Okay, I know this is a Kelly fic, but I couldn't resist that bit of Jean bashing in the last chapter. Now that that's out of my system…

Kelly Don't! Oh Well, Go Ahead Then

"Sir give me the bottle!" Dorothy snapped.

"No," Kelly clung onto it as she tried to pry it from his fingers. "I need it!"

"No you don't!" She snapped as she yanked it away from his grasp.

"Give me back my gin!" Kelly shouted as he started to chase her around the desk.

"No! I made a promise not to let you drink again!"

"That was before I found out the Brotherhood and those Institute Nuts were going to be there when the governor comes! Now give it!"

"No!" She turned around and slapped him.

"Again," He said. And she did so. "Thank you. I needed that."

"You're just going to have to…"Dorothy said. "Well I don't know. But you have to cope somehow."

"Oh all right," He sighed as she walked out. "Stupid AA Buddy System. Okay, so they got high scores. So the governor and an important senator are coming. So what? It's going to be all right. It's going to be all right."

"Hey Kelly!" Tabitha bounced in. She was carrying some measuring tape and curtain samples. "I thought I might redecorate the office since we might be sharing it."

"WHAT?" Kelly snapped.

"It was one of my ideas in my essay," Tabitha explained. "That a student of the week share the office and duties of the principal. Those curtains have to go. And this office needs to be painted. How about purple?"

"GET OUT OF HERE!" Kelly shouted as he shoved them out of the room.

"Gee what a grouch," Tabitha huffed.

"Three weeks of this," Kelly groaned as he grabbed a small bottle of scotch from underneath the desk. "Three weeks of this."
