Good Omens...And Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Class Thirteen

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Monday, December 4, First Period

There are plenty of bakery items and hot beverages laid out, but the classroom appears to have been rearranged. The chairs and tables are moved to the walls, leaving the center of the room open.

"Good morning, everyone! I want to remind you all that I will be leaving briefly for an assignment. In my absence, Dr Wilson will be conducting class, with the assistance of my TAs. Now today, in lieu of a regular lecture, we're instead going to be rehearsing for the pageant on Friday."

Walter waited for an opportunity to speak to Aziraphale. "Sir, I think my friends would agree that asking me to sing in this would not be good for everyone else's performance."

Since Aziraphale had already had one student try to overemphasize his inability to sing, he chuckled softly in response to Walter's statement.

"Give us a sample, Mr Dornez, and I'll see if it's really as bad as all that."

Walter came very close to pulling a face, glanced around, and sincerely wished that he had the usual Caritas singing-in-public staples. But if the angel wanted punishment...

He sang a stanza of "Stray Cat Strut" and was, in fact, dreadful. When Walter had been in line for talent, he had apparently skipped right over the ability to sing.

"Hmm," Aziraphale replied, frowning just a bit. He hadn't considered the possibility that some of his students might really not be able to sing.

"I don't suppose you know sign language?"

Walter looked at Aziraphale dubiously. "No...."

Well, that was one possibility down then.

"Can you dance?"

Re: Talk to the Professor

Walter nodded. That he could do. "Yes. I'm in El Professor's Dance class this semester."

"Well, I believe Miss Summers is going to be doing some sort of dance to accompany the soloists. Would you be willing to work with her?"

It was better than singing in front of the entire school, and Walter knew he could dance well, even if he couldn't sing to save his life and isn't that an idea? so he nodded in agreement. "I can do that."

How bad could it be? Could it be? It be? Did you hear an echo?
