As the two left the building, they entered the courtyard.

Miki: This is the school courtyard.

Teka: Nice. Say can we sit down at that bench over there? I feel like I was bitten or something.

Miki: Sure.

The two walked over to a bench and sat down. Teka took a good look at his arms.

Teka: Are those....teeth marks?

Miki: You didn't noticed? Even when I nibbled on your fingers during the time we were in the cafeteria?

Teka:......Explain.

Miki: Let's just say a number of the girls you interacted with marked you.

Teka: Marked me?

Miki: Memos tend to....be territorial when it comes to males. And myself, that girl that licked you in the cafeteria, a few of those Giant, Islandar and Softy Class girls in the cafeteria, Izara, Umi, a few of those Warrior Class girls in the Back Hallways, Koala, myself again, a couple of those tomboys in the gymnasium and myself again the second we sat down.

Teka looked at Miki speechless.

Miki: You must have a pain tolerance to not notice until now. And number girls that nibbled on you. Myself included. Is 54.

Teka's eyes widen in shock as he processes Miki's explanation. He can hardly believe that so many girls have "marked" him, leaving teeth marks as a sign of territorial possession. He glances down at his arms and finds the evidence to confirm Miki's statement.

Teka: (stammering) Wait, so all those bites and nibbles were...territorial markings?

Miki: (nodding) Yes, it's a common behavior among Memo females when they feel a strong connection to someone, especially a male they find attractive or interesting. It's their way of showing affection and claiming you as someone they're interested in.

Teka: (blushing) I had no idea... I mean, I knew they were friendly, but I didn't think it meant...this.

Miki: (giggling) It's okay, Teka. It's just their way of expressing themselves. And you handled it pretty well. Most guys would have been overwhelmed by all the attention.

Teka: (nervously) Well, I guess I'm just not used to this level of...affection.

Miki: (patting his shoulder) Don't worry about it. You'll get used to it soon enough. Just remember that they're all excited to have an Earthling hybrid like you here.

Teka takes a deep breath, trying to process everything that's happened since he arrived on Planet Memo. Despite feeling overwhelmed by the attention, he also feels a sense of gratitude and warmth from the school community.

Teka: (smiling) I guess I should consider it a compliment then.

Miki: (grinning) Absolutely! They all really like you, Teka. You're becoming quite the popular figure around here.

As Teka and Miki chat on the bench, he starts to relax and embrace the unique aspects of life on Planet Memolee. The territorial markings from the girls, the vibrant culture, and the warm welcome from everyone he's encountered so far have made his journey a truly unforgettable one.

Teka then smells something that smells like old shoes and body.

Teka: (cringing) You smell that?

Miki: (sniffs) Oh cheese and crackers. That smells like someone that hadn't bathe in three days, ten hours, nine minutes and twenty seconds.

Teka: Why was that oddly specific?

Miki: (pointing under the bench) Because of her.

Teka looks under the bench to see a long messy hair Softy sleeping.

Teka: How come we didn't see her before? And why hasn't she bathe for that long?

The Softy wakes up and looks at the two. Then crawls out and introduces herself as Tok.

Teka and Miki are taken aback as the disheveled Softy girl introduces herself as Tok. She seems quite disoriented and tired, making it clear that she hasn't been taking good care of herself.

Tok: (yawning) Hi, I'm Tok. Sorry, I must've dozed off there.

Miki: (concerned) Tok, have you been okay? You don't look too well, and the smell...

Tok: (embarrassed) Yeah, I've been going through a tough time lately, and I haven't been taking care of myself like I should.

Teka: (compassionate) Is there anything we can do to help?

Tok looks at Teka with surprise, not expecting such kindness from someone she just met.

Tok: (hesitant) You would help me?

Teka: Of course! We're all students at this school, and we're here to support each other. If you need someone to talk to or if there's anything we can do to assist you, just let us know.

Miki: (nodding) Yeah, don't hesitate to ask for help. We all go through difficult times, and it's okay to lean on others when you need it.

Tears well up in Tok's eyes as she feels touched by Teka and Miki's kindness.

Tok: (sniffling) Thank you... I've been feeling so lost and alone lately, and I didn't know who to turn to.

Teka: You're not alone anymore. We're here for you, and so is the entire school community.

Miki: That's right. We'll support you and help you through whatever you're going through.

Tok: (smiling) Thank you both. I really appreciate it.

Teka: (grinning) It's no problem at all. Now, how about we get you cleaned up and maybe find something to eat? You'll feel much better after that.

Tok: (nodding) That sounds nice. Thank you again.

With Teka and Miki's assistance, Tok starts to feel a glimmer of hope in her heart. The kindness and support she's received give her the strength to face her challenges and begin to heal.

As they walk together towards the school facilities, Teka, Miki, and Tok forge a new bond, exemplifying the caring and compassionate spirit of the students on Planet Memo. Each step in their journey brings new friendships, lessons, and opportunities for growth, making their time at the school truly transformative and memorable.

Miki took Tok to the shower room as Teka patiently waits out for them.

30 minutes later Tok comes clean and smelling good. Although her hair is still messy, it was clean.

Teka: (blushing) You look cute Tok.

Tok doesn't say anything but just blushes red while Miki has puffs her cheeks in jealousy.

Teka: Let's head to the cafeteria and get something to eat.

Teka, Miki, and Tok head to the cafeteria together, with Teka leading the way. As they walk, Teka can't help but notice how much cuter Tok looks after cleaning up. Her shy and blushing reaction to his compliment only adds to her charm.

Teka: (smiling) So, Tok, do you have any favorite foods? We can get something you like at the cafeteria.

Tok: (softly) Oh, um...I'm not really sure. I haven't been eating much lately.

Miki: (concerned) You really need to take care of yourself, Tok. Skipping meals isn't good for you.

Teka: (nodding) Miki's right. Eating regularly is important for your health and well-being.

Tok looks down, feeling a bit ashamed of her recent neglect of self-care. But she appreciates the concern and care she's receiving from Teka and Miki.

Tok: (whispering) I'll try to do better from now on...

Teka: (gently) That's all we ask for, Tok. Just take it one step at a time, and we'll be here to support you.

The trio arrives at the cafeteria, and Teka encourages Tok to pick out whatever she wants to eat. They go through the line together, and Tok slowly starts to regain her appetite, choosing some nutritious and delicious options.

As they sit down to eat, Teka, Miki, and Tok engage in light conversation, talking about various topics and sharing stories about themselves. Tok's shyness starts to lessen as she feels more comfortable with her new friends.

Miki: (smiling) It's nice to see you eating, Tok. Remember, taking care of yourself is essential, both physically and emotionally.

Tok: (softly) Thank you, Miki. And...thank you, Teka, for being so kind to me.

Teka: (warmly) It's my pleasure, Tok. We're all in this together, and it's important that we support one another.

As they continue to enjoy their meal and each other's company, Tok begins to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance. The caring and friendly atmosphere of the school community, along with the genuine friendships she's forming, make her feel like she's found a place where she can truly be herself.

With Teka and Miki by her side, Tok's journey on Planet Memo takes a positive turn, and she starts to see a brighter future ahead.

Teka: By the way Tok. How old are you?

Tok: Oh. I'm 48 years old.

Teka: (double-takes) Wait, what the pudding?

Miki: Ohhh. So your a student and teacher.

Tok: Correct.

Teka and Miki exchange surprised glances. It's not every day that they come across someone who is both a student and a teacher. Tok's age makes her a unique presence in the school community, and it adds an interesting dynamic to their friendship.

Teka: (curious) So, what subjects do you teach?

Tok: I'm a teacher for Memo History and Culture. I also assist in teaching some basic combat techniques to the Warrior Class students.

Miki: (impressed) Wow, that's amazing, Tok. You must have a lot of knowledge and experience.

Tok: (smiling) I do my best to pass on the knowledge and traditions of Memo culture to the younger generations. It's important for them to understand their heritage and history.

Teka: (nodding) That's true. I've already learned so much about Memo culture since I arrived here. It's a fascinating and vibrant world.

Tok: (appreciative) I'm glad to hear that, Teka. And I'm sure you have a lot to share about Earth's culture as well.

Teka: (smiling) I certainly do. It's been quite the cultural exchange for me since I came to Planet Momo.

As they continue to chat and enjoy their meal, Teka, Miki, and Tok find themselves bonding over their shared experiences and differences. The age gap doesn't seem to matter, as they've discovered a connection that goes beyond time and backgrounds.

Their friendship deepens, and they become a supportive trio, each offering their unique strengths and perspectives to one another. Teka is grateful for the new friendships he's formed on Planet Memo, and he looks forward to the adventures and growth that lie ahead.
