You mean, after he skins me alive and then grounds me for eternity.

I can practically feel him disapproving from across the dimension right now.

[allthesensors]

We'll go with the white gown and cinnabuns. Hard to beat a classic.

[backwordscompatible]

Works for me.

[allthesensors]

Now for the challenging part...who would Artemis be?

[backwordscompatible]

[Thinks about this for a long while]

There really aren't a lot of good female characters in this series, are there?

[allthesensors]

...She can be a random Ewok? [He could have suggested Mara Skywalker but this seems like more fun.]

[backwordscompatible]

Obviously, you learned nothing from the water balloon incident I'll no doubt be asking her about.

[allthesensors]

You're going to tell her? [Clutches his fist.]

You were the chosen one! It said you would troll Artemis, not join her! You were to bring humor to the team, not destroy me.

[backwordscompatible]

Hey, I said "ask", not "tell".

Besides, who said I wasn't going to have a little fun myself? I have spells.

[allthesensors]

What kind of spells?

[backwordscompatible]

The best kind.

[allthesensors]

So, I have to ask. Does anyone ever use that as a pick up line on you? You know...did you just cast a spell on me? Because I'm feeling the magic between us.

[backwordscompatible]

[Rolls her eyes]

You have no idea.

Every boy at my school thinks he's clever.

[allthesensors]

You know, I could say that and be honest, because you did cast a spell on me.

[backwordscompatible]

[A smirk]

You have a point there.

[allthesensors]

That must be why I'm feeling so 'turbed. It all makes sense now.

[backwordscompatible]

Welcome to the dark side. We have cookies.

[allthesensors]

I don't see any cookies, only popcorn. I feel like this is false advertising.

[backwordscompatible]

They're in the cupboard above the fridge. Oreos.

[allthesensors]

You were holding out on the Oreos? [Tsks at her. Eyes the cupboard like he is considering getting them, but he doesn't make any motion to go to it.]

[backwordscompatible]

I figured they could be a surprise reward for later...if you behaved yourself.

[allthesensors]

Oh yeah? How am I doing so far?

[backwordscompatible]

Let me put it this way: getting you an Oreo would mean having to get up right now.

See the dilemma?

[allthesensors]

I'm seeing it.

[And that encourages him to put both of his arms around her, one over her shoulders and the other around her waist. You know, just in case she decided to change her mind and go for the cookies.]

Cookies or...this is a hard choice.

[backwordscompatible]

[She lets out the faintest squeak as he envelops her in his arms, laughing. Her arms are pinned to her sides in the process, keeping her from retaliating in any way.]
