fandomhigh | Young Entrepreneurs; Monday, Period 6 [ 01/26 ].

The classroom was set up as usually, with the desks pushed together to create a table for everyone to sit around, with doughnuts and coffee available for everyone, and hopefully maybe even some pie if Ned was on the ball about it. She waited until everyone got in before starting.

"Entrepreneurship," she began, "is all about making money. Simple and straight. The way to make money, however, is by providing either a product or a service, or perhaps even both, that people are interested in, can get excited about, and want to get their hands on. One of the things YA focus on each semester is doing just that: offering a product or service to our fellow students and making money off of it. Last semester, we ~~kind of sort of~~ did some tent things; they went over okay. Today, we're going to have a meeting and discuss possible ideas on what our big project can be. Ideas? Thoughts? What's something that Fandom could need that only Young Entrepreneurs can give them? Nothing final needs to be decided today; we'll just throw around ideas today, and see what our brainstorming creates."

"It's good," he said. "Very sweet, but less cold than the ice cream." He smiled at her.

Turtle gave a small smile back; she kind of had to. You couldn't help it with Leto's smile. "They make the coffee," she said, "almost bearable."

Her smile was adorable. "Why is coffee made in a way that makes it barely bearable?" he had to ask.

"Oh, I'm sure it's bearable to a lot of people," Turtle admitted. "I'm just not a fan. I think it tastes gross." She scrunched up her nose, stuck out her tongue a little. "But it's a staple beverage for any entrepreneur, so sometimes you have to just suck it up and take it like a professional."

"I have no objection to the way it is made here," Leto said, "Although I prefer the Fremen coffee." He took another bite of his donut.

"Which has got that spice stuff in it, right?"

"It has," he confirmed with a smirk. "It's in most of our food. And I won't offer it to you, for fear of retribution from the school administration."

Turtle snorted a little bit of a laugh. She wouldn't even touch something she sold herself because it was suggested to have addictive properties. Even if Leto did offer, she was definitely staying far away from something straight out classified as a drug. "Does it change the taste at all?"

"The taste is similar to cinnamon," he explained, noting her reaction. "So what food and drink do you like, Turtle?" he continued.

[bedtime!]

"Anything that's not coffee?" Turtle offered with a small grin. "Anything with sugar's usually pretty good, too."

"Sweet is to your taste, then? I should keep that in mind." He returned the grin.

Turtle blinked, finding herself very suddenly blushing at that, which she told herself it was stupid and she should stop. "Yes, well," she said, trying to sound dismissive. "All the best stuff is made out of sugar; it's just a fact."

"Oh." Leto's reply expressed no opinion, but he still smiled at Turtle, looking thoughtful.
