Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon

[puppy_fair]

Now that Zack was officially done with classes for the summer, it was time for a little getting out and about and being social. It was also, Zack decided, the perfect time to get the gerbil that Deadpool had given him out for some exercise.

And that was why, armed with a hamster ball and a bunch of notebooks, Zack was hard at work constructing the most epic gerbil floor-maze the second floor common room had ever seen!

Poor, poor Mr. Winkles.

[Open, as common rooms tend to be!]

"S'okay, I forget t'leave mine, too," she assured him, smiling at him. "Is your room real interestin'?"

[momslilassassin]

"It has a half-finished droid," he said eagerly.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Ooooh! How big?" she asked, just as eagerly.

[momslilassassin]

"He'll be about waist high," Ben said. "Astromech, so it's ridiculously complicated. It's probably going to take me most of the year to finish."

"I wanna see 'im," Kaylee declared. "What're you gonna use him for?"

[momslilassassin]

"Flying a starship," Ben said promptly. "But I don't have one here, so there's not really a rush. How have you been?"

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Good!" she said cheerily. "Nothin' too interestin's been happenin' with me, though."

[momslilassassin]

"You can make something up," Ben said, squeezing onto a gerbil-maze free section of couch. "Tell me that you fought an evil cookie monster armed with nothing but a screwdriver."

"It was a muffin monster," she corrected sternly.

[momslilassassin]

"A blueberry muffin monster?" Ben asked. "I've heard they are the most evil."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"A banannanana muffin monster." Kaylee was solemn, even if the word had kind of gotten away from her.

[momslilassassin]

Ben nodded along. "How big was he?"

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Much bigger'n me," she replied, tsking. "Like a car."

[momslilassassin]

"I'm completely impressed," Ben said solemnly. "Just you and the screwdriver, then, or did you need the tambourine, too?"

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"I don't know what that is," she admitted, dropping the act for a moment.

[momslilassassin]

"Musical instrument," Ben explained with a tiny smile. "Like a jingley, portable drum...thing."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"....shiny! I want one," Kaylee decided.

[momslilassassin]

"I'll see what I can do," Ben promised, then grinned. "I'm not sure they come in pink, though..."
