Terry
I nervously wrung my hands as Alex continued to tell us what happened, I wanted to ask questions, make suggestions, but I couldn’t trust myself to that. The last time I suggested something I almost killed Iris and made her hate us all, I didn’t sure didn’t want a repeat.
“She sinabi it English!” Stilere yelled excitedly. “How awesome is that!”
Brooklyn nodded like a scolded puppy, and risked a glance at Iris, who smiled at her. “Cool.”
“Yeah, it was, amazingly awesome!” Iris smiled, “I hope we didn’t attract attention.”
I nod quickly, my movements quick, I knew I was being a bit absurd, but I wasn’t risking it. Iris turned to me. “What do you think Terry?”
My eyes widened, but I quickly smiled. “Sounds awesome! I do hope we learn more!”
Darren winced at my dorkiness, while Alex and Stilere shared a laugh. Iris nodded, looking thoughtful. “Me too.”
I mentally breathed a sigh of relief, and the other’s quickly continued the conversation. I can tell I wasn’t the only one skipping stones, most of us were very careful in what we said, I saw Mikey wince when he sinabi something that didn’t mean to offend Iris, but it was still mean, but Iris didn’t even blink at it.
Iris sighed. “Gosh! You guys are so annoying! I’m not going to bite unless I have a good reason, stop pagganap like I’m a lethal reyna that’s not afraid to give out punishments!”
I cringed. “But…you were angry, I’m…I’m sorry! I d-didn’t mean t-to-”
Curse my stupid stuttering!
Iris put a hand on my shoulder. “It’s okay, Terry, I get it. I forgive you.”
I look at her with hopeful eyes, “really? Like…your not angry at me?”
Iris laughed. “No…I’m not.”
“You hesitated!” Zaria pointed at her.
Iris narrowed her eyes. “Huh?…”
“You sinabi no, PAUSE, I’m not.”
Iris rolled her eyes, “I was laughing! I forgive you guys! Yes you guys were totally wrong…and I right,” I could see Alex roll his eyes. “But I forgive you guys, you didn’t know any better, but…don’t be so mean and annoying, and commanding, and rude like you were last time.”
I nodded violently. “All negative traits are now dissembled.”
Iris smiled at me. “Thank you, Terry.” She paused. “And…I’m…I’m sorry for overreacting… just a bit, I was so angry at you guys…that I used that as an excuse to be madami steamed at you guys. You tried to help, and I batted you away. You guys didn’t deserve that.”
“No,” I said. “I’m sorry, I should’ve known that place would be crawling with…it’s. I shouldn’t have snapped at you, I was just…on edge.”
“We were all on edge,” Alex corrects. “We all overreacted, and were all sorry for being doo doo heads.”
Iris laughed. “Yes, you’re my doo doo heads.”
We all laughed and hugged, and I wondered if I should be embarrassed to be proud of that.

The whole of the mountain will crash down and roll over me - but it does not crush me.
Human physical strength has limitations and it weakens in time. 'Inner strength' knows no bounds!
The confines of this earthly realm have no bearing.
Let it be done!
Let the horns sound that shake the foundation.
Call forth the titans. Summon up the dread that lies buried deep within the puso and mind.
Let the godless fear when they face the charge.
The Nawawala will flee or loose heart.
'And in the darkening late hours when the ground rumbles like an oncoming train...I will draw from deep wells what cannot be poisoned or tainted or overturned. I will stand, though the tides rise and the clouds threaten...and there I will remain, even if I ipakita signs and cracks of care and hardship.
I will not be broken.
I may grow weary.
Though all the elements come against me
and tear at flesh and bone!-I WILL STAND!
Why can't the world become a fairytale book?
It wouldn't be as mean
But it may be much madami green
Dragons that can be your pet
Princesses with hair for rope climbing
Pumpkins that can turn into horse carriages
And Pusa that wear boots and fight mice.
The people in reality aren't always very nice
But even the ogres and giants can say hello and give you nice things
Princesses aren't snobby reyna bees at school
Princes aren't egomaniacs
And money is in gold, silver, or copper or even magic beans!
Hens lay golden eggs
Poverty can end in five seconds
You can get your own fairy and wish for whatever you want
And have your any desires
But I guess this is all in the mind
But the world can be kind at times
It isn't always bad and cruel
But imagination makes it go around
It wouldn't be as mean
But it may be much madami green
Dragons that can be your pet
Princesses with hair for rope climbing
Pumpkins that can turn into horse carriages
And Pusa that wear boots and fight mice.
The people in reality aren't always very nice
But even the ogres and giants can say hello and give you nice things
Princesses aren't snobby reyna bees at school
Princes aren't egomaniacs
And money is in gold, silver, or copper or even magic beans!
Hens lay golden eggs
Poverty can end in five seconds
You can get your own fairy and wish for whatever you want
And have your any desires
But I guess this is all in the mind
But the world can be kind at times
It isn't always bad and cruel
But imagination makes it go around
