Debt! And How to Get Out of It- 1st Period- Class #1

When Lily met the class, she greeted them with a cheery, "Hi, guys. I brought cookies. Feel free to take some to munch on. And now that I've won your adoration, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Ms. Aldrin. This class is all about debt, but I promise it's not going to be all heavy scary. I know some of you are going to be going off to college or out into the real world eventually, and want to give you a good basis on how you accumulate massive amounts of debt and how you deal with it so you're not freaking out all the time."

Lily was much better at the first thing than the second. Shhhh.

"We're going easy today, so I just want to know your name, your class, and if you had a million dollars, what would you spend it on? And I don't want to hear this 'I'd save all the starving children' crap. Let's be realistic: what's the most frivolous, off-thee-wall thing you'd do with it? Don't everyone say 'booze and whores.'"

Like you have a million dollars.

Adora, who'd buy you a fur coat (but not a real fur coat that's cruel)!

Hoshi Sato

Claudia Kishi, who would buy you some art (a Picasso or a Garfunkel)

Yakko Warner, who would buy you a monkey (haven't you always wanted a monkey?)

Or just grab a cookie.

Ooh! Miss Aldrin was providing baked goods! Adora sat back with a cookie and listened.

Hoshi didn't need baked goods as bribes, but it certainly helped.

JUNK FOOOOOOOOOD. Claudia was totally in love already.

Claudia was easily bought.

Yakko didn't take a cookie. He knew the score. He knew that Lily was just trying to get them hooked on sugar. The first one is free, then you have to pay up and all of a sudden, she's able to pay off her debt while your debt rises.

And then Yakko remembered that he really liked cookies and didn't pay for anything anyway. So he took a cookie.

So tell us a little bit about yourself.

"I am Adora!" She was sure everyone knew that already, but there was no reason not to share again. "I'm from Etheria and if I had a million dollars I would buy all of the shoes in Pixie Dust." She blushed red: heels were her weakness.

Lily gave her a big smile at that. "I knew I liked you. Though you might have some cash left over."

"My name is Hoshi Sato, and I'm going to be a senior this year," she began. "And really, I come from a time period where we don't really use currency, so it's tough to think of what I would do with a million dollars. But if I had it, I'd probably spend it on a really fabulous designer dress."

"Oscar caliber?" Lily wondered.

"Of course!" said Hoshi, grinning. "Something covered with sequins and plunging in the front that makes the most of my cleavage."

"Hi, I'm Claudia!" she chirped, waving. The dozen silver bracelets on her arm jangled together. "If I had a million dollars, I'd buy some tooooootally amazing artwork, like a Warhol. And then shoes."

Lily almost squeaked. "I love my class."

"I'm Yakko Warner and I'm a freshman," Yakko said. "And if I had a million dollars, I'd have it all changed in for pennies and build nice house out of them."

The shopping she could get behind. This... okay, it was Yakko. She knew not to expect normal here. "That's definitely frivolous, yeah."

She should have brought her guitar.

Morning sucks. Make it not.
