Fifth Floor Common Room, Saturday morning

As busy as she'd been recently, Jessica thought it was nice to take a Saturday morning, grab some cereal, and turn on the TV to watch some cartoons. There was just one problem with this.

"Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring," she said as she flipped through the channels. Apparently they didn't make cartoons like they did when she was a kid... well, when Peter was a kid, at least. Nothing seemed as interesting as her cereal.

And that's how Jessica ended up eating cereal while watching an infomercial for exercise equipment. No, it wasn't a good infomercial. No, it wasn't something she was interested in purchasing. But Chuck Norris was on it and it was mildly amusing to remind herself of a few years ago when he was somewhat relevant again because of internet mockery. Those were good times.

"Last night's film du jour was about frat idiots who were antagonizing a grizzly bear," Gert said. "This is still worse."

"Come on, there's an outdated internet meme trying to get us to exercise. How is that not at least slightly entertaining?" Jessica asked.

"It's a morbid reminder of all the stairs I need to take to go anywhere in this town," Gert deadpanned.

"The stairs aren't so bad once you get used to them," said the girl with the superpowers that let her travel by rooftop with ease. "That'll happen sooner than later."

"I guess if I don't, I could always see if Old Lace has an interest in pulling me around on a sled," Gert said thoughtfully. "What do you think?"

Old Lace thought no, but maybe Jessica would feel differently.

"My general feeling is that if a dinosaur wants to do something that isn't going to hurt anyone, I'm not going to object to the dinosaur doing it," Jessica said. "But I'm also probably not going to try to convince a dinosaur to do anything ever."

"What if you and the dinosaur had a telepathic link?" Just asking for a friend.

"Then the dinosaur would probably eat me for sending jokes into its head all the time," Jessica said.

"Well, you gotta pick good jokes," Gert reasoned. "Right, girl?"

Old Lace snorted. It was probably just a case of good timing.

"I'm not sure most people agree with my definition of what a good joke is," Jessica mused.

"Wanna try? You've got a dinosaur audience right here."

"Do dinosaurs heckle?" Jessica checked.

"I trained her out of it," Gert promised.

"Okay. In that case..." Jessica waited for a joke to strike her. "... Um. You know, I think I'm more of a riffer than a regular joke-teller."

"You can get back to me," Gert offered. "No pressure."

"Next time I have a good quip, I'll give a call," Jessica promised.
