2nd floor common room - Friday evening

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

Miley was bored. Bored enough that she actually opened one of her school books to study.

That was enough to convince her that she was in serious need of some TV time. So she flopped onto the couch in the common room and started flipping channels.

"Oooh! Hollywood scandals!"

[Open like a common room]

Turtle bounced into the common room and plopped on the couch next to Miley. "Hi, roomie! Anything good on?"

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Famous people caught in embarrassing situations." Miley grinned at Turtle.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Ooooooh," Turtle responded with enthusiasm. "I haven't missed anything too juicy, have I?" She looked around a little. "I should make some popcorn...."

"I'm thinking about ordering a pizza." Miley placed a hand over her stomach. "I'm starving."

"You've missed two Baldwin brothers, a Carter and one and a half Tom Cruise stories so far."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"I would definately be up for chipping in on pizza," Turtle nodded, and then considered the roster. "Hmmm. Well, you know there's going to be at least another Tom Cruise one, so that's not too bad."

"No one's even mentioned bald Britney yet, so we've got loads of time left." Miley whipped out her cell phone and dialed for pizza. "I'd like a large pie with pepperoni, ham and banana peppers."

"Turtle?" She asked, holding the phone out to her roommate.

But, of course they'd save that to the last.

"Uhhhhh...." Turtle thought for a moment. "Large, bacon an' sausage and pepperoni. And mushrooms."

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Mushrooms!" Miley took back the phone with a grin. "Can you add mushrooms to the first one too? Thanks!"

She rattled off the number of the credit card her Dad had given her before hanging up the phone. "Just consider it my treat tonight. They always deliver quicker if you pay by charge."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Awesome," Turtle grinned and politely decided to disregard and forget the fact that her mind had automatically latched onto the number to record to her memory. "Thanks. I owe you one, then."

Mmmm, pizzza.

"Oooh, Hollywood scandals," Conner said, popping his head into the common room. "Anything on Kylee Styles in there?"

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Not yet, but we seem to be stuck in a Tom Cruise loop." Miley sighed. "But pizza's on the way and we've 23 more scandals to go!"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Him again? Boring," Conner said, dropping onto the couch. "How's it going, Miley? And -- pizza?"

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"It's going. We had tiny teachers in my music class today. I think it's the first time that I've actually done well in that class." Miley grinned. "Yup, two large pizzas should be here pretty soon. If you're nice to me and Turtle, we might even share with you."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"I can be nice!" Conner exclaimed. "I can totally be nice! Watch!"

Under his breath, he added, "Unless you're Anders, but then it's just funny . . ."

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Wow." Miley blinked. "I should have asked for something more than you just being nice. I'll have to remember that the next time I have food to bribe you with."

"I don't think I've met Anders yet."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"I'm always bribable with food," Conner assured her. "Well, food or dates with cute girls."

He snickered. "Put it this way. If a guy comes in here trying to kill me? You'll know you met him."

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

"Food I can handle." Miley laughed. "Not sure about my supply of cute girls."

"What'd you do to make him want to kill you?"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Found this CD a few days ago," Conner said, snickering, "by this band called Du Jour, and they had this 'Backdoor Lover' song that I had to, like, sing at Caritas and say was about him."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Conner!" Turtle proclaimed excitedly. That was kind of all she had to say about the matter, though.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Revered sponsor Turtle!" Conner replied, waving at her. "What's up?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Not much," Turtle smiled a little. "Glad you're not dead."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"So am I." Conner tilted his head one way, then the other, then looked curiously at her. "Why would I be?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle shrugged. "I haven't seen you in, like, forever, so you never know."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I was kinda out of town all last weekend," Conner explained. "My brother Eric's a rollerblader -- oh, sorry, 'inline skater.'" He rolled his eyes as he made the airquotes.

"He had a competition up in Boston and I went to go check it out."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Turtle's head tilted. "How did he do for his 'inline skater' competition?"

She did the airquotes, too.
