. Great adventures await! I just wish I weren't so nervous.." she finished in front of the mirror and turned and left her room.
Once on the hallway she ran into Sue Worthington. She and sue had become good friends. It wasn't easy either. Stephi, still hurting from amanda's death wasn't really looking for any new friends but sue had persisted and finally broke though Stephi's shell.
"Hey stephi! ready?"

"I guess so! I'm nervous . As valedictorian, I have to give the big speech. I hate giving speeches."
"Ahh, who are you kidding? I know you and when you set out to do something , you don't go halfway. You will be great!"
"I..ahh thanks Sue! I appreciate the cheerleading!"
"Anytime! Now let's go before we're late!"
