Room 209, Saturday morning

[can_be_more]

Aeryn wakes up, blinks, and puts down the driver's ed book that she'd still been holding after falling asleep studying. And then she looks over and sees the boy that was helping her study actual studying, completely innocent omg and really really hopes she doesn't get into trouble for this. She's pretty sure it's against regulations.

"I'll protect you," John says, puffing out his chest. "Boys protect girls."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn sighs loudly. Boys are apparently too dumb to protect girls. "No," she says.

"Yes." John tugs on her hand. "I'm the man. I'll make sure you is safe."

"I can beat up monsters better than you," she insists.

"Cannot! You're too little!"

"I'm going to be bigger!" says Aeryn who won't be able to get into a Prowler until she's 16, because her feet won't reach the pedals.

"You're small now though. You're tiny. A munchkin! I protect you," he says, pointing his thumb towards his chest.

"I am NOT a munch...thing!" she says. And stomps her foot.

"Are too!" John puts a hand on his head. "I'm this tall," he says, showing her where his hand is. He does the same thing with her head. "You're this tall."

John is taller than Aeryn. "I'm bigger so I'll be the man and protect you."

Aeryn pushes him.

"Hey!" John pushes back.

[can_be_more]

"But you're protecting me," she says, and pushes him again.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Stop pushing me or I'll leave you all alone here and you'll get eaten by the monsters!"

[can_be_more]

"You're BAD at this!"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You're short! Stop pushing me, short stack!"

[can_be_more]

Aeryn stomps on his foot and starts back to the elelator.

"Ow!" John falls down and holds his foot. He might be sniffling.

[can_be_more]

She turns around. "I didn't do it that hard!" she says.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You hurted my foot! I thought we was friends!"

[can_be_more]

"You wouldn't listen!" Aeryn reminds him. "That's not being good friends!"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You think I'm a wimp!" John sniffles again.

[can_be_more]

"You think I'm too little to do anything!"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You are too little to do anything!" John tells her. "You have tiny legs!"

[can_be_more]

"But it hurts to get hit with them, huh?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Shut up!" John sniffles and starts to cry.
