Room 317 [after classes]

[tatooine_doofus]

After an interesting conversation with his father early in the morning, Luke had gone for a long run.

And then an even longer session alone with the punching bag.

And then he'd tried some meditation.

Now? He'd spread parts to a small droid out all over the floor, back carefully turned away from the half of the room that was supposed to have a Z in it, and fiddled around with electronics.

Loud Corellian rock was blaring from his stereo and out through the open door.

If you asked him? He was fine.

Luke shook it. "Hi, I'm Luke. It's nice to meet you, Alex. Are you a new third floor resident? We're the coolest floor, you know."

"It's nice to meet you too, Luke," Alex smiled, meaning it. "I am, yes. I had a feeling we just might be. And the most popular, of course," she winked, giggling.

"And the best looking," Luke said, blushing.

"Of that I have no doubt," Alex smiled warmly, blushing ever so slightly.

"So what brings you to Fandom?" Luke asked, trying to recover from the spaz that he was.

"My parents thought it would be a nice change," Alex shrugged, grimacing ever so slightly. "At first I was totally against it, but I've come to like it."

"So you didn't run into the taller version of your niece or a guy who's supposed to be nine years old, huh?" Luke said, smiling. "This place can sneak up with the trauma sometimes."

"Not yet, no," Alex shook her head, chuckling a bit. "I'll let you know if that happens," she winked. "Yeah, so I've heard. I'm waiting for it to happen to me."

"You haven't been here a week yet. Wait until the first gremlin bite," he advised. "Then you'll see some fun."

Pause.

"As long as it's not to me."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Okay, though I hope it won't be me," she winked. "I've heard some stories, yeah. I imagine I will."

Alex grinned.

"Have you been bitten before?"

Over in the corner, Artoo let out an electronic snicker.

"A couple of times," Luke admitted, blushing.

"I take it it wasn't fun?" Alex guessed.

"It is for everyone else," Luke said, grinning.
