fandomhigh | Love Smart: Period 2, Week 2

Barney leaned against the whiteboard while the students took their seats. “So. Relationships. Whatever. Today we’re going to focus on the getting part of the relationship for the benefit of those of you who need a hook-up or who wish to trade up,” he announced with a grin. Yeah, he listened to the radio. It was great entertainment.

“For those of you who missed my legendary summer workshop, How to Be Awesome, here is a list of pick up lines to try on your own time. I also have video of your classmates' greatest hits in my office should you need a visual reference. Keep in mind these pick up lines were designed with the hot and dirty in mind. Not the deeply emotional relationships you teens seem intent on having." That last bit might have been sarcastic and accompanied by wide, grossed-out eyes.

"Now that that bit of business is taken care of, let's discuss how and why we choose our significant others."

"Couples: Why did you select your partner as 'The One' for you? Was it for their looks? Because hell yeah, you want someone you can stand to stare at for days on end. Was it for their money? Because of... feelings?" He looked at them sadly, because really, they should be out there having meaningless sex. It was a tragedy.

Focusing in on those lucky enough to be without an SO, Barney addressed the class ~~studs~~ loners. "Singles: How and where do you find a mate? Any alternatives to finding 'The One'? Let's discuss!"

[ooc: ~~Wait for~~ OCD is up! The questions are open to all for reply and discussion! Go Swarley!]

"I was going to spend some quality time with my Supers DVD," Summer replied. "Why, you have something else in mind?"

"If I say yes, will you choose me over the DVD?"

"Maaaybe," Summer said, pretending to have to think about it.

"C'mooon," Shawn wheedled. "Do I really have to try going all hurt puppy eyes? Because I will."

Summer grinned. "I think I kind of want to see that."

Shawn pouted. There might've been a hint of sad puppy in the mix.

Summer smiled because that was really kind of adorable. "Okay, I choose you over dvds."

"I knew you'd crack," Shawn said, cheerfully breaking out of his pout without a pause. "I'll come pick you up... tomorrow afternoon?"

"Okay," Summer replied. "So, where are we going?"

Yeah, Shawn really hadn't thought that far ahead.

"Not telling you," he said. "I promise it won't be anything too crazy," he added as reassurance.

"Awww, a surprise?" Summer asked, wondering if Shawn actually had anything planned. "Well, I look forward to it."

"Good. So do I," Shawn grinned, leaning back a bit again.

"Guess it's a date then," Summer grinned.

Shawn gave a little confirmatory nod. "A date it is."
