"Good morning," V said silkily. "As we discussed last week, there are certain procedures when one is working with law - or," he added softly, amused, "against it. However, it is not always feasible to work in such procedures, or perhaps kinks are thrown into your perfect plan."

He waved a gloved hand at a table at the front, where there were Legos, pipe cleaners, construction paper, marbles, several tea sets, whisks, forks, spoons, tweezers, salt and pepper shakers, batteries, chopsticks, wire, lightbulbs, straws, candles, empty egg cartons, hockey pucks, shoe boxes, and dice - as well as all sorts of tape, glue, and other adhesives.

And for some godforsaken reason, there was glitter.

"You," V said to the class, "will be building mousetraps. Not to ensnare rodents, of course, unless you choose to use them outside of this class. But your work is subject to the criticism of your peers," he gestured expansively to the class, "and your superior." He pointed to himself. "You have the class period. Your trap should be effective, just as plan you formulate - be your timeframe five years, or one hour."

[~~Wait for OCD~~ It's up, have fun, and thank you to

"It works," Bridge says defensively. "It's how I got the idea to make Rory's laptop make waffles!"

"Laptops shouldn't make waffles," Luke declared.

"Why not?" Bridge says, frowning.

"Because waffle makers make waffles," Luke said. "Laptops making waffles will lead to crumbs. There's some things that go together for multitasking. I don't see the connection between these two."

"It's a laptop *and* a waffle maker." Bridge says.

"I still don't get the appeal," Luke said.

"Well, Rory said she liked it," Bridge says, sounding a little hurt.

Luke was torn. The mechanic in him still didn't understand why, but if Rory liked it...

"Okay," he said, shrugging.

Bridge is quiet for a moment. Then, he offers: "Mostly I do it because I *can*. Yeah, laptops aren't supposed to make waffles, I guess, but that's the challenge. Making things fit together, making them *work* in different ways."

"As long as they still work right in the way they were supposed to, I'm happy," Luke said, hearing Uncle Owen's lectures in his ears.

"The waffle maker part makes waffles, and the laptop part is still a laptop."

And Luke still thought that made no sense, but he wasn't going to push it.

He gave Bridge a smile and went back to working on his mousetrap.
