No, I never forgot about this story. I just could not figure out how to write this chapter! But as I was taking caps of season one today, I learned something: nothing, and I mean nothing, will make you feel warm and gushy and sappy like vintage C/S eps.
Dedicated to anyone who actually reviews this.
Very Superstitious:
"You will do as I tell you, for I am Master Bates: All knowing ruler of man and proud owner of the world's most powerful…eyebrows!" He finishes his Bates impression with a flare, and basks proudly in the girls' giggles. Well, Cody's, to be more precise.
"That is so good!" Adena quips.
"I wonder if he has those eyebrows registered?" Cody manages to get out between giggles. She really is too cute.
"I am Cascadia, Mr. Furlong!" Adena shouts out her 'work in progress', and Cody's laughter gets even louder.
"Afternoon, all." Ah, yes. Nothing spoils an afternoon of Bates mockage like another faculty member. The Doc's cool, but a staff member no less.
"Dr. Myers," Squib nods respectfully.
"Hey, dad!" Cody's the only one left sound light and cheerful.
"Something tells me this is a 'parent free' zone…" Ding, ding, ding! Two points!
"That's why they pay him the big bucks," Cody smiles. And normally, it would be cute, as usual. But he just can't bring himself to laugh and joke normally with the school shrink standing right there.
"So," Cody speaks again after her father leaves, turning to Adena, "let's see your President Bates." So naïve. So, so naïve. "What's up?" She asks after a few moments of silence.
"Look, Cody, don't take this the wrong way," Squib internally cringes at Adena's words, knowing that she most likely will. "You're buddies with our shrink!" She eventually spits out. Harsh.
Squib opts to stay silent for most of Adena's mini-lecture, but he still can't help feeling bad when he sees Cody try to hide her hurt expression.
What the hell is going on here?
Someone's stolen their lucky charms. And when Squib finds out who, he's going to kick some serious butt. He looks like a fool and has been chewed out by Gunns, but to make matters worse, she's laughing at him.
Stupid faculty brat. She's probably sitting up there, silently mocking the silly tennis players and their silly superstitions. A thought strikes him.
Does she know about his lucky boxers?
Does he want her to know about his lucky boxers?
Judging from her laughter, he would guess 'yes' and 'no, no, no'.
And while he's on the subject of Cody (more often than not, these days), just what has been up with her and the Doc? They seem…not close. More distant father and daughter and less…pals.
And, despite her current fit of giggles, she's been looking pretty down lately. He really, really hopes it's not something he caused.
She's so evil.
The good kind of evil.
The 'I didn't know girls could be this cool' evil.
She stole their lucky charms!
Well, technically, Meghan stole them to teach Squib, Adena, and Seb a lesson, and then Cody stole them to teach Meghan a lesson.
He saw her having a talk with her dad a little while ago before she came to hang out with them. Looks like things are back to normal. Meaning Squib can breathe easy. And that even Cody learned a lesson.
Point is, they all learned a lesson, and Cody's really cool.
Yes, a lot of the details concerning who stole what and who was in on what scam were left out. Because I only have two clips of ep 10, neither of which deal with the ultimate result. So I really have no clue what went on…So confusing.
