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

Sometime earlier in the week, the students would have gotten a notice that swimsuits were optional for class today. And anyone fearing the reason why might feel relieved when they saw that the danger shop had been transformed into a cruise ship

But not just any cruise ship. It was a cruise ship staffed by Jamie Madrox duplicates in white uniforms.

"Welcome aboard students!" Jamie said as he doffed a captain's hat. "Today we're going to set a course... for LOVE!"

Suddenly the cruise ship was filled with music and song. The Jamies were singing and dancing around in a well coordinated choreography that included ballet, jazz, tap and lots of spirit fingers.

If the students weren't afraid now? They should be.

"Homecoming is coming up kids," Jamie said when the musical number was complete. "Which means... dating. And falling in love. Which for many of you might be a completely new thing. So to help you along I've used a scientific process to bring the most compatible people together in class and give you an optimal situation where you can interact."

Point of fact: Jamie's scientific process involved throwing darts at a dartboard. Possibly in the teacher's lounge and at his own face.

"Enjoy your cruise ladies and gentlemen... on the Love Boat."

"What do you mean, 'somehow'?" Squall asked. "Do you think there's a possibility it might NOT be a bad idea?" He was disappointed -- he had thought Karla was more astute than that.

"I mean, 'somehow, this is going to be a bad idea,'" Karla answered, giving Squall a puzzled look. "I haven't figured out how, yet. I'm pretty sure all the ways I'm imagining are all too mundane for him."

What did he think she meant?

Squall nodded, reassured. "Good. It sounded as if you weren't sure whether this was going to be a complete disaster. I don't care HOW it's going to be a disaster."

"How could it not be a complete disaster?" She pointed to Jaime in a captain's hat. "That? Right there? In charge? Means disaster. For all of us."

Squall nodded. "That was my point."

"...Did you think I was really dumb enough to be confused about whether or not this class was going to be idiotic?"

DAMMIT. KARLA USED TO LIKE SQUALL.

"No! That's why I was so confused!"

"Oh." Well, that was okay then. "But we're clear now? This class is bad news and I'm not stupid enough to be confused about that?"
