Very Early Friday Morning in the Second Floor Common Room

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory woke up on the floor of the common room, a small pink blankie tucked around her, toys in the crook of her arm and her thumb loosely sitting in her mouth.

She slowly sat up, looking around at the huge amount of drawings littering the room.

And then she remembered the night before.

“Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,” she moaned.*

She picked up her things and hurried into her room, resolving to never come out again.

*No, she did not pay Anakin. And not just because he wasn’t there.

[ooc: THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE WHO PLAYED. It was so fun. And, for those who are curious, all of WeeRory’s drawings can be found here. Many, many people have pictures - Sam, Aeryn, Anakin, Angel (with Cal), Angela, Bridge, Callynanders, Jaye, Callisto (by herself), Lockheed, Jakey, Logan, Kawalsky, Archie, Krycek, Smith, Parker and everyone in the pageant. :)

Inspiration for the whole thing goes to Major Kitty, due to the recent crackfic. :) And credit for the idea of random pictures goes to the recently-departed Faith.]

Getting back about mid-morning on Friday, Parker knocks on Rory's door. "Hey, Gilmore? I'm back."


_{[ooc: and I want my picture! heee.]}

Rory said something into her pillow. It was very muffled, but it might have sounded like, "Come in."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker opened the door, then blinked. "Oh, what now. Dare I ask? Break-up between you and the just-friend? You flunked classes? They stopped serving coffee at the Perk?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory poked her head out.

"Anakin is in Coruscant, and we're just friends and friends can't break up. And I don't flunk classes. And that third one is too hirrible to even talk about. No..." Rory grimaced. "Got bitten by a gremlin last night."

She retreated back under the covers.

"Oh, reeeeally," Parker said, a mix of sympathy and amusement on her face. "So. Who did you attack? And was it in a sexy way, or straightforwardly homicidal way?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Thought I was three," Rory said, her voice muffled by the blankets. "Asked the new principal if he would like to color. Drew pictures of many, many people. Made Aeryn Sun wear a folder hat. Jaye Tyler filmed me. And I really hurt Lockheed without meaning to."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker bit her lip at most of this-- the idea of Aeryn in a hat, especially-- then sighed when Rory hit what happened with Lockheed. "Ahhh, Rory. I know it... okay, I was going to say bites, but sucks is even more appropriate. But in a week or two, this will seem funny. Mostly." She patted the blankets. "And Lockheed will understand if you explain you were temporarily demented, you know."

"I already talked to Professor Tick," Rory muttered. "I'm just glad Ana - um, most of the school wasn't here for it."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker smirked at the reference to Just-A-Friend, then asked, "Pictures? What kind?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory's arm flailed at her desk where the drawings were. "The scribbles of a three year-old."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker couldn't help the giggles that escaped when she saw the pictures, especially "Parkur" with the "bunie" and the one of "Meeny". "Oh, my, goddess. These are far too cute."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Not cute!" Rory declared. "Humiliating! There are pictures of people there who can NEVER EVER SEE THEM."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Anjul and Meeny? Ohhh, my. And who's this other meeny?" She poked the blankets. "Rory, come *on*. They're funny. In a very psychologically revealing way, I'll admit...."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Did you see the pageant?" she mumbled.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Noooo," Parker says, paging through them. "Oh, my, my. You know, this is actually really good for a three-year-old." She pulls back the covers. "Come on. Lighten up a little. You can burn these, you know. Or suck it up and admit that it's a little funny."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Did you see the ones of Logan and Anakin?" Rory groaned.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Nice job with their hair. And accessories. At least you don't have them kissing." Parker shook her head. "Gilmore, get a grip. You weren't even turned into an animal. This is completely survivable."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I know. I asked the principal to have a tea party, though."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Whoa." Parker blinked. "Okay. Depending on what he's like, you may or may not be justified in hiding for a while."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"And I told him he was mean," Rory whispered, burying her face in the pillow again.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Right." Parker patted the back of Rory's head. "Gotcha. You just... relax, okay? Anything I can do?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'll be okay. And when I'm not wallowing, you get to tell me about your vacation," Rory said into her pillow.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"There were hot guys and windsurfing. When you're up to it, I'll tell you all about it." Parker gives her another pat, and shakes her head. "And you can tell me what you did before the gremlin bites."
