Luke was in his room, sleeves up--the gash on his arm was fading rapidly--surrounded by his tool kit and fiddling with Artoo. If it stopped him from dwelling on other things, well, bonus.

Artoo was not entirely thrilled being used as a distraction.

"Try it again, please," Luke said.

Artoo obligingly began to spit back the beginning of "I Know A Song That Gets On Everybody's Nerves."

"It needs to be higher pitched, louder," Luke said, "and more off-key."

The door was open if anyone was wondering what he was up to.

"Umbridge," Luke replied tightly, "thus leading to payback in the form of the most irritating songs in the multiverse. Any favorites?"

"She cut you??" Z had no words. None. She did, however, have a song. "Hang on, Syd has this song called "Me" that should win the Annoying Prize."

Artoo beeped inquisitively and rolled closer.

Luke pressed his lips together. "Yeah, she enjoys causing pain. Don't give her an excuse to use her wand on you."

"Wand? Is that like a metaphor?" Z asked as she dug through the stuff on her desk for the CD with "Me" on it. "Here we go. Track four," she said as she unearthed it.

It's all about me!
Me me me me me now

"No, like a stick of wood," Luke said. "It works, too. And wow, is that irritating."

"..." said Z. "She must be stopped. Are you okay? And, yeah, I know. I'm thinking you could play it on loop as an interrogation technique. Eventually they'll crack just to make it stop."

"I'm fine," Luke said. "I mean, I'm not exactly thrilled I got tossed around like a child's toy, but I brought some of that on myself. Trying to take the stick makes her upset."

Artoo had been downloading the song and blared it back out at them, then tootled proudly.

"You can't have possibly brought that on yourself," Z argued. "Even the principals who thought I was a freak never cut me." She patted Artoo's dome. "That's the spirit."

"I'm not the first one she's done this to, but the other one I know of had his hand cut," Luke said quietly. "I mean, it's not like we can kill her, right?"

"No," Z agreed, "killing is overkill. But there has to be a less illegal way to get rid of her."

"I'm guessing that a sternly worded note won't cover it," he said dryly.

"No, probably not," Z agreed. "We'll think of something," she said with confidence she didn't feel. It was more her nature to do a runner when things got this bad.

"Tori's going to paint Umbridge's office blue," Luke said.

Z had escaped Umbridge's tender mercies thus far, and therefore didn't know about the pink. "Isn't she in Principal Washburn's office? I'm not sure she'll appreciate coming back to a blue room."

Luke snickered. "When I went to visit, someone had stuck deer to the ceiling."
