tapping his tablet a few more times.
    “Because I didn’t!” Laraby threw his hands up. “Like I already told that Administrator down there, I’ve never enlisted Renegade Weathers for the protection of my client, or for any other reason. Ever. I protect my client with my tools, as archaic as some of them are. I didn’t even use those in this circumstance. My client was not in any danger.”
    The Higher-Up agreed. “From this report, your Fairships, not a single one of his tools was used to manipulate the flying device.”
    “Frisbee,” Laraby corrected him.
    “Frisbee.” The Higher-Up nodded, making the change in his tablet.
    Lord Fairship looked pleased. “This is good news. We should remind you anyway that using Renegade Weathers is a serious bending. Although Renegade Weathers may come across as harmless, they are still a part of Mother Nature’s army, however estranged. They can turn on us and your client at any moment. Our Fair Force does the best job they can of dissolving these Weathers before Mother Nature can recapture them, but it’s quite difficult and requires a substantial amount of USE.”
    “I understand, your Fairship.” Laraby stood. “So may I go?”
    “There is still the matter of threatening an Administrator,” Lady Fairship said.
    “It was his fault!” Laraby argued.
    “Be careful, Fair One lara b3 . If security is called, this will count as your third red flag,” Lady Fairship warned.
    Laraby dipped his head. “Your Fairships, if I may, Rule 2938 in the Manual states that any punitive action given by an Administrator requires a review before being implemented.”
    The Higher-Up nodded regretfully. “He is correct, Lady Fairship. Would you like me to add this to your calendar? I can see you have a little time after dinner.”
    “No,” Lady Fairship said. “I’m afraid I have a previous engagement.”
    “Very well, which is …” The Higher-Up started to click on Lady Fairship’s calendar.
    “Which is something that I’d rather not discuss here.”
    “I’m afraid I won’t have time for another review today either,” Lord Fairship said. “Asteroid Golf.”
    “Your Fairships,” Laraby said quickly. “Becoming a Lieutenant Fair One has been my goal for as long as I can remember. These red flags will prevent me from reaching it. I am sorry for the incident with the Administrator. But if you will please allow me to keep my perfect record, I will gladly volunteer to tutor rookies with their Manual exams.”
    Lord Fairship turned to the Higher-Up. “I’ll allow it,” he nodded. At Lady Fairship’s look, he said quietly, “We are short of Lieutenants as it is. Any aspirations for a rise in ranks should be welcomed.”
    Lady Fairship tightened her mouth but stayed silent.
    “Thank you, your Fairships.”
    “We will need you to stay while we move onto the next Fair One,” Lord Fairship said. “Let’s hope we find good news here too.”
    “Let’s hope,” Laraby mumbled, sitting again.
    A red laser dot appeared on Pennie’s forehead. She tipped her head back to see it.
    “Please refrain from facial movements and sit flush against your chair, Fair One penn 1 ,” the Higher-Up ordered.
    Pennie scooted back and froze. The dot travelled the same way it had on Laraby’s head, ending on her temporal lobe, just below her left ear.
    The screen blinked on again. Pennie turned her head to look at it. The screen went fuzzy.
    “We need you to please keep still,” the Higher-Up repeated.
    “Unless you’d prefer a skull cage?” Lady Fairship offered.
    Pennie shook her head but stopped when she realized she shouldn’t have.
    The screen blipped on again.
     
    Tenley Tylwyth stands in the middle of the quad passing out flyers. “Vote for me, Tenley T!” She smiles at her fellow students, none of whom pay any attention to her. Tenley remains undeterred. “That’s right, people. I’m running for America’s Next Most Inspirational Teen. And I need your vote, Hadley
