The warehouse with the burn on the door- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey was running slightly later than usual, having stopped to pick up milkshakes on the way. (This was going to be a thing this whole week.) And when she got there it actually felt a little too quiet, especially when she pulled up a crate to sit and wait.

It wasn't that she missed the presence of the woodchucks, but she worried about how if they weren't here, what were they throwing at someone else?

Anakin came in and immediately sat down and shook sand from his boots, muttering to himself.

"Bad day?" she asked, watching him.

"We went to the desert," Anakin said, frowning. "It was hot and dusty and awful."

[thatwaslucky]

"There are worse places," she told him. "Where in the desert?"

[sith_happened]

"A country called the UAE," Anakin said. "I made them dress camels up."

[thatwaslucky]

"Of course you did," Rey said, laughing.

"It was very culturally important," Anakin said, eyes big. "Somehow."

[thatwaslucky]

"And I'm sure everyone in the class will be able to tell people why it was culturally important," Rey said, gesturing to the crate next to her. "For your hard work, you have a choice of chocolate or vanilla."

"Thank you," Anakin said, looking touched. "This from your Mooby's winnings?"

[thatwaslucky]

"It is," she said. "It's a prize I'll actually use."

Because she wasn't picky. At all.

"I shouldn't play favorites, but I'm glad you were one of the winners," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

Awww. Rey didn't think she'd ever been mentioned in the same sentence as the word "favorite."

"I probably have slightly more experience with that sort of thing than most of them."

Anakin chuckled. "Maybe a little. I hope that means I haven't become predictable."

[thatwaslucky]

"Not unless you've greased the course," Rey said wryly.

[sith_happened]

"No, I think I used up all the available grease on the island for that pole," Anakin admitted.

[thatwaslucky]

"Which was disgusting, by the way," Rey told him.

[sith_happened]

Anakin looked pleased to hear it. "Thank you."

[thatwaslucky]

"That is a terrible thing to be proud of, Master," she told him, looking amused. "There have been so many showers."

Fandom's pipes were probably ruined now.

Anakin laughed. "There was a perfectly fine ocean they all took a dunk in as well."

[thatwaslucky]

"Are you going to be sorry when we go back to classes all week?" Rey wondered.

[sith_happened]

"A little bit, yes," Anakin admitted.

[thatwaslucky]

"If the course is going to get reconfigured, can it happen before then?"

She was teasing.

Half teasing.

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed. "Why?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Because when you miss the events and then reconfigure all this, I'd rather not have to climb across anything covered in grease, especially in an enclosed space."

She probably didn't have to worry. The course already was sort of like Floor is Lava.

"Oh, the smell would kill us in a week," Anakin agreed.
