1st floor lobby

Jennifers in on the movie channel. Red Jennifer, blue Jennifer, yellow Jennifer, and Vanessa. These girls would fit right in here. Especially with that kid who is clearly Jack's mental illness.

CJ's curled up on the couch with a diet coke and a bag of cheese puffs staring at the tv. Whether she could be convinced to part with the remote depends entirely on how charming you are.

Sam walked through the lobby on her way upstairs after Tactics of War. "Evening, Professor Cregg."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Miss Carter," she said with a smile, "How are you this evening?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Very well, thank you, now that I've recovered from detention." She frowned in thought. "Professor Cregg, how do you feel about revenge and practical jokes?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"As long as they aren't directed at me, I whole-heartedly support them, why?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I've got an idea for revenge, but I need help." She sat down and decided to risk another detention. "You knew Professor Lyman before he came here, right? I need something to use against him. Something that was public knowledge."

"Like his secret plan to fight inflation?" she asked, her grin curving into the picture of wickedness.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam grinned back. "I'm sorry, his secret what?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Josh has a secret plan to fight inflation. None of us really knew what it was, but it was good enough to pick on him for years. He also likes to talk to me about staying on message? But that didn't stop him from making an ass out of himself on Capitol Beat. Can you believe he told Mary Marsh on national television that the God she prayed to was too busy being indicted for tax fraud? The boy..." she trailed off, shaking her head.

Sam was practically hysterical, she was laughing so hard. "I'm sorry, somehow that's gotten left out of his lectures. Would you happen to have videotape footage of that? Please?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She fought to keep a straight face, "Now, why would I keep the September 17th edition of Capitol Beat where Josh made an ass out of himself?" she paused for a beat, "It's in my office."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Still giggling, Sam asked, "Would you mind if I borrowed it and slipped a copy to the radio staff?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She narrowed her eyes and grinned, actually taking the time to consider it. "As long as it's just a little harmless prank, sure. No ruthless humiliation...I reserve the right to keep that for myself. I have office hours tomorrow. Drop by and bring a backpack. I'll load you up."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"No ruthless humiliation, I promise," Sam said, raising her right hand to swear in proper Girl Scout fashion. "And it'll just be one brief blurb on the radio."

She stood and gathered her textbooks. "Thanks, Professor Cregg. And, er, I'm sorry about The Doctor leaving. We had our first class with a sub today, and it was certainly...different."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Her smile faded a little, more in her eyes than her lips. "Thank you Sam. I'm sorry you kids got left in the lurch. He...he did say you were incredibly bright and he sees that you'll do great things."

She looked down for a minute, wondering if maybe Kurt had been more right than she cared to admit about being hurt by Ten. When she looked back up, the smile was gone entirely.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," she smiled slightly, "and I'm sorry for bringing that up. I didn't mean to..."

She shrugged, lamely. "I'm sorry. And I'll see you tomorrow. Thank you again."

Kurt wandered in, a huge smile on his face as soon as he saw CJ.

"Hi, you." He said as he walked over.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Hi," she said softly, her entire demeanor changing. "How are you?"

[bamf-away.livejournal.com]

Better now, Kurt thought to himself.
"Better now," Kurt replied as he sat on the couch. "What are you watching?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She moved a little closer and leaned into him. "Jennifers, a movie about bitchy teen girls and revenge against them. It's a dark comedy."

[bamf-away.livejournal.com]

Kurt raised his eyebrows. "Sounds like the perfect movie to watch on a high school campus, ja?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Pretty much, yeah. I've seen it before, and it's almost over." tipping her chin up, she smiled, "Do you have plans tonight?"

[bamf-away.livejournal.com]

"Me?" Kurt shook his head. "Most likely the usual. Curl up with a book."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

As the credits began to roll, she stood and offered her hand. "Come with me?"

[bamf-away.livejournal.com]

Kurt smiled and bowed his head.

"At your service, milady."

She lead the way to 128 (http://prof-cregg.livejournal.com/49634.html).
