Saturday Evening

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She walks home to the TARDIS after cleaning up from detention. How stupid to have them waste a whole Saturday for missing homework. Just mark them down...I've never seen any reason to give any of my kids detention. Not even Anya...or either Jack. Jeez, I'm exhausted. I hope I don't get in trouble for that crap that Belthazor and Beka did. Interpretive, my Aunt Fanny. But no one got hurt, and it was cool to watch...but it's all on film. She sighs, and walks slowly, delighting in the cool evening.

She walks through town the few blocks home, wondering if she'll have to cook, or if Ten will be waiting with dinner.



Play with me!

But it shouldn't come under the definition of slavery. And I know that there is a difference, and I get that dominant and submissive can be good, but likening it to those children

*she sighs*

Neither Janet nor I are planning on continuing with the class

E...Tara's really understanding. You should talk to her first. If you want, I'll come with you. She's challenging you, and I have a feeling she expects you to challenge her back. Respectfully, but you don't have to agree.

*she shakes her head* I can't do it. I've had two lessons, and the first left me more unsettled than anything previously in this school when my faith was questioned. And now this week, I'm scared to sleep because of the nightmares.

E, this isn't good. We have to talk to her. If only to let her know why you're dropping her class. She deserves that much...an explanation.

I will talk to her... I'm not just going to drop the class and have that be it. It's just left me so unsettled, and... out of control.

I understand that, and I bet she will too. If you want...I can call her tomorrow. Let her know you want to see her Monday? And if you need, I'll be availible. I'll come with you.

*manages a small smile* Thank you for the offer, CJ. I appreciate it.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

I'm here for you, E. You are more than my student and my assistant. I'd like to think...you're my friend.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

That means a lot to me *she manages a more genuine smile* I'd like to think the same.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Well, then, that's settled. We're friends. [She smiles]

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*she actually manages a grin* Friends is good.

Yes. Listen E. I hate to counsel and run, but I've been in detentionall day, and I'd like to see my boyfriend. You should run off all your extra energy then go and climb in a hot bath and relax. Ok?

It'll all work out. I promise.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Not a problem. *smiles* Thank you for the counsel though, CJ. I thought I'd talked it all out this morning, but evidently not.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

I've found that sometimes you can't talk enough...you know?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I know.

Thank you.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, hon. Now go. Be with kids your own age.

*she looks like she wants to say something, but stops herself*

Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow
