Student Council [lunch]

"Prom's on Saturday," Josh said, smiling. "Do we need to start giving the junior class planners oxygen yet?"

He linked his hands behind his head. "Professors Tick, Harrington, and Camulus have agreed to help me chaperone." He pointed at Alanna, Parker, and Elizabeth. "Want to give us an update on what we should be expecting? Or any help you need?"

He spun in his chair. "Anything else we need to discuss? The coffee for finals thing seems to be taken care of. And another game night's in the works, right?"

"Love you too, Professor Lyman." Parker stuck out her tongue at him. "We have backdrops ready to be painted, holograms ready to be projected, ice sculpture on order, balloons that need to be blown up-- in other words, we have the decorations as ready as they're going to be, unless someone ignites the volcano for real."

"...unless someone ignites the volcano for real." says Parker.

Pippi looks thoughtful.

Parker noticed Pippi's look, and buried her face in her hands. "When am I going to learn?"

Pippi grinned at Parker, mission accomplished.

"When will you start decorating? I have to meet people at *handwavy time* to get our nails done, but I could help out before and/or after that."

"Very early. I've been informed or I will be, *handwavey* that free labor has been arranged, so it'll start around 8am or so, and then knock off at 2pm so people have time to go get ready for Prom." Parker smiled. "Thanks for all your help on this, by the way. It really is more than a three-person job."

"Alrighty, I'll see about being there promptly at 8!"

In the middle of StuCo, Parker gets a phone call. She turns white and looks panicky, then takes it out to the hall. "What do you mean they're on strike? They can't go on strike! Tomorrow is Prom! No, you listen, I will sue-- no, I won't sue, just please, please, please--" More explanations, and then Parker finally gives in, looking despairing. "Okay. Okay. I get it. I'm still suing your ass. I'm just not killing you." She hung up, muttering under her breath, pacing in the hallway, then stopped.

And called Lorelai. (http://msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com/1495.html?thread=107991#t107991) "Hi, Ms. Gilmore-Danes? This is Parker. Can I ask you a favor?"

Pippi watched Parker leave the room and wondered what was wrong.

Parker came back in looking relaxed, guilty, and a little sneaky. "Like I said. Everything's okay."

"Thankfully, yes." Parker mentally apologized to whoever had detention, but figured with Rory's mom running it, they wouldn't have suffered much anyway. "We're good to go tomorrow."
