Scene: Outside the HSU Admin Building, in front of the rose gardens.

"Okay, let's line up, grrls." Sere gestured the newly appointed Hos forward. "General, you're in the middle. Everyone else -"

She stepped back to avoid the scramble as each grrl tried to get a spot next to the black-clad man. "Uh..."

Julia, setting up the camera, looked up and started to laugh. "Ky, that's gonna look *really* odd in this type of photo. How about just standing next to him?"

Puffing hair out of her eyes, Sere eyed Kendra, Brenda, Ellie, JenJen and Jael. "Okay, we'll go by height. Jael, you go there, next to Obi-Wan..."

"But..." Kendra began to protest.

A Look from Sere quelled the grrl. "Okay. Kendra, you stand here. Ellie, JenJen..." She moved them where they needed to be. "Perfect!"

Walking away from the girls she muttered, "Geez, give 'em a little power and all of a sudden they have attitude!"

Julia shook her head at her sister. "Nah." She focused the camera and grinned and Sere. "They're Hos. Attitude isn't optional, it's required."

Turning her attention to the grrls and the General, Julia yelled, "OKAY! Listen up, we are NOT doing retakes tomorrow on this, we don't do touch-ups so you had better get it right today!" Smiling sweetly she nodded. "We'll take five shots, so...STAY! PUT!"

Sere rubbed her ear. "I think they heard you at Wanker U, Sib."

"Hey, attitude." Julia grinned and held up a hand. "READY?"

The newly appointed Hos stood straight and proud, flashing smiles and leaning towards the General.

"That's one!" Julia advanced the camera.

"Get outta here!" Sere chased after an Ewok, shooing the furball out of the photo.

"Okay, one...two..."

"SCREWING AROUND SOMEONE IS!!"

"Ignore that!" Sere grabbed Ellie. "Let Darry deal with it one more day."

Julia sighed. "ONE...TWO...THREE!"

Advanced the film and shook her head as Cal walked right between the Hos and the camera, trailing his little red wagon. "What's going on?"

Sere grabbed his arm and led him off. "We're *trying* to take a photo of the grrls who moved up into Admin positions, Cal."

"Admin positions?" The Padawannabe looked puzzled. "Is that like the missionary position?"

"Uh...no." Sere picked up the braid that had fallen once again and handed to him. "Here. Now go away."

"Oh. Okay." Cal wandered off, wagon squeaking after him.

"Three more!"

"I hope we make it." General Kenobi grinned, winking.

"Look here!" Julia looked through the viewfinder. "One...t-"

"ELLIE! I NEED ANOTHER PHONE!!"

"Such a melodius bellow can only be the Nurse," Sere sighed. "Move and you die, Ellie." She fixed the Frosh with a deathglare. "We WILL finish these photos."

"Why don't we get her a headset and a wireless base?" Gritting her teeth but smiling, Julia said, "ONE...TWO...THREE!" She shook her head. "Only two more..."

"BRENDA? WHERE IS MY SPARE TIARA?!"

"Do...not...even...THINK...of moving." Julia pointed to the grrl and pinned her with a glare. "Stay put. Her diamond fix will have to wait."

Sere chased another Ewok away. "Take it, quick!"

"ONE...TWO...THR-"

"GRR??" Mr. Vocab walked up, peering at the camera.

"No..." Julia wanted to cry. Instead she glared at the Maintenance Man. "He went that way?"

"Grr!"

"This is a f*cking joke," Julia sighed. "OKAY! ONE, TWO,THREE!!"

"Hey!" JenJen pouted. "I wasn't ready!"

"Tough." Sere glared at the Ewok siddling closer. "You wanna be tomorrow night's dinner for the tigers?"

The Ewok scurried off.

"One more."

The film was advanced. The light was perfect. General Kenobi, as always, looked stunning. All the Hos looked perfect, smiling, happy...

"ONE, TWO, THRE-"

zzzzzzzzzpth...chok, chok, chok, chok....zzzzzzzzthp...chok...

Screams filled the air as the sprinklers went off, and Hos scattered.

Julia, wiping water from her eyes, grinned in delight. "That's a great one! I caught the sprinkler right as it was nailing us!"

Sere looked at her sister. Okay, so sometimes the artistic were very eccentric.

zzzzzzzzzpth...chok, chok, chok, chok...

Protecting the camera with her body, Julia laughed. "Let's go see what we got!"

"Thank you, grrls."

Wet. Clothing clinging to his body. Hair dripping into the open 'v' of his shirt.

"You go see what we got." Sere took hold of the General's arm, winking. "I'll make sure the General doesn't catch cold again."
