Sunday Morning: ZOMGWTFKID?

[the_merriest]

After successfully managing to get some kind of breakfast to - whoever Bayla was, Rikku ran down to her room to change out of her pajamas and into real clothes and possibly see if she could make all of this not be happening.

"Hermione? Hermione! You have to help me. Jude! Kid! We didn't! She's! HELP ME!"

(for ze roomie!)

Hermione puts down her letter and turns around in her desk chair. "What's wrong?"

[the_merriest]

"I! We! Kid! Bayla!" She flailed, panicking. "And we didn't! At all! And she says and she's Al Bhed and Blair said oh it's everybody today and HELP ME!"

[smartestone]

Hermione pauses. "Once more, this time with actual sentences?"

[the_merriest]

Rikku tried to breathe. And flailed a bit more. And paced.

"Okay, so, there are kids? In the common room? A lot of them? Like the weekend with the teachers? But they're not teachers? They're, like, our kids? From the future? From an alternative reality something Blair said? And there's one? And she says her name is Bayla? And she says she's mine? And she says she's J-J-Jude's? And we DIDN'T? We so, so, so, so DIDN'T? And now I have to change? And she wants waffles? And Deadpool's gonna kill him? And? And? And?"

Deep breath. "Help me."

[smartestone]

Hermione takes this in, and then has to ask the probably obvious question: "How?"

[the_merriest]

"I have no idea!" Rikku flailed more. "We didn't! I mean, not anything like that, like, not EVEN! And ... and ... what am I supposed to do!??!??!"

[smartestone]

"Well, this is Fandom. Things like this usually wear off within a day or two," she says. "Maybe you can wait it out?"

[the_merriest]

Rikku stared at her for a second. "Oh. Yeah. Yeah, that's ... the girl day was just a day, and the teachers was a weekend, and ..."

She jumped up and down a few times. "But! But she's! And we! And! And I mean I'm fifteen and we haven't and that's really, really weird!"

[smartestone]

"Yes, that's... definitely interesting," Hermione says. "Do you know if it's everyone or just you?"

[the_merriest]

Rikku swallowed hard. "There was a girl there with Blair and a couple other kids came in before I left so ... I don't know if it's everyone but it's not just us."

She flailed again. "Is this ... I mean ... does this mean that we're, you know, because that's a lot is all I'm saying, because we've only been going out a bit and okay, yeah, but ... you know!?"

[smartestone]

"Does that mean that you're what?" she asks, missing a word somewhere.

[the_merriest]

Rikku sighed, sitting down and trying to stop herself from fidgeting. "Is this ... a definite future, or a maybe one? 'Cause that's a lot to learn, just, okay, you've been seeing this guy two months and boom, here's the kid you're gonna have."

She bit her lip. "I mean, just, it's a little scary. Is that silly?"

[smartestone]

"It's not silly," Hermione tells her. "But knowing what could happen in the future can also change it. It's not a definite, but there's no guarantee this is your future."

[the_merriest]

"Yeah," she said calmly, and blushed. "I'm not sure if that makes me relieved or more scared."

[smartestone]

"You're fifteen. You shouldn't even have to think that far ahead yet," she says.

[the_merriest]

Rikku giggled. "Yeah, totally. It's crazy. I mean. Just ... it's kinda romantic, thinking, you know. Somewhere out there, some version of whatever, we, uh. Everything worked out."

She shivered. "Then I get seriously wigged out again. Ugh."
