"We don't have a love life," Cameron shrugged. "How does it suck?"

"Nothing I really want to get into. Let's just say Jack's the best consolation I've got." Parker shrugged. "And I'm kind of amused at Jaye. Or admiring? I guess. Break-up, then move on. Simple."

"It's called rebound, Parker. I don't know if Jaye's moved on," he sighed and sideways. "I know I haven't, but at least I didn't spend my weekend thinking of someone who's going nowhere with me."

He met her eyes again. "So, you've got Jack. I've got Jaye... Maybe, I don't know. Sound like the same kind of boat?"

She tilted an eyebrow. "Sort of? Except that my ex disappeared from the face of the planet-- which was a relief-- and yours is still right here. Which has to be rougher, I think." She gave a slow one-shoulder shrug. "It gets better?"

"I hope so," he said softly.

She reached out and nudged his arm. "Hey. At least Vala didn't cheat on you or stab you in the back." Parker winced, remembering Michael, then what she and Lee had done this weekend. "So, you don't have that fun part to deal with. You guys just didn't work out. I *have* to believe it only takes a while to get over that."

He tilted his head. "I don't know, sometimes it feels like it would be easier if I could be pissed off. With Beka, it was simple. She messed with me and I couldn't trust her. Vala? It's still all there, I still want it but I know I won't get to keep it."

"Were you in love with Beka?" Parker bit her lip. "I'm sorry, that's pretty rude. And maybe there is no comparison. I wasn't in love with Michael, after all. I just really, really liked him."

"We knew each other for a week, that really isn't hte word I'd use. Crush? Yeah, possibly. Love? No. I realised that when I got Crichton's memories of Aeryn," he studied Parker for a moment. "So, you liked him but he was a jerk to you and cheated? You can do better, Parkie. I'd offer to beat him up but..."

"Hunh. That much of a difference. I guess...." Parker looked thoughtful, then grimaced. "And basically that's what Michael did, yeah. It's a little more complicated, and has to do with why he got expelled. But Principal Bristow asked me not to talk to anyone about that." She shrugged, looking away. "Thanks, though. I'd like to think you're right. Jack's better, but he's not really-- well." She rolled her eyes, but kept smiling. "We both know it's nothing that's gonna last forever."

"No, but at least you're having fun while you wait for something that does last longer?" Cameron suggested and smiled at her. "Give it time."

"Yeah... yeah." Parker nodded, then smiled with a little more feeling. "Anyway. Stupid love lives. How's the rest of your life going? You were gone there for a while a few weeks ago. Still catching up?"

It took a moment before he knew what she was refering to. "Yeah, all caught up. I think I might actually have some money again after this weekend too."

"Wicked. I hope you and Jaye get some use out of the chocolate paint, since they didn't work out with Vala." She grinned. "You're not going on the England trip?"

Cameron coughed and finally straightened up. "No, I don't really have the money."

"StuCo got extra funding-- you don't have to pay the fee now, if you want to go." She grinned. "Think how much fun you could have in the Tower of London. Or in Nottingham Forest."

He smiled, but shook his head. "Sounds fun, but I should probably stick around here."

"Slacker." She grinned and poked him in the arm. "And you're not in the play, either, so you'll just have an entire lazy week off. I think I'm almost jealous."

"I thought the trip was supposed to be fun?" He poked back. "Besides, I think I saw my fling's name on the sign up list. There goes that fun."

"It is fun, it's just as a StuCo rep, I have to help plan it. Less fun. And awwww." She shook her head. "I'm sure Jaye will send you camera-phone pix from the London night clubs."

"True, sucks to be in charge, huh?" Cameron shrugged. "I doubt it."

"Except for where I get to tell people what to do, sure." Parker grinned, then shrugged. "I'm sure she'll send them to *everyone*. RadioGirl at her worst. Or best? Whichever. You'll still be friends after the fling is flung, I hope."

"Ah yeah, I'm sure it comes natural." He chuckled. "Jaye and I will be fine. Uh, I'm not sure if we're still flinging or not."

"That was fast." Parker blinked. "But fun, I guess?"

Okay, maybe he got it wrong and he should probably talk to Jaye now. He scratched his head. "Lots. Uh, how long do flings generally last?"
