Study Hall -- Wednesday, November 2nd

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Sarah's at the front desk, staring blankly as she leans over a notebook and clutches her head. Her mind seems to be elsewhere, and it's probably a bad idea to talk to her.

The puppies are back, sleeping in the basket in front of the desk and available for people to cuddle for comfort.

"A horse then. If you insist." Parker grins. "I have to start working on my Christmas list early...."

"Can you buy stables too? I don't think the Dean will be too impressed with a horse inside the dorms."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Parker says, looking completely serious. "So, should I get you a saddle too? In case she lets you ride it. And boots?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron blinks as she does seem serious. "You're kidding, right?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

She shrugs. "Well, I was to start with, but honestly, if you thinks she'd *like* a horse-- why not? It's an Earth thing, maybe she'll have fun with it."

"Oh man, horseriding is actually a good idea." Cameron suddenly gets sidetracked. "You don't know if you can hire horses anwhere on the island, do you?"

Frowning, Parker shakes her head. "I don't know. But the local parks and recreation usually do. Maybe if you called the Chamber of Commerce, they could point you to someone?" She grins. "So if it turns out she likes it, I should get her a palomino, right?"

"I can ask Red, I need to go into town tomorrow anyway." He grins at Parker. "Somehow, I think she'd want an arabian."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Take an escort, if you do?" Parker isn't looking at him, she's tickling the puppy. "Please?"

"And oooo, you're right. Arabians are *much* better. If it wouldn't go even beyond *my* budget, a racehorse. You know she'd like that. Especially the betting!"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron frowns. "Why would I need an escort to go into town?"

"She would," he rolls his eyes. "Don't encourage her."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Someone was attacked there, last week, and... probably badly hurt, at least. Alanna told me." She continues to pet the puppy. "I know you're a guy, but, if you're there after dark, that's not too much to ask, right?"

"Heh. I really ought to introduce her to on-line betting. She'll be begging you to go to Vegas, next."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't go after dark. Just after my morning run," he frowns. "Although, if things are so tense maybe I should keep my plans for tomorrow to campus only."

"Dude, there are far more romantic places to go than Vegas like Sea World."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"At least for a while," Parker says in relief. "Can't hurt."

"Don't diss Vegas. Crichton's and my imaginary wedding is going to be in Vegas. With karaoke."

"Anniversary in the dorms isn't really the greatest date ever, though." Cameron sighs.

"With or without Elvis?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"No, but, safer...." She looks torn. "You could always go during the daytime?"

"With, of course. Young Elvis, not old Elvis. That's no fun." She grins. "His dad is going to have to sing Tom Jones."

"I would, but I've got class until 19:15." He shrugs. "It might be moot as I need to make sure she's free."

He merely shudders at the image and hopes she'll stop trying to break his mind some more.
