Ed skipped along with the stormtrooper's hand firmly caught in hers, leading him towards the smell of yummy food. The guy-in-charge person was also coming along, which meant more new friends for fun food times. She could see the burger place on the right, very close now.

His wry expression faded as he glanced disapprovingly at himself. These clothes made him look like some overgrown kid who'd taken a wrong turn on his way to the Nerd Convention.
