Love & Romance, Hollywood Style [Period 4, Class 2]

[carpe_demon]

Drake was deeply engrossed in a book when the students began to arrive to class. Behind him, a piece of chalk was moving by itself on the blackboard, writing out a pair of quotes: "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while" and "I know that a life without love is no life at all."

"And they all lived happily ever after," Drake said after a moment, closing his book. "Most of you have probably heard those words; they're commonly used to end fairy tales and movies inspired by them." He snapped his fingers, and an old-style film projector appeared. "For example, meta for Ever After and The Princess Bride." The projector began to play clips from both the movies.

After the clips had finished, Drake addressed the class again. "So, do you think happily ever after can happen in real life, or is it just a fairy tale? Oh, and Fiona, since you missed the first class, you're my second TA. Surprise!"

Jon stopped after class was over. "So, in case you hadn't heard on the radio, I missed class last week due to an alien plague."

"That's a new one," Drake said. "Did you turn purple? Or break out in stripes?"

That probably would have been funny. "No. More like slipping into a coma and eventually dying. Only, I didn't have it, they just pulled me out for the week in case my being here caused it to spread here."

It totally made sense when Carter explained it.
