A/N: This sort of came from what happened in my Geograpy class last week. I was uptight and completely stressed out and I snapped at my teacher. Mrs. Falconer proceeded to throw some screwed up paper at me, which Nicole, Katy and I manage to convert into a full-scale paper-war with her and her son. I think maybe she did it on purpose, but I don't know. All I know is that I was laughing by the end of it.

Sahira and Jac sat in silence in the lounge, doing some of the paperwork they both had put off until they absolutely had to do it. They sat on one side each of the table, scribbling notes and running their fingers through their hair when they had to re-read something. "Can you read Elliot's writing, Jac?" Sahira finally asked her colleague reluctantly.
"After a few years practice," she replied. "Let me see." Sahira handed over the file and waited a moment for Jac to decipher the writing. "Myo…myocardial infarction," she said. She handed it back to Sahira with a smirk. So, she could read Elliot Hope's writing and she couldn't. Mind you, she struggled with it sometimes too, so she could hardly talk. "So why is Little Miss Girl Power stuck here doing paperwork and not in theatre or with her kids?" Jac couldn't stop herself from sniping.
Sahira scrunched a scrap bit of paper up and threw it at Jac without even looking up. "Hey!" she exclaimed. She returned the favour and threw a ball of paper at Sahira. They continued to throw the paper at each other, and before they knew it, they were laughing. The found themselves using the chairs as defences and throwing the balls of paper through the legs. They then stood up and continued the war at their full height, ducking and laughing all the time. This was the first time they had done anything that was not hostile or unpleasant. The first time they had really had any fun together.
Sahira launched a ball of knotted paper at Jac, who was in front of the door, not realising that it was about to open. Jac dodged it and it hit the person entering the room instead. And who had she just got with her paper weapon?
Henrik Hanssen.
Sahira and Jac glanced at each other, and he thought they resembled a pair of schoolgirls who had just broken the rules and were expecting to be reprimanded. So, rather than give them into trouble, he merely placed the file on the table and said, "It's always good to see foes become friends, isn't it?" He looked at them politely and headed to the door. He turned briefly. "Do continue," he told them.
The pair resumed their war when Hanssen left. "In answer to your question," Sahira said as she tossed a bit of paper at Jac, "Hanssen made me." As their battle continued, Sahira wondered if Hanssen had expected this to happen today. He had, after all made her stay, and she knew that Elliot and Hanssen were using that office, meaning that Jac had to work here. Was this deliberate? She wouldn't have put it past him. He was, in her eyes and many others', the creator of the best plans to make people do the right thing, or make them be pleasant to each other, in this case. She would never know.
Hope it was alright!
