In the Hallway...

Leaving Cam napping on the couch (He was so cute when he did that!), Vala grabbed what was left of the Huge Bag O' Cookies, and the remains of the chocolate cake that Cam had offered and headed off to Aeryn's room.

On her way to room 226, the polite thing to do is to make sure that Vala is both there and has her memorey. She pulls out her phone and dials the number that Veronica handwavily gave her.

*ring*

"Oh, what now? Who's calling this time of night?"

Vala has her hands full, and curses aloud at the phone in her pocket, deciding to let it go to voicemail, since she has little other choice.

Leaving a terse message (http://www.livejournal.com/users/aka_vala/9346.html?thread=306050#t306050), she continues walking up the hall. Her steps grow faster. The clicking of heels echoes throughout the dorms.

Vala trips on someone's stray shoe and drops the bag of cookies. Cursing, she sighs and decided to pull out the phone to see who called her.

Rounding the corner, she sees Vala. Dark hair, blonde steaks. Yep, that's her.

"Vala Mal Doran. I need to talk to you." CJ sounds none too pleased.

"Professor Cregg!" she frowned. "Veronica said something about you looking for me."

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Damn right. I've been trying to find you since yesterday." As she gets closer she slows and crunches a cookie under her shoe. "Vala, you are the only lead I have. Yesterday I was going to be all suave and gentle getting you to open up. But tonight, I don't have time. So I'll just ask. What happened to Jack? I know you know, so don't even try to jerk me around Vala. My boy looks right through me...and it's killing me."

Vala just stares at the raging teacher for a second. "Look, I didn't do anything to Jack but give him some clue what date it was, where his classes were, and a place to sleep for the night that wasn't the gremlin-infested common rooms!" Vala's working up a bit of steam herself at CJ's random attack.

"And this weekend, with your grand plan to ignore the time agent who wanted you to...do something?" Her lips twitch and she bites her bottom lip, trying to stay in control. "He called us, Vala. Ten and I both, asking us to play along. I dont' think you realize how serious this is. We could be next. You. Me. Ten. ANyone Jack told. Vala...please."

[identity profile] aka-vala.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Please what?" Vala snaps. "If he told you about that then he's the one who put you in danger, not me." She glares at Professor Cregg. "And that's all I know! We had a plan. Apparently it didn't work because I stumbled upon him in the two days later and he didn't know what day it was. I took him in and filled him in, and that's it!"

She sighed. "Look, he knows he's hurt you by not knowing about the adoption and everything, but he can't help that. I'm just trying to help him find his feet again."

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Then really help him, Vala. Ten can reverse it if he had an accurate idea of what did it. He needs to know. I need to know." She stops, watching Vala, her posture, her facial expressions. Everything in her voice...she's lying. Or hiding. Whatever...

"Vala, please help me. Don't you want him back? Or are you happy with having him only know you. Do you want to be his whole world for the next few weeks until he finds these feet? You're going to, what, make it ok when he hears about what he's done? What he could have been now if someone hadn't stolen it from him?"

[[lj, please quit eating half my comment]]

"Of course I want him back!" Vala is furiousnow. "Don't you think if I had any idea how to fix this I would? How dare you suggest I would do something like that to anyone, let alone Jack!"

"I've been trying to help him because he's a friend. I took him in when he didn't have anywhere else to go," She hisses pointedly. "What do you think you're doing for him right now?"


[[ugh, had to toally re-word for that! :p]]

[identity profile] prof-cregg.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
She blinks, and a tear slides down her cheek.

Wiping it away, she stiffens. "You don't have to fix it, Vala. But you know something. Something that can help. And you're keeping it to yourself. Time is running out. Ten needs to know. He says he can reverse it, and I believe him. But we only have..." she looks at her watch, "like *mumble, mumble* hours left. You're the only one who can help, Vala. You're the only chance we have to get Chip back."

She turns to walk away.

"The TARDIS is in the park."

Vala watches the Professor leave, still stunned by the sudden attack, mood swings, and bizarre accusations.

Doing her best to shake it off, she picks up the bag of cookies, puts on a cheery face, and continues towards Aeryn's room.

Jack exits the common room, having totally been denied snogging and shagging Angel (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/319086.html?thread=11591022#t11591022) and runs into Vala in the hallway. "Hey," he says. "How's it going? I think I ran into your roommate in there (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/319086.html?thread=11556974#t11556974). Not with my tongue," he adds.

[identity profile] aka-vala.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
"You ran into Cam?" Vala had just left him asleep on the couch a few minutes ago! "And I know it wasn't with your tongue, because it still seems to be attached and all."

[identity profile] anextimeagent.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
"No, no. The blonde. Kara. She said you hadn't been home for awhile, and I could take your bed, if it was okay with you. So, is it?"

[identity profile] aka-vala.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh! Right! #215. I've been living with Cam so long I forgot all about that." She looked thoughtful for a moment at that.

"But hey, yeah, if Kara doesn't mind you can have it. I'm certainly not using it anymore. Just," she shrugs and digs the key off her ring to hand it to him, "you know, if there's any of my stuff still over there, come dump it in #226, o.k.?"

[identity profile] anextimeagent.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Thanks again," Jack says, taking the key. "You're a serious lifesaver, Vala. I really, really, really appreciate it." Jack sighs. "And now, since I doubt your boyfriend is going to go for a threesome, I think I'll head to bed, and dream the frustrated dreams of... the frustrated."

[identity profile] aka-vala.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Vala laughs. "No, I think Cam would turn purple even hearing you say that. But hey, I'm glad I can help. If there's anything else I can do, let me know, o.k.?" She smiles. Sleep well. See you in Criminal Justice tomorrow! It's the final, but Professor The Tick is cool. I'm sure he'll understand."
