Jalina, the toa of taekwondo and heroine of her home, lay down in the regenerating unit. yes it did not provide as much energy as the deep water, but it was efficent enough, and it was about 15 degrees outside. the regenerating unit came to life, and bright lights surrounded her as she closed the lid on her. adjusting hersaftey goggles with care, she closed her eyes and listened to the country music that played over the speakers in the treehouse fortress she called home.

then all of a sudden, a new sound came from the speakers. to Jalina, it was poison! it told a story of a girl who aparently lived a perfect life and was loved by almost everyone, especialy young girls. Jalina could not understand why she was so loved, for to her, she was a girl who cared to mushc about parites, chotes,a nd other material things. yet, she was helpless to stop the song as it played on'

i'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world,

i'm plastic, it's fantastic!

you can brush my hair, and dress me everywhere,

imagination, that is your creation!

after a while, near the end of the song, the computer finaly caught the tourturous music and changed it, and Jalina's favorite song began to play. Jalina settled down in the regenerating unit, yet the song that had played still set a shiver in her bones.

well, what do you think?
