Marty flops down on the and flips through the channel until he finds his favorite Sci-Fi television series: Galaxy Quest.

"Never give up! Never Surrender"

[Open to anyone]

"Hey," Kawalsky said and dropped down onto the couch. He saw Galaxy Quest on the TV. "Is this the old one or the new one?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Old one. But I think it's the one where the new security guy dies in the first twelve minutes. How you doing tonight, Kawalsky?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"The security guy always bites it. I'm pretty good. Not singing random Christmas carols tonight, which I was last night. You?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Quiet day. Just went to classes and studied. You must have been at Logan's eating that candy. Angela had some that made her light up like a Christmans tree. At least you weren't singing ABBA songs all day."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Cool. I think I'd prefer ABBA. ABBA doesn't make me sing about Parker kissing 'Santa Bristow'. She's gonna kill me if she finds me. I'm surprised I didn't get called to Bristow's office today." He was distracted by the TV. "Hey, is this the one where they need the beryllium sphere and have to go on an away mission to get it?"

From the back of the couch, a slim hand slipped around Kawalsky's throat.

"Give me one reason not to choke the life out of you right now."

Angela sits on the floor in front of the couch and plops her head in Marty's lap. "Hey. How was your day?"

She waves to Kawalsky. "Hi, Charlie."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Hey Angela."

[chasingangela]

"So what's up with you?"

She is squinting at the TV screen. "Does her jumper thing even zip all the way?" she asks.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"I'm hiding from Parker and De.. Principal Bristow." Kawalsky tilted his head. "I think they gave her a size too small, but I think it was intentional."

[chasingangela]

Angela smirks. "Two very scary people. Why are you hiding from them? I mean, Parker's okay, mostly. I'm not sure about the Dean."

"And I think you're right about her outfit."

Marty smiles and idly runs his fingers through Angela's hair.

"Pretty dull actually. Just went to classes and studied. What about you?"

[chasingangela]

"Classes. Library stuff. Nothing too exciting," Angela says. "For ethics? She didn't do that awful class Rory and Logan had, thank god. We're supposed to pick a bad habit and, like, work to alter it for the next week. I think I know what I want to do, but ... any suggestions?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Bad habit? Well I think you got off easy then. Uhhh... Bad habit? You have? C'mon... you're, like perfect," Marty says with a grin.

"What did you have in mind?"

[chasingangela]

"You totally get a kiss for that," Angela says. "But I am completely not perfect. I think everything to death, I talk about people behind their backs, I can be really mean when I get mad, and I'm rotten to my parents. Also, I don't floss all that often."

Parker wandered in, wearing her satin pajama bottoms and a T-shirt that said, "Stupidity Causes Cancer." She was being fairly quiet.... and then she saw Kawalsky.

And began to tip-toe.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty looks up and sees Parker.

"KAWALSKY! RUN FOR IT!"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky leapt up and scrambled across the room. "PARKER. Parker, just hang on and let me explain!"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Explain WHAT? I would looooove to hear this," Parker said, climbing over the couch, and grabbing a cushion as she went. "The bit about me being a substitute for 'Mommy'? Or the bit about DEAN BRISTOW!"

She dodged around a chair, and lobbed a pillow, then started to stalk Kawalsky.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker makes a dive forward, and gets a hand around Kawalsky's neck (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/301734.html?thread=11021478#t11021478).

"Blank, don't you dare spoil this!"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky moved swiftly and wrangled his way out her grip. Yay unarmed combat training. "I had some of that crazy candy from Wonkas," he said, circling around the couch to keep his distance from her. "Made me sing weird Christmas carols. Do you think I'm really stupid enough to do that on my own?"

After making sure Charlie regretted singing those lyrics, Parker settled in on the couch to watch Galaxy Quest.

Okay, so she liked Dr. Lazarus. Sue her.

Parker waves to her. She doesn't say anything. But she look at the cushion next to her, then at Zero.
