[rl] [forward dated] study group time

[primary_concern]

[Teddy's mom's out for the day working a double shift, and Hope is finally free after finding the Lights, so the house belongs to the kids. Billy and Teddy met up earlier in the day and went for breakfast, then went off to pick up Hope and bring her back to Teddy's apartment.

The group is set up in the kitchen, with Billy's Big Books of Nerdiness all piled up on the table and Teddy is standing by the kitchen counter grating cheese over a pile of nachos on a big tray. A very big tray. He is, after all, cooking for three teenage boys. After a moment, he takes a break, turning around holding a can of olives and a can opener.]

Okay, I know Billy likes olives, but what about you, Hope? Any preferences?

You know, I think that might've been one of your more lame jokes, Billy Kaplan. [His voice is teasing, and he shakes his head slightly as the other boy comes over to get the utensils and extra soda.]

Hm, I think I have a sudden urge to add a lot of bacon bits to the melted cheese on these nachos. How strange is that? I wonder what could've made me think about that?

[He reaches up to retrieve a canister of bacon bits from the cupboard, and then goes back to grating cheese, glancing over his shoulder to look at Hope and nod agreement to what Billy said.]
