Saturday Morning

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She climbs out of bed and stretches some. She pulls her hair back in a ponytail and tosses on her sweats and Berkeley sweatshirt. Tying on her trainers, she leaves Ten to sleep. She puts her headphones in and steps out into the park. She leaves the TARDIS on an early morning run.

Han wasn't hung over. Worse, he wasn't asleep curled around the most beautiful boy in any galaxy. Instead, he was outside at an unreasonable hour, working out his anger with a hydrospanner and the Falcon's landing gear.

Movement from the sidewalk catches his eye. CJ. He remembered being very blunt and very ungallant with her last night. Not the best approach to take with a teacher.

He switched off the 'spanner and waved. "Morning, CJ."

[Pulling the buds out of her ears she slows and jogs in place and smiles sweetly]

Han. How are you?

He looks down a little and very carefully keeps his hands out of her line of sight as he comes out to the sidewalk.

"Better this morning. Look, I'm sorry about last night. I was mad as hell, and you got hit in the fall out."

[Shrugs her shoulders] Thanks, but I'll live. I'm a tough chick.

[Stops jogging in place so she can chat] Is today a better day, or did everything go wrong and stay that way?

Nothing's better. I just slept on it. [bounces the hyrdrospanner] And work is good for everything.

Jayne ain't worth the trouble I gave you. He ain't worth the knots I kep tying myself in.

[shrug] Grudges are heavy cargo, and I got no time for them.

You can tell yourself that. Doesn't mean you've put it behind you.

[Walks toward him] You really...care about..um, that boy. Don't you?

Bagoas. His name is Bagoas. I love him enough that I stood and threatened Jayne if he didn't take good care of him.

I don't mind him seeing Jayne. Not my place to. Not when he loves us both. But Jayne acts like a ferl with a fresh kill and treats me like a scavenger about this.

[She nods] Messy. I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression last night...it couldn't have helped anything for you.

Maybe earth women read things different, but when a woman folds in that close, she's usually interested.

I enjoyed dancing with you, until I opened my big mouth.

Or maybe I was just fogged, you know? I'd spent the evening with him in my arms, dancing close and looking forward to more, and all of a sudden he's gone and I can't just switch off.

Anyway, next time we do a school dance, I'll save one for you, all right?

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Earth women, huh? [Smirks] Yeah, not all of them...

[She begins to put her buds back in her ears]

We'll definitely have to dance again...it's always better the second time, anyhow. I'll see you around Han.

[begins to jog away]

See ya.
