He's just watching, amused that anyone is actually enjoying something he built in the slightest.

Then she pegs him in the face.

He shoots her back with a slushy ball of water that's trying really hard to be ice!

"Ohhhh wait I don't have the cotton balls on mine -"

"Eeeek!"

She wipes her face with a handful of cotton.

"Oh you're so getting detention for that " she laughs before firing some more at him.

"I'm gonna blame this on having PTSD from my trainer experience, and I'll say I thought the cotton balls you were firing were really giant orbs of destruction."

He almost sounds completely serious.

The doctor starts having a giggle fit.

"Oh you're good."

"I've had to use something similar plenty of times. You'd be surprised how often you can get in trouble for turning your teacher's stapler into a pistol that fires office supplies."

"Jeez, I'd have my hands full if you were my kid. I would have too much fun. " She teases.

"See! I didn't even get any work done."

"You say that like it's a bad thing! All work and no play makes Charlie a dull lady. You've gotta have something in here we can turn into a completely impractical weapon."

He doesn't even mind. This is the first legitimate social experience he's had in years.

"Hmmmmmm....."

Charlie digs through her drawers and pulls out some elastic bands, paper clips and rulers. Usual office supplies.
"Think we can make a catapult?"

"We an definitely make a catapult!"

Evidently much too excited, Valo goes up to fiddle around with some of the supplies. In fact, everything there is, more or less, perfect for building just that. Not even two minutes of fiddling, and he's got a small catapult ready to pelt microscopic ne'er-do-wells with.

"See, this is like, the only good use for any of these supplies."

"I'm keeping this little bad boy in my office now!"

She tests it out by firing those plastic covers on ear temperature testers back into its jar.

"Score!"

Hopefully Nikki doesn't get on ChArlie's case.

Valo sets up a little "basketball hoop" by the door, using one of the rims from a drum in his bag.

"Go for the three pointer!"

Charlie aims, shoots and hits the rim before she scores!

"Yay!! Think you can keep up with the ol'lady, Valo?"

"Please - I grew up on this sort of thing."

Showing off, Valo tosses an eraser cap into the air. He angles the catapult, and releases at the eraser while its midair. He, too, scores!

"I don't mean to brag, but I got the gold medal in catapulting at MIT's Office Supply Olympics."

"Clever~" she giggles.

"I didnt win any fancy schmancy titles in school like you. But I still think I got you beat!"

She scores another one!

"You're good at this. Somehow I feel like you're playing me. For shame, Doctor," he teases with a grin. "Let's up the challenge, then!"

He sets up a small trampoline for their projectiles to rebound from, and lowers the hoop to a reasonable angle to compensate for the loss of force the rebound would create.

"Let's see how well you make this one!"

"Okay. Whoever gets three points first is the victor!"

Charlie tries bouncing the first one on the trampoline but it rebounds too hard! Totally misses the mark.

Meep.

"What happened to them skills?!"

He doesn't sound disappointed. Instead he sounds relieved, since he totally thought she'd make that. Phew.

Valo does the same thing she did, only significantly lighter! The pros of going second, after all. It makes it, but just barely.

"One-nothing, Charlie. Better start thinking of my prize."

"Hah! Don't get used to winning. I'll catch up!"

Charlie focuses and does it a little lighter than her first try. This time it does go in!

She throws her arms up.

"Mmmmhmm. I still got it!"

"That was- yeah, no - that had to be a fluke. Lucky shot. I let you have that one."

How does that even make sense.

"I totally got this. Make way, make way."

Totally stalling for time, Valo takes another and spends almost too long aiming. After a long wait, he shoots, and scores!

"Two for two! That's what I'm talkin' about. These gold medals ain't just for show."

"Yeah, yeah. I totally have this!"

Or so she says! Charlie totally doesn't have this but she's not going to admit that until she runs out of shots!

"You're way too good at this."

She shakes her head in disbelief as he makes the shot.

Once it was her turn she'll try to do the same shot as before !

But she misses.

"Noo....." She deflates as her shoulders shrink on defeat.

"What can I say? It runs in the family."

Of all the worthless skills.

He watches as she misses her shot and makes a groan in faux disappointment, then immediately readies what he assumes will be the last one they make for the game.

"So, that prize, then?" he asks, shooting without looking.

And he misses.

He's completely oblivious to the fact that he missed.

Charlie points at his projectile that rolled to the ground.

"Looook! You missed!" She teases. "But you still get a prize."

The doc places her hands on her hips and grins.

"If you help me clean up here I'll treat you to dinner at my home. I'm probably the best chef around."

"What? No way -"

He looks over to where she pointed in utter despair. He really did miss.

"That's- uh... you totally... rigged it. Steroids or something."

He fake pouts (or real pouts, it's hard to tell), but he perks up at her offer.

"Well it'd be hard not to take you up on that. Just point me where I need to go and I'm totally in."

It'd be nice to have something besides Hungry Man meals for once.

Charlie bursts out laughing.

"Oh yeah. Inhalable steroids." She winks.

She notices Valo perking up at the idea of homecoming and Charlie couldn't help but get super excited. There was so much to prepare! She's totally going to make so much food he'll have go take home boxes.

"Yes! Okay. Tomorrow night, six o'clock. I do have to warn you that I have five little kids."

Charlie scribbles down her address and passes the sticky note to Valo.

"Holy mother of - five?!"

He stares in disbelief as he takes the sticky note!

"I mean, no offense, but, you're so tiny!"

More staring.

"But yeah, I'll uh, I'll totally be there." He nods, trying to pretend he didn't just freak out right now.
