Aviday

"Ranni! Ranni!" Aviday rushed to Ranni's cot, face flushed with
excitement. "Look! They're coming!" She stood up straight and
tightened her tunic over her chest. Two small mounds were finally
beginning to make appearances. "I'm getting boobs!"

Ranni, who was still experiencing the draining sap of the first
trimester, slowly opened her eyes and peered at Aviday sideways.
"Well, I do believe I see a couple of new things on your chest.
Congratulations, Aviday." She knew the younger Weyrling struggled with
her appearance and whether or not it was womanly enough.

"Isn't it wonderful? Finally!" She opened the neck of her tunic and
looked down. "I might actually start having to wear a breast band!"
Aviday lifted her head, beaming with pride. "And I was looking and my
waist is actually starting to dip in a little bit. Like I might
actually. get a butt! Maybe even like yours!

Ranni laughed, as always, finding Aviday's nature completely
disarming. She didn't know why it was so hard for her to let down her
guard around everyone else except the younger greenrider. Perhaps it
was because there never seemed to be an ulterior motive or
manipulative nature behind anything Aviday did or said. "Well, I would
gladly give you mine if I could."

Plopping down on Ranni's bed, Aviday grinned. "Okay, I need your
help. I need tight shirts. Like super tight. I wanna show 'em off."
She looked under the neck of her tunic again, delighted with her
discovery. "I won't look like a boy with some tight shirts."

Ranni folded her legs beneath her as she looked at Aviday. "Well,
what's the point of showing them off right now? It's not as if you can
do anything with them yet, not until we're Senior Weyrlings."

"Cause I finally got them! I don't want people to touch or anything,
but I've been waiting for them to show up!" Aviday grinned. "I want
to look like a girl!"

"Well, I used to do the Lady Holder's hair, make up, and clothes if
you want any help," Ranni offered. She had loved making Lady Xeladrie
look beautiful.

Aviday ran a hand through her very short hair. It was thick and
straight, but she'd never been allowed to grow it out. She had no idea
what she'd look like if it was longer than a finger length. "I can't
do much with this, but maybe you could show me the other stuff like
make up and clothes."

"Of course," Ranni smiled. "Do you have your eyes set on a boy that you would like to spend some time with before your first mating flight?" It had been a hot topic of conversation among the other greenriders who were virgins.

Aviday's nose wrinkled. "Not really. They don't notice me and my mama thinks I should just moth a flight. She's going to be throwing men at me the moment Kobeth betweens."

Ranni's nose also wrinkled. "That's unfortunate, but also a reason why you should start thinking about who you would choose, that way you might at least have some more control over it." After all, that was why she had chosen R'nar, and while things were more than awkward between them now because of her lies and the baby, she still did not regret it. "What if T'kala wins your first flight?" she grinned, knowing how close the two were, like brother and sister.

Aviday jerked back, a look of surprise on her face. "T'kala? Eww! He's like... no. That would be like...just..no. Besides, he doesn't really like girls." She waved her hand. "I got time to think about that and avoid my mama too. I don't really want to think about all that yet. "

"Let's think about something fun then. When we graduate, which Wing are you hoping for?" Ranni had been thinking about it even though she would graduate behind everyone else.

"N'vanik's wing." Aviday's eyes gleamed at the thought. "It's the best and it flies the highest. I want to be the best, you know? That's the way to do it, get all the experience and do all the fighting right up there at the top. "

"That would be exciting," Ranni agreed and besides, who wouldn't want the Weyrleader choosing you for his Wing? "I think I would like one of the mid-altitudes. The first time I came out of between high up it made me dizzy."

"Never bothered me. I like it and it's so exciting! I can't wait until Kobeth is big enough to ride. We're gonna do flips and dives and sharp turns, " she mimed the movements with her hands. "And even tumbles." She flashed an excited grin, bouncing a little on Ranni's bed. "But won't you have to wait to fly now? With the baby and all?"

"Normal riders who are pregnant can fly in the second trimester, but with me being an inexperienced rider and all, I'm not sure if they will let me. I guess we'll see." Ranni traced a hand over the small rounded bump that had developed along her lower abdomen.

"Your boobs are gonna get bigger too. Lucky. What's it like to have a baby? Does it feel weird?"

Ranni automatically reached up to touch her chest, since they were already feeling sore and tender these days. "It's... different, but not necessarily bad. It's kind of neat, actually, feeling the little movements. It's better than I thought it would be. Most pregnant women I ever saw growing up looked so miserable all the time that I was sure it had to be horrible."

"Mama said it was horrible for the first few months with me cause she was so sick all the time." Aviday folded her legs under her. "Then she said all she wanted to do was bed more men and eat wierd stuff. Do you think that you and R'nar will be all over each other like that? Maybe you'll like smashed tubers with sweet relish on pie or something. "

"Definitely not," Ranni replied in question to the R'nar situation. She could barely look him in the eye and he was polite and cordial, but nothing else. "Ugh, sweet relish?" The Weyrling wrinkled her nose. "That's hard for me to even think about."

Aviday grinned. "Betcha you'll like all sorts of weird foods. There was one drudge who was with child and she dipped finger roots in pudding."

Ranni laughed and groaned simultaneously. "Stop it, you're going to make me hurl."

With a face filled with mischief, Aviday' smile widened. "And another one she would get up at night and go into the kitchens and get some wherry grease and put it on berries."

Ranni lunged from the bed, shoving Aviday aside as she did, and scrambled to a chamber pot to throw up. "You brat," she said in a strangled voice, although there was still a hint of laughter in her tone.

"I'm sorry!" Aviday hurried over to her friend, grabbing a cup and pouring water in it. She knelt beside Ranni, looking contrite as she held out the water. "I'll stop. I'm really sorry. "

Taking the cup of water and rinsing out her mouth, Ranni spit it out as well. "It's okay, you know what they say about payback," her dark eyes gleamed teasingly.

Aviday smiled again. "Oh, no. Not me. I'm never having a baby. I don't want any. "

"That's not the kind of payback I was talking about," Ranni said wiping her mouth and waggling her eyebrows. "I can be much more devious than that."

Aviday eyed her. "I'll talk about wherry grease again..."

Ranni held up a finger, "I'll talk about the latest man I saw with your mother."

She shrugged. "My mama has a new man almost every sevenday. They never stick around long. "

"I guess that's true," Ranni conceded with a chuckle. "Oh! Did you hear about Tisafelle?"

That brought a bright smile. "Yes! She's gone, thank Faranth! I never have to bother with her again! I hope she hates it there and gets muddy every single day!"

Ranni smiled as well. "That's what she deserves. I wonder if they're making her do manual labor?" This was asked with a hint of glee at the thought.

"Tisafelle? Doing manual labor?" Aviday grinned widely. "Oh, I hope so. I hope they have her mucking out herdbeast barns or digging privies."

"I'd even settle for watching her serve ale to stinky men calling her 'wench'." Ranni laughed.

"Oh, that's a good one. I'd love to see that. I think she might explode. Do you think they'd pinch her butt?"

"Puhlease," Ranni drawled. "She doesn't have enough butt to pinch."

"You think so? Cause C'vic and L'din were staring at her butt when she was in the dining hall. You know, when she was wearing those really tight trousers that even my mama said were too much?"

"C'vic and L'din would bed anything that has two legs," she snorted.

Aviday paused to consider that. "Yeah, I guess so. They've been with mama too." She frowned. "But they've not even looked at me. Says something, huh?" She shrugged. "You feeling better?"

"You're too classy for them," Ranni quipped as she took another cautious sip of the water. "Yes, I think, unless someone starts talking about disgusting things again, that I'm done throwing up."

Giving an indelicate snort, Aviday offered her hand to help Ranni up. "I'll stop, but when you start eating strange stuff, I'll be happy to tell you that I told you so. "
"And later when you are beating men off with a stick, I'll be happy to tell _you_ that I told you so." Ranni said as she took Aviday's hand.
