If there was one time of the day that Bert Bartok was not fond of, it was teacher meetings. And lately, there had been a plethora of those, all of which Bert was required to go to. Today, though, he had feigned "sick," and he had scheduled a student meeting for his Piano Literature class that was working on a humongous project so that he could approve ideas. Most of this humongous project consisted of Bert making his students do rather ridiculous things for him, such as go on an impossible scavenger hunt throughout Allegro. Hey, it was fun for him, right?

Bert had promised, though, that after this student meeting was over, he would go to the teacher meeting or see the department head afterward. Since the department head was boring and bound to talk to him for hours and hours and hours, Bert... didn't plan on following through. Ever. Not if he could help it, at least.

So there Bert Bartok was, dodging through the halls of Allegro, tiptoeing past the department head's office and sliding stealthily into the teacher's lounge. He breathed a sigh of relief as he shut the door behind him.

She gave him a rather reluctantly amused little face, before gracefully taking her hand back. "Oh what a loss to the world," Alma said dryly, taking a sip of her tea only to find it still too bitter. "I don't know what I would do, Bert."

"You'd miss me," he insisted. "You don't know it now, but you'd totally miss me. Especially if my face was all eaten by a gorilla." Bert watched the tea in the microwave. "Is it true that if you stand too close to a microwave, you could die?"

"Yes," Alma answered automatically. It was a little silly for her to know all this, but she couldn't help it. It was left over knowledge from all the baby books she'd read when -- well. "You're very chipper today, aren't you," Alma noted, her smile widening against her will.

"I guess," he said offhandedly, distracted as he pulled his hot water out of the microwave. "Didn't have to sit through a four-hour meeting, did I?" Bert turns briefly to throw her a quick smile. "Sent the kids on a scavenger hunt."

"Bert!" Alma exclaimed, half scandalized. "What does that have to do with music in the slightest? And are you sure you wouldn't rather be teaching kindergarten somewhere? What are they learning on a scavenger hunt?" Alma herself teaches a very traditional class, with essays and tests and lectures.

"It has a lot to do with music! In fact, you're part of the scavenger hunt, Almie! You'll see." Bert grinned wryly.

Her eyes widened. "What? Am I going to be hunted down? Bert!"

"My lips are sealed," he said, locking his lips together with his fingers and throwing out the imaginary key.

She frowned at him. "Fine, keep your secrets," Alma sniffed, turning back to her tea.

"Don't mind if I do," Bert said with a smile, sipping on his tea to check on the flavor. Not enough seeping yet. "So, how was the tell-tale meeting, Almie? Learn anything new?"

"Oh now you're interested?" Alma asked, a little bit haughty. "Actually, I missed half of it on the phone with my..." A look of exasperation and mild disgust passes briefly over her face. "...husband."

"Yeah?" he said, amused. "What'd he have to say? How's my pookie doing?"

Miserably, Alma hoped.

"Miserably, I hope." The words were out before she could stop them, and somehow, she felt better for saying it. "We were fighting."

He frowned. "'Bout what? Do I need to punch him in the face?"
