Journalism: Thursday, Period 4, Class 12

For once, Jonah didn't say a word until the bell rang. And even then he paused and looked at his students for a moment.

"Well?" he finally said. "THERE ARE ZOMBIES INVADING THE ISLAND! WRITE ABOUT IT! I expect a full page article from everyone next week detailing a story of Fandom in the throes of an invasion of the undead! Now, start writing, start preparing questions to ask zombie survivors or maybe the zombies themselves!"

"I'm here to teach you how to be a journalist, not how to be a monster fighter," Jonah said. "You can focus on that second thing next hour, but for now you're an observer and recorder of the news."

Rikku folded her arms. "Then people might die," she snapped. "Can't I go kill the monsters and then record whatever I observed?"

"Nope! Nobody's leaving my class to risk death," Jonah said. Except for Buffy. But she lied about it. "Anyway, it's not like there aren't enough other people around here willing to pick up the slack for you for an hour."

"That's not the point!" Rikku huffed, clearly lacking any sense of self-preservation. "I'm a Guardian. I'm supposed to protect people, not sit around writing about it!"

"No, during this hour, you're a teacher's assistant, so that's exactly what you're supposed to do!" Jonah said. "If you don't like it, I can make sure you spend a Saturday in detention instead of protecting people!"
