In a tower room (not Principal Connor's)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory Paris shoves open a door after walking up seemingly thousands of stairs. She had already nearly slapped Logan Aaron on a couple occasions, but had decided it wasn't worth her energy. They were on a mission.

The room is small, and dusty, and Paris immediately positions herself in front of the window, peering through a pair of binoculars.

Marty gives Rory a reassuring smile.

"Rory if that's the freakiest thing you've done since you got here, you've got miles to go before you reach the rest of us. He's going to be okay."

Rory manages a wavery smile. "You sure?"

"In the past week I thought I was Principal Connor, got a chicken for a pet and had my girlfriend shoot me right before I asked her to homecoming. That doesn't include running through town fighting Zombies. I won't even TELL you about last week."

Only one of these statements registers as a surprise to Rory.

"Angela's your girlfriend? It's like, official?" she whispers happily.

Marty smiles.

"Could change at any moment... but I'm pretty sure it is."

"Yay!" she says, cracking a real smile for the first time in hours.
