2nd Floor Common Room, Thursday Afternoon

[fh_jackass]

Logan was in the kitchen. Cooking. Because when you were in a kitchen, working with a blender, you could call it cooking. Even if the result was more beverage-y than food-y. It was practically summer, anyway. Perfect time for a cold iced drink. With tequila.

The television was playing "Annie".

"Just off the coast of California somewhere vague that looks amazingly like New Zealand," Conner said. "And yeah, Doctor O's great."

Rory only barely managed not to say that Dr. O is a hottie.

Barely.

"Northern or Southern California?" she asked instead.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Uh," Conner said. "Northern, I guess."

And he recognized that "Dr. O is a hottie" look on Rory's face, oh yes he did. He'd seen enough girls wearing it in the science classroom.

"I'm from Connecticut. Never been to California. I suspect I'd turn bright red just being there," Rory said pensively.

"I like red. Red's a good color," Conner said as he began kicking his soccer ball around a bit.

He blinked. "But not on you. I mean, in that sunburn way."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Red's a fine color," Rory said slowly. "But I kind of like being glow-in-the-dark white for now."

"So, Connecticut, huh?" asked Conner before he could say something else that would only end in massive embarrassment. "More or less weird than this place?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Much, much less. No dragons or vampires in Connecticut," Rory said, laughing.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"No dragons or vampires in Reefside, either," Conner said, laughing. "Just aliens, robots, and cloned dinosaurs."

"...see, we didn't have those, either," Rory said slowly.

"Lucky you," Conner told her, kicking the soccer ball up and tossing it at her, just to see if she'd catch it.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

It bounced off her forehead and landed neatly in her hands. "I'm not good at catching things," Rory said, stating the obvious.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner winced. "Sorry about that. That's two nights in a row I've hit cute girls with that thing. Must be a sign I need more practice."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory blushed. "Not a problem," she said, gently tossing the ball back. "Gilmores are hard-headed anyway."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Good to know. Cally was pretty nice about it too."

Something occurred to Conner, and he looked a bit troubled. "Oh man, I wonder if she told Anders about that. He's not the type who's going to come and try to punch me out for it, is he?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"...probably," Rory said slowly.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Oh, man. So much for learning how to play that game of his."
