Glitter [June 7th, third period]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory had sent an utterly and undeniably handwavey email to her students, telling them to meet her in the Danger Shop.

"Hey, guys!" she greeted, waving them in. Today the Shop was completely, stark white -- the walls, the floors, the ceiling. Huge buckets of paint in every color, as well as brushes. And, naturally, their usual array of art supplies.

"So today we're going to have a little contest. I want you to split up into pairs, grab a portion of the wall, and decorate like the wind! The people who do what I judge as the best job get a prize. You can use anything you want, but I'd recommend starting with paint since that way things'll stick."

[OCD coming up!]

Luke loitered after class, looking a little nervous.

"Hey, you," Rory said, grinning. And then she noticed his expression. "Uh oh?"

Wow, those boots were fascinating. "Remember that thing you told me I should've told Leia about? The one that's teaching a workshop? I told her on Tuesday. She...didn't take it well."

"...uh oh," Rory confirmed. "I told you you should've told her!"

"I could've told her fifteen years from now and she'd still be this pissed," Luke said, frowning. "Anyway, she's arriving tomorrow to see him. I, um, haven't exactly mentioned it to him yet."

"...Luke!!"

"I'll tell him tomorrow!" he said. "After class!"

Re: Talk to Rory

"She's arriving tomorrow," she pointed out.

"That way he can't leave the planet?" Luke tried.

Re: Talk to Rory

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory facepalmed. "He's in a godawful mood as it stands, you know."

Re: Talk to Rory

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"He was a joy on Friday," Luke said, rolling his eyes. "All closed off and scowling."

Re: Talk to Rory

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Funny, did the same thing to me on Monday," she said. "And then he drunk-dialed me last night. What the hell is his problem?"

Luke's eyebrows went up. "He's been this bad for a week? I don't know--is there some kind of thing that happened in June? Alderaan didn't blow for another few months..."

Re: Talk to Rory

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"We were fine, last June," she said, shaking her head. "I can't think of anything."

Re: Talk to Rory

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke shrugged. "If he won't tell you about it, he certainly won't tell me."

Not that that would stop him from worrying, of course.

"Leia'll..." he sighed. "Leia'll probably just make a bad week worse," he said finally.

"What a fun weekend to look forward to!" Rory said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Dawn offered to let me come with her to Scottsville," Luke said, "but I said no."

Also, it was Scotland.

Re: Talk to Rory

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"...Sunnydale," Rory corrected, blinking at him.

Re: Talk to Rory

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Top of an island kind of near Spain?" Luke checked.

Re: Talk to Rory

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"...okay, that's not Sunnydale. That sounds like Scotland," she said, blinking.

"Either way, I'm not going," Luke said, "but I'm pretty sure Artoo's not coming out of the closet this entire weekend."

Re: Talk to Rory

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"He can stay with me, if he wants to hide out," she offered.

Re: Talk to Rory

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke had a sudden mental image of Artoo streaking down the hallway wailing to himself the entire way and smiled. "Thanks," he said. "I'll give him the option."

Re: Talk to Rory

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You can too, though I'm not advocating hiding from your sister as she will kill you for it," Rory said lightly.

Re: Talk to Rory

"Track me down and kill me, yeah," Luke agreed, making a face. "She yelled. I've never seen her so angry."
