Wednesday: What was the school board thinking giving Jamie Madrox a teaching position?

Yes. The students were meeting in hallway of the faculty offices. Specifically outside a certain teachers office.

There were also brown robes and a lot of handbells.

“Hello class,” Jamie said cheerfully. “Today we’re here to honor one of our longest reigning faculty members. He’s been teaching ethics as long as I can remember and because of his dedication I have decided to honor him the best way I know how.”

Suddenly two dupes appeared with a large banner that they started hanging up in the hallway. The banner read:

Happy Anakin Skywalker Day!



“Now I bet you’re wondering... How can I make Professor Skywalker happy and honor his tenure here? Well I went out to the wonderful world of the internet and asked those who know him best how to do that. And luckily I was able to find one volunteer to help us out. Kids? Meet one our favorite alumni, Bel Thazor!”

If Bel thought it was weird being back in Fandom and on this side of the classroom (and not recognizing a single face among the students), it didn't show, because he was grinning like mad. Really, how could he pass up any opportunity to harass Anakin? Especially in the name of education?

"Hey, kids," he said. Okay, he felt a little old. "I went to school here with Anakin, so we go waaaaaay back. So I know all sorts of ways you can show your appreciation. Jamie's got the robes and the bells, but he's missing one little item." He reached into the bag he was carrying and pulled out a handful of clip-on hair extensions, braids in every hair color (and a few unnatural ones). "See, he used to have this dorky braid in his hair, so I'm sure he'd love it if you all wore one in his honor. And if you really want to get on his good side, tell him that his wife is hot. Or his daughter is. He'll really appreciate that." Belthazor: master of subtlety.

“His daughter is pretty hot,” Jamie agreed. “Especially when she isn’t two. However I wouldn’t actually recommend marrying his daughter in a secret wedding. That just might annoy him. A tad.”

Insert awkward cough here. Yep There it was. “Can you think of any other ways of showing Anakin our appreciation, Bel?”

Bel did have the other daughter in mind there, and he gave Jamie a Look when he mentioned marrying the younger one.

"Ask him about Padme," he said. "He likes to talk about her. Or ask him about the other Ethics class and how that inspired him to teach his own version. I mean, he must've really loved it to go into teaching it, right?"

“I guess,” Jamie said scratching his head in confusion. “Though the previous ethics teacher was kind of a dick. With a really bad asthma problem. And an anger problem. And I think a weird obsession with IKEA.”

"Oh, not him, the first Ethics teacher," Bel clarified. "Tara. Ask him to compare and contrast his class with hers. It'll show you're really interested in the topic."

“All right then!” Jamie said clapping his hands together to show that, yes, the true activity was about to begin. “All good ways to show how much we love that Anakin Skywalker oh so much. But to kick things off, I’ll need you to pick out a bell, put on the robes and the hair clips and sing a certain song.”

A song that certain dupe was handing out lyric sheets to what was assuredly Anakin’s favorite song.

“Remember to ring the bell once after each line. And try to ring that bell as sullenly as possible!”

Jamie and Bel were so dead.

Karla just stood there, pointedly not singing along.

Big, feathered, clingy boyfriend, right here. Yep. And Warren didn't particularly care who saw him acting like a big gooey half-petrified teddy bear, either.

Mostly. Except that his wings were draping around them both like a curtain, now. Nobody could find them in here! Which would be far more effective if his feathers weren't all standing on end and the final result didn't leave them looking like a huge white powder-puff with legs.

One hand held Warren close to her, the other wandered out to bury itself in a wing and gently try to smooth the feathers down. More phantoms hands joined it as Karla buried her face him his chest. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she whispered, her usual hatred of apologies vanishing in the face of his distress.

The hands on his feathers helped, somewhat, and Warren sighed and leaned forward to rest his forehead against her shoulder.

And now he felt silly.

"It's okay," he murmured back, giving her a little squeeze before relaxing his grip and backing off slightly. Just slightly. "Sorry. Too much coffee today."

It was a perfectly suitable freaking-out-in-class excuse, thank you.

She pulled him back in for another squeeze before easing up and letting him back off again. "S'my fault," she said. "I was dumb. I'm still not up to a hundred percent yet. Makes me say stupid shit without thinking."

Not up to a hundred percent yet? She wasn't even back up to a hundred pounds. But still. Not an excuse to be so thoughtless.

K-Mart had decided after the first class to pretend Jamie was just a slightly mixed-up escapee from a mental ward.

This... was doing nothing to change that decision.

But she was a senior, didn't have Anakin's class to worry about a grade in, and figured what the hell?

K-Mart did her best to get through the song without giggling -- because really, that song! -- and then there was the bell thing, and then she was done.

And grateful.

"I told you, Anakin and I go way back," Bel said, trying (and failing) to be so very innocent. "I'm sure he'd love me lending a hand here."

No, no he wouldn't.

Oh no. There was just no way Mercy was getting involved in this.

"Then you should attack this assignment with equal enthusiasm," Bel smirked.

Except licking doorknobs probably wasn't fatal. Probably.

Mercy carefully muffled the bell in the robe she was wearing and - surprise, surprise! - didn't sing the song. She had no desire to die, thankyouverymuch.

And yeah, she was FAR more worried about Professor Skywalker than Jamie Madrox!

Sam didn't know Professor Skywalker which is exactly why he thought this idea was almost kind of nice. If he'd known better, he would have been horrified like everybody else but now he was just wondering where Jamie's soft spot had come from.

Annie was not singing. Not really. What she was doing was mumbling something, like you do in church, or at sporting events when you don't want anyone to know you have no idea what the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner really are. And there was maybe a lot of trying to hide behind her hand.

If she couldn't see anything, it wasn't really happening.

"But I don't wanna die!" Annie blurted out.
