Second Floor Common Room, a little after noon

[mparkerceo]

Parker was talking as she entered the common room. "And this is the Second Floor Common Room, which is the best, of course. Anyone will tell you that. It got blown up once, but then it was fixed."

She flipped on the TV set and started looking for Smile Time or a monster movie.

And possibly other students to inflict wee tiny grown ups on.

"Could we blow it up?" Jarod looked up at Parker hopefully. Hey, she'd agreed to fishnchips and pizza...

[mparkerceo]

"Wait until you're at least sixteen, and then only kiss the nice rich ones." Hey, if someone had given her that advice....

"I like boys," Rose said, out of the blue. "But they have cooties."

[mparkerceo]

"Just remember that. And they don't go away until they're eighteen."

What? May as well keep things simple for the kid....

[rose_bad_wolf]

"But that's close to sixes right?" Rose brought up her eight fingers again, then counted "One, two, four, sixes, eighteen!"

[mparkerceo]

Parker grinned. "Close enough."

[jarodpretends]

He shook his head a lot, "No, you should make it be your idea."

[mparkerceo]

"Oh? Why?" This should be good.

[jarodpretends]

"Because no one wants to think someone had to be talked into kissing them."

[mparkerceo]

She stared at him. "Wow, you better remember you said that when you're tall." Parker shook her head, smiling a little. "And he knows I like kissing him. So, um. Yes."

[jarodpretends]

"Are you a good kisser? Why do you want to kiss people? What makes someone a good kisser?"

[mparkerceo]

"I didn't ask this many questions last year!" Parker flailed a little. "Yes! I'm a good kisser! Because it feels nice! And I don't know! Okay? Why do you ask so many questions?!"

[jarodpretends]

He scratched the back of his head, leaving a little tuft of hair sticking up in the back. "So I know the answer?"

[mparkerceo]

Parker couldn't help but grin. "Yeah. I figured. Silly question, right." Her grin widened. "I really, really hope you get to meet my boyfriend while you're like this."

[jarodpretends]

"Howcome?"

[mparkerceo]

"He's never met you, and you've never met him, and somehow? I think you'd get along real well right now." At least, way better than when they were both in their teens.
