Room 407, Early Monday Afternoon

[halfshell_hero]

Mikey was in the dorms. The dorms were shiny. They had indoor plumbing and hallways and actual doors and windows and all kinds of things that one didn't have in a sewer

Rikku had made several trips back to room 308 - her room! which she had missed so very much, because it had a Hermione in it and Hermione was awesome! - and after the last one hopped up the stairs to room 407, which she had missed in entirely different ways for entirely different reasons.

Oh, room 407. What a great place it was. And there were noises from inside, which meant it already had her favorite-Jude-ever in there puttering around.

A normal person would have knocked.

Rikku cracked the door open an inch and leaned against it playfully, calling through the opening. "Excuse me! Hello in there! I'm in need of some assistance, please? I was hoping to find a cute skater, as I am in desperate need of prolonged smoochies. Do you perhaps know where I might find one, that I could get him alone and do simply unspeakable things to him?"

She tried not to giggle madly. And failed.

Mikey looked from the door to the skateboard and then to the door again.

He blinked.

"Well, dudette," he said at last, "while I, like, totally fit the 'cute' and 'skater' requirements, I'm afraid that I barely know you, you know? And maybe unspeakable prolonged smoochies could wait until possibly a few more naked mutinies down the road, or something."

Rikku threw the door the rest of the way open to see the very-not-Jude Mikey.

That would be when she screamed.

[halfshell_hero]

Mikey hadn't been screamed at in a while.

He boggled for a moment, searching his brain for the proper response.

And then he screamed back.

Jude padded into his room with his backpack and Rikku's longboard slung over his back, his own skateboard under his arm. He blinked at the turtle wading through the mess.

"Dude?"

[halfshell_hero]

"Dude!" Mikey waved hello and held up his room key by way of explanation. Then he looked at the mess. "Duuuuuuuude, dude."

[dude_its_jude]

Jude bounced and grinned. "Dude!" Awesome! Then he caught what Mikey meant by the next couple of 'dude's and looked sheepish.
