Alright, I've had an idea.
And I'll be honest, I'm not really sure how good it is, but I've decided to go with it. Because I feel it's worth a shot. And I have to do it before Carly tries it, because she hasn't figured out that Ned is more interested in Sam than he is in her

"Wonderful." How bad would it look if I just ran out of here?
He's looking at the apartment. Yes, I know it's trashed. Maybe I can get him to marvel at how crazy they both are while I try to get out of here? ... No, I'm bad at that.
Why haven't I learned how to get out of things yet? Sam used to have such a good sense of it, and still does, and I get stuck in situations like these.
And I know he wouldn't teach me anything, because he's a stingy bastard with that. It makes him happy that he can do things that I can't, because I'm the slayer, and he's the pyro who doesn't do much of anything with it unless he needs to.
The only reason why that doesn't bother me more, is because it's a little scary.
But the other things he could help me with! And he won't!
"What are you doing here?"And now would be a really good time to know what to say! Damn damn damn damn ( ... )

Still looks guilty. Like she was 'borrowing' something without permission that they wouldn't have wanted to loan her. Granted, I'm here too. To Arianna that could be equally as suspicious, but I did get Carly's permission for the book, and I did tell her that I would be dropping by to leave it off.
I'm also not as worried as Arianna seems to be. She looks like she just got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Its a giveaway. To what, I don't know, but to something.
And I know that this isn't serious. Arianna is Sam's sister. She's a little different from most girls because of what she's been through, but she's a good person. Even though she's busted, this can't be as bad as she's making it out to be. The apartment is a mess, but...
Well, I can't think of a reason for that one. Maybe she can explain it.
"I had nothing to do with this. I swear."Huh ( ... )

Okay?
Is that 'okay, I believe you', or 'okay, crazy girl, I'm just waiting for you to leave so I can run and tell my aunt you did something horrible to her and her boyfriend's apartment'?
... Oh God, I feel like Sam. Stop that, right now!
I mentally slapped myself to get it back together, and just smiled at him, hoping we could just leave it at this. I want to get out of here with the cookies I stole, please.
It might not be the best plan I've ever come up with, but I don't want to get busted now by Dan. What's he going to think if he figures out what I just stole? Nothing good!
"What were you borrowing?"
...
Damn!
"Well..." Change the subject? I think so. It might work. If I make it casual, he could forget. Do I remember how to be casual? I never do very well with that around him. It's not fair at all.
Damn it, why am I acting like Sam?!
"What're you doing here anyway?"
There! That was good. I'm proud of myself for that one. I really am. I'll eat one of these cookies if I manage to get out of here with them as a ( ... )

'Alright'?
That's it?
He's not going to tell me to put them back? Or tell me that I shouldn't be stealing cookies? Some sort of moral thing, because that's what he's known for, and that's what's expected of him, and I think he probably knows that?
Not even a small little 'this is bad and you know it' thing. Wow. This is really new for him.
"Do you want a ride home?"
... And I love it.
He might not like this as much if he knew the reason why I was doing this. I'm not even sure I like it as much anymore. But I am getting away with it. Why should I put the cookies back now? I've been caught, and Dan'll think it's weird.
He's already pretty much okayed me doing it, hasn't he? I think so. Which is great.But if I take these home with the Hoover vaccum around, he might take them before I can get them to Joe. And then the whole point of it will be ruined. So it won't be just a bad point, it'll be a dead point as well ( ... )

"Sure." I grinned. I can't pretend that I know what's going through Arianna's head, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Carly has said a few times that Arianna isn't like most girls. I'm guessing that this is one of the things she meant by that, and if she did, its not a bad thing.
Most girls do a lot of logical, self destructive things. Liz tends to stay away from most of that because she has me, Seth, and Tom, but the temptation's always there. We've gotten into it with guys who've wanted to take advantage of that before, and we might have to again someday. I think its harder to be different for girls than it is for guys.
Generally speaking, we don't care.

"Good choice."
I leaned over and grabbed Dirt Deeds Done Cheap out of the case in the dashboard and put it in. When I asked Arianna which one she would prefer, I had a feeling that it might be ACDC, and I'm glad it was. I haven't listened to this one in a while. Tom has been asking a lot of favors lately, and when he's in my car I catch hell for the classics. It shouldn't be that way, but he's like that.
The music took care of the silence for the most part. I would have said something to Arianna, but I didn't know what to talk to her about. She works at a bookstore, and that's interesting to me, but people probably ask her about that all the time. Sometimes, when you have to discuss your work repeatedly, it turns into the last thing you want to have to explain to someone you don't know very well. Its better that I just leave it alone.
"... Thanks again for this.""Anytime." I glanced over at her for a minute, and then back at the road. "I mean that. I know we don't see each other a lot, but if you ever need anything, feel ( ... )

"They are."
One of them being a lot more than 'alright' as far as I'm concerned, but Dan wouldn't have that viewpoint. ... Unless... No, nothing's changed. I think I would know somehow. I would wake up feeling like everything's gone right to hell and want to kill things for the rest of the day.
... More than I usually do.
"I don't mind talking to them, but they don't belong here, you know?"
...
Oh.
"Its not real to them. All of this... This will never been real for them. Its kind of a tease, and just..not all that fair to me."
...
Well when he puts it that way...
But they're having fun here. And they know that they're going back soon, and Joe they likes me us anyway. It's... It can't be that bad, can it?
No, I... No, it's not.
"But, I don't have any experience in time travel. That's just my opinion. ...Sorry."
That was depressing.
"Well, no, I understand what you're saying..." But I don't think it's true. It can't be as bad as he's making it out to be, because then I've we've done something wrong ( ... )
