[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

The gym was decorated, the DJs were playing, and the punch was not yet spiked.

Fandom High's Valentine's Day Dance had begun.

Sam couldn't help wondering what other top secret projects Josh might know about. Like, you know, those involving large wooshy metal rings that sent you to other planets.

"So it's all a conspiracy?" She rolled her eyes. "And Blair managed to stage a sit-in on Monopoly night, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did believe you. But what happens when he finds out they're oppressing the fairies and just using them for their dust? Then what?"

"I heard something about that during the Student Council meeting. And a pirate stealing money?" Josh looked confused. "And the fairies like being oppressed." He pretended to look shifty. "If they existed. Which they don't."

"It's just possible," Sam said, smirking, "that the pirate played a little too free and loose with the idea of ownership and absconded with everyone's money. He's the guy who runs the radio station. And hides out in the shrubs. Which seems a little odd for a pirate, but I guess a ship isn't real inconspicious."

Wow, talk about babbling...way too much punch, probably.

"Is it bad that I totally believe fairies exist now? And that their dust can power cars and reduce our reliance on foreign oil?"

"Yeah, a ship would be a little more noticable," Josh said, completely ignoring the shrub taking notes over by the snark corner.

"And you are free to believe in fairies," Josh said, winking. "As long as you never tell anyone about the secret cars. Because then there would be men with serious expressions and cheap suits and I'd have to come up with some kind of excuse for where you went."

Re: Chaperones - Professor Lyman

"Y'know, they really should pay those guys more. The suits are a dead giveaway." She shook her head. "Sorry, I've been spending too much time with Parker, I think. But they're really noticeable. And, er, abducted by aliens seems to be a popular excuse right now."

So what if in her case it would probably be true?

"And the sunglasses inside, too," Josh said. "If you're not Bono, or, you know, Stevie Wonder, you pretty much look like a tool doing that."

He smiled. "Any particular kind of alien you'd prefer?"

"I like...er, think I'd like the little gray ones." She said, hoping he didn't notice her slip, then asked, "Does this mean that you don't have an inside scoop about what the aliens are like? What about Area 51?"

Re: Chaperones - Professor Lyman

"Of course not," Josh said quickly, looking around. "Aliens in Fandom, sure. Aliens in the rest of the world? Certainly not."

He raised an eyebrow. "Why? What have you heard?"

Re: Chaperones - Professor Lyman

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Only what I've seen on television and the people I've met here, of course." Sam responded. "I was just wondering if there was more that I haven't been told. For my own good, of course, because I'm clearly not capable of making a judgment on my own about that."

She blushed and began to fidget. "Er, sorry. Sore spot. My dad was Air Force, and I didn't get told a lot of things growing up."

Re: Chaperones - Professor Lyman

Josh tried not to smile and mention that Sam was probably still growing up.

He was successful with the second part, but not so much with the first.

"There's always more than what you've been told," Josh said.

Re: Chaperones - Professor Lyman

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam nodded and smiled slightly at the irony. "Oh, yeah."

Re: Chaperones - Professor Lyman

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"But not, you know, about the fairy dust cars."

Re: Chaperones - Professor Lyman

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Because those don't really exist. Gotcha." She winked at him.

Re: Chaperones - Professor Lyman

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh winked back, then made shooing motions. "Stop spending time with the teacher, no matter how cool I am. Go dance, or drink the punch that's been spiked despite my non-existent efforts to stop that from happening, or something."

Sam waved. "I'll see you in class then." She headed off towards the punch bowl.
