Detention [Saturday]

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

All of the students who'd earned or been given detention had been told to meet Fraser outside of the Danger Shop. And that's precisely where he was.

"Good morning," he said pleasantly. "I trust you all slept well and I thank you for being on time. Please enter the Danger Shop."



It is now seven-oh-six. You have exactly eight hours and fifty-four minutes four hours and fifty four minutes to think about why you're here. To ponder the error of your ways and you may not talk. You will not move from these seats and you will not sleep.

"Before you begin your detention," Fraser said, looking down at them, "I would like to hope that we never meet again in this circumstance. I once met an Inuit elder who said that, those who get into trouble once learn from their mistakes. Those who get into trouble twice obviously have hard heads and deserve whatever trouble comes at them next."

He smiled and then gathered up each person's snacks before shooing them into the Danger Shop library.

"I didn't wanna crash 'cause it didn't seem right, but he had to give me detention 'cause he gave it to you and to Jaina. Which don't make much sense to me but I ain't the teacher," Kaylee shrugged. "'Least it ain't too bad for a detention, I guess."

"Well, sorry 'bout that," John said. "I didn't feel the need to choose my own death for a class assignment and he seemed to take offense to that." And your attitude, John.

"Ain't nothin' wrong with that," Kaylee agreed. "I mean, that was part o'why I didn't do it. Known too many boys who decided to go joyridin' like idiots and crashed. Kinda heavy for summer camp, right?"

"Kinda heavy for anyone who'd come to this school," John decided. "But at least this detention isn't bad so much as boring." There was a bright side.

"Is it normally bad?" she wondered.

"Depends on how much you like leather. Or newts."

"What's a newt?"

"Like a lizard, only British," John informed her.

"Little lizards?" she asked, concerned.

"Well, people turned into them. I wasn't there that time, but it sounded like a good time."

Kaylee tilted her head. "I wonder what it's like being a lizard."

"You might get to find out if you're not careful," John said, fresh from another stint as a bunny.

"They're kind of cute," she noted.
