Detention, Saturday, February 25th 2006

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Fraser's standing quietly at the front of the classroom, waiting for those with detention to file in and take their seats.

The names are listed on the board.

Xander Harris
Chloe Sullivan
Blair Sandburg
Lily Evans

When everyone is seated, Fraser starts speaking. "I'm sure you all know why you've been called here today. Whether it be for misbehavior, disrespect to a teacher, not going to class or, and sorry Mr. Sandburg, being the winner of a very peculiar lottery, you have all earned detention in one way or another. It's an unfortunate circumstance and one I'm sure you do not wish to repeat. We will begin activities shortly, we will break for lunch, and there will be more activites after lunch. If everything is successful, I will dismiss you in the early evening. Any questions?"

[The OCD threads are coming up!]

[Detention is officially over!]

Xander stares at Dief. And stares. What the hell do you do to amuse a wolf? Besides pet it, and he's totally willing to do that once Quinn finishes hogging the puppy-time, but does that really qualify as 'amusing' him?

It's not that Xander didn't look up wolves, totally out of curiosity, right alongside hats, uniforms, the Canadian national anthem, the residency requirements for joining the RCMP, and just how many actors there actually are in Canada (12 -- 13 if you count Brendan Fraser, but apparently there's a bitter rivalry over who gets to claim him). It's just that the internets didn't exactly have much to say about what might amuse a tame pet deaf wolf who liked to hang around with guys in hats. Though granted they have that one in common, kind of.

He'd try shadow-puppets, but he really only knows the bunny one, and he never gets the fingerwiggle right for the ears; it always looks like it has antennae, which gives him mantis-trauma so it's best just not to go there.

Sighing, Xander shrugs and opens up his backpack. He can at least have a snack -- not that the nutritious lunch wasn't all... nutritious and all -- while he fails to think of something.

Once he's pulled it out and is about to crunch down, Xander remembers his manners, though. Politely, he offers the open bag to Dief. "Um. Cheesy chips?"

Dief totally pounces on the chip, being the junk food lover he is. And he licks Xander's fingers after eating the chip.

Xander skritches Dief's ears. And offers him another chip.

Dief takes another chip and snuggles into Xander's hand. Yes, snuggles.

Xander doesn't actually wish Jeremiah were a dog, but he's starting to see the appeal of puppy-time. He could be a dog guy, someday, maybe.

He rubs Dief's nose and surreptitiously slips him another chip.
