Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Dana.

And my boss wasn't in his office, so all that remains is a mega-huge headache.

But I do have fancy cookies in that desk drawer...

Even though I remain the only person ever pulled over in Steilacoom for going too slow. (It was once notorious for its speed traps.)

I've driven through Steilacoom! (Even though I still pronounce it STEEL-a-coom.) My sister warned me about the speed traps. Pretty town.

I got pulled over once for driving too slow. Then they accused me of desecrating graves.

...oh my god, I am Dean Winchester.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Illinois also has treats like Cairo (KAY-ro) and DeZ Plainz to trip up the unwary. Or edumacated.

Also, AY-thens (Athens) and San JOES (San Jose).

Our favorite was always the tourists trying to pronounce "Nenana" and "Tanana". Oh, and "Tlingit".

Oh, that's exciting, Gud! Yay preschool! I loved preschool.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I loved preschool.

I never fully grasped the whole "naptime" concept. I didn't asleep during naptime.

I didn't either, but I was so distressed by my "failure" that the nuns let me read instead. So I got my own special reading time! It was awesome.

I was just talking with a friend about my disappointment at never being chosen as "nap fairy" because I couldn't stay asleep.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Emmett's old enough to be in MIDDLE SCHOOL??

I hereby decree that Buffista offspring are not to age in between F2Fs. It's just confusing.
