Chapter One - Part Two
The University Years
You sure are looking chipper this morning, Christina.. Didn't you have a late night last night?"Yup. I took a little trip out to the college park. I kinda hoped I'd find someone I'd like, but no luck. I did meet a couple of cute guys, but they seemed a little... off."
Sounds like a so-so night. Tell me about these "off" guys."Well, their names are Timothy and Ash. They were wearing matching jackets with this funky little patch on the chest. Are they related to Songsmith's Wood legacy by any chance?"
Mmmm... no. I did read the legacy so far, and in fact it's what lead to your creation. But no, none of the Woods live here."Songsmith stalker."
Am not! Don't you have an assignment or some research or something? Go say hello to the nice blonde boy behind you."Ohhh no. Nothing doing. Remember The Nose that married into the Woods tree? That guy's nose is the opposite, real long and real pointy."
-mutters- Picky picky. Go do your classwork.---
Emmm.. Chris?"I KNEW it! They ARE part of some weird plant cult!"
Who, Chris? Who?!"Timothy and Ash!"
---
You put down that spyglass and walk away right now, young lady."Nothing doing! I'm going to find out all I can while they're out doing stuff." -giggles- "Oh this you're not going to believe!"
What is it, Chris...---
"They've got a MANMAID! He's all in pink and scuttling around dusting off a... wait a minute.. it isn't a plant, entirely... it has a cow's head!"
I'm warning you.. step away from the telescope. If they catch you who knows what they'll do."Oh, pooh to you, Creator. I need a little fun time between finals and term papers."
---
"Oooo.. there's a bunch of people walking around with rose bushes in their hands! What is it they're up to.."
Maybe a little community service? Some planting for the elderly?---
"For a creator you sure are naiive. You always think the best of everyone, don't you?"
Quiet, you. I may be soft on you since you're my first founder, but I could start over easily."Piping down. Promise!"
---
"A limo? I wonder if they're part of the criminal track... Maybe they work for the Big Boss... Does Good Omens have a mob, Creator?"
Not that I know of.. but I suppose you could start one if you wanted. Why don't you go inside for a while, your hunger is getting pretty bad."Fine... but I'm not having anything to do with Tim and Zeeshan. They keep fighting in the middle of the caffeteria."
---
"Hey Tina! You interested in helping us out with a little student film? We need a convincing ice queen."
Ouch.. Look, Christina, I'm real sorry if my choices for your face made you seem constantly distant and irate. If it helps, there's a girl you'll meet eventually in Good Omens Proper that has a similar problem.. and she's in a beauty competition.-sigh- "It's alright, Creator. Things might have gone easier if I had access to a more outgoing personality. I'm not a.. well.. mean.. person, I just don't do so well at this whole 'making friends' thing."
---
"No thanks, PB. I'm not so photogenic. But I'd love to watch a screening when your final is ready to view! Hey.. does anyone feel like skipping class and going to a movie? I hear Hedwig and The Angry Inch is playing down at The Night Spot."
"Ummm... no thanks. Not much on seeing it again. Besides, there's a lot to do today. We need to shoot the backgrounds before clouds roll in."
"Oh.."
---
"Well I suppose I should get back to work after breakfast anyhow. I have to construct a waffle iron for my final."
"Ohh. So you're still running on Undecided for a major?"
"Mmmhmm. I've been hoping some course of study would catch my attention, but so far nothing. I guess I could just wait and let the Registrar decide.."

And so ends Chapter One - Part Two.
