Archery Workshop #1, 5/23, Danger Shop, Afternoon

[deadly_little]

As the students entered the Danger Shop, set up like a standard classroom for today, they were greeted by a diminutive, black-and-white Japanese girl in a silk robe, perched on a corner of the teacher's desk munching on a chocolate chip cookie. Next to her were a stack of handouts, a sign-in sheet, and a tray of assorted cookies from Jeff, God of Biscuits.

Written on the board behind the desk was, Sign in. Take a handout and a cookie. Direct any questions to the instructor. Behave. Or else.

Miho studied her students with a critical eye, trying to determine which of them were most likely to shoot one of their classmates by accident or try to take more than one cookie.

Dean looked over at Molly and his brother speculatively. Molly seemed like a really sweet girl... "Could work." He glanced back at Dawn. "The problem though will be getting Sam to ask."

"Why? What's wrong with Molly," Dawn asked, offended on her friend's behalf.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

"Nothing," Dean said quickly. "Sammy just doesn't seem to be able to bring himself to ask any girl out." He paused. "I don't suppose you could maybe get Molly to ask him...?"

"Why can't Sam ask girls out? Did he have a bad experience?" Dawn asked, then sighed, "No, I don't think so."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

"He doesn't actually have... any experience." An uncertain expression crossed Dean's face. "Least that he's told me. But I can try working on him some more."

"I could try talking to Molly, too," she said. "And wait, you mean Sam has never dated? How does that happen?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

"We're always moving, that doesn't give much opportunity. Combine that with the 'my family hunts demons and ghosts' thing and..." Dean shrugged. "It makes dating hard."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Hmmm. My family decided I wasn't allowed to date, which isn't quite the same thing," she grumbled. "And you did okay, right? How'd you manage?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

"Girls tend to be very grateful to be rescued from killer ghosts. Makes it easier to strike up a conversation." Somehow though honesty forced him to add, "You're pretty much the first girl I've had more than one date with though."

"Yeah, I can see that," she nodded, then blinked. "Okay, wow. That's so very wrong, I don't even know where to start."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"It is?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Not that I'm not happy you were single," Dawn blurted, "but you're nice and cute. You should have had a girlfriend for me to hate and be jealous of."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

Dean grinned widely at her words. "I could make up a pretend ex-girlfriend if it'll help," he offered.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um...not sure that's necessary," she giggled.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Good, becuase those imaginary breakups," he faked a wince, "tough to get through."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Aw, you poor baby," Dawn giggled, "I bet you're scarred for life."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah." He waggled his eyebrows. "I'll show them to you sometime."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I showed you mine. It's only fair."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean grinned. "We want to be fair after all."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Fairness is important. Like pie." She nodded, as if this made any sense.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean could go with the flow when he needed to. "Who doesn't want pie?" he said. And turning back to the topic at hand before they'd got too far away -- which was probably three flirts agao -- he said, "So you want me to get Sammy to ask Molly out?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yes," she nodded. "And I'll tell Molly."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean nodded. "Sounds like a plan to me. I'll get Sammy to ask her out, if I have to put the words in his mouth myself."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Can you do that?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean shrugged. "I have in the past. When we were young, I used to feed him lines that, combined with those puppy dog eyes of his, got us both free ice cream. Or whatever the objective was. We made quite the team."
