fandomhigh | How to Be Awesome: Period 1, Week 7

Barney was dressed in his nicest all-black suit ensemble, ~~it was his Vader suit~~. He addressed his class, assembled in the darkened Danger Shop for the last time.
"During this Legendary workshop session you have learned How to Be Awesome. You have suited up, you have learned the art of the pickup line, you have learned to role play, you learned the gentle art of the Lemon Law." Barney paused to look pointedly at Zack before saying, "You learned how to create an online portfolio, you learned to distinguish between awesome and not awesome celebrities, and finally, you learned how to gamble."

"Today is the culmination of your studies in Awesome. Today we will learn if you are a man, a lesbian, or a loser," again with the looking at Zack. He wasn't still bitter, not at all. "Today we will play laser tag. Here is a list of the teams." Barney motioned to Andrew who passed around papers listing this:

Team 1: Awesome in Action	Team 2: The Likely Losers
Adam	A.J.
Andrew	Carmela
Andros	Irulan
Cedric	Isabel
Dick	Jude
Jim	Kou
Johnny	Lucas
Michelangelo	Zack
Mel	Willow
Wyatt	Dropouts

"I am what we in the field call a Lone Wolf. I am a master of all laser tag strategies. Please try to catch me off guard, I dare you!" Barney laughed loudly and dramatically. "Now, the rules are that there are no rules, just equipment and your knowledge of awesomeness. Now, get out of those suit jackets and prepare to be destroyed!"

[ooc: Up early because I plan to be awake a long time. Andrew modded with permission. ~~Please wait for~~ OCD is up! Also, feel free to disregard the team aspect and make it a free for all as you wish. OMG, you were an awesome class! I hope you had as much fun as I did!]

All's fair in love and Laser Tag. Isabel fired then grinned. "Hi Andrew!"

Andrew just stood there as he was hit. He looked down at his gun, frowned, and didn't bother to pick it back up.

"Hi Isabel! Are you having fun?"

"I am. Especially since Wyatt was nice enough to fix my eyes," she told him. "This is a great way to let off steam. I'm actually impressed. I thought Barney would do something tacky involving strippers for the last class."

"Fix your eyes? What happened to them?" Andrew was very concerned.

"Deep down, I don't think Professor Stinson is as shallow as he comes across." Andrew paused, "Okay, so maybe he is pretty shallow, but at least he has some since of what makes for an interesting class."

"Umbridge," Isabel shrugged. "She didn't like what I had to say."

"He's insanely shallow. But yeah, this is fun. I'll give him credit for that. Everything else? Well, I turned his suit lime green one day. That made up for it."

Every day Andrew felt less guilty about the whole flying monkey thing.

He laughed, "I saw that suit. I didn't ask him about it though, because I didn't want to get in trouble if he actually thought it looked cool or something.

"So if you can turn someone's suit lime green, how are you at helping someone get over a huge case of nervousness and anxiety?"

If Isabel knew about the flying monkeys she would have kissed Andrew right there.

"No. That was all me. He was less then pleased."

Isabel studied Andrew carefully. "I don't have any super alien powers to help with that. But I'm a good listener if you want to talk. What's going on?"

Andrew shrugged. He had already spoken to Phale about it, but maybe it would be good to share with someone closer to his age.

"It's nothing really. It's just that... Well, you see... Umm."

Okay, maybe it was a little harder to verbalize than he thought. Or maybe it was because they were standing in the middle of a laser tag course and students were raging against one another all around them.

He shrugged again. "It's nothing."

She didn't have brothers for nothing. Isabel raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "Andrew..." But then she thought about where they were. "Want to go somewhere quieter after class?"

Andrew bent down and grabbed his gun. "I mean, I don't want to be a bother," he lied, "but if you were bored and wanted to hang out or something, that would be cool."

"I'm not bored and you wouldn't be a bother I would love to hang out," she smiled. "I'm supposed to be looking out for you after all." Even though she'd done a crappy job of it because she was too damn distracted by the trip back to Roswell. Besides, looking after Andrew would be a distraction from worrying about Max and Michael and how she couldn't help them.

"Okay! Where would you like to go?" Andrew thought Isabel was a fantastic bigger sister and mentally kicked himself for not confiding in her more over the past few weeks.

"It's still pretty early and I haven't had breakfast yet. How about the Perk?" Isabel suggested. "Coffee and a muffin are great with conversation."

"That sounds awesome. Should I just meet you there after class?" Andrew glanced around, trying to put in a least some effort at not getting shot again.

"Sounds like a plan. I'm just going to run up to my room and fix my make-up now that my eyes are normal," Isabel told him. "But that'll only take a few minutes. So I'll be right behind you."

"Okay. I'll see you there!" Andrew took off from behind the wall.

Like any responsible big sibling, Isabel raised her gun to guard his retreat, even if he was on the other team.
