Romance 101, Wednesday, Period 4 -- Class 6

[carpe_demon]

"You're in luck," Drake greeted the class, "today I'm not going to make you sing or dance or chat each other up for dates. Today you just have to observe." He snapped his fingers, conjuring up an old fashioned film projector. "I'm going to show you a little movie called 'Love, Actually,' a romantic comedy that covers about a month and a half of time and all sorts of different aspects of love and romance. Watch, learn, continue to be cynical...but at least enjoy Hugh Grant dancing like a dork."

Really, Ben sent back, eyes focused on the movie. What's that character's name, then?

*That's, err, umm, you know! That guy! I don't know! He's not all that important to the plot!*

Because when it came to romcoms, Colin Firth was known for his habit of playing bit parts.

Ben snorted. Right. What's on your mind?

Re: Watch the movie [Romance 101 - Class 6]

*Right now? That everyone in this movie is stupid and running around to do stupid things.*

Bitter a little more, why don't you?

She sighed. Just...stuff. I'm in a mood. I'm allowed to be in a mood. Well within my rights and everything.

Of course it is, Ben said, keeping his mental voice light. Need your ice cream date sooner than later?

*Wanna go right after Reserves?* Karla asked, shooting him a grateful look. *Though radio will probably tell everyone it was a date.*

Ben rolled his eyes. Because I care what the squirrels think. They also think Ender and I have some kind of thing going on.

*Which is just outrageous,* Karla said, giving him a small smile. *Everyone knows your heart belongs completely to Chilly Boulder.*

Ours is the kind of love so few understand, he said, grinning back.

Karla rolled her eyes. *Well, it's definitely the kind of epic romance people write about...*

Re: Watch the movie [Romance 101 - Class 6]

[momslilassassin]

Ben smiled. The next movie will be about it, I'm sure of it.

*Cold Body, Warm Fudge?* Karla suggested. *Thirty-One Flavors...of Love!*

Re: Watch the movie [Romance 101 - Class 6]

Ben's laugh was a little strangled sounding. Those don't seem like class-appropriate movies.

*They're about a male's passionate love for ice cream!* Karla protested. *What could possibly--oh.*

Someone was remembering the titles and descriptions of the videos at Dites'. And blushing furiously.

[momslilassassin]

Ben didn't reply, but his Force-sense was decidedly amused.

Karla stuck her tongue out at him and settled back in to watch the movie.

Huh. When did it get funny?
