"Ooooooooooone second." Amanda was lying on her stomach on Lily's bed (hers was covered in various bits of mechanics), scrawling furiously in her journal. "Mum just showed up - my actual mother, not the seventeen year old. Damage control is required."
She quickly scribbled in a hurried excuse, stared at it for a second before shaking her head and shutting the journal with a snap. "I swear, no one has a sense of humour these days," she announce, rolling off the bed and onto her feet. She tossed the journal negligently on her own sleeping place (which currently resembled a junk yard), and pulled her wand from where she'd shoved it through her ponytail to summon her wallet.
"Right, what are we waiting for?" Amanda tossed the question to the air, breezing past Lily standing in the doorway. "Honestly Lily, you're so slow sometimes~"
"Damage control for the talk of explosions or warping your younger mother's mind?" Lily waited for the girl to finish what she was doing, not even fazed by the current chaotic state of Amanda's bed. Six years of sharing the same room with a person could do that. However, if Amanda thought she was getting away with leaving all that junk where it was and intending to slip into the bed with Lily again, she was sadly mistaken.
Blinking, the girl waited until Amanda had reached the top of the staircase before actually following her, shrugging as she replied, "I'm sorry for holding you back, in that case."
"Anakin's the only one who actually cares about me exploding things," Amanda said easily. "Mum and Dad just want to make sure I don't get caught. I think they're starting to get sick of the owls. Which, you know, isn't actually my fault, seeing as the professors just send an owl now before they've even proved it was me. Which they never do, so then they have to send an apology for disturbing them, which only disturbs them more."
Amanda paused. "--So damage control for warping young-mum's brain, not anything else. I don't think."
It hadn't even crossed her mind to do that. The bed-slipping thing, that was. At least, not for very long. Amanda did have some standards, after all. She reached the top of the staircase and threw a grin over her shoulder as she sat on the handrail. "It's okay, I forgive you," she said easily, before sliding down.
"Anakin is just trying to look out for you," Lily automatically responded, saying the same words that had been engraved into her brain since she was five. "Not anything else yet. Aunt Jaina knows how to crack down." Which was an extreme difference between Amanda's parents and her own, since her mom was practically a pushover when it came to her kids and her dad...
Well, there was a reason plenty of people compared Lily to Ren.
Lily easily grinned back, taking the time to actually walk down the stairs compared to eager friend. "Of course you do. It's too hard to stay mad at me."
