Library, 1/31

Well-armed with coffee and muffins from her trip to the Perk, Angela sets up camp behind the collections desk. Idly, she wonders where the Librarian is.

In between bursts of library work, she's trying to read some Flannery O'Connor short stories. Yet, somehow, she can't keep her mind on the words.

But she is there to help with all your library needs.

"You don't want to know. Trust me. Let's just say it was my da's birthday party an' leave it at that, yeah? Of course," Zero realizes, "Between my parents, they've broken pretty much every law on the books. An' they're good people. At least, I think so. So maybe that's not the best way. I don't know."

Angela nods. "Yeah, I guess I just need to ... see what happens, y'know? But I am hoping no more hit men. One is enough for a lifetime."

Zero snorts. "Squall, I doubt you have to worry about that. Even here. Who actually meets two hitmen in their lifetime?"

"Watch me find another one. Seriously. I mean, there's more than one Chosen One, why wouldn't there be more than one hit man?"

She glances at Zero. "Speaking of which, is the Library okay? The new principal wrote "chosen one of rock" on his application and I filed it. Wanted to make sure it wasn't preparing to blow up, or anything."

"Noooo," Zero says slowly. "It doesn't care. Janet does."

Angela snorts. "That's what Rory and I figured. Just wanted to check with you, 'cause you have the contract and all."

"We aren't telling people not to write it anymore. Janet can deal."

Zero privately thinks Janet can be pretty scary herself, but she doesn't say anything. It's Angela's funeral. "Mmm," she agrees, and flips the page in her novel. "Why on Earth would they have a traditional Christian wedding ceremony? He's a bloody pirate and she's a ninja!"

"So the author can describe the wedding dress and the wedding night?" Angela suggests. "Or maybe it's to show they're converting, or something."

"The wedding dress is kind of concerning, too. I don't think they had white silk cheongsams in the Gulf of Mexico in sixteen fifty-whatever. Wouldn't they have been much more likely to, y'know, live in sin? Oh, oh, and now we get to the wedding night."

Angela raises her eyebrows. "Fabulous. Watch her get pregnant. They always do, in those books. And then the epilogue has the perfect little baby."

"Oh, oh. You're right. Boy or girl..." Zero flips ahead to the epilogue. "And after the most stunningly easy labor in, y'know, history, it's a girl!"

"And they all lived happily ever after?" Angela asks. "Hey, did Jubilee leave any other books?"
