Bobby (Backdated to Sat. 5/14)
Kitty hummed to herself as she headed down the hallway, plastic bag in hand. As she passed the common room, she ducked in to grab a couple of sodas from the vending machine, then continued on her way as casually as possible. It was almost as though she wasn't carrying a bag of glitter, destined to be used to prank one of her classmates. She smiled at another student as she passed and then turned and headed into Bobby and Sam's room, not bothering to knock before she phased in.

"I found the rest of the glitter," she announced, holding the bag up before tossing it onto Sam's balloon-covered bed. She plopped down next to Bobby and held out one of the sodas. "And I got you a present."

	"Probably," she agreed, setting her can down and reaching for a balloon. "Unless we can figure out where we'll be and just start hiding things over there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know," she nodded, falling silent for a moment before adding, "I'm going to do it, I think. The cadet program." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-05-17 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. I'm pretty sure. I mean... I've been thinking about it. I got into every one of the other schools my dad made me apply to, but I want to stay here, and it'll be a challenge." She shrugged. "What do you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He blew a balloon and sprinkled some more glitter into it. "I think if you want to you should do it. But you know, you don't have to be a cadet to stay here. You can always just go to the college." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-05-17 05:10 am UTC (link)
	"Well, yeah, but that's not as exciting." She paused to fill a balloon of her own. "I mean, I've already taken a couple of classes at the college. If I'm just doing that, I feel like it'll be too boring." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Cadet is a big commitment. You're going to be giving up a lot of your freedom. Do you think you can handle that?" He tied the balloon and shook it to evenly distribute the glitter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-05-17 05:23 am UTC (link)
	"Everyone else seems to handle it pretty well," she pointed out, dropping her balloon to the ground and reaching for a new one. "It will probably suck a lot at first, but I'll adapt. And if I ever decide to run for public office, everyone will love the whole military service thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hewhocometh 2011-05-17 05:27 am UTC (link)
	"You know you'll actually have to serve in the military," he pointed out, reaching for another balloon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-05-17 05:32 am UTC (link)
	"Well, yeah." She blew the balloon up and tied it off. "But it's a question of what kind of serving it would be. I mean, it's not like I'm just enlisting." Grabbing some glitter, she phased her hand into the balloon and dropped it in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hewhocometh 2011-05-17 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"Point," he replied, tying off his balloon and handing it to her since her hand was already by the glitter. "Do you know what you want to specialize in?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think I'd make a pretty kickass spy. Nobody would ever suspect a thing," she nodded, snagging the balloon and popping some glitter inside, then letting it float down to join the others on the floor. "But I don't know. Something in computers seems pretty obvious. Maybe too obvious." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hewhocometh 2011-05-17 05:54 am UTC (link)
	"You could always join the technology program. Get into engineering." He tied up another balloon and hit it over Kitty's head. It didn't quite miss her entirely due to the weight of the glitter within. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-05-17 05:58 am UTC (link)
	"I could. But that doesn't sound like it's nearly as much of a challenge." She made a scared face and half-attempted to dodge the balloon, wincing as it bounced off. "You're so lucky that didn't break. I would have taken you down." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What're you going to do shorty? Drop a half pound of glitter in my stomach?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-05-17 06:13 am UTC (link)
	"For starters. You'll be shitting glitter for weeks." She scooped up another fistful. "If we start a band, let's call it 'Shitting Glitter.' I think it's catchy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hewhocometh 2011-05-17 06:21 am UTC (link)
	"Can't have a band with a name that catchy and not include the glitter queen." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-05-17 06:31 am UTC (link)
	"I implied that you'd be involved when I said 'we,'" she pointed out, adding some glitter to one of the balloons that looked a little bit low. Tilting her head, she asked, "Would you do it? The program?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hewhocometh 2011-05-17 06:39 am UTC (link)
	"Ali," he corrected, whacking her in the head lightly with a balloon. At her question, he paused, fiddling with the end of the balloon as he thought it over. "Remember when we were kids, and we couldn't wait to be Agents? We'd run around the playground fighting the bad guys and generally being awesome?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kitty grinned, wincing theatrically again as he hit her with the balloon. She reached for another balloon, keeping an eye on him as he debated his answer. Tying the balloon, she nodded. "You kicked me in the face once when we were escaping down the tube slide. How could I forget?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You always did take your bloody scrapes like a champ. Better than most of the boys." He tied a balloon and dropped it into the growing pile nearby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-05-17 06:48 am UTC (link)
	"That's because most of the boys were wusses." Dropping a handful of glitter into the balloon, she noted, "Some of them still are." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah...The blood will be different. It won't be a game, Kitty. I know Anna and Ali and Clint and the others make it look cool...Hell Billy and Tommy make it look cool. But it's real warfare, wherever they send you. And you don't get a choice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-05-17 06:56 am UTC (link)
	"But would you do it?" She looked up at him again as she let the balloon drop down to join the others on the floor. He hadn't exactly answered the question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
