"Alright, so if everyone can get these papers filled out and turned in by Friday that would be great. Also... make sure you have a roommate picked out before hand or Mr. Carr and I will be assigning them randomly." Mrs. Moon said handing a packet of information on the trip out to the different tables.

Ki picked up her packet excitingly, looking at all the locations on the list.

Over the course of the weekend they would be seeing all of Smithsonian Museums on Friday, including a full day just at the Air and Space Museum on Saturday. Then they had a break Saturday night to go explore and shop. And on Sunday they were going to NASA, and then heading home.

They were going to go see fucking NASA!

Ki smiled as she read through the itinerary, obviously more excited than most of the other students in the class.

She wondered what Lyra was thinking when she got the packet a few hours earlier.

It was more like 15.

Not that Ki was paying attention.

Or throwing everything in her bedroom into her closet.

Or panicking on whether or not it was okay to wear her pajama pants or if she should keep her jeans on.

She was fumbling with a few things on her desk when the doorbell rang.
