Deep Thoughts Club [Tuesday after classes]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin walked into Professor Logan's classroom with a surly look on his face.

He reached for his quote book and scrawled the first one he found onto the board.

Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again? ~Winnie the Pooh

He stared at what he had written.

Huh.

He shrugged, reached for a Twinkie, and waited for the rest of the emo brooders deep thinkers to show up.

"Probably," Rory said seriously. "He'll be a bit small for it, too, considering the glove is probably just about baby-sized."

"You'll keep him away from the gremlins if they came back, anyway." Anakin gave her a evil smile. "Through the use of folder helmets, if necessary, I'll bet."

Re: Talk!

"I could make an itty bitty folder helmet!" Rory said as the thought struck her. "Out of like, an index card."

"I demand pictures if you do this," Anakin said.

Rory looked up at him. "Will that be possible?" she asked quietly.

"I don't see why not," Anakin answered. "I can write to Obi-Wan from here."

Re: Talk!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but you have the technology to do that. I won't exactly be able to email you," Rory pointed out.

"I'll see what I can do about that before I leave," Anakin said quietly. "Maybe I can convince your laptop to help me out."

"Ooh," Rory said thoughtfully.

She sighed. "I know we're supposed to be thinking deep thoughts, but I'd rather not be depressed. It's a good day."

She bit her lip as she remembered something. "Um. By the way, have you looked at the cast list for the play?"

Re: Talk!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"No," Anakin said. "Why?"

He had a bad feeling about what her answer was going to be.

Re: Talk!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Um. You've sort of been cast."

Rory looked very apologetic.

Re: Talk!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"I've been what?"

Re: Talk!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You're, um, in the play," Rory said quietly, wincing.

Re: Talk!

Anakin closed his eyes. "You're messing with me, right?"

Re: Talk!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Um, no. You're Snout, and Bottom's understudy," Rory said.

Re: Talk!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"I'm who and what?"

Re: Talk!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"The Wall. Um, and Xander's fill-in person."

Re: Talk!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"I'm a wall?" Anakin blinked. "I don't remember this part of your summary."

Re: Talk!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Sort of. There's a play in the play, and your character plays the wall in the little play," Rory explained.

Re: Talk!

"Uh-huh," Anakin said, still looking terribly confused. "Guess I'm really going to have to read this thing now."

He stuck his lower lip out. "And I had hoped to be able to sit in the audience for this one."

"Hey, at least your boss is someone who's nice and not scary," Rory pointed out.

Re: Talk!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin smiled. "That's true. And you'd never make me play the banthabell. Or wear tights. Or do jazz hands."

He looked very hopeful. "Right?"

Re: Talk!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I will never make you do jazz hands or play the banthabell," Rory promised.

Re: Talk!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin looked relieved.

For a moment.

"Wait a second..."

Re: Talk!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yes?" Rory asked, wide-eyed.
