Third Floor Common Room [Saturday Evening]

[longislandiceme]

Loaded down with takeout bags from the Mexican place, Bobby was beginning to detect a bit of a theme in regards to this island and his attempts to order food. Namely, that everyone seemed to insist on giving him way more than he'd actually ordered

Oh, look, it was a common room with Bobby in it; it wasn't that much of a surprise that Gabrielle decided to drop in.

"That smells amazing," she announced, eyes closed, nose in the air, sniffing exaggeratedly as she entered.

At least until she bumped into the back of the couch and tumbled over onto it with a terribly undignified squeak.

"Hi, Bobby," she said from the floor.

[longislandiceme]

"Hey Gabrielle," Bobby said, peering over the back of the couch at her. And trying very, very hard not to laugh. "You're welcome to have some. Or you could just hang out on the floor. Up to you."

"It's not terribly comfortable down here, and I think there's a ball of dust staring at me," Gabrielle said, half-muffled, as she pushed herself up off the floor. "So, weighing my options, I'll share the food."

[longislandiceme]

"I'm totally better company than a ball of dust," Bobby agreed.

The Mexican food smelled really awesome to Lion-o, who was still hungry after Snarf tried to feed him something green and leafy for dinner. He poked his head in the common room entrance. "Pardon me, but where did you get that from?" he asked.

[longislandiceme]

"The Mexican place," Bobby said, trying verrrry hard not to stare at this guy. And mostly succeeding!

[lordofthecats]

"It has been a very long time since I've had Mexican food. It had to be before I went home for the summer," said Lion-o, who wouldn't have noticed the staring anyway. He was too busy listening to his stomach growl.

[longislandiceme]

"So you're not a new kid, then?" he'd kind of been assuming that, since he figured he would've remembered seeing this guy around before. Lion-o wasn't exactly the type who could blend into a crowd.

Yakko ran into the common room and suddenly stopped.

"It's that time again!" After a brief pause, he continued, as if addressing someone who wasn't there. "No, it's time to learn the day's lesson! And to find out what it is, we turn to... The Wheel of Morality!" Yakko motioned towards the door, where a large wheel with 'The Wheel of Morality' written on it in huge letters drifted in.

"Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn," Yakko recited as he spun the wheel. "Tell us the lesson that we should learn." As the spinning wheel slowed down and landed on the number 1, a sheet of paper was printed from a slot on the side. Yakko went to his next line as he grabbed the sheet of paper. "Moral Number One. And the moral of today's story is... Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it and should consider a different major."

Yakko shrugged, darted out of the room, and the wheel disappeared out into the hallway a moment later.

[longislandiceme]

"I'll have you know I totally pay attention in history class!" Bobby yelled after him. "...And anyway, I'm not gonna major in it!"

"Hi!" Layla said bouncing into the kitchen. "Thank God! I'm starving."

[longislandiceme]

"Well, I wouldn't say I'm God but you can thank me anyway."

[iknowstuff]

"Thank you, Bobby!" Layla sang. "Almighty bringer of burritos and tacos galore! Hail you!"

[longislandiceme]

"You're welcome," Bobby said, standing up on the couch to do a bow. "I am nothing if not glad to be of service."

"Hi Bobby," Jennifer said, upon entry to the common room. "Mexican?"

[longislandiceme]

"No, Irish-Catholic-slash-Jewish," he replied. A beat. "Ohhh, you mean the food. Yeah."

[not_jaded_yet]

Jennifer laughed. "Cute," she said. "For anyone?"

[longislandiceme]

"Yes, I am, and yes, it is," Bobby nodded.
