[Shenandoah]

The idea of traveling with a guy was not one that Alessandra had thought of... and the idea made her blush... Especially when he smiled at her. "Uh... It'd be okay with me!" she said hurriedly before she spoke again, ideas of why it would be a good idea to have another along popped into her mind. "At least," she spoke, this time in a normal manner, "We can have someone watch our backs in case we get in trouble. I know there's places it's better to be with someone else when you're traveling through the area."

"That is true," nodded Professor Oak. "Now, I don't want to seem like I'm being rude, but I do have to get back to my studies and both of you have a long way to go before you reach the end of your quest even if you decide to travel alone rather than together. Who knows? You may push each other to do better and become better for it! But for now, it's time to get on the road!"

Sandy, not wanting to be a bother, nodded and followed Professor Oak as he showed them to the door.
