The roof, Sunday night

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had been handwavily asked to do another rooftop ritual. This would be an interesting one, since it involved both sides of the breakup at the same time.

Well, at least it would hopefully be amicable.

She had the last of the Eddie's special brownies that she'd handwavily again grabbed just before Lucas had left town, she had herself psyched into a good mood for anti-emo purposes, despite having to say goodbye to Veronica, now all she needed were Bridge and Xander.

[ooc: for Bridge and Xander *sniffles*]

"Hey." Xander's head poked out of the access door, swiftly followed by the rest of him. He looked... a little uncertain.

[nadiathesaint]

"Hey," Nadia smiled back. "So you're leaving too."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander nodded. "Have to. I tried registering as a new freshman but Principal Washburn wouldn't buy it."

[nadiathesaint]

"You should have tried as a teacher."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander snickered. "Camp Counselor thing aside, I think she'd believe the other one easier."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shook her head. "You were a great teacher."

Not too long after Xander, Bridge shows up on the roof. "Hey, dudes."

[nadiathesaint]

"Hey." Now that both were there, Nadia pulled out the brownies and held them out. "Shall we?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge says, eyeing the brownies somewhat hesitantly. There's bouncing. But it's a nervous bouncing.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander eyed them, then reached hesitantly for one with the complete hypocrisy of a suburban kid in a primetime show who had in fact been drunk off his ass on any number of occasions yet still considered this to be one step over the line into the wild side of life omg.

"Do I lose cool points if I say I've never done this before?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Hm, yes, I'll lose all respect for you." Nadia rolled her eyes. "It's not evil. I promise."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge glances at Nadia, then back at the brownies, then actually reaches out and takes one. "Here we go, then."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander bites into his. "Well, they're tasty, anyway." Then he looks over at Nadia. "Um, I wasn't supposed to say something first, or chant or light candles, right?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Nope. The ritual is very simple and only became called a ritual because I had to convince Blair to do it. Eat brownies, don't be emo, possibly dance. That's it."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander raises an eyebrow. "Dance?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Is that a problem?" Nadia took a bite out of her own brownie. "Because if it is, we can skip that,"

[soldtoarmenians]

"No, not a problem. Just wondering how likely we are to fall off the roof if we're dancing up here while stoned." Xander looks worried about it. Really.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge raises a hand and waves it around in the air.

[soldtoarmenians]

"Bridge?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Wh-" Bridge blinks, then actually chews and *swallows* the bite of brownie he just took. "What *kind* of dancing?"

[nadiathesaint]

"The Schottische is traditional."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander blinks. "I...can do the robot?"

No, he can't. But no one's ever been mean enough to tell him that except Cordelia.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I can't even spell Schottische," Bridge sounds slightly mournful. "How can I dance it if I can't spell it?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I can't spell it, either. It's mostly a lot of dancing. But this is your thingy, guys. We can do whatever you want, the only rule is no emo."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I like rules," Bridge says, starting on his second brownie. "Rules're good."

[soldtoarmenians]

"Would this be the point where I don't tell him this is all illegal and stuff?" Xander says in a not-very-soft whisper, taking the last bite of his own brownie.

[nadiathesaint]

"Shhhhhh," Nadia said at a rather loud whisper.

"But, yes, dancing, rules, whatever makes you guys happy."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Dancing!" Bridge says firmly. "Dancing." He says again.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded seriously. "Very well. DANCE FOR ME!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge dances. Really, it looks more like swaying on his feet. While giggling.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia applauded, then pointed to Xander. "Now, you."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander blinks a lot. First at Bridge. Then at Nadia. Then at Bridge again.

Then he shrugs and dances. It's not the Schottische.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge? Still giggling.

"Now I think you should dance... with me!" he says.

[nadiathesaint]

"Yes! Dance with each other!"

[soldtoarmenians]

"Ever get the feeling there's somebody up there pulling your strings and telling you what to do?" Xander looks heavenward, then at Nadia, then grins.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked heavenward, too. "Space people?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge raises his hand. And possibly jumps around a little.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander pretty much just mistakes this for dancing OF THE FUTURE and does the same thing.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia? Was now a ball of giggle.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I was gonna say something!" Bridge says, laughing. "What was I gonna say? I forget, now."

[soldtoarmenians]

"You should try to remember! It was probably important. Usually is."

[nadiathesaint]

"Ooo! Was it 'I want to dance more now'? Or maybe 'give me another brownie!'"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oh! Those are both good things! But no! I was gonna say, people from space DO boss me around." He declares. "Also, give me another brownie! Please."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia did not deny Bridge another brownie.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge takes the brownie. And then attempted to grab Xander's hand and do a spinny-type dance move.

[soldtoarmenians]

"It's okay that people from space tell you what to do," Xander assures Bridge as his hand is grabbed. "They're nice people from space. If slightly scaa-aaaaaary whooooooaaaa." 'Hand' they can manage, but 'spinny' ends with them in a bit of a heap on the ground. The roof-ground, not the ground-ground because that would be bad.
