"So you guys are pretty cuddly around here, right? Like... no secrets, no shame, no holds barred?"

Cassie looked at Jubilee and rolled her eyes. "Where on earth did you learn to talk like that?"

She shrugged. "Ricky Lake. They say stuff like that all the time."

Cassie went back to writing, and Jubilee watched her for all of about thirty seconds before saying again, "But-- you are, right? All of you guys are kinda... open."

Cassie turned around and glared. "Jubilee."

"Yah."

"Are you going to ask me out?"

"..."

Cassie turned around again. "I'm trying to get my work done, okay? --why don't you go and ask Rick about open-ness. He's the one making out with his gay friends." She grinned. "Or would you rather not go there?"

Jubilee swung her legs back and forth. She was sitting on the table, and her feet didn't even touch the ground. "Naw. He's busy."

"Oh?"

Jubilee smirked. "Either Alex or Kallie needed something, and Rick got dragged to the back room by his ears. It looked serious."

Cassie didn't even look up. "Oh."

"--you don't think that sounds serious?"

"Jubilee, that sounds like a typical Tuesday afternoon." She tried glaring again. "Now, *please*. I have psych to learn and I have calculus to do and I have less than three hours to do both. I'm sure Alex and Rick won't mind if you burst in on them groping each other. Why don't you."

Jubilee hopped off the table. "You're no fun."

Cassie snorted. "I'm not groping my straight friends in closets, no."

Jubes giggled. "But you do throw yourself all over them."

Cassie flushed a bit, but snorted. "That's different."
