Third floor common room [morning]

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons and eating sugary cereal from a box.

Artoo was beeping to himself and trying to see how fast he could do laps around the room.

Lazy Sunday mornings were the best.

Pippi had set Mr. Neilson up with a bunch of bananas and bowl of raisins for the day while she's off on the ski trip. But that doesn't mean he's going to stay in the room all day.

Particularly where there's interesting bleeping and blooping going on.

"Oooh, cartoons," Dawn said, plopping down near Luke, then immediately getting up again to get herself some breakfast. Strawberry pop tarts were her final choice. "What're we watching?"

Katara wanted chocolate. And hot chocolate sounded even better. Which was why she found herself in the Common Room.

"Hi Luke!" she said with a wave as she headed over to begin the process of trying to figure out which tin held the hot chocolate mix.

Luke looked up at the creature in the room. "Hello, friend," he said with a smile. He held out a handful of cereal. "Looking for a snack?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke tilted his head at the television. "You know, I have no idea. Superheroes in tights. Really Strong Guy Who Can Fly, I think."

"Hi, Katara!" he replied with a grin. "What are you looking for?"

Artoo went whizzing past, squealing.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Huh," Dawn said. It wasn't one of her favorites, but it would do. She opened the package and gestured with it towards Luke. "Pop tart?"

"Hot chocolate," Katara replied, grinning back. She opened the lid of a tin and wrinkled her nose. "Eww, not green spicy things."

She waved at Artoo. "Hi Artoo."

Mr. Neilson did a smart little bow to Luke and doffed his hat.

Food?

Beeping?

Food...

Beeping...

Food THEN beeping!

He skittered over to Luke, tipped his hat in thanks and grabbed some of the cereal.

"Eeep eep!"

Katara waved at Dawn. "We so need a revenge plan for those boys on Friday."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Eeep eep!" Artoo echoed, racing over to meet the new being.

It didn't have wheels, but it would do.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, thank you," Luke said, taking one. "Rory introduced me to these when I was in the clinic."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn facepalmed, having heard the radio. "I'll help, even though mine never made it into the quilt." Thank god for small favors.

"You seem to be better," Dawn remarked, then looked him over, knowing how this worked with fighty types. "Are you?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Let me know if you find any?" Luke asked. "I love hot chocolate." He stretched his legs out in front of him with a contented sigh. "What have you been up to? I heard the radio say you didn't have to spend yesterday in detention."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke nodded, subconsciously flexing his gloved hand. "I went home and they fixed me right up. I'm almost better than new now."

Mr. Neilson loves it when the beeping things come to him.

"Eep?"

He offers a piece of cereal from Luke's hand.

Marco stumbled into the common room, not very awake. "There's a thingy running around."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara scowled. "Stupid boys." She grinned. "Good thing there was lots of water in that room. I got some of them at least."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad, though we missed having you around," Dawn said from around a mouthful of pop tart. "So, what're you up to? This seems very tame compared to last weekend." Not that she was complaining.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Artoo extended a pincer to examine what he was being given, then rocked back and forth with delight.

He loved getting presents.

"I think there's some in here," she said, beginning to pile up a stack of cans that she'd checked for the all-important mix. "There was last week." She looked up from the random jar of chicken bouillon she'd opened. "What said I didn't have detention?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Letting my brain have a break," Luke admitted. "Last weekend broke something kind of important. Rory thought she was a hooker. And hit on me. It was...disturbing."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You did?" Dawn grinned back. "I'm sorry I missed that."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"The radio?" Luke repeated. He waved Artoo over. "Artoo, play a portion of last night's radio, please," he requested.

Artoo gave a polite little tootle. A second later, Willow's voice was projecting through the common room, talking about yesterday's events.

"Radio," Luke said with a pleased smile.
