"There is a saying on this planet that before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes and that way you're a mile away and have their shoes," Anakin began, holding a piece of paper in his hands.

Do you have a bad feeling about this class? Do you?

"In that spirit, I have paired each of you up with a classmate. Your assignment over the next week is to spend two days together, one for each student. You'll show how you live, what you're studying and what you do with your spare time in an effort to foster understanding of the various cultures and backgrounds that are pushed together here in Fandom. Your other teachers have been given notification of this assignment as well, so don't worry about interrupting their classes with your new shadows."

He glanced at the paper. "There are 17 of you in this class , which means that the odd person out is paired with me. Congratulations, Ulrik, that's you."

Hope you enjoy children, Ulrik...

"The rest of you, please listen for your names, then go meet up with your new friend." Because he knew how Fandom students could be, he added, "Actually wearing their shoes is not necessary."

Anakin then read off the following pairs because the RNG is cruel:

Jessica Drew & Korra
Miriam Black & Sholeh Zeela a Zhahar
Anakin Solo & Matt Murdock
Chaz Villette & Bucky Katt
Stannis Baratheon & Peeta Mellark
Marasiah Fel & Atton Rand
Alec Lightwood & Minako Aino
Sparkle & Jim Kirk

"Well, it's not my fault if he starts badgering you for personal details," Atton said. Mind, he had a broad definition of 'badgering', but still.

"I also don't have to give them." This was a girl who was going to make very sure no one send her any confidential communications two days this week, after all.

"That's usually been my strategy," Atton agreed.

If he wasn't sleeping straight through class. Or twitching at the emotion rolling off of the idiots taking it all a little too literally.

"This was easy enough." She was actually sort of proud of them.

"Yeah, yeah," Atton said. "I say we end this thing with a drink on Friday night."

If they were going to be stuck with each other for two days, he wasn't going to jinx them getting along.

"I had actually assumed that would be happening," she admitted.

"Good, you're learning," Atton said. "So... I'll see you on Thursday."
