Zoe's Office - June 5

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe sat in her office, idly marking student records as she waited for her requested Stickbug invasion.

The door is open for those who have been summoned.

Jamie knocked on the doorframe. "Principal Washburn? You asked to see me?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"I did. Come in please," she said, waving him in. "Now, is there something you would like to tell me about the pranks involving the Stickbug and Meerkat cabins? In particular, your involvement with these pranks?"

Tyler closed up the library and slowly made his way to the principal's office. He hoped Willow hadn't tattled.

"Good-morning-principal-washburn," he said. "Can I help you with something?"

Cameron had a feeling that this couldn't be good. Come to think of it, he wasn't expecting much good to happen today in general. Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the doorframe before entering.

"Principal Washburn?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Eep.

"My involvement? Er. Did I ever mention on my school records that I have an evil twin named 'Skippy'?"

Peter rapped on the doorframe before bowing to the Principal.

"My Lady, you summoned me?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"I certainly hope so," Zoe replied. "You can start helping me by explaining why I have a video of you participating in pranks against the Meerkat cabin."

Tyler shrugged. "Probably because I did it," he said. "Is that all?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

This was definitely a conversation Zoe wasn't looking forward to either.

"Mr. Mitchell, come in please," she said, glancing up at him almost sadly. "Do you know why I called you here this morning?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"I've seen evidence that you have many twins, Mr. Madrox, but I'm fairly certain that they're all you in the end." Zoe smirked. "What would you say if I told you that I have some video taken from the camping area that show you participating in pranks against the members of the Meerkat cabin."

Cameron entered the room and touched the bruise on his forehead (stupid place to have a bruise).

"Possibly, ma'am?" he said not sounding too sure, but ready to feel guilty after getting that particular look.

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe wasn't sure whether or not she was glad he wasn't arguing with her about his participation. "No, that's not all. Last week the Meerkats got to do their time in detention for the pranks, and this week, it's your turn. If you had any plans for Saturday, I would suggest you change them. Now that is all."

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Are you all right?" she asked, eyeing the bruise.

[bigdamnprincipal]

It really was hard to be stern with someone who showed such politeness, Zoe realized.

"I did, yes. Please come in," she said. "Mr. Pevensie, is there anything you'd like to tell me about the pranks that occurred at the campsite between your cabin and the Meerkats?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler clenched his hands into fists, then relaxed them. Something about Principal Washburn's tone suggested arguing would not be a good idea.

"Detention, ma'am?" he said mildly. "Is that all day?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron dropped his hand quickly and nodded. "Just was a little bit slow ducking in a spar," he explained sheepishly. "Is that why you called me in here, ma'am?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Not exactly," Zoe said, although she almost wished it was. "I called you in here to talk about the pranking that went on between the Stickbugs in the Meerkats. In particular, I wanted to ask why I have a video showing you participating in the pranking."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"They were the work of two groups of friends who enjoy a bit of good fun during the summer," Peter offered with a slight smile as he entered the office. "For the amusement of all and the harm of none."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Oh. He belatedly realised that he never asked Molly what she got detention for. He shifted uncomfortably on his feet, but he wasn't going to lie. "Because I was part of the pranking, ma'am."

"If it's the one with me dancing shirtless? I really have a better singing voice but I didn't have a chance to warm my voice up first," Jamie said. "Also if some guy name Guido calls asking for a copy of the tape, make sure you ask for 10% of the profits when he submits it to 'Mutants gone Wild'."

[bigdamnprincipal]

That was a surprisingly good answer, and Zoe had to take a moment to figure out how to respond.

"Well, I suppose that could be true, if it weren't for the way that the pranks escalated. Exploding cheesecake was not only a waste of food, but it carried the possibility of being rather dangerous."

[bigdamnprincipal]

"So when I asked if anything interesting was going on at the cabins, and you said there was just some fun being had, you meant some fun and escalating acts of juvenile aggression?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron frowned. "We never intended for anyone to get hurt, ma'am. It was all meant in good fun and I don't think either side has actually fought about it either."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Not at all, Lady," Peter replied. "The mechanism was rather carefully calibrated to prevent any harm. Except to the cheesecake of course so I can't deny the wasting of food."

[bigdamnprincipal]

"No, it's not that video," Zoe said, sounding a little thankful. "But I'll be sure to keep that in mind if Guido calls. The video feeds I have are from what I assume are later pranks, seeing as how they seem a little more escalated and out there."
