Room 311, Thursday Afternoon

[its_theclimb]

After getting back from her sixth portal connection (through the Oregon Trail, and sweet niblets was she never doing that again), Miley was, well... Miley was stomping around the room and dumping her stuff everywhere.

And... sort of muttering to herself.

"Can't go to college," she grumbled. "Just because I was selling out stadiums and meeting the Queen of England instead of holding a spit bucket for the girls' wrestling team! Stupid Standford."

And with that, she flopped onto the bed to mope.

She was just a bundle of sunshine today, wasn't she? Visit with peril.

[[door and post open, yes! though any references to hannah montana are nfb and juliet's thread will be chronlogically last, plz.]]

"None that I applied to!" Miley complained. "And she had cookies. They were right there. I just didn't get one."

No, seriously, she had the hardest life in the whole world.

"You didn't have any backup schools?" Dave asked. "Well, I'm sure you could just forgo school for a year or something."

"But I was gonna go with Lilly!" Miley wailed. Possibly into his shoulder. Poor, poor Dave.

"Well, you'll just have to convince her to wait a year, too," Dave joked as he did his boyfriendly duty and sacrificed his poor shoulder. "I know it can't feel great, but it's not the end of the world."

Don't even joke about that, Dave. She was just spoiled enough to try it.

"But it iiiiis," she whined. "How can I just not go to college? Like, what am I supposed to do, do some -- big-budget Hollywood movie for a year?"

Well. Probably.

"That would be a start. Maybe tour," Dave said. "And I hear picking up a crippling drug addiction and spending time in a rehab clinic can keep you from getting bored. It's not something I'd recommend, but hey, in a pinch...."

Miley whimpered and dove back for his shoulder. Because she was five. "It's not funny," she whined. It was pretty funny. "This is my whole life we're talking about!"

"It's part of your life. There's a lot more to it beyond college next year," Dave said.

He had better believe that considering what would happen to his SAT scores due to Stargate Defender in a couple years.

"Tell that to my dad," Miley grumbled. "And Lilly. And my future."

"I could give the first two a shot if you gave me their phone numbers," Dave said. "But you're going to have to wait for the last one."

It was possible that his smartassness wasn't helping.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Dave, your smartassness wasn't helping.

Did that clear that up?

"Daaaave," Miley whined, flopping back down. "'s not funny."

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Sorry. I'll stop trying to cheer you up with humor," Dave promised.

But it was pretty funny.

Miley sighed and begrudgingly sat up again. "No, it's fine," she sighed. "It's just that I really wanted to go there, you know? And now I'll probably end up going to... Malibu Community..." Her eyes went huge. "With Jackson..."

OH DEAR GOD. IT WAS WORSE THAN SHE'D THOUGHT.

"I'm sure it's easy to avoid him on a campus that big," Dave said, having no clue what size the campus was.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Sorry, Dave, did you say something? Miley was too busy being horrified.

"This is the worst thing that's ever happened," she said, with certainty. "The worst. Thing. Ever to happen. Ever."

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"At least you still have your friends," Dave said. "And me."

Miley paused.

"Yeah, you're right," she admitted, softening and moving to lay her head on his shoulder. Offering him some puppy eyes, because she was cruel, she suggested, "Make me an omelette?"

Miley, you lazy asshole.
