Author's Note:
( Written in Vietnam.
I love how even people in Asia adore ABBA. While I was in Vungtao visiting some family I saw one of their CDs on the book shelf, and then when I let one of my cousins (who's like ten) borrow my iPod, he instantly scrolled to ABBA. Ah the power of music. )
Happy Thanksgiving, you awesome possums! I love all of you so very much!

Opening Song: "Dancing Queen" - ABBA
When Gin wandered into the 10th Division compound one day, he wasn't surprised to find Rangiku lying around doing nothing. While the other members of her division seemed to be working diligently on some large case, she was sitting in a plush chair she had one of her friends buy for her from the human realm, while nonchalantly eating a bowl cherries.
"Shouldn't ya be workin'?" In her defense, she didn't look any more surprised to see him.
"Nah," she replied simply as she swallowed another cherry. "As you can see, everyone here has it control, so why bother ruining a perfect procedure?"
"Ya won't be gettin' anywhere by jus' sittin' on yer bottom," he scolded, though with a grin. "Speakin' o' which, isn't yer evaluation comin' up soon?"
She looked upwards with a thoughtful expression on her face. "Hmm, it is, isn't it?"
"Yer rather calm."
Rangiku shrugged. "It's not that big of a deal. If I pass I get a higher rank but more work, and if I fail I just stay where I am ― with the same amount of work. Which isn't all that much, if you wanted to know."
"So what yer sayin' is that ya'd rather fail?" he asked, one silver eyebrow quirked curiously.
"It is what it is," she said, though now she was grinning herself.
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I'm not sure of I should envy the apathy that comes with yer sloth or loathe it."
"You should envy it, emulate it, and bask it in. I assure you that life is so much easier when you're not worrying about those kinda things." She nodded wisely, mostly to herself, before eating three cherries at the same time.
"Ah, yes," he said with a chuckle. "Your wisdom astounds me."
She ate another cherry. "As it should."

Godot is pretty much my favorite character ever. God, I love that man.
