Title: Enter : Justice, Stage Center
Featuring: Mary-Lynn Mayweather
Date: Spring, 2004
Location: University of Southern California Law School, Los Angeles, CA

The sun warms brightly over downtown Los Angeles, on a regular ordinary spring day.

"I got in!"

Skipping down the street in a pair of bright pink pajamas (why is that a pair anyway?) with the word "Juicy" written on back, Mary-Lynn brightly chats away on her phone. So bright it's brighter than the sun. She's wearing a flannel shirt and a tightly wound ponytail of bright red hair, flowing all the way to her waist. "Two weeks ago I join the I&R Institute, and now it gets absorbed into the Law Program."

She stopped right outside of the main entrance to the law school, checking a sheet outside on the bulletin board. She smiled brightly as another girl, a bushy brunette, backpack in tow, jeans and a t-shirt, races toward our PRIME Protégé, Mary-Lynn Mayweather. "I gotta go dad. Bye. HI!" Mary-Lynn quickly turns off her cell phone(as she can't flip it shut), and hugs her friend, a 24 year old Elizabeth Icarus, a well endowed woman studying advanced level calculus integrated with astronomy and physics. So you can learn to trust me when I tell you the obvious, Liz Icarus did not get out much. They lived in an apartment just off campus, equal distance away from their respective schools, just to be fair.

After a moment they part.

Another moment lingered.

"So?" Liz started, waiting for an answer on her tippy toes.

"Hi. Where's your Hi?" Mary-Lynn quipped, smiling at Liz as she leaned against the Bulletin board. Strangely enough, an outdated... well, not to be pun-like, but an outdated flyer, for High Flyer's FIRST Training school held originally in 2000, had been hung way too low and apparently never ripped down. It swayed just below her hand.

"Stop playing coy with me. I heard on CNN. I freaking heard on CNN." Liz slapped Mary-Lynn's crossed arms so they would uncross. "Your division's getting merged with the Law School! They aren't dumping people, are they?"

"Only the unexceptional." Mary-Lynn said, shrugging as she reached into her backpack. She pulled out some chap stick and applied. "It's gonna be awesome!"

And so, they hugged again, this time, jumping in the air as they did, gathering quite the few noticeable stares from their fellow colleagues. It didn't matter. For both were feeling that this ordinary day was anything but.

Mary-Lynn was taken aback for a moment, as she looked over her back shoulder to Liz's hand. On her ring finger was, well... a ring. One of those diamonds you could only imagine, and any description would do it no merit. Mary-Lynn turned back to Liz, jaw agape.

"Oh!" Liz said, pulling her hand closer to herself. Then, she held it out as if to correctly display it, to unveil the sparkling diamond to the summer air. "It happened last night."

"Freaking Christmas." Mary-Lynn said, getting a firm look at her friend's engagement ring. "You wouldn't want to pawn that, would you? I know a guy. Probably pay a year of our tuition." She smiled, coyly. “How nuts is your brain right now?” She said, tilting her head to its side. “I mean, mine would be filled with a whole hibernating winter’s full of crazy.”

“That’s cause it is already. You know, you really need to find an outlet for that. Like, say, a boyfriend?” Liz said, stealing Mary-Lynn’s coyness from her. Mary-Lynn sighed.

“How would I find the time taking Intro Law School classes alongside my fourth year studies?” Mary-Lynn Mayweather returned the Chap Stick to her bag, and pulled out a tamagotchi. Quickly, she dropped said tamagotchi to the ground, and stomped it viciously. She routinely carried one of these around, just for said occasion, when Mary-Lynn’s intellect could do nothing to help her solve her problem. She really hated those beeping fuckers. “Y’know, I see why you study math. There’s always an answer. And that’s my outlet thank you.”

“Not with Astro-physics. I mean, it’s a lot of repetitive questions at this point. It’s quite frustrating. Y’know, I’d race you to graduate from our Master’s degree, but you’d probably win.” Elizabeth said, trying to cheer her up. “So, are we gonna see your future or what?”
