Cafe Fina, Tuesday [4/21]

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

With one final behind him, Lion-o was sitting at a table, trying to study for his next one. There was just one problem: he had no idea how to prepare for his Heroing 101 final. So he was going over his notes from the past semester, with Snarf giving him a mini-lecture on paying more attention while the pepper shaker kept bringing him cookies and milk.

Today's Special
Triple Chocolate Cookies

Momoko found Lion-o at his table and grinned at him. "Hi Lion-o! I'm one final down, two to go! How about you?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"One down and just one more to go, but I'm not sure what Captain Hammer will give us," said Lion-o. "Guess I'll have to be ready for just about anything."

[heromaniac]

Momoko nodded. "I know! I was thinking about that one after my Food Appreciation class ended! I mean, some of the stuff we learned in Heroing was kind of weird! Is that what you're studying for?" She nodded at one of the other chairs at the table. "Can I sit, too?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do now. I'm looking over my notes and pretty much reviewing every topic that he's brought up," said Lion-o. "Pull up a chair. Did you want to try out one of these cookies? They have three types of chocolate!"

[heromaniac]

"I saw the specials sign! I was going to order some, but if you're offering, thank you! What are the three kinds of chocolate?" She sat down and picked a cookie off the plate, waving at the pepper shaker for her own glass of milk, please! "My notes are back in my room. I didn't think to bring them with me. Now I feel bad!"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"White chocolate and dark chocolate chips and... something else?" said Lion-o, trying to remember.

"Cocoa powder, snarf snarf," Snarf reminding him as he set a glass of milk and a plate of cookies down in front of Momoko.

"Too bad you don't have your notes. They might be a bit more complete than mine," said Lion-o. "Do you remember anything from the times that She-ra taught the class? I just have a blank piece of paper."

[heromaniac]

"Thank you, Mr Snarf!" Momoko smiled at him and grabbed a cookie. "Which time? She taught twice, didn't she?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, she did, but I really don't remember what she talked about either time," said Lion-o. "On the other hand, I have notes from when Captain Hammer covered sidekicks, costumes, vehicles, the obstacle course... Yes, Snarf, I usually do pay attention," he added, glaring at Snarf.

[heromaniac]

Momoko rolled her eyes at Lion-o, and finished her cookie. "Once was about weapons, because she had a sword and I got into a discussion with Sokka about my yo-yo, and one was..." She frowned. "The other one was what to do once you've defeated an enemy."

Wow. She'd forgotten that.

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Wish I'd paid more attention to the weapons one," said Lion-o with a sigh. "Oh! But now I remember the second one. I wondered what I would do with the Mutants of Plundarr if I finally managed to capture them. I imagine they'd have to be locked up somewhere to keep them from terrorizing other planets."

[heromaniac]

"I can't say I paid as much attention during weapons class as I should have either. But not for the same reasons. That was the day that the harpies attacked." She pointed out, still not sure why they'd even had class that day. "The other one. I'd forgotten we'd talked about that in class." She wished she'd remembered it last week.

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"See, Snarf! I had a perfectly good reason for not remembering that class," said Lion-o. "Anyway, if we didn't do that obstacle course last week, I'I'd expect something like that as a final."

[heromaniac]

Momoko stared, not really wanting to contradict him, but, yeah. Totally not the harpies' fault.

She wiped her mouth and nodded. "Yeah, the obstacle course seemed like it would have been a good final. It kind of makes me afraid of what he has planned for us tomorrow now. Do you think it will be a written test, maybe?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"I'm not entirely sure Captain Hammer has the attention span to actually write a test, but he could surprise us," said Lion.

[heromaniac]

Momoko laughed and shook her head. "No, you're right! Maybe it will be another lecture instead? Could we be that lucky?" Momoko didn't like tests.

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"No, I think he'd go for some sort of test. He seems like that type," said Lion-o. "Maybe sitting and studying is the wrong idea, in case he throws some sort of activity at us."

[heromaniac]

"But it has to involve the things we learned over the semester, or it's not a fair final. So studying is a good idea! Besides, we can't really prepare for anything physical."

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

Lion-o couldn't help smirking. "Do you think Captain Hammer even remembers everything he covered this semester?" he asked.

[heromaniac]

"Probably not a single thing, except for the stories about himself!" Momoko laughed again. "I'm actually hoping the final is something easy, like maybe we have to be interviewed by a room full of fans and reporters while not telling our secret identity or something."

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Well, what if you don't have a secret identity?" said Lion-o. "I mean, I've never really had to hide who I am."

[heromaniac]

Momoko considered this for a moment. "Well, you could be hiding who your father is? I mean, if you were being a superhero it would be dangerous! And people don't like their princes doing stuff that can get them hurt."

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"I think most of my people expect their prince to do a lot of heroic stuff. Except Snarf, of course. He's happiest when I stay safely in my dorm room."

[heromaniac]

Momoko grinned and stuck her tongue out at Lion-o. "Well, if you're going to ruin all of my good ideas, what do you think the final is going to be like?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"I think Captain Hammer just might sit us down and make us write an essay on how awesome he is," said Lion-o with a grin.

[heromaniac]

Momoko laughed, trying not to spill the milk she'd been about to drink. "Oh, I can totally see him doing that! And then we'd have to read them aloud to him in a booming heroic voice!" She finally managed.

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"It'll be interesting to see. And then after that, I'm done with exams for this semester," said Lion-o.

[heromaniac]

"I'm definitely going to go over my notes when I get back to the dorm, though. Just in case. It definitely can't hurt!" Momoko reached for another cookie with a sigh. "After Heroing, I have one more! He's another weird teacher and I can't even begin to imagine what we're going to do for that class."

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"What class is that?" asked Lion-o.

[heromaniac]

"Phys. Ed." Momoko replied. "It should be fairly easy, since it's just gym. But we've done weird stuff, like sheep shearing and golfing into the ocean and bowling, too, so I don't know what to prepare for."

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"I'd bet on some kind of obstacle course. You know, one frame of bowling, followed by a hole of golf, and finish up with shearing a sheep," suggested Lion-o.

[heromaniac]

Momoko chewed on a cookie and thought for a moment. "Not mean enough. He seems to like us to really work at whatever we do." She shrugged and grinned. "I can't really study for it anyway. It's not until Friday morning, though, so I've got a day in between to wonder about it."

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Are you guys going to burn the gym uniforms like they did last semester?" asked Lion-o.

[heromaniac]

Momoko grinned harder. "Is that what happened? They aren't very pretty, but I don't know that they deserve to be burned. Besides, these are new, which makes sense if they burned the ones from last year!"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"There were some people who were just a little too sick of them last year," said Lion-o with a smirk. "It was funny to hear about them getting burned, though."

[heromaniac]

"I'll bet! I know I certainly am. But burning...?" She blinked. "Wait, were you in the class last semester?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Yup! We did a lot of the same stuff, like the golfing and bowling," said Lion-o.

[heromaniac]

Momoko gave a small cheer. "So we will have a weird obstacle course thing like you said, then? Is that what you did last semester? I can do that easily!"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"We actually went repelling off a building now that the mun actually goes back and looks, but there were some people who climbed the walls of the dorms a few weeks ago, so I suspect he may do something different," said Lion-o.

[heromaniac]

"That sounds like something he'd do all right! Ah, I guess it's back to just waiting. Were the uniforms really that bad, then?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"They were so bad that I was worried that they'd come back as something awful once they were burned," said Lion-o.

[heromaniac]

"Ghost uniforms, back for revenge against the students who burned them?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure weirder things have happened. Have you see that girl with the alarm clock on wheels that follows her around?" Lion-o pointed out.

[heromaniac]

"I guess you're right! We've lived through some, remember? I definitely think turning into a boy is way weirder than gym shorts coming back from the dead," Momoko agreed. "Someone has a robot alarm clock?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Katina, that girl who does radio with the woman from the diner," said Lion-o. "Her alarm clock follows her to work and everything!"

[heromaniac]

"I know Katina! I met her on the dorm roof. She's an artist, did you know?" Momoko scratched her cheek. "I didn't know she liked robots, though! It really follows her to work? I wonder if I can get one?"

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"I didn't know that. She was in my cabin last summer, but she didn't seem all that friendly," said Lion-o. "I'm sure a robot alarm clock seems kind of cool, but then again, Snarf can bake cookies and make beds!"

[heromaniac]

"Even if it's just an alarm clock and can't make cookies, it still is pretty awesome to have a robot of your own!" Momoko liked Mr Snarf but robots were way cooler, sorry. "I'd forgotten about the cabins. I wonder if they're going to make us do that again?"
