When the students got to the class room today, they'd find two things dominating the room: The DVD player, and a gigantic stack of silly hats of all shapes, sizes and colors. The bean bag chairs were back, too. Notably not in evidence was the teacher, but the TAs seemed ready to handle things.

"Hello," Jack said. He was wearing a colorful felt derby, which he thought suited him rather well. "Professor Mitchell couldn't be here for your last class today, so he left us in charge. We're ... exploring the importance of costuming to comedy."

This sounded better than 'we want to make people wear funny hats and laugh at them', yes.

He continued, "So put on your hats, note if they make you feel especially comedic, and sit back to watch Trixie & the Kittycats, which is a live-action adaptation of a vintage cartoon."

Kate, in her blue felt top hat, had been more than happy to sit back and let jack do the talking, but she had to chime in right before the movie started. "And we're totally making you wear funny hats just because you'll look ridiculous. And because we can. Enjoy the film."

"No. Not at all." Lies lies lies. Poor ones, even. "Should I be?"

Bod finished what he'd been doing and closed his notebook. "No? All right, then. I'll keep it to myself. That's fine."

"Fine," Kate repeated, crossing her arms over her chest and looking idly around, making a show of not caring at all.

Bod actually wondered how long she'd resist. He kept his notebook tucked near his leg, one hand on it so she couldn't steal it away. He grinned at her before slouching back in his beanbag and enjoying his last day of class.

She could resist a surprisingly long time, actually.

Not forever, though, and eventually she did reach out her hand to him. But without saying a word.

Without a word, Bod handed Kate his notebook. She'd have to flip through a few pages before finding what he'd drawn though.

[DUN JUDGE ME. WORK IS BORING.]

So, she flipped. And she found, and she saw.

And then she was laughing. Really a lot. In a trying-to-keep-quiet way.

Emphasis on trying.

[I DUN JUDGE YOU. YOU DORK. <3]

"Why are you laughing so hard?" he asked, trying to keep himself innocent. "That's art, Kate. You shouldn't laugh at art."

Even he didn't think it was art.

"Art can bring joy to people," she argued, managing to calm herself down even if she was still grinning. "Don't harsh my joy, Bod."

"Art is supposed to make you think," he decided, nodding. "Does that make you think?"

"That I'm still the artistically talented one out of the two of us?" she offered, teasing. "Yes, I think it's giving me ideas..."

"You should share them with me," he decided, nodding. "I'd love to know what my masterpiece evokes."

"I should totally come visit you," she said, nodding mock-solemnly. "And your door."

"You should," he said, nodding as well. "You know I'm oftentimes there. Your knock would be answered."

"And I have nothing to do, most of the time," she replied. "Knocking is something to do."

"It is," he agreed with a small smile. "So, you should come visit. Sometime. Sometime soon."

"How soon?"

"Very soon," he replied, nodding. "How soon would you like to visit?"

"Today?" she suggested. "Tomorrow?"

Impatient. What a surprise.

"I have one other class today but you should definitely come visit after," he agreed with a nod and a hidden smile. "I can get something to eat from town, if you'd like."

"Oooh, that would be awesome," Kate said. "Please do."

Hey, she liked food and she was lazy. Truly, he was the best boyfriend ever.

Truly he was even if doing that wasn't anything special. He liked food too. "The hat will be gone but you'll still have me...and the food. I hope that's sufficient."

"More than enough," she assured him. "And there's a door to make up for lack of hats, and everything."

"Then, me and my door will see you then, sans hats," he said and smiled. "I look forward to it."

[La la la there you go!]

"Me too," Kate smirked, nodding. "Now, watch the movie like a good student."

She proceeded to set an example, and watch the movie. Because she was a good TA!
