Second Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

Conner bolted back upstairs after basketball practice and got ready for the World Cup final. As a result of his conversation with Nadia from Friday, he was dressed -- if one could call it that -- for the occasion in what was essentially an Italian-flag loincloth, and red, green, and white body paint.

Nobody was in the second floor common room, so he hijacked it for the cool TV and got comfortable (standing, because body paint) before the game started.

France vs. Italy. Plus, Julie Foudy at halftime. Last night might have been a fiasco, but today life was good.

"Greetings, traitor to the light," Pip said chanelling Prince Arthas.

"Well, at least you don't call it 'soccer'. So you're still redeemable."

"You . . . do remember that I am not American, right? Football is football is football. None of this 'soccer' business."

"Exactly," Pip said. "Thus your redeemabillity. Even if you root for the wrong team, you are still a football fan."

No, this wasn't exactly logic. But it was the World Cup final and his team was in it. Logic had gone bye-bye a while ago.

"Well, to be honest, I'm mostly just rooting for a good match. Since neither team is South American."

"So this whole "Italy" thing is just to get under my skin?"
