The streets of Fandom- Tuesday evening

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

There were parts of the whole loyalist thing that Annie liked, and parts she didn't. Visiting detention was a minus because it was sad that so many people had to get punished because they just couldn't follow some rules, while the feeling that she was doing something worthwhile was a plus. The feeling of superiority was the biggest plus, really. Seriously, it was huge.

One of the pluses was patrol. It was just like taking a walk, but with rules to enforce. What was bad about that? So Annie was out tonight, walking the streets of town, ready to take down those who weren't doing what they were supposed to.

While humming, for some strange reason.

Yakko ran up to Annie, carrying a pie.

"Here, hold this. And whatever you do, don't eat it," Yakko instructed, holding the pie out. "And remember, I'm a teacher, so you have to do it!"

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"Is this authorized pie?" Annie asked, looking at it suspiciously.

She didn't know what authorized pie was, this just sounded weird.

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

Yakko pointed at the pie tin, which was signed 'Anonymous.'

"Yeah, but nobody knows who wrote it and it's kind of hard to read."

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"What am I supposed to do with it?" she asked, taking it really cautiously. She was basically treating it like it might go off at any minute.

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"Use the Force, Annie. Let go," Yakko said, trusting her to figure it out on her own. "Trust me."

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"Using the Force is frowned upon," she told him.

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"Not that Force. Mass times acceleration," Yakko corrected. "Throw the pie. Throw it."

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"I can't throw a pie, I'm sure that's against the rules," Annie told him. "Also, completely unnecessary. And where am I going to throw it?"

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"Trust me, I've been all through the rule book and there's nothing about throwing a pie indiscriminately into the air," Yakko said.

He hadn't read the rule book. He just ran through a giant version of one once. That's why the rule book he was currently flipping through was bigger than him and had a him-shaped hole that made it basically nothing more than paper edges without anything in the middle.

So who knows what was actually written in that book before.

Oh, and yes, he had a giant book that he was flipping through.

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"That doesn't look anything like the rule book I saw," Annie told him.

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"Who are you going to believe, your own eyes or a teacher?" Yakko asked.

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"My eyes," Annie replied immediately.

Wait.

"I mean..."

Yeah, her eyes.

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"Fine. Don't throw the pie," Yakko said. "Just keep holding it and see what happens then. I won't be the one who has to deal with the consequences." He tossed the book off to the side and out of sight, turned, and started to walk away.

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

Way to panic her, Yakko.

"Wait! Wait! What are the consequences?" she asked, sounding just a little worried.

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"How should I know? I'm not the one holding the pie," Yakko answered.

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"Okay, you're not making any sense," Annie said, her voice getting just a little higher-pitched. "And I don't want to get into any trouble for anything when I have followed every single rule up until this point to the letter, Mister, and I'm not about to stop now!"

What was her point again?

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I don't make any sense?" Yakko asked, rushing back to Annie. "Then how do you explain these?"

He held out a hand full of change with his picture on it. That made cents.

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"That's spelled differen-" Annie sighed. "I am giving this pie to the needy, okay? That's just what's going to happen."

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"You monster! You'd throw a pie at needy people?" Yakko asked, sounding horrified.

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"No! Give! Like you gave this pie to me," Annie clarified.

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"You'd tell needy people to throw pies at each other? And to think, they could be eating them instead," Yakko said, sounding very disappointed in you, Annie.

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

Annie stomped one foot. "That's not what I meant and you know it!"

You're yelling at a teacher, Annie. No matter how puppylike he might be.

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"Yelling at a teacher. That might get you in trouble," Yakko said, as if he had any knowledge or desire to know how to report anything for any reason.

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"No, no, I'm not yelling," she said quickly. "I just... have this thing where sometimes I can't control the modulation of my voice. So sometimes I get loud when I don't mean to be. I can get a doctor's note."

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"That sounds made up," Yakko said, stroking his chin as he considered it. "Good enough for me!"

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"Can you just take the pie back?" Annie asked, feeling really tired.

[thismeanswarner.livejournal.com]

"Nope!" Yakko said before running off.

Deal with it, Annie!

[doesntpatent.livejournal.com]

"But! But!"

She stared after him, then looked down at the pie plaintively.

"But I can't eat you," she said sadly.

She looked up, looked around, and called, "Anybody want a pie? Anybody? Helloooo?"
