Advanced Journalism (Tuesday, February 21 - 2nd period)

Rita sat behind her desk.

No, not so much with the happy-looking.

"Good morning, Ms. Sullivan, Ms. Gilmore. Your assignment is a simple one. In class today, please write fifty words on why impersonation is wrong, or which circumstances might find it acceptable. Because we're doing this today, you have until tomorrow to turn in your assignment on campus couples. Questions?"

"Ya think?" Xander fingers John's brim. "Constable Mountie said I looked good in his hat, but I dunno. Not that I saw me in it, but somehow I suspect it's better on him."

John just got fingered...by Xander Harris.

Of course, being a hat, he only felt the swish of the fingers but FINGERED!

"Yeah, he said the same thing to me," Rory said obliviously. "I think it looks best on him."

Xander totally is not jealous at all that Constable Fraser said the same thing to Rory. Which is why he isn't frowning. Or flicking John's brim now.

"What if John stays a hat?" he asks, while not frowning. "You think another Mountie would automatically show up to wear him, kind of like you can't have Oreos without milk, or the Captain without Tenille?"

John feels the flicking and catches some of Xander's hair in some webbing of the hat and pulls!

Chloe gets a little caught on the idea of John remaining in hat form before she can think about the joy another Mountie would bring to the school. "Who knows? I bet our current Mountie would have to notify someone though. See if maybe there's anyone poor and hatless in the force."

"Ow, dude! You're a mean hat." Xander pulls on John until he lets go. "See if you get any Twinkies."

He frowns, except really this time, not pretending not to frown frowning. "Do magic hats eat? Would he starve if he stayed a hat and we couldn't figure out what he's supposed to eat?"

JOHN WANTS TO BE A REAL BOY AGAIN!

ON XANDER'S HEAD?

"I tried to feed him. He can't eat," Rory said, poking at John-the-hat.

John is poked. It's like being at some twisted doctor's offices and his friends are there and he's kinda naked but really not and everyone is laughing at him!

"I'd ask Professor Skeeter, but frankly, I don't think she'd give us a straight answer about whether or not we can feed him."

Xander looked concerned. "You think she'll even change him back this time? She always has before, but I guess she's never been annoyed enough to turn him into something not an animal before."

John, through his powers of hat telepathy, urges Xander to make Skeeter change him back!

"We should make her wear him," Rory said mischievously.

John can get behind this idea if it results in him having two legs, two arms and a face again!

"You think that would encourage her to change him back?" Xander asks doubtfully. "Like she'd be touched by his plight if she got up close and personal with him?" He considers it. "Well, it could work. John touched me."

"No, I just know that when he was a stickbug and I put him on her head, she changed him back right away," Rory shrugged.

Do it! Do it!

"Huh. But he's a nice hat. I wouldn't want a stickbug on my head, but Hat John feels pretty good." Xander shrugs. "Worth a try, though."

He wears John into the classroom and approaches Professor Skeeter's desk. "I don't suppose you'd be willing to change John back into not a hat now, would you?"

"Why?" Rita asked, not looking up from her paper.

"Because he's my friend, and so even though he makes a very nice hat, I like him better as a guy?" Xander replied.

"Hmm," Rita said. "But he's so much quieter."

"But he can't eat. If he stays a hat, he'll never enjoy the deliciousness of, for instance, a yummy golden Twinkie again."

"He doesn't deserve them."
