Give me your schedule and I'll tell you exactly how many hours we're spending in the Artificing shed. We're getting this fucking project to a workable state before the Hogwarts game if it kills one of us.

And it better be you because I'm the one writing the presentation.

[Big Fish]

We're almost there guys. I want to thank you all for managing to survive this far into the year, for not getting expelled, for absolutely destroying at senior bonding and letting me act like supervising is definitely an integral part of making Big Fish Family Dinners work.

I know the new rules are [...] annoying, but hey, shouldn't be that hard if we've all been following the buddy system most of the year, right? Which we've all definitely been doing, including me. Also, if you really enjoy spending time in your campsite with your fellow fish, it's more than survivable, so we're better off than some people there. However, if, for any reason, you find yourself at another campsite or somewhere else on campus and you need an escort to get you back to Ribbonfin, and for literally any reason you do not want it to be a member of the staff, I am always on call. I care more about your safety than anything else, and I will drag Ferdie across the campus to bring you home from Ebonhide, or you'll get a convoy of Newt, a dog and myself to help lug all your books back from the library, or just any combination I can paste together at any given time.

Now, I have two questions: Who wants to plan one last Big Fish Family Bash before the end of the year? And who wants to be my new running buddy in the mornings? I get up disgustingly early and don't stop running until I'm exhausted, so I'll understand if there's a lot of you clamoring for this.

I feel like we're the ones that should be thanking you, Rosy. We couldn't ask for a better prefect or a better Family Dinner Supervisor. There was no way we could be led astray.

[...]

Regardless, yeah. Count me in! Do you have anything in mind?

And I'm actually in need of a morning swim buddy. So maybe we can help each other out?

I'm sure at least one of you could have found a way, but we sent all of those troublemakers off to Hogwarts for a year instead.

Nothing specific, depends on if you guys just want to do a final dinner, or roast marshmallows around the fire pit and work through everyone's junk food, or have a cabin rave worthy of Azurcrest. But a sober cabin rave. With flashcards if anyone feels like getting some last minute exam prep in.

I like swimming, I could work with that. Running and then swimming, or you go swimming while I run laps around the entire lake and shout to make sure you're still alive?

I don't know what you mean. Yancey and Ennis are good guys.

You know my position on marshmallows but I'm flexible. And reluctantly pro-flashcard. [...] I can't believe our final final exams are so soon.

Sounds like a plan! Maybe we should swim first, though? Running until we drop is probably better than swimming until we drown.

Now they are. I hope we always remember how much havoc they wrought freshman year.

Bring some nice cream, we'll roast that over the open fire. [...] I feel like I've been working toward final exams for ten years and I'm still not sure how ready I am. I guess there will be more to keep me plenty happy in Healer school, though.

If you absolutely insist on not drowning in the lake, I can work with that.

I think I'm forgetting. Remind me: what's your favorite story about freshman-Yancey and freshman-Ennis?

Nice cream soup it is. [...] You'll ace them, Rosy. Like always. But I'm sure you're right; Healer school will keep plenty you busy with tests and everything else.

It's among my top priorities, honestly.

That time they didn't sleep all night because they ate too much chocolate and spent the night whispering to each other on the floor of the cabin. I heard all about it and was very disappointed in them.

We can dip graham crackers in the nice cream soup. And I'm glad; I have too many highlighters, I need to use them up.

I guess if we need to keep everyone alive for the next three weeks, that's sort of my job.

Thank uou, Rosy. We are so lucky you’re our prefect.

As it turns out, I also wake up early to run if you still want company.

How do you feel about a Big Fish Morning Biathlon?

Yeah. We should do one last thing. I like the idea of a flashcard party.
And if you need me to follow with a water bottle or something, sure, but otherwise I'm sure you'll find someone better.

I only know how to party with study aids.

You could power walk behind me while I run around the Ornery Oak.

You're both hopeless.

I'll send you off each morning with well wishes.

I drank something labeled apple juice at anti-prom, I've peaked on the party front.

I feel like we're going to war.

How were the cupcakes?

The only possible explanation for physical activity that early.

Distressingly acceptable.

What about for a cleaning party?

Just the right balance of lemon and battery acid?

You're really knocking these party ideas out of the park tonight.

There's something wrong with me, I'm beginning to forget why I ever liked other flavors.

How about... Car Wash?

The rest of us can only aspire to have a palette as refined as yours.

Danny's foam has to be good for something.

You're all better off. There's no way this flavor is any good for one's skin or waistline.

I still think he should just break down and make it edible.

There's finals.
Would you laugh?

Finals are the biggest party of all.

Do I ever laugh at you, Ferdinand?

That's why they put them at the end of the year. Can't have too much fun in between.
Honestly? I don't think you've ever stopped laughing.

Your misfortunes are the only reason I've avoided a heart attack these past three years.

We should definitely be thanking you! You've been a great prefect and an even better friend.

So, you know I say this with all the love in my heart, but I want nothing less than to go running with you.

~~I don't know if I'm a great friend b~~ [...] Thanks, Chloe. I'm glad you came here last year

Okay, but how about a daily biathlon?

You know, despite everything, me too.

I don't know what a biathalon is but it sounds awful.

~~Party planning is a good distraction from~~ Now that Prom's over, I've got to find my next project. Count me in on the planning, even if it is a flashcard party.

In that case, let me show you just how many colors of highlighter I have.

I'm fanning myself in anticipation.

Shit, did you just write this just to yell at me cause I know there's no goddamn way you don't already have my schedule. Unless it's my practice schedule you want, but I know you'd shake down Key and not give a single fuck about hurting his feelings.

But yeah. Sure. I have it so the two bracelets are linked, it's just the [...] emotional transference part that's tricky.

I like to let you feel involved in the scheduling of your own life sometimes.

Do you think we should test them on someone who has more emotional settings than "anger" and "stress"? Or is it definitely in the mechanics?
