3rd Floor Common Room - Friday morning

With nothing to do and no roommate to talk to, Penelope wandered down the hall to the common room with her box of Ho Ho's tucked under her arm. She poured herself a glass of milk and walked over to the couch and made herself comfortable before she reached for the remote to turn the TV on. Finding nothing much of interest, she left it on the food channel, settling in to watch this man make pastry.

Penelope should really learn to cook.


[Common room is open, of course.]

"Because you only have two pairs of shoes for the whole summer!" Claudia replied. "That's not right. It's in the Constitution."

Joan stared at her. She was pretty sure she didn't remember that from her American History class.

"I have sneakers too?"

Claudia wrinkled up her nose. "If you're not exercising, you shouldn't be in sneakers," she declared. "It screams 'Hi, I'm a middle-aged Mom from Iowa.' Not cool."

"Oh. I didn't know that."

Joan wasn't exactly a fashion plate.

"I'll lend you my issues of Cosmo," Claudia said. "And Seventeen. They are very helpful."

"Okay, thanks," Joan said, smiling at the offer. Though she had no intention of dressing like Claud. Ever.

Most sane people wouldn't, no. Claudia was currently rocking a fifties throwback look, completely with poodle skirt and bobbie socks. There was no way anyone in the fifties had tied their shirt in a knot around their middle, though.

"Besides, it's almost time for Memorial Day sales," Claudia said. "You have to know what to look for."

And she looked totally cute doing it. But Joan was positive she couldn't pull it off.

"I usually just buy whatever fits."

Claudia looked horrified. "Oh, honey, no. You're not a nine year old boy."

Joan shrugged. "I'm pretty much a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl."

"As long as you find the cute jeans, that's great," Claudia said. "But you don't want the world to think you got them on sale at Target."

"Well, we'll have to go shopping or something then," Joan said.

"Yes," Claudia said. "There's cute stuff at the shop in town."
