Dealing With the Opposite Sex, Class #7, Friday, 2nd Period

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

Vala wasn't at all downcast as she watched her students arrive in the Danger Room Shop as she'd handwavily notified them to, for the last class of the summer. Really.

"Good morning, everyone. Before we start, I'd like to say how much I've enjoyed teaching you and hope you've found it to be as useful as I'd hoped you would. Also, I know this is a vast area, especially for those of you who may be more inexperienced, so if you ever have any questions, I have two ears and they're both mostly sympathetic. It also turns out I have an office, so you can find me there occasionally as well."

She cleared her throat. "At the end of class, there will be an opportunity to ask for answers to questions that are still bothering you. First, however, I'd like you to attempt a simulated date. No," she glanced at Jeff, "you can't have safety padding this time. But this isn't a high-pressure situation, either. You're just having a nice, quiet dinner in a lovely little bistro with someone whose ship you hijacked you saw on the street, thought looked interesting, and asked to join you. Your job is to make conversation and leave, without getting food dumped on you or a drink thrown in your face."

A fire extinguisher was also in a prominent and visible place next to every romantic candlelit table for two, just in case.

She worried at her lower lip, uncharacteristically solemn. "Now, as I ruin the mood completely, I'd ask you to please stay away from the woman who's squatting in Principal Washburn's office. If she calls you down there, don't go. Don't pull stupid pranks and don't vow eternal revenge. She's very definitely unbalanced and needs professional help. You have teachers--let us take care of the problem, just this once. None of you should be hurt."

"Thank you all for a wonderful class, and I hope you have fun."

"Then we'll go home together..." he said, eyes on hers.

Savannah didn't look away from his eyes. "Never doubt it."

Johnny was having wicked thoughts about his girlfriend right now and the look he was giving her might convey that. But no one this side of normal could blame him; she was so damn beautiful with a killer body. The combination of that with her endearing personality was fascinatingly tempting, turning him on.

Savannah was beginning to understand that look and she smiled slowly. "Evil thoughts, sweetheart?"

Re: Date

He held up his thumb and forefinger, "Maybe a little?"

Savannah laughed softly. "Thoughts that will make me turn red again?"

"And hopefully warm," he teased.

Savannah laughed again, but that didn't stop the blush. "You like making me turn red, don't you?"

Re: Date

"You're beautiful, Savannah," he said softly, his eyes moving over her face.

Re: Date

And that would be the blush deepening. She was never sure how to react when someone complimented her looks.

She met his eyes. "I think you're pretty handsome, Johnny."

He grinned. "Why thank you, sweetheart."

Savannah grinned back at him.
