Atlas Gym | Saturday

In John's opinion, the temperature drop was just another incentive for people to stop in while he was working the lame Saturday shift at the gym. A little cardio, a little weight lifting, it was a recipe for successful sweating - especially considering how he'd cranked the thermostat and queued up some decent tunes.

Old school hair bands went great with a workout. Like bacon and eggs.

Because it is a gym.

Because his air guitar is lame.

Jaina always tried to get in a workout before work, so it shouldn't have been a surprise to see her here. She was a little surprised at the music, though, and might have raised an eyebrow at the selection when she got to the desk.

Someone had clearly not been exposed to enough hair bands.

Clearly someone had a bad memory. John didn't even pause in his singing along when Jaina came in, he just waved, assuming she had better, more important things to do than talk to him.

She always had time to talk to him. Especially after some of the stuff Shelley'd said the other day. She sort of found herself missing talking to him. "I didn't realize you were putting on a concert today or I would have brought friends," she said.

"Hey, if I spread the word too much I'd end up having to do actual work and then where would I be?" John replied, his singing obviously done. He even reached to turn the music down a little if she expected him to pay attention to conversation.

"Bored," she relied. "Sorry, I didn't mean to break up the show." Well, she did a little. It was hard to hold a conversation with someone while they were singing.

"I could turn it back up...but you probably wouldn't sing along." Only Lois ever sang along with him, and that had usually involved a lot of alcohol. And vacation. Great, now he missed Lois.

"I might if I had any idea what the words were," she shrugged. "Oh, and if the last time I sang in front of you led to me being teased about the Pussycat Dolls for years..."

"No way, you did that whole chest thumping thing after that. I might still have the video," he said thoughtfully. Maybe he'd break it out sometime.

Jaina made a face as she remembered that particular incident. And the bruising that followed. "And that reminds me that I'd repressed graduation. How have I not made you deaf?"

This was totally a valid question to her.

"I must have really resilient ear drums," John said.

"Explains the music," she teased. "How are you doing? I don't see you around a lot lately." And sue her, she worried.

"You're not as funny as you think," John teased in response. "And I'm just dandy. I'm here and at the bar. How long is lately?"

"It's been what, two weeks?" she said, thinking back. "And I'll have you know I am hilarious."

"To say you're hilarious is nothing," John informed her. "Backing up those words is a whole other story."

"And how would you have me back them up?" she asked, fully knowing no one would ever call her hilarious. "Since you don't seem to want to take my word for it."

"You could tell a joke." John's smirk certainly gave her faith that he believed that was possible.

"What do Jawas have that no other creature in the galaxy has?" she asked immediately.

"A tail on their forehead?" John guessed, not recalling what those ones were.

That got a half-"wtf", half-amused look from her, but it didn't stop her from delivering the punchline. "Baby Jawas."

John's eyebrow lifted at her sad excuse for a joke. "Seriously? I think my guess was more inventive."

"Inventive, sure, but it's a really bad punchline. You didn't say it had to be a good joke." Nevermind that she'd never found these jokes funny anyway.

"Funny is implied when we're talking about a person being hilarious. It's not hilarious if I'm not laughing, see?"

"It's funny in its badness," she insisted. "And I've got more, but something tells me you'd have the same reaction to those, too." Jacen would be so disappointed.

Because I have to prove I'm done making threads somehow.
