Dealing With Stupid People [Tuesday, July 31, 2nd period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Today, you will deal with real people, so keep your eye rolling to a minimum, please," Josh said as the students assembled in the Danger Shop. "We will be working...retail!" he said, clapping his hands together.

The Danger Shop turned into a sandwich store of a chain that might be familiar to some of you, oh yes. "Half of you will be working behind the counter. The other half of you will be the incredibly irritating customers. Ask how long a foot-long sandwich is! Demand a sandwich with everything except most of the ingredients! Wonder why a sandwich shop doesn't serve Mexican!" Josh's grin turned positively evil. "And you customer service types--remember to smile. And, um, not to punch anyone."

Aly came in - with coffee - and eyed the setup as she made her way over to Josh. "You're a cruel man, you know."

"Hi, you," Josh replied with a smile. "And yes, yes I am." He reached behind the counter. "Hairnet?"

"If you give me one, I'm so not sharing my coffee," she said, grinning at him.

"You drive a hard bargain," Josh said, leaning in for a kiss, "but I think I can give in on this without feeling like less of a man."

Aly leaned up to kiss him back, careful not to spill the coffee. "Well, there's coffee at stake and it's still morning, I think much could be rationalised with that."

"Very true," Josh said, trying to outsneak a spy and take the mug away.

This was doomed to fail.

"Hey!" Aly frowned at Josh, thwapping his hand. "I already said I'd share."

Re: Talk to Josh!

"Share faster!" Josh demanded.

She eyed him then deliberately took a sip before offering him the mug.

"Evil, cruel, mean girlfriend," Josh said, then began crooning to the mug.

It was a little pathetic, yeah.

Aly laughed. "Maybe next time you won't try to steal my coffee."

"Maybe next time I'll be better at it," Josh said.

That was probably not going to be the case.

"You very well might," Aly teased. "But I doubt it."

"Maybe I could be taking ninja-ing night classes in Alexandria or something!" Josh tried.

No, he wasn't.

"Then if you were I'd say you were silly when you could just ask Arashi for lessons," she pointed out, amused.

Josh blinked. "You think he'd do that?"

Re: Talk to Josh!

"Never know until you ask," Aly told him. "So it would be worth a try, really."

"Josh Lyman, ninja," he said, snickering. "I'd have an awesome resume."

She beamed at him. "Politician by day, ninja by night. You could be a television show."

"Would I have to fight crime? Have a wacky sidekick?"

Josh went pale. "Oh, God, I'd get stuck with Deadpool."
