The costume shop had gotten Tyler's order wrong, and (after swearing at the box for a good ten minutes) he decided to go with it. That was why he was leading class today dressed as a large purple rhinoceros from a children's TV program. He'd even slung a guitar around his neck for verisimilitude.

Tyler gave a theatrical sigh. "If you show up early enough to make posters, you can make them as glittery as you want."

Ino blinked at him innocently.

"So, say, five in the morning?"

Innocent! Really!

Oh, that was not a good thing to call an insomniac's bluff on. "I can be in my office then."

She shrugged, and grinned. "I'll be there."

Her alarm was set for four anyway, no matter the date.

"Fantastic," Tyler decided. He wasn't sure if he'd won or lost
