NNSE, Monday, First Period [Dec 17]

"We find ourselves," Lulu said, as the class began, "at the end of our time together as a class. This means that it is time for your final examination.

"You should see before each of you a booklet and a pencil; you will have the entire class period to answer one question. I will say now that there is no one right answer to this final. What I am looking for is honesty and analysis of the course material." She wrote out the question on the board: What is the most important thing you, personally, have learned in this class, and why?

"If you wish to speak to me about the final, or about anything else, I will be in my office all the rest of the week. You can come by any time.

"You have one hour starting now. Good luck; I trust you all to do your best."

[Comments might go NSFW, as this is Lulu's class. Perhaps not the most traditional of finals, but then Lulu's not the most traditional of teachers. ;) ~~Pls to be waiting for~~ OCD is up!]

What's the most important thing you, personally, have learned in this class, and why?

Sokka gave the issue a lot of thought before beginning. He'd learned a lot of things in this class -- how to talk to Lulu without staring at her breasts, how to not run screaming from the class, that he shouldn't feel guilty every time he slapped Mr. Happy, that he wasn't the only person who got weird dreams from watching cartoons, that you shouldn't have sex so loudly that you spook the seals (he was a bit hazy on that one)...

So he shrugged and wrote something general about how sex is big and weird and full of anything that a person could ever think of, and that even when it was sick and twisted and wrong, it was still okay, and all that really mattered was the people involved.

And that he was too nervous to apply that to himself just yet. But that was okay, too, right? And besides, he was still young and the ladies loved him.

Rikku fidgeted a bit, and then started to write.

When you and I first started talking about this months ago, it was because I was starting to have all kinds of feelings that I couldn't even begin to understand. My body was being confusing and so was my head. I didn't know what I wanted, and I didn't even know if it was okay to want things.

I've learned a lot since then - that everybody thinks about these things. That you can share yourself with someone else in ways that will make your body feel amazing and your heart, too. That wanting to do that doesn't make you a bad person, and neither does not wanting to. That some people are ready early, and others are ready late, and that's exactly the right time for all of them. That some people like things that I might think are weird or gross, but I don't have to like what they like, and they might think things I like are weird or gross, anyway, so we should just do our own things and not worry about what everyone else would think. That it's okay for your body to miss someone separate from how your heart does.

I'm not sure what the most important thing of all that is. Maybe just that it's okay to ask questions and it's okay to dig around for answers and it's okay to feel things and it's okay to find out what you want, and it's okay to like things or not like things, and it's okay to not really know and figure it out as you go. That so long as you're safe and happy, and whoever else you're with if you're with someone is safe and happy, that's what matters. Right?

Also you didn't tell Pops this was a sex-type class, did you? Cause he might ask about it when I go home and, uh, I don't know what to say. (Yeah, I get that it's okay for me to know about this stuff, but that doesn't mean I have to tell Pops I think that, right?)

First: That you should never... EVER blow your nose with sandpaper.

Second: Oh, she may get weary. Them young girls they do get wearied. Wearing that same old miniskirt dress. But when she gets weary?
You try a little tenderness.

Anemone twirled her hair as she thought about it, because there had been a lot of things in class, and it had been kinda neat.

So she wrote a rather ramblingly paper about she'd learned that people had lots of different views about sex, and that whatever you liked was supposed to be fine as long as you and your partner(s) were safe and stuff, even if some people obviously have a screw or two loose, and that if you're going to be in a relationship, it's probably easier to keep your boyfriends and your girlfriends separate, because people were always going to be jealous about who was spending time with who and when.

After a good moment of considering the best way to answer the question, Turtle wrote, in what sounded heavily like a legal document, that the most important thing she's learned is that it was entirely possible to be conservative in your views of what one likes regarding the subject matter and still keep an open mind about the fact that everyone was different. Everyone liked different things, and as long as there was a proper agreement (the word contract appeared at least once, in an example, regarding her own experience), then it was all okay. So, for example, it was okay that one's significant other might have a seemingly unhealthy obsession with breasts, so long as it didn't interfere with the fact that she had no interest in them, nor did she really have them herself.

The end.

Jack wrote a rambling essay on how it's important to not look down on someone because they have different ideas and choices for what makes them happy in a bedroom-type situation, even if they're clearly insane.

Marco's essay may have made sense in his head. Maybe.

Katara wrote an incredibly random essay about how kissing boys was totally okay but you wanted to make sure they were okay with it too and sometimes that leads to pain and sadness but it was apparently part of life so everyone ust had to deal.

There was a lot for Haku to consider and he took it all as a learning experience, and he wrote on everything from a mostly scientific and medical view. Though he did admit on a few lines that he had new personal knowledge for things if he ever found himself in the situation to use Lulu's teachings.

Inara wrote her final on the importance of being frank and honest when instructing people of varying experience levels, and how there was nothing to be embarrassed about in regard to the human body. Or the alien body, she supposed.

Gavin wrote an essay on how a lot of things in this class made him blush and how he'd probably never ever need that knowledge but it was always good to know things just in case you ran into somebody with those beliefs. He also jumbled some stuff down about pleasing your partner and always making sure things were okay with them before trying anything new.

Anne's essay was a 12,000 masterwork of incredibly eloquent, obfuscative, complete dodging of the question.

Amongst other things, Jo's essay involved a long discussion of the relative values of various forms of contraception, with parents wielding shotguns being very low on the list.

When she makes with the ping in a pinging fashion.

Rikku's here. Considering her final, among other things.

Lulu's gathering up the exam papers, and looks like she might be in a bit of a rush, but she'll make time if you need her. And yes, she has the basket.

It's been a great class, guys. :D I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have.
