fandomhigh | Revolutions: Week 9 Period 5

Aly was perched on top of her desk again as she watched the students come into the classroom.

"I hope you didn't miss me too much last week though it sounds like Bridge was an excellent substitute." She grinned at Bridge. "I'm sorry to say I don't have pie for you all. Hopefully you won't hold it against me."

"Today we're going to switch things up a bit. This whole semester we've focused on what it's like from the revolutionaries' standpoint. But I spent the past week in my country looking at things from a different angle - from that of the reigning government."

"So today, in small groups or pairs, I'd like you to react to a scenario as you would if you were the government of a country. Go in with all your guns blazing, try to talk to the dissidents, infiltrate them, try to capture them and ship them off into exile, it's up to you. Once you decide a plan of attack, I'm going to tell you how the revolutionaries react to your plan and you can respond once more."

"I'm sorry to tell all you strictly democratic souls, but today, you're all representatives of a monarchy. Your intelligence service has brought information to you of a lost 'true heir' to the throne being spoken about in the streets. A coalition of mainly merchants - your middle class - has started to form around this supposed heir, and the people of the streets seem to be turning towards that banner."

She grinned. "You all have quite good instincts from the stirring things up side, let's see how you do when your objective is order in your country. Any questions?"

Isabel looked up, wary of anyone lurking around her. She blinked for a minute and before actually managing a smile. "Hey stranger. Long time no see."

"Hi," Bel said awkwardly. "Anders told me you'd left school but . . . here you are."

"Yeah, I got back Friday but I've mostly been staying in my room catching up on sleep ~~hiding~~," she explained. "How are you? You obviously, but still. Readjusting okay?"

"Yeah, I'm me again," Bel said, ducking his head. "And . . . I'm sorry about what I did. He did."

"What he did," Isabel said firmly. "And since I'm not dead, I won't hold it against you. I'm sorry that we couldn't save you from the beginning."

Bel shook his head. "Not your fault at all," he said. "The Source was too powerful. Trust me, I know."

"I know. He was a bastard. I'm glad he's gone and you're back." She looked down, smiling a bit, "I'm almost sorry I missed the rescue. But after hearing about the side effects? Not so much."

Bel turned red. "You know about that? I'm going to kill Anders."

"Actually I was thinking more about Nadia and the radio broadcast," Isabel said innocently, trying to protect Anders.

"I didn't listen to that," Bel said. "I was, um, busy at the time."

"Yeah, I bet," she snickered. "I hope there's a way to fix it. Otherwise that's going to get very interesting very fast."

"It's already too interesting," Bel grumbled. "I know more about Anders than I ever needed to know."

"Yeah, I'm sure," Isabel said, growing more serious. "Are you guys okay with that?"

"It's awkward," Bel admitted. "The Source really screwed with him." He didn't mean it literally, but that applied, too.

"He did. But that didn't stop Anders from worrying about you," she pointed out.

"Not sure why he did," Bel mumbled, finding the floor utterly fascinating.

"For the same reason I did. You're our friend," Isabel said firmly, reaching up to poke his arm.

"Thanks," Bel said, lifting his head. "That means a lot."

"I meant it," she smiled. "But I think you still owe me a hug."

Which Bel was more than happy to give.

"It's good to see you," Isabel repeated, returning the hug.

"It's good to be back," Bel said in relief. "And I'm glad you're back, too."

"I'm glad to be back," she admitted. "I missed this place."

"Where'd you go?" Bel asked. "Anders wasn't really much with the details."

Isabel looked down, "Back to Antar."
