Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

"We do not have to elope to write standardized tests," says Bella primly. "We aren't even writing them yet! They won't be useful until I'm ready to open my school."

"More petty details. Don't let the future get in the way of love!"

Savannah is teasing.

Bella rolls her eyes.

And leans on Darren.

Darren smiles at Bella, perfectly happy to be leaned on.

"At least Savannah's supportive," says Darren, amused.

[shesepankh]

"Better than the alternative," Bella acknowledges.

[castmyown]

"She would be all glary. It would be terrible."

[shesepankh]

"Spare me from the terrible wrath of your glares, Savannah."

[morethanimaginary]

"Rawr," says Savannah, grinning. "Yeah, sure."

[shesepankh]

"Even if we become less cute at some time for some reason? We are safe?"

[morethanimaginary]

"If you are less cute at some time for some reason you might not be safe. But for now, yes. You are."

[shesepankh]

"Oh, no. We'd better remain adorable, Darren. I'm scared."

[castmyown]

"Me too," says Darren. He wraps an arm around her. "We should try rationing it, so it lasts longer."

[shesepankh]

"How do we do that?"

[castmyown]

"Only certain levels of adorable that we can meet per day, if we go over we are tapping too much from the bank of adorable and risk running out."

[shesepankh]

"But what if we found a way to reinvest the adorable and draw compound interest?"

[castmyown]

"Then we will have to react accordingly," agrees Darren with a laugh. "And reinvest the adorable."

[shesepankh]

"Yay. Cuteness perpetual motion machine."

[castmyown]

"It's perfect! Savannah will never start glaring at us!"

[shesepankh]

"Do you suppose you can make a magic literal perpetual motion machine? To power a generator of some kind?"

[castmyown]

".... Hmmm." Darren thinks about this. "... Maybe? I wouldn't know where to begin, but I don't think I should rule it out."

[shesepankh]

"It'd be cool. And it'd help fund the school."

Is that the bell for Art? That may be be the bell for Art.

[castmyown]

"Both of those things!" agrees Darren.

It is indeed the bell for Art! Off they go, to that class!
