fandomhigh | Lawyering Up: Week 8, Wed, Period 2

"Change of plans," Nathan said as he passed out that week's handouts. "This week we're covering Estate law. Your estate is your possessions. When you die - which I'm sure many of you felt was coming soon depending on how much you had to drink over Spring Break - this is the branch of law that covers what happens to your things.

"Everyone should have a will," Nathan said, with the confidence of one who came from a family where wills were drawn up as soon as children were old enough to sign their names. "Without one the government gets to decide who gets your things. Not uncommon? The government decides that it's going to keep your things. So you need something that prevents that from happening, even if all you own is your favorite pillow case.

"In your packets is a sample will." Nathan gave them a grin. "Don't worry, it's not legally binding. What I'd like you to do is read through, get the gist of what they're looking for, and then write up a will of your own. If you don't feel like giving out personal information as part of a class assignment, feel free to make up your assets and beneficiaries."

"Nope," Lana said. "I'm totally free."

"Let's do something fun then, since I missed out on Mexico," Chris suggested.

"I'd really like that," Lana said. "I had fun, but it would have been so much nicer if you'd been there. As it was, I only had cute cabana boys to flirt with."

"Well, you wouldn't have wanted to flirt with me last week," Chris said. "A red nose, watery eyes and constant blowing of the nose are not very sexy."

"I always like flirting with you," Lana said loyally. "I might not have wanted to kiss you, but I would have flirted."

Chris chuckled. "I wouldn't have kissed you. I wouldn't want to get you sick."

"Oh," Lana said suddenly. "I just remembered what I'd wanted to tell you. I got a letter from the University of New Haven Program. I'm pretty much getting a full scholarship for the program. Apparently Agent Gibbs from NCIS contacted them and put in a good word for me, so they're now really happy to have me."

"Good," Chris grinned. "They should be glad to have you. I'm really proud of you."

"Thanks," Lana said. "I'm just so excited that everything seems to be working out!"

"So am I," Chris said.

"So, this weekend," she said. "Go away somewhere or stay here and tell everyone else that we've gone?"

Yes, that was a bit of a wicked grin there.

Chris snickered. "I like the way you think."

She just grinned, then gave him her best innocent look, before grinning again.
