5th floor Common Room - Monday Monday morning.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

It's Monday morning.

Everybody is back in the dorms.

You realize...

This calls for pancakes.

Lots, and lots, of pancakes.

Maybe a few eggs and a rasher of bacon five yards long. (Okay... Maybe no that much bacon.

There's definitely coffee.

"No, she was a 'Pink Lady'. Which I don't actually get what that means. In fact when Patty, who was Molly, recruited Sandy, who was Sam, to be a cheerleader, Jan thought she might not be able to be seen with Sandy any more."

Walter looked confused and shook his head. "Right. I think I understand. You understand what Tim meant about people sticking with their own little groups?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I can't say I understand it, but I do see better what he was talking about... I mean, it's one thing to hang out mostly with a particular group of people. But looking down on, or rejecting, or actively avoiding, others simply because they're not part of that group? I don't know I'll ever understand that."

"That sounds like war," Walter observed after a moment's thought. "It sounds almost exactly like war."

Pippi slipped an arm around her friend as she flipped pancakes with the other.

Walter gave her a squeeze back and shook his head. "It's too early for this. Nothing bad happened to you on Saturday?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"The girl I though I was came on to Pip."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter blinked and raised an eyebrow. "How did that go?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"He... As he called it, 'Made a strategic retreat'."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"So you've talked to him since then? Is it going to be a problem with you two?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes I talked to him yesterday morning. He'd been talking to Ivanova and Dean, who also thought they were other people. He said it was because he thought he might have been the only one who didn't change, and that he could tell it wasn't me and didn't like that that person was using my body to come onto him."

She poured some more batter onto the skillet.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I knew I liked him for a reason."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded.

"So how are you doing?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I'm alright. Just fueling up before class and work, which I forgot until just this moment."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded and fixed him a plate.

"Later, we gotta talk about something serious." she said leaning her head on his shoulder.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter took the plate from her and went to have a seat. "I have a class and work. Do you want to meet later this evening?"

Since Pippi was the one most likely to call him on something she thought was less than intelligent, he was already trying to figure out what he'd done to merit that.

"Later tonight is good. You have a letter to write. You don't have to send it right away, but you should write it soon."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter glanced up from his eggs. "I do?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You obviously have something in mind. Why don't you share with me?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"You have no idea who you could possibly have a need to write a letter to?" Pippi asked.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I have several letters that need writing, why don't you just tell me instead of making me guess?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Nadia." she said not knowing Nadia would be back by the afternoon.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter stabbed a pancake, getting tired of the guessing game. "Yes, but you have some reason in particular in mind."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nearly facepalmed.

"Didn't you have some things you wanted to tell or talk to her about before she told you she had to go? Wouldn't you like to get those things off your chest? It's nice that you held back because you didn't think it was fair to lay it on her when she had bad news from home and then needed to leave, but how about you try being fair to yourself just once in a while?"
