Festivus in July, Fandom High front lawn, Friday afternoon

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Sometime during morning workshops, when no one was paying nearly enough attention except those concerned, the Fandom High schoolgrounds had filled with snow.

For the record, "those concerned" meant Rory Gilmore and several dozen snow cone distributors from the mainland. But who wants to ruin the illusion? Students who were curious might assume that it was simply a Festivus in July miracle, or some such.

In the middle of the lawn stood a bare, aluminum pole. Festivus tradition, you know.

[Yes, the schoolgrounds have snow. I'm weathermodding and saying it's cool enough today through this evening for it to stick, and it'll melt overnight. And yes, we're having Festivus in July. For those not in the know, here is a handy Wiki link! Please wait for OCD. Up, yay!]

"You're weird," Rory told him, watching. "What is that, a polygamy commune?"

"Well, I did say I was in love with you that time in the library," John says and winks. "So...sure it is! Hut of Polygamy Love!"

"Who's going to live in it?" she wondered.

"You and me, wifey," John teases.

"That's only two," she pointed out without batting an eye.

"Well, I figured the space faring people could join us," John says vaguely.

Re: Non-Festivus things

"All of them?"

Yes, she got the reference. She's just thinking that the commune looks awful big for even four people.

"I don't know if all of them would fit," John says, eyeing the hut. "Maybe just a select few?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"How do we choose?" she asked. "I mean, one for each of us - and I would naturally have my pick of all the space faring men, of course - but then how many more after that?"

"Why wouldn't I get my pick of space faring women?" He knows the answer but he just wants to hear what she might say.

"Because one of them would kill the others."

Re: Non-Festivus things

She's totally right.

"She's really a big teddy bear," John says and even he can't keep a straight face.

"Aeryn is as much a teddy bear as I am a dominatrix," Rory said, shaking her head.

"She does like to cuddle though," John says and shrugs. "And you should so tell her I said that."

Re: Non-Festivus things

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'm not going to try to cuddle with her, though," Rory said.

Re: Non-Festivus things

John's eyes? Glazing over again.

"That would be..." Hotsexyawesomebestever. "...cute."

Re: Non-Festivus things

"You know, you and...people...should form a club," Rory said, staring. "There are other people who look like that when they think about it."

Re: Non-Festivus things

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"C'mon, it would be hot!" John? Has no shame.

Re: Non-Festivus things

"Or, you know, not happening." Rory's a realist, yo.

"Could you guys just hug once?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"We have hugged a few times," she told him.

Re: Non-Festivus things

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Oh." He frowns. "Hug more?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Neither of us is very huggy," Rory replied.

Re: Non-Festivus things

"If I made a pouty face, would that help?"

Re: Non-Festivus things

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Probably not by much," she said honestly.
