Anakin's room [way late Saturday]

[sith_happened]

Anakin--who knew he was Anakin, which apparently made him a minority on the island tonight--was so very glad he hadn't been drinking anything when he'd been listening to the night's radio.

After he finished laughing until he couldn't breathe, he reached for his comlink and dialed a number.

"Does it light up?" Anakin asked, sounding amused.

"No, but it's shiny."

[sith_happened]

"Shiny?" Anakin repeated. "Satin shiny or disco ball shiny?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Satin," she said, now pondering the logistics of a disco ball dress.

[sith_happened]

"Good," Anakin said. "It'd be harder to dance with a disco ball."

"I bet Mom could make me one."

[sith_happened]

"She made the Rover a suit," Anakin said with a grin, "I have no doubt she could make you the most beautiful disco ball there ever was. But you already have a dress."

"It's so pretty," she sighed happily. "Bright blue and that's all I'm telling you."

[sith_happened]

"I like blue," Anakin said softly.

He cleared his throat. "I'm going to wear a tie."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I like ties," she murmured.

"Do you?" Anakin asked innocently. "I wasn't sure."

Yes, he was.

"You wear them well," she said casually.

[sith_happened]

"Thank you," Anakin said quietly, cheeks going pink.

Subject change! Yes! That would be good.

"What were you studying on a Saturday night?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Econ. It's boring," she assured him.

[sith_happened]

"Which is why you weren't entirely awake when I called," Anakin guessed.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I was totally awake!" she protested.

[sith_happened]

Anakin chuckled. "Sure you were."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I was," she said, just a touch poutily.

[sith_happened]

"If you say so," Anakin said, backing down. "It's a pointless thing to bicker about anyway."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory bit her lip. "Right. Pointless bickering is fun sometimes, though."

Because it's like we're flirting, even if we aren't.

[sith_happened]

"I wouldn't know," Anakin said, laughter in his voice. "I don't pick stupid fights."

Even he knew that wasn't true.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You totally do."

[sith_happened]

Like this one, for instance.

Anakin stretched out on his bed and snickered. "No I don't. I'm the epitome of calm reason."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, and I'm casual about school."

[sith_happened]

"Most people who are reading econ on Saturday nights are," Anakin agreed.
