Fifth Floor Common Room, Friday evening

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow was bored. So she took her hedgehog Philbert over to the common room to watch TV.

To her delight, Stage Right was on.

Of course it wasn't on a premium channel, so a lot of the swear words were dubbed. But still!

"You'll like this," she told Philbert. "There's dancing!"

"My petticoat." Evie winced at the memory. "Of all the things I am grateful for about this century, skirts which end above the ankles are definitely on the list. Much less damage that way."

"I get that," Willow said. "Charming as the whole 1940s aspect of Peter's life is, I kinda prefer the courtly clothes to having to wear anything that comes close to being a girdle."

"I couldn't agree more. Corsets," Evie said in a dire voice. "Thank heaven Mother thinks I'm not old enough to need one yet. I'm counting on them being out of fashion by the time I would be wearing one." She shuddered. "And oh, court clothes! You get to wear them? How lovely... although I would probably have to simply stand there to avoid disaster again."

"I'm not saying I haven't," Willow said. "There's a huge pressure not to be a spaz, especially when your boyfriend really needs to be surrounded by sophisticated people. Which I so am not."

Evie shook her head in sympathy. "Peter's quite nice though, so, and not at all formal when he's here. It isn't required *very* often when you visit, is it?"

"I've only been the once," Willow admitted. "Granted more time passed there than here, and it's not like we could be open about the relationship. But still. I wanted to impress people."

"Well of course!" Evie nodded emphatically. "But um, whom did they think you were, or what your relationship with Peter was? Simply a good friend from school?"

"I was an Oomian!" Willow said, proudly. "So I got to tell folks all about my people. Beyond that I was a friend of his sister's. Which was also true, though that version of Susan hadn't met me yet."

"Time travel?" Evie asked, having worked through some of these issues before. "And ohhhh. Well, what are the Oomians like, then?" she giggled.

"We're a very nice people," Willow said. "Who are supportive of Hannukkah because I really feel like Narnia could use a little broadening of the horizons of its winter holiday fare."

"Oh, that's very jolly," Evie said approvingly. "Eight days of presents! You're doing them a service, introducing them to the concept. And it's a great responsibility, isn't it?"
