Sex Ed, Monday [3-2] Third Period

[screwyoumarvel]

"Welcome back," Steve said. "I hope you all enjoyed your break, and that everyone is minus any new regrets and not too horribly sunburnt. Today I'd like to talk about peer pressure. Peer pressure is a terrible thing. You're sitting there, minding your own business, and then your so-called 'friends' tell you 'everyone else is doing it' or 'you'll be a loser if you don't,' and the next thing you know you're wearing a suit that cost more than should ever be spent on clothes and fighting a Nazi made out of bees in the middle of a Las Vegas casino. So it's bad, is what I'm saying. Don't do it. And when people try it on you, whether they're trying to get you to have sex or get a tattoo or buy stupidly expensive clothes or register with the government, tell them to get lost.

"Your assignment for today is to resist peer pressure. You can get into pairs or groups, whatever works well for you, and one of you will resist peer pressure applied by the others, who are trying to convince you to eat a bacon cookie. Have fun."

"Well, I've got some experience with baking things and I've never come across a recipe for a bacon cookie," he said dubiously. "Are all the cookbooks wrong?"

"They're not wrong, per se," Edmund replied reassuringly, "but considering the nature of Fandom, it could well be something that no one has ever tried in your world or mine, but be a delicacy in many other worlds. If you tried it, you could well be in a position to introduce the recipe to your world and make people there realise what they'd been missing."

"If you're so high on it, why don't you eat it?" Ned wondered.

"I've eaten recently. I wouldn't want to get bloated." He never thought he'd be saying that to someone.

"But it's a bacon cookie!" Ned said, not able to get past that. "It just sounds gross."

"Do you like bacon?"

Re: Activity

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Ned answered.

"Then you'll like this. It's bacon, but sweet. A lot like bacon with syrup, which I never thought I'd like, but now wouldn't do without."

"I'm just worried that the unusual mix might make me ill," he said but he was leaning ever closer to trying. Curiosity was a dangerous thing.

"Have a small bite then. If you like it, you can eat more. If you don't like it, you can politely spit it out and at least you'll have tried."

That seemed fair. "That seems fair," he said, holding out his hand for the bacon cookie. Politeness, it seems, won out for Ned.

Edmund courteously offered the totally modded plate with the bacon cookie on it.
