Fourth Floor Common Room - Sunday Afternoon

Emmett had spent most of the night exploring the dorms and enjoying being able to walk around without the smell of humans being too overpowering. He was thinking about going into town but decided to pace himself when it came to exploring. If he saw everything too fast then he got bored and when he got bored he tended to make houses out of cardboard and play "General Sherman is burnin' everything" in the yard with Jasper (well, Emmett played. Jasper glared). He had the feeling burning the dorms down by accident would be frowned upon. So around 5 am he staked out a place in the common room and started to watch TV.

Now there was football on! Emmett had his ass on the couch, a football in his hand and was watching the Dolphins playing the Ravens. Then the Eagles were playing the Vikings at 4:30. God, he loved Sundays. He was tossing the football quickly between his two hands but making sure it was at a human's pace just in case anyone came in.

[Open, yes. I hope Miami wins...I think I jinxed them omg]

To the alien.

Teddy shrugged. "You get used to it. As long as you don't freak out over mini things showing up for a day."

"Oh, dude, I don't freak out about anything," Emmett assured him.

"Come on Miami! Get your head out your asses!" Except when his football team loses. Then there might be trouble.

He looked at Teddy, to the TV and then back again. "Well. This is different. It's the playoffs."

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Teddy raised his hands in defeat on that one. "And we're rooting for Miami?"

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Unfortunately," Emmett said, frowning at the TV. "I don't know what the hell they are doing. Their defense is slacking."

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Feeling he should probably root for his home team, Teddy had to ask. "New York in the playoffs?"

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Giants are still in it, yeah," Emmett said. "I don't think they're going to make it to the Superbowl this year though."

Or at least he hoped not. Jasper had them to win in the Cullen family football pool.

"Oh." Teddy had no reason to be sad due to not actually paying attention to it, but still...

Home team, kinda.

"Who do you think is going to win then?"

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"I have Carolina to win but now I'm thinking I should have changed it to the Ravens," he said. A beat. "It being the football pool I'm in."

"Like those Fantasy Football leagues?" Teddy asked, taking a seat on the couch.

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Emmett nodded. "Yep. This league is made up of just my family though. Right now it's only me, my dad and my brother Jasper in it now. Losers have to pitch in to get the winner a new car."

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Teddy just stared. "That's a lot of money! That's just on fake sports?"

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, there's like seven of us, so six people pitching in for a car isn't that bad," he said. Emmett had forgotten most humans don't buy cars every year or so.

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Still," Teddy said, shrugging. "You're folks must be rich for that. I've never had a car."

New York and then an island where you can walk everywhere. No need!

"My dad's a doctor," Emmett explained. "And you kind of need a car of your own where I'm from. It's a couple miles walk to anything."

Okay, so, Emmett could run across Forks and back in about three minutes but shhhh. He still needed a car. For...drivey things.

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Drivey things were very important.

"Ohh. You lived away from big cities?"

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Most of the time, yeah," Emmett said with a nod. "My dad likes working in small hospitals. He likes knowing all of his patients personally."

For the few years they were in a spot, anyway.

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's... very nice of him," Teddy replied. "Kinda like stuff you'd see on TV about small towns years ago."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Emmett chuckled. "Yeah, that's definitely what he tries for. We don't have the house with a white picket fence and a dog though."

The Cullens didn't like dogs.

Teddy snorted. "What about a cat?"

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nope, no pets." They were too much like little snacks. "It's hard to keep pets when you're moving around all the time."

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"You could always get one here," Teddy replied. "I have one back in my room. Probably trying to kill my blanket for having a sunbeam on it move."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"People keep pets here?" Emmett asked, his eyes darkening a little. "I...I wasn't aware you could do that."

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, of course! They're very laid back here about that sort of thing," Teddy said, oblivious to eye color changes.
