Donuts, coffee, and a perky Al Bhed girl sitting in the Journalism Room could only mean one thing. Time for the weekly Newspaper meeting!

"Probably," Warren agreed. "It was before Sunday anyhow. I usually see her Sundays."

Sundays were, after all, when she'd crash into Fina to visit.

"I thought that was Reno." Rikku stared at Warren. "'Cause he got me flowers and all? But why would he get Momo cookies? That's just weird."

Warren blinked. And then wrinkled his nose and shrugged a little.

"He's your boyfriend, right? Loud guy. Does that radio show on Tuesdays with the girl I burned the baby with in class?"

See? Warren totally paid attention to who was who.

"I don't see why he'd get her cookies. Especially not with a note."

"Nine months now," she agreed happily. "So he'd better not be leaving strange girls cookies."

She didn't seem all that concerned that he might, no.

"Huh. I wonder if some guy was just giving out lots of cookies, to girls he thought were hot or whatever?" Blink. "Okay, let's not tell Reno that."

Warren really wasn't smirking at all. Really.

"Let's not tell just Reno that? I wonder how many other girls in the school with boyfriends wound up with cookies."

It was entirely possible that someone out there was a dead man.

"They might not all have boyfriends who know how to dislocate someone's spine," she pointed out helpfully. "But wow, I can't believe whoever-it-is got off this light. And what was he trying to do, if he didn't sign the notes?"

Warren gave his head a shake.

"I guess until we find out who did it, we probably won't know for sure," he replied. "Clearly he didn't slip anything into the cookies, or the girls in the school would have noticed by now, right?"

Warren didn't trust anything that didn't come with a signature as a general rule. And even then, the authenticity of strange cookies tended to be rather suspect.

Rikku's eyes widened. "Slip something? Like a love potion? Or some kinda weird toxic thing? You don't think --"

She had eaten those cookies, dammit.

"In Fandom?"

...

Seriously, did she need him to explain further?

Re: Get Your Assignment or Volunteer for Something

[the_merriest]

"Okay," Rikku said, narrowing her eyes. "I say we do an investigative series and figure out who's been sending cookies around, and whether they're dangerous. And you should get her chocolates and be smart enough to sign them."

Because that was still the important part. Sort of.

Dammit, was he blushing again?

He would have to conveniently conceal this fact by ducking his head in sudden interest over his donut. Hey. Sprinkles.

"Raspberry truffles are her favorite," he conceded. And then- OH LOOK A DIVERSION! "I don't investigate, I rant," Warren pointed out.

To the donut.

"Good," Rikku said. "Get her some. For when you hang out on Sunday. And say something nice about her eyes. She has nifty eyes, did you notice?"

She could handle the investigation or whatever. Or maybe hand it off to her favorite Turk. Not what was crucial.
