fandomhigh | Traditional Fairy Tales, Class Fourteen (04/16)

Monday, April 16, Period Two

A large projection screen decorates one wall of the classroom, and there's a nice assortment of pastries, muffins, popcorn and pretzels on the table in the center of the room.

"Good morning everyone. We were scheduled to have a test today, but I felt it was hardly fair to give you a test the week before finals. So instead, we'll be watching a film that's full of the classic fairy tale elements - The Ogre and the Ass ~~and it always said that omg~~. You'll probably recognize some of them from the stories we've read, although you'll find they've been turned a bit on their side. Please remember that next week you'll be making your project presentations, so I'll be available in my office tomorrow, or after class today, for any questions."

[ooc: Anyone with kidlets is welcome to bring them to class, just please check with me OOC before telling Aziraphale exactly where they came from (so I can avoid contradicting some preplay). ~~Please wait for~~ OCD is up. Entertain me!]

"It's okay, River. I understand." And he did, mostly, sending warm thoughts her way. "If it happens again, bring her to me, okay?"

Ananda slipped off his lap and over to her mom, slowly crawling into her lap, still being as quiet as she could.

River awkwardly tried to hold the girl. Luckily Ananda was more used to this and just wrapped her arms around Mommy's neck. Nervously stroking her back, River glanced at Jack again.

Jack smiled reassuringly and shifted closer so he could slip an arm around her. "It's okay, River," he said quietly. You're doing wonderfully. And she loves you. He patted Ananda gently on the back.

River leaned against Jack's shoulder, still holding Ananda. When the girl was happy River felt it so strongly, and without thinking about it, she smiled. This was extremely odd, but finally it didn't hurt or frighten her.

Jack grinned when he saw River's smile. "I know this is weird, but it doesn't have to be bad. And she's awfully cute."

He tweaked Ananda's nose and she giggled, hiding her face against her mom.

Then River giggled too, finally looking deeper into Ananda's mind. "In her reality we live on Serenity," she told Jack. "Working. Simon's there too." She giggled again. "Plotting to take over the ship."

"I bet we'll do it, too." He kept stroking River's back, leaning closer so he could do rest one hand on Ananda head. "That sounds like a good life, and she's obviously happy."

Ananda opened an eye and looked at Jack. "Can't take over Serenity, it would upset Uncle Simon."

"We wouldn't want to do that," he laughed. "So we'll be good. I promise."

River looked at him with a raised eyebrow, then giggled. And giggled some more.

"Hey! It could happen!" Not likely, but it was possible. "Maybe."

Then Ananda joined in the giggling too, and looked up at her Mom. He really believes that?
