Fandom High School

Lily was still a little weirded out even on Tuesday, but she was putting on a good show as she waited for her class in the computer lab. Because she'd totally sent out that E-mail telling them to go there, yes.

"Okay, so," she said, getting right to it. "You owe money, you've had your puppies, now what? Well, the most obvious step to being able to pay off your debts is to find a job. I know, I know, it might be scary and no one wants to deal with this sort of thing over their summer, but it's only one class period so you can just suck it up." ...Yep, still in a mood. "If you look at your computers, I've brought up a little website for you guys. All I want you to do is browse. Go ahead and just do a little search for some job you might be interested in, just to see what's out there. Please don't apply unless of course you have your video resume for Barney's class done in which case, good luck to you. You're not supposed to get actual responsibilities on break."

Wow, she was curious what some of these kids might find as a job prospect.

As far as Lily was concerned, it was just another week. And really, given the initial reaction to Evelyn the cockamouse, this was how everyone should prefer her: nice and in the dark.

"So the last couple weeks we've been racking up debt," she said. "This week we're going to start on how to solve it. And the first step, when you've finally begun to realize how far you are in the hole, is to start coming up with ways to pay it off. Yes, after you've told the bill collectors to go away. That's how it works.

"What I want you to do today is come up with a list of ways to raise money. Are there jobs you could take? Can you sell anything? Be as specific as you want, since that's really the fun part, and then after you're done we'll read them aloud, so as specific as you are, remember you have to share with the class."

[YES IT'S LAME. IT'S BEEN A MORNING.]

Having handwavily instructed everyone to meet in the computer lab, Lily waited for everyone to take a seat at a computer before beginning. "Welcome back, everyone. Today I'm going to introduce you to something both horrible and wonderful, both at the same time. Ladies and... Yakko, meet: the credit card."
