5th Floor Common Room - Monday, late afternoon

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette was laying on the couch, on her belly, ankles crossed; a pillow shoved up under her arms. She was flipping through the television channels, not really paying attention to what was on. A minute here a minute there, nothing really snapping out at her. Her mind was too preoccupied thinking about who and what she met and talked to over the weekend. It was totally...mind consuming.

Frozen pizza was in the oven cooking. She knew she could do that. Just had to take the plastic off and stick it in the oven. She forgot to read how long it took to cook though. When she could smell it good, then she would know it was done. Hopefully. Annette wasn't too bright in the kitchen department.

Rikku laughed, seeming a lot less nervous than she had a minute ago. "Wow, I thought maybe it was just our room or something. But then there were lions and penguins so I guess something had to be up. Unless those kind of things happen around here a lot." She realized with panic that they just might.

"I was - I think I was a fairy?! I was about this big" - she holds her hands out "- and I had wings and I flew around pickpocketing people and looking for treasure." Her eyes widen a bit. "And I have no idea why."

She grinned. "Yep, I petted the lion. Took his picture. He purred for me." And wasn't that the icing on her cake for the weekend!

"I don't know if they happen alot or not. I'm new this year. But I hear the last thing happening was the troll invasion last year."

Annette laughed. "Ohh! How fun! I would have loved to seen you!"

"The lion was so cute!" Rikku bounced. "He was singing some fun song about being a king and I started singing, too. I didn't think to pet him!" She sighed. "I wish I had given the penguin a belly-rub."

"I'm sorry you didn't get to see me. I had the cutest little outfit, with ribbons and everything, and scarf wings." She cracked up. "I guess I should have been louder!"

"I'm new, too. You're Annette, right? One of the other cheerleaders?"

Annette smiled. "The lion was pretty cool, I have to admit. Never saw or even heard about the penguin."

Giggling at her enthusiasm, she said, "There was this moment when I was with boy wonder in the park that I thought I heard wee tiny giggling and a tickling at my pocket. That actually could have been you. And yes, I'm Annette, a new cheerleader. What is your name?"

[the_merriest]

"Oh! Oh! The boy with the crotch-thing on his suit!" She clapped a hand over her mouth and laughed. "I couldn't get anything of his so I pestered him and flew away."

She nodded. "Yeah, that was me! Good thing about being five inches big: nobody sees you coming. So any time people were all fussing over something weird, it was a good time to get grabbin."

"I'm Rikku, pleased to meetcha. Er, sorry about the circumstances, I mean."

"That'd be him. The nipply thing too." Annette shook her head and would not admit to having wanted that costume. No way. "I found out he stuttered, poor guy. I mean what sort of super hero stutters?" She chuckled.

She waved her hand. "I like the circumstances; I might never have met you under any other. So this was great, Rikku!"

[the_merriest]

"Oooh, maybe that's his power!" Rikku laughed. "He stutters at bad guys, and they get flustered and don't know what to do, and then he busts out the kung-fu." She waves her arms around demonstratively. "KA-POW!"

"Except ... that still doesn't explain the crotch-thing." She shuddered. "There were nipples, too!???"

She laughed. "That's the spirit! Then I'm glad I took your stuff. Although I'm more glad I didn't lose it or anything."

"No, it doesn't explain the crotch think unless...well, you know, he just wanted to appear a super hero in all areas?" Annette laughed. "Who knows - and it's just weird to think about."

She shook her head, still grinning. "I doubt we will ever see that super hero again."
