Sam came running back in, carrying a fire extinguisher. "Out of the way!" She pulled the pin, aimed, and fired at the base of the board. Between the foam and the smoke from the fire, it was pretty cloudy in the booth.

Coughing, Sam slid under the board to take a look. "Anyone got a pair of gloves or tweezers I could borrow?"

Bridge pulls off his gloves and hands them to Sam, and then quickly stuffs his hands in his pockets. "Here you go, dude."

Sam stuck a hand out for the gloves, stuck her head out for a second to look at Bridge, then pulled them on. She ducked back under and found the wires she'd fixed earlier. They were fused together.

"This isn't good."

Rory bit her lip, and tried to calm down in case Bridge took his hands out of his pockets.

"What's wrong?" she asked, her voice pitching a bit too high, though she was at least trying for serenity.

"I was fixing something earlier, and connected the wrong two wires," Sam said, sliding back out and handing Bridge's gloves back to him. She ran a hand through her hair, wiping a smudge of black something along her chin. "I completed the circuit by accident, and overloaded the system. It'll take days to get it back up and running."

"I'm sorry."

Rory slumped against the wall and sank to the floor.

"Aw, shit," she muttered into her knees, trying to think.

Bridge blinks as he takes the gloves back from Sam, catching a glimpse of her aura in the process.

Interesting, he thinks as he pulls them back on.

Oberon rapped quite loudly on the door of the tech booth, having been directed there by a student or two.

Sam threw the door open, hands on her hips, hair sticking up, and chin covered in soot. She saw bare-chested Lee in his kilt. "Not now, Lee. I really don't have time."

She looked forlornly at the dead light board, then back at him. Then at Rory. "We can't do candles...anyone got a flashlight?"

Puck, gleaning something from the girl's mind, said, "Gabba gabba hey."

"Sam, I really think you should--HUSH!"

Standing with his hands on his hips, Oberon asked with a seething fury, "What is the meaning of this chaos? And how soon shall order prevail?"

"I can go get some flashlights," Rory volunteered.

She snuck a look at Lee, and shifted to bow her head respectfully. "If my Lord will forgive us for this mishap, that is, and allow me to do so."

She tried not to look at Sam or Bridge.

Oberon smiled at being properly addressed. "Fair maiden," he replied kindly, changing his tone as she seemed to be in charge, "I thank you. How soon will the electricity return and the show continue?"

"Not for several days, Majesty," Rory continued, trying not to wince. "As a consequence, we'll be using small lights held by hand, if it please you. Unless you'd rather not, and take your leave of us? Not that we humble mortals aren't graced to have you amongst us - nay, we wish only to please you and your kin, Lord."

Rory was kinda proud of how that ended up sounding.

Bridge stares. And resists the urge to check to see if Rory and Lee are... themselves.

Sam gave Rory a strange look. "My Lord?"

"The show can continue at any time," Sam said, glancing at the slightly smoking wires, "but the electricity won't be back on tonight."

Rory shot a furtive look at Bridge and Sam and motioned with one hand to indicate she would explain in a second.

"Glad tidings indeed," Elain grinned and draped herself over Oberon. "It would be a pity indeed to have to cease our revellry too early, my Lord."

"Speak for yourself," Puck muttered. "Then why don't you just leave? And too soon deprive you of the pleasure of my company, girl? Never."

Oberon wrapped his arm around Elain, marveling at how lithe her figure was and how she towered above him. He eyed with content at the busy mortals taking care of the problem. "I thank you for your hard work and pray that you continue and speedily."

"However," he said, thinking at once of the reason why he came up here. "who was at fault for this?"

Sam was a bit hurt when Lee draped himself all over Callisto. She wasn't the person she thought he was if he could do that in front of her. Maybe Parker was right. She covered it by looking a bit guilty. "I am."

"And you are?" he asked coldly, sensing that he should recognize her.

Before she thought about it, Sam's hand flew back and she took a swing towards his face. "I'm better than you deserved, Lee Adama. I've never been so disappointed in another human being in my life."

Puck threw himself at her arm. Not into the punch, because he wasn't stupid, but, "How dare you, mortal!"

Elain laughed and nuzzled Oberon's neck. "It appears my Lord's steed is a stallion indeed, if this mortal's jealously is to be believed."
