Glitter [Thursday, third period]

Out by the main campfire, there were a few tables set up, and a slim, nervous-looking brunette standing in front of them.

"Morning!" she said cheerfully. "If you want coffee, there's a ton, and I brought doughnuts? I hope that's okay with you guys. If you want me to bring different stuff next week, let me know."

She gripped her own coffee cup, and smiled. "Um, so hi. I'm Rory, and I know...most of you. And welcome to the workshop that has the really long name because I was in a creative mood when I submitted it, so we're just going to call it Glitter, okay? And this workshop is just going to be about making ordinary things more sparkly. Because sparkles are never a bad thing, right? Unless you get glitter in your hair. That stuff makes friends with your scalp or something and just never washes out, so be careful. "

She cleared her throat. "Um, so this is going to be pretty easy today. I want everyone to introduce yourselves, say your age and the grade you'll be in the fall, favorite color, and...favorite pizza topping. And then after that, I've got some shirts for you guys," she pointed to a table laden with glitter of all colors, glitter glue pens, puff paint, feathers, hot glue and all kinds of moddable goodies and a neat stack of white T-shirts. "You can do whatever you want to them, okay? Just be creative, and they're yours to keep."

"Right! So, introductions." She waved. "My name's Rory Gilmore, I'm eighteen and just graduated, so I'll be a freshman at Yale in the fall. Well, technically freshman with sophomore credits, but that's irrelevant. My favorite color is blue, and I like just about anything on my pizza, but pepperoni is my favorite."

She looked around, smiling. "Who wants to go next?"

"If it would make turtle boys kiss boys," Buffy nodded. She paused, frowning at him. "Mikey and the angry looking one are your brothers, aren't they? I mean, ick."

"Raphael, and yeah, they are," Donnie said, looking like he agreed very much with the "ick". "That's why I asked. But why does glitter make guys kiss in the first place?"

"I don't know, it just does." She shrugged, and focused on her t-shirt for a moment, decorating the cheer gremlin. "Maybe it's magic?"

"Could be," he said slowly, drawing a computer in purple glitter paint. "So how do you make it work?"

"Usually I throw some on a pretty guy who's standing near some other pretty guy." She paused, thinking. "Maybe it's the throwing part?"

"Sounds like something that calls for experimentation," Donnie said thoughtfully. "You could try throwing against pouring it or some other delivery system."

Buffy gave him an amused look. "You're kind of a geeky turtle, aren't you?"

Donnie looked embarrassed - geeky twice in one class and with two different girls. "Um. Yeah," he sighed. "Totally the geeky one."

"Oh, don't worry," Buffy said, reaching out to give him a quick pat. "I think it's cute. You were saying about the glitter..?"

He smiled slightly, then became thoughtful again. "Well, to verify that it's the process of throwing that makes it work - maybe somehow triggering the glitter's magic - you'd have to test it against other ways of administering glitter to your subjects."
