fandomhigh | Love Smart: Period 2, Week 7

Students were summoned to the Danger Shop for this week's class. "I hope you all got my email. If you managed to speak to Robin Sparkles and want your extra credit, come talk to me after class," he began.

"Now, couples parties are one of the biggest relationship hurdles to overcome. My friends Marshall and Lily were successful. How, you ask? By running away from their own wine tasting. They, rightly, didn't see the point of waiting an hour to get drunk so the alcohol could 'breathe' while listening to other couples go on about their attempts to get pregnant, or worse, married. Instead, Marshall and Lily escaped by jumping out of the bathroom window and made their way to join me and Ted at Club Awesome. Granted, Club Awesome was not so Awesome after all, but it was way better than a couples party," Barney shuddered in horror at the memories of Club Awesome, not that students would know that.

"This is your midterm, people," he hadn't realized it was until he heard about other midterms on radio. "You, my most excellent students of relationships will partner up and go through a maze where you will meet a variety of boring parties. Your goal is to find the bathroom and escape the maze of bad couples parties." They would be scarred by wine tastings, fondue parties, and possibly a Mary Kay lady.

"Partner up and get to it!" he said with a flourish and the scene of the classroom changed.

There was a huge maze behind the students, one of those tall overgrown and green types, but instead of a Minotaur, other, more devious evils lurked within. Students should enter at their own risk.

fat_halpert, and a bottle of cheap wine - all completely unrelated! OCD is up! SP until 4:30EST is LOVE!]

"Looks more like the Ritz Carlton to me," said Hoshi, not realizing that Paris was a person.

"PARIS?! HERE?" Sandy turned to look where Jim was indicating.

Jim held a finger to his lip indicating 'be very quiet' to Hoshi as he started to move swiftly past Sandy.

Hoshi followed, trying very hard not to make a sound.

Next they would stumble upon an elderly man some would recognize. He was muttering bitterly over a fondue pot. "Damned skewers!"

"Hey, Bob! Loved you in the Adam Sandler movie!" Jim yelled.

Hoshi sighed. Being from another century and possibly another universe meant that she didn't get any of the pop culture references. "Who the heck is he?" she asked Jim.

"Bob Barker, former host of The Price Is Right," Jim said.

"COME ON DOWN!" he shouted. The kids loved that gag, even if he wasn't the announcer.

Hoshi wasn't impressed. She was odd that way. "This is amazingly silly."

"Yes, yes it is," Jim said. "Hey, Bob, where's my Showcase?"

"Showcase number one is behind that door," sure, it was a bathroom door, but it was locked so the kids didn't have to know that yet. Unless that hooker Sandy told them!

"Open Sesame," murmured Hoshi, trying the door. And yes, it was locked. "You, uh, wouldn't happen to know where the key is, would you?"

"Bob, we'll take Showcase Number One," Jim said.

Bob looked meaningfully into the pot of fondue. "Happy fishing, kiddos!"

"You mean it's in there?" asked Hoshi. She looked suspiciously at the older man. "Do I even want to know?"

"Yes, you do," Jim said. "Because it's going to get us out of here."

Jim put a spoon into the pot, pulled it out, AND FLUNG CHEESE AT BOB BARKER'S FACE. "Go now!"

"I'M MELTING!" Bob shouted, except he wasn't. "DAMN YOU KIDS AND YOUR HOT CHEESE!"

As soon as they managed the lock on the bathroom door, they would find a HUGE window, toilet, and sink inside. But no soap. Barney was mean. SO MEAN.

Jim hadn't realized that the key was supposed to be in the fondue. He thought he was just supposed to get past Bob.

Then he saw the key bounce off Bob's head. He shrugged, picked the key up, and rushed to the door, unlocking it. "Okay, that was fun."

Hoshi was giggling. Nothing weird about that, except Hoshi wasn't the type to giggle. "That was funny!"

"Any day I can burn a copy of a legendary game show host is a good one," Jim said, opening the door to the bathroom. "Ladies first."

"Thanks," said Hoshi, stepping into the bathroom and looking around. It was pretty small, enough to trigger a claustrophobia attack under normal circumstances, but at least there was one huge window. "Guess that's where we make our escape."

"Yep," Jim said. "Just jump down and we're done. You want to go first or do you want me to be a guinea pig and see if that'll work?"

"I think I'd better go first," said Hoshi, glancing around nervously. "The less time I spend in small spaces, the better." She opened the window, looked at how far down the ground was, took a deep breath and jumped out feet first.

Jim followed, jumping out, yelling, "Wheee!"
