Library, [2/13]

The Library's open, and this morning, there are chocolates for the aides. Nobody else, though, so shoo!

[for all your library needs; but Parker leaves at 2pmEST]

Anakin smiled. "Okay, a lot of problems."

Rory nodded sadly. "So. Tomorrow evening? Or like, if that doesn't work for some reason, I'm planning on being in the common room again with Vladdie tonight. So like, you could get your picture or whatever. But I'll totally be around tomorrow night anyway, if you want to do a lonely hearts club thing, or something."

She raised an eyebrow. "Since I don't have anyone to spend Valentine's Day with, and all. I mean, unless you have a date."

Yeah, she actually thought that was really sneaky of her.

"I have no plans for tomorrow," Anakin said, eyes twinkling. "So I suppose even if I get the photos of Vladdie tonight, I could stop by."

"See, that would be fun. Since Valentine's Day alone, no matter how happily single you might be? Kind of depressing," Rory said woefully.

"And that's just not allowed to happen," Anakin said with a small smile. "So I'll definitely see you tomorrow."

"Absolutely," Rory said firmly. "My room sound okay?"

"It's a da...plan," he said.

"Yay!" Rory said, beaming.

"Um, is there anything library-related I can help you with?" she asked, remembering that her job was, in fact, not to flirt.

"I think I'm okay," Anakin said. "I'm just gonna go sit over there and work on my essays. So throw something at me if I fall asleep, okay?"

"Did you just say 'essays'?" Rory asked. "I thought you were working on ACJ? But, whatever." She waved a hand. "I will gladly throw things at you if you fall asleep. Or possibly just let you nap and keep you protected from the other aides, because I'm nice like that."

"Essay. Right. Just one." Anakin ran a hand through his hair. "Maybe I do need a nap."

"Maybe you do," Rory said, looking concerned. "Seriously, if you want to curl up in a corner here, I'll keep an eye on you so that no one goes and pretties you up, like we did to Lee."

Anakin hid a yawn behind his hand. "I think I will," he said, rubbing his eyes and heading for a not-terribly comfortable-looking chair. "Thanks."

"No problem," Rory said, going back to her notes, keeping a steady watch on Anakin.

Anakin buried his head in his arms and was asleep in a matter of minutes.

And so that none of the other aides would suspect anything - or, rather, so that Zero and Janet wouldn't suspect anything - Rory walked over at one point and set a small hat made of paper on Anakin's head.

And then resumed her watch from the desk.

Anakin woke up about an hour later and frowned.

"Jedi don't wear hats," he muttered.

Rory might have giggled from behind the desk. Would have been hard to tell, though, given that she was clearly engrossed in a book.

Anakin stomped over to the desk and dropped the hat onto Rory's head.

"Looks better on you," he said.

Rory looked innocent.

"Why, where did you get such an attractive hat?"

"Some gave it to me as a present," he replied. "I have no idea who. Do you think you could give it back to them?"

"Why would you want to return such a pretty gift?" Rory asked sadly.

"It is lovely," Anakin began, "but I really think it works better with your coloring."

He was a very, very bad liar.

"Uh huh," Rory said dubiously. "This is a very special hat, though. It has special powers, you see."

"Special powers?"
