Second Floor Common Room - Evening

Rory was lying on a couch, Vladdie on her stomach.

The former was channel surfing and eating candy.

The latter was rolling around on his back, batting at what appeared to be a whole lot of nothing in the air.

"She went through SC and was twenty-six and blah blah. Anyway. No, Bridgey looks nothing like me, so Becky cannot be his mom," Rory persisted, unwrapping a little Snickers bar and taking a bite.

"Huh. Weird," Peter said. "And I fully admit that Bridge is probably not Becky's son."

Peter then reached over quickly to grab some candy, dammit.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Because that would be really, really weird," Rory said, moving the bag of candy. It was possible she was being obnoxious and deliberately trying to keep Peter from having any.

"You know, if I really wanted to, I could take that bag away anytime I wanted," Peter said. "But I'm nice. Could I please have some candy?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh, did you want candy?" Rory asked innocently. "I didn't know."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"If you give me candy I won't ask why you're so concerned about Bridge's mother not being your evil twin," Peter said.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's simple. It would be weird looking like my friend's mom," Rory said, turning a bit pink.

She handed over the bag of candy though.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Sure. That's it. And thank you," Peter said, grabbing a few candy bars before handing the bag back.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yes, seriously, that's it," Rory said, eyeing him suspiciously.

Peter just ate a KitKat quietly.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Seriously. It would freak me out. That's all."

Rory pouted.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Have a candy bar, Rory," Peter suggested.

He was feeling a little guilty at the pout, though. "Sorry about teasing you. It's just fun sometimes. You completely have permission to tease me about something whenever you want, okay?"

That was probably a mistake.

Rory had a Reese's Cup, just to be contrary.

"I just don't see how there's anything to tease about, gah," she said. "And I will soooo take you up on that. I probably would, anyway, but permission makes it a nice, clean transaction."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Why do I get the impression that I may have just made a terrible mistake?" Peter asked being meta liek whoa.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Because you have," Rory said simply.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"At least I have that advance warning of danger coming my way," Peter said meta-ly in a different way.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Well, sort of. You don't know when I will strike. And with what," Rory pointed out. "I'm like a ninja that way."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"I've fought ninjas. Ninjas don't scare me," Peter said truthfully. Ninjas kind of terrified them. They kick hard.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"But they are stealthy," Rory said reasonably. "Like me."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Flailiest ninja ever," Peter said, smiling.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I am not flaily," Rory said. "I am graceful."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Peter said, focusing on the wrapper to the Hershey's bar he was opening.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I am!" Rory said indignantly. While flailing a bit.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"No, seriously, you're very graceful," Peter lied in his most honest voice. "Just teasing again. Please don't pout."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Was I pouting? Because it wasn't intentional," Rory replied.
