Summary: Study Break, Warner Style
"This sucks!" Spica Walton throwing her pencil down onto her homework assignment. "I don't see why I have to do this if the stupid professor doesn't even grade this and fifty percent of the overall grade is from the final exam!"
Joss Whedon Warner looked up from his own notebook. "This shit is on the final exam," he pointed out.
"So I'll look it over then. I don't see why we have to do this now!" she whined.
He sat back and regarded his much younger cousin for a moment. "So what's really wrong, Spica? Don't you want to get your boyfriend back?"
"He's not my boyfriend!" she protested.
Joss just raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, he wasn't my boyfriend technically. We were still kind of working that whole thing out when..." she trailed off. She didn't need to say any more, he knew what had happened. Joss had lost more people than anyone else at the bonfire that night -- His girlfriend, his best friend, his brother just to name the top three. "But I want to get him back, but his Mom's already working on it. She's in the career even."
"How do you know?" he asked.
"His sister called to tell me. It was nice of her but I kind of feel useless."
"That's not what's really bugging you, is it?"
Spica shook her head. "I don't regret running away. But maybe I shouldn't have gone off to college so fast. When Quinn gets back, he'll still be a teenager and I'm, well, old. And it's not like you need me to get your brother back or anyone else. Your parents will get Wil, Aunt Fuzzy or Uncle Orkney will take care of Uncle Israel. I'm sure the director-person's already taken care of Liz and Lily's dad's taking care of Rose. They don't need us! They don't need me," she said in a smaller voice.
"Well, that's just stupid," Joss said after a moment.
"What?"
"Sure Quinn'll still be a teen, but I bet as soon as he's back that he'll apply for early admission and come to college. So you'll be a few years older than him. No big deal. I hear men like older women anyway."
"Where'd you hear that?"
Joss blushed and looked away. "It doesn't matter. So why don't we say screw this and go get drunk! I hear the local college bar has some killer juice."
Spica smiled. "Want me to go get the others?"
Joss shook his head. "Nah. Just us two, cuz. You can tell me about your boy and I'll tell you about my girl and we'll both get gloriously drunk. What do you say?"
"You have a girl?" she asked. "When'd this happen?"
"I'll tell you over a drink. Come on!"
