The Healing Power of Crystals, Wednesday

[captainskullpoopl]

The teacher wasn't in the classroom when class started. No, he was wandering in about five minutes later, loaded down with some convention swag.

Some might have had a little blood on it. You know. From the usual convention... cage matches.

Okay, he stole all of it. Literally all of it.

"Oh yeah, I have a class today. Sorry, I don't care about it." That was blunt. "Just bein' honest here. You know, cards on the table. Though I need to set radio straight on me wanting you kids to take this less seriously. If you're good maybe we can have a party at the end of it. If you're bad... I'm gonna pelt you with crystals. Mmkay?"

He nodded like the pact was sealed.

"Okay, I've got some slightly damaged convention exclusives to sell on E-Bay. You all stay frosty."

Oh yeah, he was gonna win teacher of the year for sure now.

It didn't sound....too terrible. She'd probably definitely read worse before. Summer's head bobbed, a hand placed importantly on her chest.

"And that's where I can come in," she said. "I can maybe pick up a copy of the first book on my way to coffee shop. It probably won't take me too long if I actually try. And then maybe I can see all this kissing that's got you so intrigued."

And, as a concession, she waved a hand and added, "And the politics, too, of course."

And, you know, the other, not kissing stuff!

"Of course," Peridot said, though she was perking up a little at the idea. "We can talk about the book's contents together, perhaps. You can explain to me what you found unlikely?"

Even if the kissing stuff was, you know, probably the best part.

"Exactly!" said Summer happily, though she had to bite her lip a little because, oh man, she was probably going to enjoy this way too much and poor Peridot would just be confused and probably think she was crazy, but whatever. She knew humans were weird to Peridot, and she felt perfectly fine with either propegating that idea or stumbling into the happy accident of a better understanding.

Plus, you know. Girl talk. Kind of. Close enough, anyway.

"And you can also tell me what's different about these crystals and Gems," she suggested. "We'll both be learning something."

Peridot was going to be so confused.

Or so educated. Or, most likely, some mix of the two.

"Hey, yeah! I haven't had a chance to teach anyone here very much about Gems and Homeworld. It's been me doing all of the learning. And this book has it all wrong."

Though, she supposed, they weren't aiming to write about Gems. Just people with powers and jewels.
