    Summary

    “Earth spider animals are so beautiful and intelligent,” Teacher Grace said compassionately to Combustion-Fighter. A thrum of spider animals was going by on the street as it said this. “I wish there was a way I could talk to them and teach them about magnetism.”
    That was called ‘foreshadowing.’

    Three Eridian kids try and write a romance novel about their teacher.

    Summary

    The Eridian Board of Film Classification were elated to have received an influx of human motion pictures due to the latest, cutting edge developments in screen-to-texture technology. The association now had the all-important task of rating the films according to their appropriateness for families and pebbles.
    To their revulsion, they discover that most human films involve filthy, scandalous eating scenes and food references, hardly appropriate for an adult, let alone innocent pebbles.
    Grace, enabled by Rocky, decides that he needs to put them onto the concept of mukbangs.

     

    Or; what films can you think of that don’t involve food or eating in some way? Yeah… Grace really should have thought about Erid’s food aversion more before he sent them every film humanity had ever created.

    Summary

    Back on Earth (not back home, not anymore, not for a very long time) I think I remember there being some kind of rule against teachers having their own kids in their classes. 

    It was never relevant to me, what with my somewhat impressive lack of Earthly connections.

    It’s relevant now. Very relevant.

     

    Rocky and Adrian's pebbles' first day as Grace's students is not the most relaxing of days on Erid.

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    Summary

    Maroon is an editor, not a reporter. Even so, the Urbania Tribune sends them out to talk to the two survivors of the Skeld, to a small house on the outskirts of the city.

    Unfortunately for them, the story is a bit messier than they expected.
