Sex And Candy, Wednesday, Second Period

[steel-not-glass.livejournal.com]

Cindy had left a note on the classroom door telling the students to head up to the Danger Shop. As the students arrived, they would see that it had been programmed to look like a beautiful garden. A closer examination would show that everything in the garden was edible--more than simply edible, even. Much of it was candy. Spun-sugar flowers decorated the path. The bark of the trees might be made of candied peppermint, or peanut brittle, or simple chocolate. Even the 'dirt' was made of crumbled cookie pieces, with gummy worms burrowing through. Colorful rocks were little pieces of hard candy and the weeping willow dangled branches of thin caramel over the path. The apple tree was growing candy apples, of every different variety, and the tiny lemon tree gushed lemonade when the bark was cut.

Today, class was held in a garden full of moddable candy and treats.

A really sharp observer might notice that there was no sign of Cindy.

"Dana Scully, junior," she said, looking chagrined at the handful of peanut brittle in her hand. "And I should have realized... anyway. My favorite fairy tale is probably Thurber's version of Little Red Riding Hood." Even if she hadn't typified it herself this morning.

Cindy grinned at Scully. "Good to see you again. And you might as well finish that, it's too late now." There. That was comforting. "Thurber's version? That's the one where Red pulls out her gun and shoots the wolf, right? Because little girls aren't as..." gullible? Was it gullible? "...as gullible as they used to be?"

"Exactly," Scully confirmed. "Most modern adolescents are wise enough not to be taken in by those kind of questions from the wolf any more. Of course," she said, thinking of various criminals she knew, "The wolves have gotten smarter too."
