Bridge makes it to the library on time, once again sans coffee. Because there's no point in drinking the stuff if it's not actually caffeinated.

"I dunno, fighting the giant bear was kind of fun, o Blue Glitter Ranger," Z said with a smirk. Oh, look, is this the subject being changed?

"There is nothing wrong with glitter," Bridge says primly.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with glitter," Z agreed. "Or gold," for that matter, although not all that glitters is gold."

"Exactly. Literally, in that case, since I glittered but was not gold."

"While I was gold," Z mused, "but did not glitter."

"You were very shiny though," Bridge offers.

"That's true, I was very shiny," Z said, preening a little. "Sky was socks." She glanced around warily. "Is he here?"

"No," Bridge says with a little frown. "At least, I haven't seen him, which is kind of weird."

"Oh, good," said Z. "I just didn't want him to hear me call him socks."

Which, okay, totally makes Bridge giggle. "Yeah, his reaction would... not be pleasant, I'm sure."

"But he should be happy! He's done with school, too. Unless he has some other class I'm not in."

"I don't think so?" Bridge says, trying to remember.

"Even if he does, he'll be done with school soon. No more school, yay!"

"Yeah, yay," Bridge says, smile fading somewhat. He *likes* school, okay?

"I don't get that," Z said. "But then, it's not like I've ever been good at school."
