[twenty one] [video] It never would have worked out between us.

[goodgrasshopper]

[Molly is cleaning up her room, getting rid of the detritus from the Admiral's creepy attentions.  Mouse is sitting on her bed with a basket that contains a mix CD, a bottle of champagne, and a ton of smiley face cookies.  She's sweeping up flower petals and putting candles away.  She glances at the camera.]

You're right.  It would never have worked out for us.  But it was sweet--in a creepy way--while it lasted.  Thanks for the memories.

...Anyone want to help me eat these cookies?

[goodgrasshopper]

I got breakfast, flowers, cookies, creepy notes... All kinds of weird and creepy stuff. Like lingerie.

But I'm totally happy to share the cookies.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Wow, clearly he likes you better than me.

Awesome. Where should I meet you?

[goodgrasshopper]

[grin] I'm pretty sure I'm his favorite.

I'm in my room right now, but I can meet you somewhere else if you want!

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

No, that's fine with me if it's fine with you. Mind if my dog tags along? He could use the exercise.

[goodgrasshopper]

Not at all. Mouse needs some friends his own age. [grin]

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Cool, I'll be right over.

[And now he is getting Krypto and flying to... oh, wait. He grabs his communicator again.]

Uh, where's your room?

[goodgrasshopper]

[laughs]

I'm on level seven.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool, I'm level eight. Right, I'll be right over.

[AND ABOUT A MINUTE LATER he knocks on the door.]

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[O HAI THAR. Molly opens the door and gives him a little grin.]

You're here for the cookies?

[SPAM]

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

[Kon grins back and holds out a hand.]

Yeah, just pass them out and no one gets hurt.

[Krypto, however, has different ideas. He pushes his nose in the door, sniffing curiously.]

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[She puts a cookie into his hand, laughing, while Mouse comes out to INVESTIGATE. He is giving Krypto a deeply suspicious look. Molly glances down at them.]

He's a friend, Mouse.

[SPAM]

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

[Krypto, for his part, walks over to sniff Mouse's butt. Kon takes the cookie and bites into it.]

I'll say this for the Admiral. Apparently he can bake.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[Butt-sniffing is the universal canine hello. Mouse gets to greeting Krypto in kind.]

He can. I was very seriously considering not sharing, but... It probably wouldn't be good for me to eat all the cookies.

[SPAM]

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

But it would be a delicious idea, right? [Kon keeps finishes the cookie and licks his fingers.] Not that I'm complaining.

[Krypto finishes greeting Mouse, then goes over to look up at Molly with big eyes and a swiftly wagging tail. Guess who else wants a cookie?]

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

Oh, definitely. [She offers another cookie to Kon and glances down at Krypto.] Is it okay to feed him people food?

[SPAM]

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

[Kon shrugs.] He's a Kryptonian dog. So yeah, it should be fine.

[Krypto wags his tail even harder at that, tongue lolling out of his mouth.]

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

Good to know. [Molly hands cookies to both dogs, then looks back up at Kon.]

So--you and Cissie are friends from home?

[SPAM]

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

[Oh, the always awkward question. Secret IDs are TRICKY like that.]

Yeah, uh, we met at camp. Her camp, I mean. I was just saving the day.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[Yeah. Nice try. You're an awful liar.]

...Superhero Summer Camp?

[SPAM]

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

[...yeah, he really is. Shh. Watch Kon try to cover!]

Superhero? No, no, she was in camp. I was just there by coincidence. I don't go to summer camp. I fight crime.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[Skeptical Grasshopper is Skeptical.]

I mean that team you guys were on, back wen she was Arrowette. That Superhero Camp.

[SPAM]

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

...oh. [OKAY she is in the know. Kon will have to ask Cissie about how much she knows later. So that he doesn't accidentally blow anyone's cover.]

In that case, yes.

[SPAM] UGH. Just noticed that typo.

[goodgrasshopper]

[grin]

Thought so. Cissie's told me a bit about that stuff.

[SPAM] UGH. Well, if it helps, I either didn't notice or forgot?

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I guess you guys must be pretty close, then. I mean, Cissie's not exactly Batman about her ID, but she doesn't tell everyone.

[SPAM] Woo!

[goodgrasshopper]

She is one of my closest friends here. She told me about it once. Man. Her mom...
