"The roof is big," She reasoned with a smile. "Even if we have to share it, it will still not be crowded." She followed him the rest of the way to the roof, carefully pushing the door open with her free hand.

"Ah, see, empty." Leo observed, chuckling and leading her over to the edge. "Please let me know if you get cold."

"I will," she promised. Carefully, she sat down on the edge and looked back up at him. "Will you sit with me?"

"Of course I will Lana" He agreed, taking a seat next to her and look out at the sky. "It was a clear day. I knew the sunset would be bright tonight."

"You must know a lot, don't you?" She asked sweetly, her hand resting lightly on top of his. She looked out towards the western horizon, seeing a vast array of pinks and oranges streaking across the sky. "It's beautiful!"

Leo blushed from that comment. "What do you mean? About animals, yes. With Dr. Levin's help I will be accepted to vet school."

"Vet school?" She asked, looking back over at him. They had a school for almost everything, didn't they? "That is impressive, do you know that?"

"It will be impressive when I get in," Leo told her with a shrug. "Dr. Levin says they may not accept me because I'm Latino."

"If they do not accept you, then they are stupid," Lana told him honestly. "You are smart! So smart. And good with animals. Star loves you! Where you are from should not decide if you can fix animals."

"Well thank you, Lana." Leo smiled shyly at her, looking back at the changing sky. "I know you are right, but....for a city full of lots of different people, there's only one type that runs the show."

Lana sighed softly. She was only used to a world run by men -- but now only certain kinds of men ran the world? Why did things have to be so complicated? "That is silly," she reasoned, her forehead wrinkled. "Who decides these things, Leo? Forgive me for saying so, but I do not think that is very good. I think that, if you can do something, you should do it."

Leo nodded to her. "I will try, querida." He was smiling brightly now, and glanced at her. "I am really happy that I have met you, Lana."

"Are you?" She asked, her cheeks quickly turning a deep shade of pink. "I am glad that I have met you, Leo." She lifted her eyes slowly so she was looking up at his face. "What does querida mean?"

Leo smiled at her. "It means 'darling'." He blushed, shrugging.

"Oh..." Svetlana blushed deeply. "Daragoy." She decided she liked his way better. It sounded sweeter, more authentic. Maybe she would have to learn more Spanish. Or any Spanish.
