2nd Floor Common Room, Friday Evening

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Having cleared a space in the middle of the room, Bridge sits crosslegged, eyes closed. The TV is on to provide background noise.

A small coloured sphere sits in his lap. Every so often Bridge opens his eyes to glare at it.

(ooc: open for anyone.)

"Well, that's true," Anakin said, allowing himself to be cheered up. He ran a hand through his hair again and gave her a small, hopeful smile. "See you Sunday, then."

"See you then!" Rory said, still in the completely happy voice. As an afterthought, she added, "Sleep well, Anakin-Bananakin."

"Anakin...wha?" He turned and looked at Rory with his eyes very wide. Maybe she was bit by a gremlin.

He looked hopefully around the room. Didn't look like it. Anakin-Banakin? Seriously?

"Um," he said eloquently. "Let's just stick with Anakin, okay?"

Rory grinned. "I was testing it out. You don't like it? It's so cute!"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin tried really hard not to make a face like he had just bitten into an unripe piece of fruit.

It was mostly successful. "I appreciate the thought, really," he began. "But yeah, um, not really loving the nickname."

Rory laughed. "I was just trying to cheer you up," she confessed. "But I'll let that one die. Doesn't mean I can't think of more."

Anakin gave her a big smile. "The effort was great. The name slightly less so. Feel free to come up with something else."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Will do, Anakitten," Rory solemnly. The corners of her mouth twitched dangerously.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin's mouth gaped open. "I'm going to pretend I was already out the door and didn't hear that," he said he said. "Because no one would ever, ever call me that and not expect dire, dire retribution for it. Tickle treaty be damned."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh, Anakitty-cat," Rory said, not at all tauntingly.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Oh no," Anakin said, spinning on his heel.

He probably shouldn't use the Force to get across the room faster to tickle a friend.

Oh well.

"You are in so much trouble," he said with a grin, hands reaching for her rib cage.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"But why," Rory giggled, wiggling away "um...Anagodadavidakin?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Okay, now you're just making up words," Anakin said, trying to box her in on the couch.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It's a song," Rory laughed, trying to look very innocent and helpless. "Really, Ana-Care Bear."

Anakin rolled his eyes. "Don't make me break out with your full name, Lorelai Gilmore III," he said. He looked not even a little ashamed. "Ooops."

He reached down and gave her a last tickle, just because he loved to see her smile.

Rory giggled and squirmed. "You're mean. I'm beginning to regret telling you that," she said. "And again, glad you don't know the middle name."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"She who started dishing it out should be able to take it," Anakin said with a grin.

He stopped tickling her. "You mean there's more to your name, Lorelai Gilmore III?" He got a wicked gleam in his eyes. "I'll find out what it is. Somehow."
