While Waiting...

[x_maker]

For a backwards, butt-end of civilization example of a town, this place really isn't too bad. I can get a good enough cellular signal on the PDA to network out, so waiting for Dani to finish all her legal stuff here isn't the torture it seemed at first.

Next semester's schedule looks... wait. This is not the schedule I saw before I left. Mr. Summers? Why am I taking Phys. Ed? I didn't sign up for Phys. Ed. And why is there no teacher listed? Is this a joke?

And it appears I've been transferred up into Mr. Dayspring's history class. AND humanities? AND English composition? AND Music 201? Not a practical class to be seen! Well, except for the Flight class with Mr. al-Rashid. Looking forward to that one.

Dr. McCoy, PLEASE tell me that you've got something interesting for my independent science work.

you sound like you WANT to go to classes

what's wrong with you? I thought I was the crazy one?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I *like* science, okay? It's what I do. I'm sure the kids who can fly love going to Flight class - hell, I'm looking forward to Flight class and I can barely get around on the ground compared to most.

What's not to like?

"humanities" and your TWO HOUR rant on the unfairness of them in the car!

I was going to throw my juice on you until I realized that would mean having to buy more.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Well, I have to take the class, I might as well LEARN something out of it since they're not letting me transfer out of it.

And really, a course where I get to argue with Mr. Dayspring for an hour or so? It's like a battle of wits with the unarmed.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

you should respect your elders and teachers, Hahkota!

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Oh, I do. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Dayspring. Just not necessarily some of his viewpoints - and that's why I'm looking forward to discussion.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

but if you can't respect his viewpoints, how can you listen to them? and only if you listen, will you understand.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Talk to him and the voices in his head for a while, trust me. It's not as easy as it sounds.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

what? to talk to them?

it's not easy sleeping next to you! bruises! brute!

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

I take it he kicks. *g* Just be glad he doesn't have four-foot-long arms that weigh more than you do. I've had complaints about that.

... and no, I'm not going to ask. I'm sure he'd rather I didn't.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I am just going to drive this truck right into oncoming traffic right now. Just wanted you all to know.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

and be responsible for at least THREE deaths? not at all!

besides, we haven't seen another car in miles.

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

Forge, I have, upon occasion, woken up with teammates asleep *on* me. Believe me, nothing Danielle might have done could possibly compare to waking up with Scott's behind on your face. (Although technically, that was a matter of regaining consciousness, not actually being asleep, per se) Anyway, you'll become accustomed to engaging in some very odd sleeping arrangements in a pinch, I assure you.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

but he kicked my bruises! not intentionally though!

and you're fuzzy! that's WARM. he's not.

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

Bruises? I want to see those as soon as you get home.

And yes, very warm, which can be a drawback in summer.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

they're small. on my butt. not big at all!

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

On your... did you fall down? Because I definitely want to take a look at you if you've been having falls. Or one of the female doctors can, if you prefer, but definitely someone. Falls are to be avoided in your condition.

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

I didn't choose to fall. it was decided for me.

but Forge kicked ass.

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose, my dear, but still, medlab when you get home.

And in that case, I am proud of him. :)

Um...

What the hell, over?

Re: Um...

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

what?

Re: Um...

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

What. The. Hell? What do you mean he kicked you in bed?

WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING ...

God, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. You're pregnant! Forge is... Forge! GAH! EW! GAH!

Re: Um...

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

what does being pregnant have to do with anything? you can have sex and be pregnant, you know!

and see, the operative word you appearantly keep missing is "sleep."

Re: Um...

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know what 'sleeping with' means, and you just said the sex! GAH!

now I know why Forge was all like "Talk to Nate about putting stuff out of your mind>' Because he's getting some! GAH!

Re: Um...

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

yes, Kyle. that's right. we drove all the way to Oklahoma so he could beat up my HUSBAND and we could make mad passionate love on the charred ground where my home used to be.

people have sex. usually enjoyably. it's how babies are made. grow up.
