Book Haven: Tuesday 10-5 PM [3-4-08]

Lana was happy to be back at the store, happy to be back in fandom, just happy in general. Which was why it didn't particularly surprise her that she was humming. The singing, though, that she just couldn't seem to control, was a bit surprising.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
working in bookstores and learning 'bout crim'nals,
talking of ethics and conflicts and things,
these are a few of my favorite things!

Reading good books and then stealing some kisses,
lawyering up while I think of my wishes,
running to Selkie Cove all while I sing,
these are a few of my fav-or-ite things!

Billy came in looking for a book on sailing. He kind of wanted to learn how now.

"Good friends and family and teasing the teachers,
Both rain and sunshine and fun vacations.
Learning 'bout ordinary, non-warlike things,
These are a few of my favorite things."

He still wasn't sure what to make of all this. "Hi Lana, interesting Fandomness we're having today isn't it."

"I've been through this before," Lana said. "Ever the same..."

"As this kind of thing goes? This is pretty cool. I've never sung this much before, like, ever."

Lana nodded. "S'why I'm glad I'm here and don't have to talk much to anyone."

"That might help." he nodded. "I'm thinking of getting some water, just in case."

"Water?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"In case my mouth or throat dries up from all the singing."

"Ah. Well, good luck with that!"

"Thanks. Now I came in for something, what was it? Oh yeah. I'm looking for a book about boats and sailing." Uh oh, did he hear music in the background? "Here me now, oh thou bleak and unbearable world!
You can no longer geeeet to me!
For I've found folks who love me,
And ne'er will betray!
My Step-Father's a sailor you seeeeee!

So I want to learn how to
Be a sailor as well sir.
Leave all thoughts of battle behind.
Let the wild winds of fortune,
Carry me onward,
Oh wither wherever they blow.

Wither wherever they blow,
Onward with my life I go!

Lana just closed her mouth tightly and pointed in the right direction.

"Thanks." he said, and slunk off.
