OOM: Amity Park Visit Day

[ami_imperfect]

Pushing a sweater out of the way, Dani walks through her closet/door to Milliways and into her bedroom. She stops and looks over her shoulder behind her.

"You coming?"

The commotion near the boys' bathroom didn't go unnoticed by Dani or the others. She hurried over in time to see Dash rush Enzo, only to wind up flying into the lockers.

She's cheering right along with the rest of the student body.

It's not that Enzo was trying to be the center of attention, but since it seems to be the case, he should probably say something badass.

He gives the recumbent Dash his best scornful look and says, "Pick on somebody your own size. You might have better luck."

Then he throws Dani a grin and attempts to join her.

No one ever accused Dash of being a fast learner. He rises, bellows, and attempts to get Enzo in a wrestling hold.

Re: Casper High - men's room

[a1enzo]

The results are about the same.

This time, Enzo's look is one of exasperation. "Will you quit file, already? I'm running out of witty banter!"

Re: Casper High - men's room

[ami_imperfect]

Dani laughs, but at the same time shoots Enzo a meaningful Look that says 'Careful of your slang.'

"All right, what in the Sam Hill is going on here?" barks the enormous woman stomping towards them.

Re: Casper High - men's room

...erp.

"It wasn't Enzo's fault!" Dani leaps to her boyfriend's defense immediately.

Re: Casper High - men's room

"The hell it wasn't!" declares Dash, struggling to his feet.

"Dash started it!" calls a student at the back of the crowd, and several others pipe up in support.

"I did not! He... I mean..." Dash trails off as the full horror of his situation sinks in; he can't very well claim that a twelve-year-old attacked and beat him up, not without losing any remaining shred of respect and machismo.

"I mean... he... asked me to help him practice! Yeah! Ha ha!" He gives Mrs. Tetslaff a rather sickly innocent grin.

"Lame!" bellows Everett.

"Yeah, even a blind earthworm could see through that excuse," a girl's voice chimes in.

A female student edges her way through the crowd. Enzo might recognize her as the third subject in the Halloween photo Dani showed him awhile ago, only dressed in more modern clothing.

"I don't know how it started, but Dash was the only one on the offensive," she continues. "And that's a lot of rage for just 'practicing'."

Re: Casper High - men's room

[amity_npc]

"Thank you, Miss Whittaker." She eyes Enzo. "You're that Gardner boy, right?"

Re: Casper High - men's room

[a1enzo]

"Yes, ma'am." Bolstered by the students' support, Enzo declares, "Dash tried to beat me up in the bathroom. For 'making him look bad'."

Re: Casper High - men's room

[amity_npc]

"I see. And he ended up on the floor out here because..."

Re: Casper High - men's room

[a1enzo]

Honesty is, he thinks, the only policy.

"I threw him through the door."

Re: Casper High - men's room

[amity_npc]

She eyes him speculatively. "Is that a fact?"

Re: Casper High - men's room

[a1enzo]

"Yes, ma'am. I don't think he's used to judo," he adds in a confidential tone which is nonetheless loud enough to draw a laugh from the crowd.

Re: Casper High - men's room

[amity_npc]

"Why, you..."

"Oh, suck it up, Baxter," snaps the gym teacher. "You're not hurt. Walk it off. And get to class, all of you!"

Re: Casper High - men's room

[ami_imperfect]

"Yes, ma'am," Dani joins the other students in droning, although she's fighting off an attack of the giggles.

The crowd disperses and begins drifting towards their classrooms, but Dani and Everett hang behind to wait for Enzo. The girl who had shot down Dash's weak defense also walked over.

So do Danny and Tucker, who've been watching the exchange with the expressions of people who suspect they're dreaming and really don't want to wake up.

"Dude. I think I'm allowed to give you the Key to the City for that..."

"Enzo..." says Danny, "I just want to say that I'm sorry I was so overprotective of Dani, and you have my permission to marry her."

Re: Casper High - men's room

[ami_imperfect]

Dani blinks at Danny in surprise, then exchanges her surprised look with the other girl.

"Did your brother get replaced by a pod person or something?" the other girl asks.

"Ordinarily I'd say 'no'," Dani replies. "But now..."

Re: Casper High - men's room

[amity_npc]

"Hey! Can't a guy make a peace offering in, uh... peace?" Danny says lamely.

Re: Casper High - men's room

[a1enzo]

"I'll take it," Enzo says through a fit of laughter.

Re: Casper High - men's room

[bringnewjokes]

"Congratulations. Come on," Sam tells Danny, "you can plan the wedding on the way to class."

Re: Casper High - men's room

[ami_imperfect]

Dani shakes her head as Danny, Sam and Tucker leave, but she's grinning.

"Nice going, Enzo," she congratulates her boyfriend. "Maybe now Dash'll get the message."

And all it took was a simple clubbing over the head.

Re: Casper High - men's room

[a1enzo]

"That'll teach him to put the moves on my woman."
