Waling with their friends. Johnny takes Carmen's hand in his own.
Carmen: "C'mon let's see if they've posted the math final yet."
Student: "Hey Rico we gonna take Tesla."
Johnny: "How should I know."
Student: "You're captain of the team! Your brother used to beat them every year."
The couple joins the other students around a multi-screen kiosk.
Carmen: "First thing Fleet Academy looks at is your math scores. Wish me Luck!"
She enters her name to find her score to be 97%. Johnny sees her face beam with happiness, but he can't help but be worried about his own.
Johnny: "Good for you."
Carmen: "Your turn..."
She then spots Carl across the way talking with Marco.
Carmen: "Hold on... I wanna talk to Marco. His sisters at fleet.!"
Carmen rushes off. Johnny checks his score. A 35%. He was crushed, he makes sure no one else has seen. Carl walks up to him.
Carl: "You still haven't kissed her yet? Don't lie."
Johnny: "What's the hurry?"
Carl: "Others are waiting."
Carl points out Dizzy, talking with friends.
Johnny: " I guess you didn't read her mind. Diz has always had a thing for my brother. Following him around when he was a senior and we were freshman."
Carl: "You hear anything from him lately."
Johnny: "No not in a while."
Carmen returns to Johnnys side as Carl heads off.
Carl: "Don't forget about this afternoon. Hes always late when he walks you home to fish for a kiss."
Carmen: "Shes flying Starships!"
Johnny: "Who?"
Carmen: "Marco's sister. Can you imagine maneuvering half a million tons through crowded space lanes... You gotta have nerves of steel! Reflexes are critical."
