[ PHONE ]

[Good morning, Mayfield! You might be awoken by a recording on your answering machine. It seems to be half of an exceedingly pleasant conversation.]

Hello? Yes, I'd like to be connected to Paris, please?

What do you mean, you can't do that?

...I'm sorry, I must have misheard you. I could have sworn you were trying to tell me we're in America.

Okay, listen. Sure. I can accept the fact that maybe I did wake up in a complete stranger's bed. The photos of me with people I have definitely never seen before in my life? Well, I don't know. Creepy? Yes. But I mean, hey. If you have an explanation, I'm willing to consider it.

But trying to tell me that I somehow unknowingly traveled thousands of miles just like that and wound up in a completely different country? Sorry, but no. Nope! Not happening!

Look, this has got to be just some big mixup. You probably have the wrong person. Somewhere out there is a very confused girl who I'm sure would be happy to be in my shoes right now. Me, well, I kind of need to get home. I was in the middle of something important. So, if somebody could please direct me to the next ship back to France, I'd appreciate it. A lot.

Ugh!

[In the middle of the living room, the house's newest resident slams down the phone in disgust.]

[ Valentines Day ended in a way Winry did not expect. With +1 boyfriend and +10000 happiness. The happiness had confused her logic and let her spend the weeks following the event with a big smile and cheerful attitude. It's only now, long after the fact, that it suddenly clicks in Winry's mind that what just happened on Valentines Day needs a bit more thought. ]

[ Phone - Filtered from Edward ]

Umm.... hey, Mayfield! It's been a while since I did this... oh geez, how do I even start, um.... hypothetically. If someone you, um... "love"... says that they "love" you back... 

What are you supposed to do from there? 

[ Action - School / Lunch ]
[ At lunch, Winry unloads some mechanical devices she stole from her house. Yeah, sorry dad. There's a missing clock being disassembled in the cafeteria, as Winry is trying to relieve stress by taking it apart and putting it back together as many times as possible. She has two packed lunches next to her. One definitely isn't for Ed, and he's insane if he even thinks that Winry would make him free food. No way. Forgot it. ]

I wish I could take the TV to school... There's got to be something more interesting to be taking apart.... [ She sighs and sets the complete clock aside. ] If I had spare parts then I could actually make something...

[ Action - Around Town ]
[ Winry is checking the stores in Mayfield for two things; things to be taken apart and things to be put together. She'll be popping into various stores all day, attracting drone attention as a teenage girl browses the hardware section and geeks over 1950s power tools. You might also find her checking the prices and writing them down. ]
They're so expensive... oh... but I really want one... [ She sighs, defeated by her lack of funds, and starts leaving the store again. ]

[Most aren't happy to wake up somewhere different from where they slept, especially if Mayfield has changed them along the way. Nox never wanted to live his current life. During the process of waking there is a brief, precious moment when he convinces himself that his dreams have somehow crossed the space between his sleep and life and all he ever wanted has come true. Disappointment makes his wrath all the more terrible.]

[1671 Nelson St.]

[Nox is being the most inconsiderate host. The furniture is no obstacle to his manic investigation - in fact he's considering cannibalizing some of it. The receiver falls when he lifts the phone, catching some of his mad ranting]


- had to be made out of these pathetic materials instead of metal. I could have made a pretty invention for whoever is responsible for this...

[voice]
Whoa. Hold on. Time out, dudes. So school was pretty OK at first, and I guess there was a buncha stuff that was good to know. I had no idea Napoleon crossed the Saraha on an elephant; I thought he was just the guy who invented that triple ice cream flavor. And the difference between geometry and geography is pretty obvious now, looking back.  But this is just gettin' lame!  Why the heck is there homework every day? Who invented midterms? And how do any of you guys have time for video games after going through all of this junk?!

You're all with me on this, right? I did fine teaching myself before; is there like someone I can talk to to get outta class?  I'm pretty much set for life schoolwise already.  I before t except after g, triangles have 360 angles, blahblah, see?

[action, high school]
[Beast Boy is so over this school thing.  The next day, instead of a skinny green boy sitting in his desk, there is a small, green cat curled up on top, taking a nap.  This persists in every class apart from lunch and gym.]  

[action, makeout point]
[Sometime after Valentine's Day, Beast Boy flutters up to the top of the mountain and transforms back into his usual self, sitting with his legs dangling off the side of the cliff.  There is a dreamy expression in his eyes and he sighs deeply as he flops backwards.  ...He changes his mind half a second later and sits back up, leaning over to scream down into the town far below.]

I've got a girlfrieeeeeend!!!!

[Oh, yeah.  Felt good.]
