fandomtownies | Trooper Station: All Day

Roy had heard the laughing and after a while, he finally got up from his desk and went to see what was going on.

"Sounds like you're having fun in here," he remarked as he knocked on the door frame.

Dale shook his head vigorously as if to say "no" and then said "Um-BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Then he slammed his hand against the desk in frustration which caused him to laugh even harder.

Roy raised an eyebrow, not quite getting the mixed signals. His lips twitched as he tried not to start laughing as well. "You sure?"

Dale managed to stop for a second to gasp for air as he shook his head in a negative fashion again.

"It's... Not... FunheeHEE-HEE!-HOO!-HOO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

It sounded funny, but Roy was frowning now. He stepped further into Dale's office. "Then why are you laughing?"

"Can't- *snicker* -stop," Dale managed to get out before bursting into another bout of giggles.

Which led into gale of laughter.

In which Dale started writing on a tablet of paper on his desk finally managing to write:

Umbridge - Spell?

He circled the word spell several times while laughing so hard it sound like he was going insane.

Roy was frowning as he read the note, all amusement gone now as he didn't like people messing with his staff.

"She used magic on you to keep you laughing?" he asked, still not comfortable with the whole magic concept. "Does she treat all her staff like this?"

Dale was losing his breath he was laughing so hard, though he seemed to be nodding yes to Roy's first question.

Then he managed to write out the word "Students" and underlined it twice.

He stilled and if he hadn't looked happy earlier, he definitely did not.

"She uses magic on the students?" he asked, wanting to make sure he was getting this right.

Dale nodded again with hysterical giggling.

He wrote "Dean W" and then drew an arrow to the word "Wolf". He then wrote "Possibly Others?" before falling off the chair because he was laughing so hard.

Roy files the name away as he quickly moved around the desk to check on Dale, making that his first priority right now. He really wished Aly had been off with her feeling, but he knew he shouldn't be surprised that she wasn't.

"You alright?" he asked. "Perhaps we should get you to the clinic."

Dale is still laughing hysterically and quite frankly after having been doing this for a couple of hours, looked exhausted.

He gave Roy a pleading look and pointed at one of the troopers. He had been hanging around them enough to pick up on what their weapons can do.

"Stun," he managed to get out between some guffaws. "Please."

Oh yes, Roy was very unhappy and Umbridge was going to hear about it too. Roy nodded and reached to squeeze Dale's shoulder before he called the trooper over, giving him orders to stun Dale.

"Sir?" the trooper asked, obviously confused at the order.

"Do it," Roy barked, not in the mood to be doubted.

Aly had closed the door to her office, figuring that people would think she was at lunch and hurried down to the station after she got Roy's call. SHe pushed the door open, looking around worriedly. "Hello?"

Roy came down the stairs as she called, stopping half way. "Up here," he said, motioning for her to follow him. "Thanks for coming so fast."

She nodded and started up the stairs quickly. "Of course. You sounded worried on the phone. What's wrong?"

"That Umbridge woman has put a spell on Dale to keep him laughing," Roy said, grimacing as it sounded incredible. He led the way up the stairs to the nearest room where they had put Dale on one of the beds. "We had to stun him to stop it."

"What did it do?" she asked instantly, mind going back to her conversation with Inara but otherwise not sounding phased by the idea. "And...stun him? The headache from that's going to be better than the spell?"

Roy shot her a look. "He requested it."

"Yes, I assumed that," Aly said. "What did this spell make him do?"

Pushing open the door to the room, there was a soft giggle coming from the bed where Dale was sleeping. "Kept laughing like a maniac," Roy replied. "Apparently she's been doing this with other people too?"

Aly gave a sharp nod. "Yes. She has. Students too." She moved over to the bed, focusing her eyes to see clearly. "Yeah, it's a simple charm of a sort."

Roy's expression darkened. "I don't take kindly to people messing with my staff or children. Simple charm or otherwise."

She turned sharply. "Last I checked I wasn't excusing her. I'd also like to remind you that I told you two weeks ago there were problems, and you thought I was being oversensitive. So no, I don't take kindly either to anyone with a Gift tormenting those without, even more when it's someone in a position of power."

"I didn't say you were," Roy said, still frowning. He forced himself to look at Aly and lowered his voice, getting a handle on his anger. "You were right, I realised that a while ago."
