  She was pretty but clearly agitated and maybe a bit nervous, though considering the situation we all were. Younger than me maybe, then again my age judgment skills are rusty at the very best so she could have been twenty-six for all I knew. Smiling back faintly I watched her as she greeted me and being myself I classically failed to follow protocol and greet her back properly, instead jumped straight to the question and answer portion present in any normal interaction. Right.

 “You okay?”

     The girl shifted in her seat. So uncomfortable. Did I smell? I swear I bathed today. I think. Maybe. Yesterday? Shit. By the time she cleared her throat and squeaked out a high-pitched “Yes” I’d accepted that I just wasn’t meant to talk to fashionable people and should probably just crawl back into my corner as soon as these people let me out. If they let me out. An awkward thumbs up and an even more awkward smile proceeded a quick “Well okay then.” And then my decent into an uncomfortable silence was complete until she leaned close to me and whispered “Sam the Man.”

    “Um, oka-“ I froze as it clicked. Testing was required. I couldn’t just slapdash my way into this, the risk of permanently damaging a stranger was too great but even with thoughts of caution ringing in my head I still leaned closer to her and in a soft sing-song voice whispered. “Sam, Sam, the icecream man?”

“Kidnappy Sam the IcecreamMan~” was the quiet reply.

    Several hallways away on her trusty glider the Janitor paused as a piercing shriek echoed down the hallway. Tilting her head to the side a moment she nodded slowly and shifted her weight on the glider, rocketing back towards where the contestants were gathered and the source of what she expected to be a massive amount of clean up caused by rampant destruction in the form of two fan-girling friends meeting each other in person for the first time.

    We hate to disappoint.
