The Library (12/16/05)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet has no classes today, so she opens up the library, flips on the lights, and plots ways to get revenge on Jack O'Neill. Oh, and she works. Really. She is in no way browsing through webpages and ordering supplies for any future pranks when she goes on vacation.

She also puts up a sign:

RETURN YOUR LIBRARY BOOKS. NOW.
THE STAFF IS GETTING CRANKY.
ALSO: ZERO. MALLET. GET THE IDEA?

THE LIBRARY IS CLOSING EARLY
FOR THE INVESTIGATORS' CLUB MEETING.

"At the end of the day?" Janet looked stunned. "But the semester doesn't end until next week. That's horrible."

She pulled a second apple out of her backpack and bit into it. "I have no idea. It just started smoking. And I certainly didn't sabotage it myself so I could have an excuse to throw my BFF and my roommate in the closet together for the night. Bridge, Cally, and Anders can fix it, though."

Angela shrugs. "Mr. Jerusalem assigned it, like, before Thanksgiving, so we had time. I'm just procrastinating a lot."

"If Bridge Carson fixes your fridge, it might actually fill itself. Or else talk." She chews a bit of apple ppensively. "I think I'd rather it filled itself, y'know? I so don't need my refrigerator to, like, yell at me about how many calories are in what I'm eating."

"Procrastination is a high schooler's best friend," said Janet.

"It won't be a normal fridge after that?" asked Janet, who had somehow managed to remain completely oblivious to all of Bridge and Cally's previous repair efforts. She frowned. "It might yell at me? Isn't a toaster that rhymes bad enough?"

"I don't know if it'll yell at you," Angela says, "But they fixed Marty's cell and now it dispenses Jordan almonds, and Rory's laptop makes waffles." She tilts her head from side to side, considering. "I mean, I think they're way too nice to make anything that would actually be mean, but sometimes things they fix do weird stuff."

Janet shook her head. "I think I'm not going to ask and just hope for the best." She took another bite of her happle and chewed for a minute, before swallowing and answering Angela. "No, you're right, they're all too nice to do anything like that. I just have to wonder what I got myself into. Though waffles are starting to sound really good right now."

"They do. We should ask Rory to bring her laptop to the library with her for the club this afternoon," Angela says, then considers. "I mean, does she come to I-Club? I was just assuming for some reason."

"She was at the last meeting," said Janet. "So she should be at the one today. Maybe we'll have time to run to the NPC Grocery Store and pick up some maple syrup before the meeting."

"I can do it," Angela volunteers. "It's my three-month anniversary with Marty, and we were going to do a picnic in my room anyhow. So I need to go to the store."

"I'm glad Rory is doing the club, after what happened to her."
