Adventures in Literature, Wednesday, Period Three [Class Sixteen]

"All right, kids," Drake greeted the class. "It's time for your favorite part of a class, finals, the part where we make or break your grade." Who was he kidding, he was a softie, he'd pass everyone. "You've got three choices for essay questions and one hour to write it. Pick one, and on your mark, get set...go!"

He snapped his fingers, conjuring a blackboard with three questions written upon it:

A. What is so damn sexy about vampires? Feel free to use examples of people you know in Fandom or back home.

B. Pick two of the following characters and make them fight. Who would win? Robin Hood, King Arthur (not the one running around here, or he may sue you for libel), d'Artagnan, Achilles.

C. Quick! Invaders from Mars are on their way to destroy your town! What three books do you grab to take with you as you escape?

One. More. Time.

Handwave, summarize, or write me a paragraph if you're bored. Feel free to pass notes or hand signal your fellow classmates. ;)

Promise him you'll take his class next semester.

They'll be here all period. Try the veal.

I less-than-three you all like dark chocolate pudding.

Emma Frost

Didi

A. Nothing. They're pretentious and usually smell bad. It's a really lame way to cheat death.

B. I think Robin Hood beats everyone, because he's the only one who would fight dirty.

C. Alice in Wonderland, Confucius's Analects, and Heidi by Johanna Spyri.

"Thank you for a fun class," Didi told Drake as she lingered on her way out. "You're sticking around, right?"

"Of course," Drake said. "Unless Zoe decides she's had enough of me, I should be teaching 'Love and Romance, Hollywood Style.' Maybe I'll see you there next semester?"

When Didi got her exam back later, Drake had written the following by answer #1 (in red pen, of course, as was traditional):

I think you're on to something here. The glittering ones -- that's totally scented body glitter to cover up the dead smell, isn't it???

"A class where we get to watch happy movies? I think I can make room in my incredibly busy schedule for that, yeah," Didi affirmed. "Can you promise me at least one Disney princess?"

"I haven't picked all the movies yet, so I can work in a princess," Drake promised. "But a couple may be tearjerkers, so bring a hanky."

"I never mind things that are sad in the right way," she promised. "I'll see you in a few weeks."

There was no way Emma could answer the first question with a straight face, or without getting in trouble with Jack if he ever found out. And since she didn't really want a migraine, that one was a no-go. And the second option was lame.

Which left the third option, which was really the only sensible finals question.

C. Frankenstein, The Iliad, Les Liaisons Dangereuses. I cover three genres, and three very different works, and I should be able to entertain myself for awhile.

"Have a great break," Drake said. "And make sure that boyfriend of yours gets a little holiday spirit."

Didi ... wasn't exactly sure that was possible, given Jono's mood swings, but: "I've already bought him stocking stuffers."

It was probably best she didn't say that to Drake, or else Jono might end up with the island and Drake pelting him with candy canes.

"That reminds me, I still have shopping to do," he mused. "At least malls have a much better selection than your average creepy Underworld supply shop."

"T&C has something for everybody," Didi offered hopefully. "And, hey, local businesses are good!"

Francine Peters

A) They're not.
B) Arthur. The one that's running around here. He won't sue me.
C) The Princess Bride, The Final Unicorn, and Elegant Waste (because it's the only book Katchoo likes).
