Fifth Miracle

[beamiracle]

[It's the weekend, and there's no school. And since Lion's a teacher and he's already finished marking assignments, there really isn't anything to do. More specifically, there isn't anything around the house to read. So what does that mean? A trip to the library!

A. If anyone's in the library today, chances are they'll see Lion perusing the shelves. And it looks like Lion's already caught on to the fact that since Mayfield classifies him as a man, the only books available to Lion will be books about car repair. Lion's starting to look a little frustrated by this.]

Is there really nothing else here at all...?

[B. Eventually Lion gives in and figures that books on car repair are better than nothing, so he's taken some out...perhaps a bit more than Lion can carry. You may see Lion on the way home, carrying a somewhat precariously stacked amount of books. Lion's trying to be careful by walking very slowly, but still...]

[But napping isn't productive. Still...]

Yes, you have a point. I really am desperate, aren't I...

[ Hey, sleep's important! Especially to a lazy guy like Will... ]

Reading can't be the only thing you do for leisure.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Well, I also play badminton, but it's still too cold for that...

[exwright.livejournal.com]

[ Will raises an eyebrow. Badminton? ]

... Somehow, I didn't take you for the athletic type.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Well, looks can be deceiving. I was captain of the badminton team when I was in high school.

[exwright.livejournal.com]

What weren't you in high school?

[ Will says that dryly, of course. ]

... So, captain. You think you were the best in your school, then?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[Lion was everything in high school. Such an overachiever.]

Hmm, I suppose I was. I did have the skill to back it up, after all.

[exwright.livejournal.com]

Enough skill to beat me at it?

[ Hey Lion, wanna touch my shuttlecock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttlecock)? ]

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. Is that a challenge, Willard H. Wright? If so, I'll be glad to take you on sometime.

[Iyaaan Will such a pervert]

[exwright.livejournal.com]

It's no challenge. There's already a clear winner.

[ Hey, it was a legitimate question!! ]

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

We'll see about that. Would you like to play against me when the weather's warmer, then?

[in that case...maybe...]

[exwright.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Might be fun.

[ Okay, so it'll be pretty fun... And they can run around in really tacky tennis uniforms... ]

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[It'll be the best time you've ever had Will]

I'm sure it will be. It's been a while since I had a chance to play against someone.

[exwright.livejournal.com]

[ They can embrace their manly spirits! Or something... ]

Sure beats reading about fixing car scratches all weekend. If you manage to read 'em all, I'll applaud you.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[Oh, totally. Lion is the manliest man...person...thing.]

Well, I'll see how much I can handle before my brain starts to leak out of my ears.

[exwright.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised it hasn't already happened.

[ I-It's not like he reads as much as Lion or anything. Gosh. He totally just skimmed the first six Umineko episodes, that's all. ]

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

[If that's skimming, imagine what would happen if Will actually read something...]

The only thing I've suffered so far is having my eyes glaze over for a minute or two.

[exwright.livejournal.com]

How terrible for you.

[ Seriously, what a bookworm... ]

So, we taking these to your place?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Yes, we are. Thank you.

[exwright.livejournal.com]

... Hmph. You would've toppled over if I didn't do something.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

I think I would have managed. I just...would have had to be a lot more careful, that's all.

[exwright.livejournal.com]

You were seconds away from crashing straight into some old lady before I showed up.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Wha--really?

Aah, this really isn't my day, is it...

[exwright.livejournal.com]

You were too busy trying to balance all those books to notice. You couldn't just purchase one, could you?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

I thought it would be best to take several out at once, so I wouldn't have to go back...
