Saetan raised an eyebrow but took the book. "I'll give it back once I'm done."

"That's fine," Andy replied. "Have fun." She had other books she could distract herself with.

Saetan gave her a look before he started in on the book, wasting no time in starting his reading.

Andy made her way back to Belle.

"Now we wait and see what happens," she said. "We'll see if my hysterics were justified."

Belle chuckled. "Fine by me," she agreed. "Since I won't be reading it for a while, it'll be interesting to see how he reacts to it."

"It's definitely not one of those you can take out of order," Andy replied, nodding. "It's not even a good idea to take the stories IN that book out of order, because the later ones refer to events in the earlier ones."

"Naturally." Belle shrugged. "Oh well. Later. There will be lots of time to read it later." And there would. As long as there were no freak accidents or anything, anyway.

"Right," Andy replied. "I intend to make you read them at some point, anyways."

"Oh I'll get to them without being forced, no worries." Belle shook her head. "You've gone and gotten me addicted. As if I needed any more addictions."

Eclipse gave her a sharp look at those words, which she ignored, and he decided she needed supervision. So he sat down a few feet away.

"You're not the first person I've hooked on them," Andy replied. "And I'm betting you won't be the last." She noticed when Eclipse sat down a little ways away, but didn't comment.

"Of that I have no doubt." Belle shook her head. "Oh well. I'll just have to return the favor. I've got plenty of series for you to read. Including one about two brothers, one smart-ass and one super ninja. They're highly entertaining."

Andy blinked.

"What is this magical thing?" she asked. "And why haven't I heard of it before now?"

"The Cal Leandros books by Rob Thurman," Belle said. "I think I have the first one. It might be a bit worn, but you can borrow it." She started digging through her bag.

"You and I are just going to be reading for forever at this rate," Andy commented. "We just keep handing each other books."

"I know! But it's so much fun. Besides, once you've read that series I can pull out all my mean t-shirts and you'll understand where they come from." Belle grinned.

Andy couldn't help but grin.

"Good, someone else with a fondness for novelty shirts," she said.

"Oh yes. I haven't pulled out my Spock shirt yet, have I?" Belle sighed. "I shall have to do so. I have a bunch of t-shirts from various fandoms."

"I have a couple of good ones somewhere," Andy replied. "I've got a black one that looks like it has masking tape spelling out 'will work for anime' on it, and I have a couple of the good old-school fandom shirts, one of the old InuYasha classics and a Yu Yu Hakusho one." She grinned. "They're in the bottom of my bag somewhere."

"I actually have one from Labyrinth. That is pretty old-school. Considering it was made in the 80's I believe." Belle grinned. "Jareth is still my favorite from that whole movie."

"Nice," Andy replied. "I don't have anything that old. I used to know someone who could contact-juggle, though. She learned because of that movie."

"It's a really fun movie. You have seen it, yes?" Belle raised her eyebrows. If Andy hadn't seen the movie, she'd have to rectify that. Soon.

"Once," Andy replied. "A long time ago. It didn't interest me all that much."

"I just watch it because Jareth is hilarious. And it has fun music." Belle shrugged. "The main character doesn't really interest me, but the plot has potential."

"Maybe if they did a remake," Andy said. "Better graphics and special effects."

"Now that could be entertaining. Although David Bowie is older now, and so is the girl who played Sarah, so they'd have to find different actors, which I wouldn't like." Belle pouted. "Conondrum. Although I suppose we could always just find someone with a Jareth..."
