"I'm assuming no one had anything embarrassing happen to them this weekend," Dana greeted the class as she stood in front of her desk. "Disappointing. Anyway, it means we get to talk shop sooner. Aren't you all happy.

"Shows are different, depending on where you're working. Some of them have writers who will shove papers in front of you and you sit in front of a camera and read the news all pretty without having any idea what you're talking about," she went on. "The newscasters who actually have a clue and any real credibility write their own stuff. And absolutely no news ever- be it sports, political, entertainment, whatever- has the same news all the time. If you watch CNN, the coverage is different than it was this time even a month ago. That stupid Ryan Seacrest thing on E! has new stuff to talk about every day. You can be watching the local news and they'll interrupt for breaking news that just popped up right now. This is a good thing. You'd get bored watching the same thing all the time anyway.

"In sports, the news goes along with the seasons. With the Super Bowl, we've finished football and are moving on to baseball's spring training, and to basketball. As seasons end and approach, you start hearing about deals and trades that are being made on the teams. Last summer we had the Olympics, which took over everything. But there's always a good mix of stuff going on.

"What you're going to be doing today is writing your own story. I'm not asking for a huge long essay. No, all I want is a quick little headline, something you'd read on the news to summarize what happened. Like 'So and so was traded from this team to this team for the amount of two bazillion dollars', or 'The Pretentiously-Named-Team beat the Non-Pretentiously-Named-Team in basketball today by a score of 312 to 51.' Yes, I just made those up right now. If you want to quote someone, great. We like quotes. Just don't plagiarize the info you've given to work with. Do your best, present them at the end of class. Yes, kids, you're reading aloud today. Had to make up for going easy last week."

Adora blushed, "I did have fun, but I think I said the word lovely about thirty times in ten minutes."

"Well, something must have really been lovely for you to say that," he laughed.

"I admit, I thought the table was rather lovely. And my drink. And I'm pretty sure I told Zayne that I was lovely and he probably is afraid of me now."

"Or he's intrigued and will want to know more about why you're lovely," he countered.

Adora laughed, "He did seem interested in talking again sometime. We'll see what happens. I feel like I owe a few of you another chance to talk to me without my trying to show you how pointy my shoes are." Oh the cringing.

"You were a little mumbly during our date but otherwise, it's fine," he assured her. Really."

"Fine, then I won't take you out sometime," she replied.

"...okay," he said and frowned. "If that's what you want."

"I want to make it up to you and thank you for being...you," she told him. "And I'd like to do that not in class, but I don't want to rope you into anything you find unnecessary."

"Which is fine but my comments were to try and make you stop apologizing for a bad date," he said. "I don't mind going out with you. Not at all. But it wouldn't be payback or to make up for anything. It'd be because you wanna."

"Oh!" That certainly made her smile. "Then I wanna. Want to. I think we'd have fun!"

"I'm sure we would," Hannibal said, nodding. "We're good at that."

"That's because you are very entertaining," she decided. "And if there is punch I will not lose my mind."
