West attic: Tuesday Evening

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana stretched out on her bed, finishing up some homework and yes, admit it now, doing some daydreaming about Justin - Professor Quayle. Maia had said she'd be up at some point with the playdough and Lana was loking forward to having some time to chat with her friend without worrying about who might be around to overhear it.

Maia had a bag full of playdough, a barber shop and the fun factory plus her silly putty eggs. She knocked on Lana's door excited to try out the made for playdough cookie cutters.

Lana got up and crossed the room to open the door for Maia. She burst into laughter when she saw all of what Maia was carrying. "My god, did you buy everything in the store? Come in, come in!"

Maia turns about three shades of red. "Well I- well I didn't know there were so many kinds and then I couldn't decide so I well I got some of everything even a barber shop. We can make playdough hair and cut it according to the box." Maia grins

Lana laughed again, "Well, bring it all in." She smiled at Maia, "I feel like a little kid again. Nice change from feeling like the weight of the world was on my shoulders!"

"Silly putty! You found some!" Lana pounced on it. "Wait, I know I have an old newspaper here somewhere."

Maia looks a bit upset at the news of the paper. "But.. well that will make it all dirty." She said slightly disappointed.

"No, you'll see. I swear it will be all right. If it gets all dirty I'll buy you new ones, okay?" Lana pulls out some newspaper from under a pile of obviously soil-stained clothing.

Maia does not look sure of but agrees. "Well they are your putty's I have mine in the bag still." Maia eyes the clothing. "See Justin today?"

Lana blushes fiercely. "Yes, actually. I, um... ended up going over to his house to help with his garden. And he made me dinner. I got back just a little bit before you came."

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia's eyebrow raised. "What did you have for dinner?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Um... he made an, I don't know... chicken and salad thing - with basil and some other spices, It was delicious, but honestly, I think he could have served sand and I would have enjoyed it." Lana looks embarrassed but almost a little defiant as if she's decided to face down that little voice in her head saying what a bad idea this was.

Maia started to open up the fun factory box and giggles "Did you kiss him?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana looks shocked. "Maia! Of course I didn't kiss him! He probably thinks I'm some lovesick crazy high school student as it is!" She's quiet for a minute then admits, "It's not that I didn't think about it though. And when I left he did hug me and for a minute I just let him hold me and I just..." She shakes her head. "God, I can't go there right now. I... I did promise to go back tomorrow after classes and hlep him finish up the garden."

Maia started rolling with laughter. "I promised to go back." Her eyebrow raised and she smirked. "I bet he'll like that." Maia was in a playful mood but watched Lana carefully to make sure she did not overstep. She read the directions and took a little ball of white playdough and rolled it up then put it in the chute for the funfactory.

"Mai-ahhh.." Lana protested weakly. "You're not helping! You should be giving me a stern talking to and telling me not to even consider any kind of funny business." Lana got very quiet. "Besides, what does it say about me that I was supposedly so in love with that Archie person - whom, granted I can't remember - and now I'm all butterflies in the stomach about someone else a few days later?"

Maia stopped smiling as she shoved the handle down to push the white through and make noodles. "Well Lana I don't think it counts because you don't remember him you know. I think people who are your friends, like me. Will understand and the people who don't like the ones who will talk about you." Maia smacks the handle down hard "Well we just really dont care about them and what they say do we?"

Maia examines her playdough noodles. "Look Lana it made noodles." Maia stared at her little length of noodles and shoved more white into the chute. "I wonder how long I can get them."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana thinks about it and then nods. "I guess you're right." She smiles at Maia. "Okay, show me how long you can make these things - only fun stuff tonight!"

Maia beamed, she dug around in the bag for a moment and pulled out for Lana.
