She returned no longer a simple school teacher; she was once again President of the Twelve Colonies. As a result, it was with a bittersweet smile that she greeted her class. "Good afternoon, everyone. I hope you had a restful weekend."

She leaned against the desk, hands at her sides to provide support. "This term, we've explored how history can become distorted...or, in some cases, completely overcome by the legends that arise from actual events. It was my intention to explore the actual histories in a corresponding class this fall. Unfortunately," she continued,"that won't be the case. I've been called back home on business, and I don't know that I'll have the opportunity to return.

"I have enjoyed teaching you, and I hope you've learned at least something during my tenure. I wish you all the best as you continue here, learning and fighting the bad guys." A wry smile twitched upward at the corners of her lips. "I'll be available after class if you wish to discuss any events further.

"Now... get out of here and enjoy the rest of your summer."

Laura waved them off, then turned her attention to the pile of papers behind her. There was a lot to do before she returned to the fleet later that night.

Evie bounced over, still a little hyper from her Annoying Teachers class, and smiled at Laura. "Thank you so much for teaching this class this semester! I really enjoyed it."

Laura turned, smiling at Evie. "I'm glad, Evie. I certainly enjoyed our discussions. You show quite a flair for the historical."

"Thank you, Professor Roslin," Evie said, pleased. "I do hope you have a good trip home. Do you think you're likely to return at some point?"

It was her presidential smile that emerged, the one that hid any uncertainties. "If I get the chance, yes. The problem is that in my new position, I don't have the time or freedom to. Maybe, in a few years, that will change. By then -- unfortunately -- many of you will have moved on."

"Oh, that is a shame. I do hope it works out in your new position, though. And I'll be graduated and home in England in two years." Evie shook her head. "But I hope to see you again, if you come for a visit!"

"I'd really like to. There's still a lot of history here that I'd love to find out about...And how it relates to my own. That could prove very useful, later." She shrugged. "Who knows... we may be able to meet under totally different circumstances."

"I'd like that." Evie smiled and said, "Bon voyage and best of luck, then. And think of me out on my digs, rewriting history when I find new things!"

"Thank you. And I will definitely think of you. Good luck, Evie. I'm sure you'll knock them dead, whatever you decide to do."

[Okay, so, I couldn't resist. The bookcase thing came to mind, but I'm totally not clever enough to allude to that tonight. ;)]
