The Owls were cute enough. Not as cute as the bichon frise that his neighbor back home had. Leon plucked a few treats and held out his hand. A brown and grey little owl hopped over and clucked happily as it chipped up the treats. Leon was deep in thought as he sat there, his eyes just staring at the owl.

Leon was always told that lying was bad and all that such, but he also heard from an older cousin to fake it till you make it. Right now, he really missed his house. He missed his rock collection. He missed the blue and black tiles in the kitchen. He missed his Dad's terrible cooking. For chemists they sure couldn't cook a simple recipe. The meatloaf was always so dry and the carrots were normally chewy. He was going to write home saying all of those things. But instead he rolled up his short written note of "Mom and Dad, Everything is awesome. Take care"

Smiling, hoping that these feeling would pass, he rolled it up and made his way to the owls that were ready to send out.
