In front of the dorms, Sunday afternoon

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Mellow completely restored after his very successful trip to Toronto, Jude had spent most of Friday and Saturday, to no great surprise, sleeping.

Now, he was engaged in his other favourite pasttime. Or he would, if he could figure out what had happened to his axel after that fountain dive from the second floor of the mall over the dude in the panda suit.

He sat on the steps with his board across his lap, deep in concentration.

Blink.

Blink.

"... why?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"'Case I ever needed it?" he offered sheepishly. "Like the moustache. Disguise stuff."

[the_merriest]

Rikku considered that for a few minutes.

"Is it cute?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Jonesy liked it."

[the_merriest]

Rikku raised an eyebrow at that, giggling. "Did he, now?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude chuckled. "It was awesome. He didn't know it was me 'cause I was facing away and he called me a total hottie."

[the_merriest]

Rikku leaned up to kiss the tip of his nose. "See, now you're just trying to make me jealous."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Huh?" Jude wasn't quite following again.

[the_merriest]

Rikku laughed. "Never mind. Hey, if you try it on for me, do I get to make rude comments and slap your butt?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"If you wanna?" he offered uncertainly, not sure if she was joking or not.

[the_merriest]

"This could be fun," she grinned. "Shake it, baby, don't break it!"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude chuckled. "Man, why do I always gotta dress up like the chick?"

[the_merriest]

Rikku put her hands on her hips, giggling. "I dress up like the chick every day, you know. You don't hear me complaining."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"You can dress up like the dude if you want."

[the_merriest]

"I think I'd make a pretty hot guy," she mused. "Probably not all that convincing, though, 'cause I'm tiny."

She swiped his toque and squared her shoulders before adopting Jude's trademark slouch. "'Hey, bra. Chill out. Find your inner mellow.'"

Her impression of Jude's voice was ... getting better.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude clasped his hands under his chin, fluttered his eyelashes, and said in an actually believable falsetto, "Woooow, dude, you are tooooootally manly."

[the_merriest]

"I am," Rikku said, straightening up a little and shifting from Sort-Of-Jude-voice to Generic-Manly-Man. "I like to lift things and toss them around. Heavy things. Then I rewire all my machina and shoot tiny fluffy animals. And I spit a whole lot. Just 'cause I like to."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude pretended to swoon. "Duuuude. I'm, like, totally in love."

[the_merriest]

"Hey there, little lady." Rikku winked and gave him her a thumbs-up. "I kinda like your style. How's about you and me go somewhere a little more private? Today's your lucky day. I'm givin' out free mustache rides."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude latched into her his arm, kicking one leg up in a Clones-like foot pop. "Oooooh. Lead on, huuuunk."
