Author: bibliodragon
Rating: Gen
Spoilers: None
Word Count: 100


"You can't have your ball back!" Arms folded she glares down at him from the top of the stairs. Billy glowers back, irritated at her superior position, but the main door steps are girl territory

"Why not?"

"Because he-" her finger points accusingly at his best friend lurking five steps behind him, "pushed Ellen over last recess."

"She pushed me first!"

"That is a lie Saul Tigh!" Hands on hips and all indignant fury, Ellen easily shoves Laurie aside, the pair only allied in the face of a mutual foe.

"You're the liar. Big fat liar!"

"I am not fat!"

cute! sweet! and so in character! which really is the greatest praise i can think of for an AU fic that shows the characters as 10-year-olds! :)
"the pair only allied in the face of a mutual foe."

These are so funny!

Saul and Ellen... They would, of course, be teasing and shoving each other to get the other's attention.

And Laura being all just and teacher-like.

I guess what I mean to say is: MOAR PLZ!

Saul would be pulling her hair and pushing her down.

Children will be children and Saul and Ellen will be Saul and Ellen! Not to mention Bill will be Bill, protecting Saul, and Laura will be Laura overseeing all of their goings on and definitely not friends with Ellen.

Very entertaining.

Very definitely not friends with Ellen, the only thing worse than her would be boys ;).

What a lovely sequel! I love the little detail about the steps as "girl" territory, it reminds me of my own elementary school. We definitely had certain areas that "belonged" to certain groups. Ah, elementary school.

Also this: Ellen easily shoves Laurie aside, the pair only allied in the face of a mutual foe, is a great line.

I'm so glad you decided to follow up on "Drawing the Lines".

LOL, and if you trespassed you'd get girl/boy germs! Or a fight. School was brutal.

Laura and Ellen would totally be best enemies, and everyone would be grateful they were too busy battling each other to take over the school.

Love that Bill thinks in military strategy already.

Next he's planning his take back of the football pitches from Zarek.
