So You Say You Want a Revolution: Week 12, Period 3

When the students arrived in their classroom, they would each find a note on their desk. Each note read the same thing.

Dear Class,

By now you will have hopefully learned something that could be applicable to your home situation. Seeing as though many of you will be returning there this week due to the holiday weekend, discuss amongst your groups what you feel you could take from this class to use at home. Be prepared for your final non-exam class next week.

Love, Aly

Aly was no where to be immediately seen - though it was an interesting question if she were around and watching or not.

"It's a worthy cause," she said, laughing. "Also a delicious one. Revolution for pie! You're stayin' here, though?"

"I'm not sure," Karla replied. "I have a standing offer to have Thanksgiving with Dinah's family in Gotham, but I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll probably call her in a bit and see if I can bring a few guests along."

Though that would mean sharing the Alfred cookies. Hmmm.

"Are you staying?" she asked. "Because I bet between the two of us, we can claim all the pies tomorrow?"

"As much as I'd love help with all the pies--because we could easily claim all the pies--I can't," she said, lifting her shoulders and looking a bit rueful. "Zack and I are doin' what Zack and I do--and that's fleeing off to Midgar to be totally badass. Neither of us really celebrate the holiday, you know?"

"But--but--it's a holiday about eating!" Karla protested. "How could you not celebrate it?"

Look at her confusion, Ino! Just look! You have stopped making sense! Eating! And, you know, something about gratitude or whatever. Pie!

"Though the running off to be badass does make sense," she added, once she'd gotten over the hurdle of insanity right there. "I can see that."

Pie!

Ino, don't laugh at Karla's obvious confusion.

Don't laugh.

"We can be badass and eat," she supposed. "Perhaps I'll see if we can hit a fancy restaurant or something?"

Would that appease her highness?

Karla was sad on Ino's behalf! They were going to miss so much food! Turkey! Stuffing! Pie!

"It doesn't have to be fancy--" unless Ino liked fancy restaurants "--just, you know, warm and filled with comfort food. And wait an hour after you eat before going to be badass again. Don't want to get a cramp."

Fussing was almost a national sport in Kaeleer. Trufax.

"I'll save you some revolutionary pie for when you come back," she decided. Ino couldn't miss out on everything! Oooh, and maybe she could make them a mini-care package to eat. She had time to bake before they left, right?

Ino considered that. "I don't know that Zack and I have got the same comfort foods," she mused, "but I'll see what I can do."

The fussing got an amused eyebrow lift.

"Yes, Mother, we'll be careful," but said lightly--Ino didn't truly mind that sort of fussing, in this case. "And saving me pie would be awesome."

A care package would be taken with a smile, truly.

... And then Ino would attempt to see if the monsters in Midgar would eat the food. And lie a lot about the fate of the package to Karla...

They made excellent missile weapons! Not entirely aerodynamic, but very, very, very hard.

"What's your favorite kind of pie?" Karla asked. "I'd hate to save you some blueberry if you only eat apple or something."

Except then, she'd get more blueberry pie for herself! Delicious!

"And you only get pie if you come back uninjured." Karla didn't even try to keep a straight face when she said that. "There's a rule about that somewhere."

Yay, potions!

"I solemnly swear we'll come back uninjured," she said, grinning. "Unless, of course, we trip going through the portal from there to here. Will we be in trouble for that?"

A beat.

"Strawberry-rhubarb," she added thoughtfully. "Pumpkin. Apple and raspberry are nice too. Same with blueberry..."

Ino liked her pie. Piiie. All the pie?

Well, there went Karla's nascent plan to get extra pie. At the same time, Ino's view of things was eminently reasonable, so it wasn't like Karla could argue much. Pie was pie and therefore delicious.

"Tripping through the portal will be forgiven," she said loftily. "As will skinned knees, random bruises, and hangnails. Darkness, I don't want it to sound like you can't have any fun in Gaia."

"Hangnails aren't any fun at all," she said mournfully. "They sting."

Funny how Ino was fine with a broken bone and less so with a hangnail, but there you go...

"What sort of fun are we permitted, Mother?"

And Karla, you're being treated to Ino's puppy eyes. Fun? Fuuuun!

"Well, you're allowed to pick flowers and string daisy chains," Karla teased. "Maybe skip and sing, but be careful not to fall. Tea parties are acceptable and you can always fit more schoolwork in as well. Doesn't that sound like a lovely time?"

Her lower lip jutted out in a pout.

"That doesn't sound fun at all! Where are the monster fights and skulking around dark alleys and exploring the ShinRa Building?"

"Oh no," Karla said, shaking her head quickly. "Not that kind of fun. That's way too much too much fun for you two to have."

"Are you sure?" she wibbled. "We've been very good lately."

"Like how good is 'very good'?" Karla asked skeptically. "Are we talking like super-good? Or just regular old good?"

"Super good," she insisted. "Sunflowers and butterflies good even."

Okay, that was getting a giggly Ino.

Karla was going to start giggling at that image, too. "Well, then maaaaaaaaaaaybe," she said. "I guess I can allow the skulking. In shadowy alleys at the darkest."

"We promise to be very good at it," she said earnestly. "Doesn't that earn us some points?"

"Hmmm..." Karla said again, eying Ino intently. "All right, skulking and sneaking, but that's it. And only because you asked so nicely."

She laughed. "And any other fun you can completely disavow when you get back, of course."
