It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single girl in possession of a clarinet she's supposed to be practicing faithfully whose case she hasn't opened in at least four weeks, must be in want of anything that might prove a suitable distraction from opening same. Luckily for our heroine, she was also in possession of a cd player, Sgt. Pepper's

Faced with a disturbing lack of cookies in the fourth floor common room, Wes had wandered upstairs to see if perhaps he'd fare better on the fifth floor. He did, and so he's walking down the hall, package of Oreos in hand, when he hears... singing? He stops, torn between knocking and not knocking.

The fact that Francine has reached the "Do you neeeeeeeeed anybody?" stage of the song might... or might not... help him with that decision.

"I get by with a little--URP!" Francine spun around at the sound. "That wasn't me, that was Ringo!" Just ignore the empty cola bottle she was still holding up to her mouth, 'kay?

Alice was entirely too fond of wandering the hallways now and again, for no reason in particular. A bit of air, perhaps, not feeling too cooped up in one's own space.

When she returned, she hesitated in the doorway, smiling to herself at the vocals and hoping she wouldn't interrupt.

You'd think she'd have learned after getting interrupted by Wes, but this is Francine we're talking about. She'd gone so far as to substitute a hairbrush for the Coke bottle and try to keep an eye on the door, but, well, you get distracted, you know?

Which is why she ended up breaking off mid-Will you still feed m-- to blink sheepishly towards her roommate. "What're my chances of convincing you that was a homework assignment?"

"Of course it was," Alice said blithely, with a mischevious smile. "I believe I had that class last term. Luckily, I was able to restrict my singing to hours when you were away."

Belatedly, the mun Francine remembered that there had been a karaoke class, and felt guilty for a minute, until belaterdly, she remembered that as far as she knew, Alice hadn't been in it any more than Francine was taking the one this term. "Yeah, that's one of the skills I still need to master."
