Chapter 11 - Advanced Education
After Satoshi and Molly’s wedding hoopla had died down, Bebe turned in her further education intent letter to the school where she was currently employed as a teacher’s aide and they granted her the time. Which was great because her only other option was to say “I quit.” And anyhow, the school being just fine with her post-secondary schooling said. “Here ya go, enjoy your unpaid sabbatical for four years.
Well, at least, at the end of it she would be a teacher in a specialty that would pay her a decent wage.

Haruo and River were starting to pack for university. Haruo was vascillating between the offer from the school for a sports scholarship or doing sciences; he was going to stay as far away from chemistry as possible – he didn’t want to turn the school lab into a smoking ruin. And considering the advanced chemicals and reactive elements that university chemistry students worked with, the devastation wrought on the lab could potentially have a damage radius of up to ten miles with the surrounding area glowing a luminescent green. Needless to say; a little uranium goes a long way.

The fact that post-secondary school, also known as university or colleges in some parts of the world, was nearly upon them was an exhilarating feeling. It was the feeling of freedom, of new opportunities to explore and live life as young adults albeit knowing that no-one cared if they did reasonably well, succeeded more than their wildest dreams or failed spectacularly.

University was a stepping stone to real life, that attendance at classes assignment completion and doing well on tests was on their shoulders; their own responsibility. No-one was going to look over their shoulder to see what they were doing, to castigate them for poor attendance, for slacking off and not doing their work. They needed to do this work for themselves and hone themselves into successful adults who would make an impact in the world.
They would make an imprint on life as life would make their impression on them.

River was ready to go. She was as impatient as a racehorse in the stocks waiting for the gate to swing open so she could run full-tilt down the course. That anxiety and eagerness translated into checking and double-checking her scores on her aptitude test to make sure that they were right and counting down the days until they headed off to UBC.
And River, being her loving self, was going to wind her boyfriend, now fiance, into knots throughout their time at university so that he would essentially beg to get married as soon as they got home. That is if Satoshi hadn’t populated the town with French-Chikamoris by then. If that was the case, they would have to just find themselves their own island to populate.

Just the thought of all that populating made River woohooally frustrated. Maybe she could drag Haruo into the shower? Or would the frustration she felt make that first time they coupled intimately even better? Anyhow, all that would have to wait till she got to university where they would ultimately decide the direction of their lives. And how they would ultimately live it. But they definitely had plans to go to see different countries before she ended up pregnant with their first child.

Pregnancy had always been a consideration even though they hadn’t really talked about children very much. Haruo liked the idea of having children and River and Haruo both having been only children meant that for the most part they’d only had each other as siblings. They wanted their own children to have blood-siblings. And they’d just wasted three years of post-secondary life waiting on Molly and Satoshi to get their kid out and into toddler stage meaning that the three younger young adults were pushing twenty-two. They would be pushing twenty six by the time they graduated university and River worried that her best child-bearing years would be behind her. Or would it?

Sandi French, Molly’s little urchin had always talked a little crazy, but lately she’d been yammering about a young-again potion that she said she’d discovered. Considering the fact that Sandi liked to stand on chairs and posture regally carrying on royal airs as well as sitting on the couch making engine noises like a race-car driver, wearing biking helmet and goggles; no-one put stock in the idea that she could have conceivably come up with a potion to significantly prolong life.
Maybe they might try it on a whim but as far as they were concerned no such thing existed in any frame of the imagination and anyone who waxed on too much about such things would be liable to end up in the nuthouse.
Were they prepared for everything that they would encounter at university? The school-work and balancing leisure activities with studying. University was primarily a learning atmosphere but a lot of young students liked to experiment socially to see what relationships were like. River already had found the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with and she wasn’t going there to experiment. She just wanted him so badly that when they got to their dorm room, she wanted to lock the door, push him on the bed and have her merry way with him, mutually taking each other’s respectability, She let out a frustrated sigh which caught Bebe’s attention.

"You just want to have your merry way with him, don’t you?” Bebe smirked at her amatorially frustrated and discombobulated friend, being directly lewd for the first time. They were young adults who were of legal age of consent. It shouldn’t shock River.
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6CDHW7zG8Yg/YVEKD4D79LI/AAAAAAAAqBE/3WSMGb7jixYhkm1_2NAKYd2D2UEQA-zcgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Screenshot-146.jpg
"Bebe!"
"What? Don’t tell me you haven’t thought about that." Bebe teased.
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4Az5lL__jVw/YVEKaVB2vzI/AAAAAAAAqBM/VowpJvJz0MsIDBykMR_Hg5UxjaCii11KwCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Screenshot-155.jpg
"Well, it's kinda hard not to think about it with you and Torao playing hide-the-banana in the shower every chance you two get. We hear you, you know." River shot back irritably.
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WabAxMa6wXs/YVEKiwgwAaI/AAAAAAAAqBQ/dSDYlgzuswsGPCV0uyoPBHGyxsLRU55nwCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Screenshot-149.jpg
"Oh, he’s a wonderful specimen of manhood." Bebe elaborated on Torao’s amatory prowess and gave River a wink. "Considering he and Haruo are related..." she ventured on with a teasing tone in her voice.
River narrowed her eyes at Bebe. Oh, River knew all-too-well Haruo was well-endowed. When they slept at night together in the bed, it was hard to not curl up spooned together when he pressed up against her for warmth and comfort. And the warmth of her own body tantalized him when they spooned in their sleep. River shivered in anticipation at the thought of just letting him do with her what he wanted. For heaven’s sake, all this talk about the their men was just making River antsy and irritable. "Will you stop, Bebe, I swear..." River muttered crossly, "It's like you have a one-track mind that keeps going on only one thing; who is going to do what with whom, how and when." Bebe laughed her head off which only served to make River more cross.

"Well..." Bebe grinned at her friend, “a dirty mind is such a shame to waste.” She smirked. "Have to keep it leashed at school; don’t want to corrupt the kiddies at school with all the lewd jokes so you get to be the beneficiary of my happy thoughts." River cringed. "Miss Hart..." Bebe gestured at herself "...to her students is as pure and innocent as the driven snow." She proclaimed clasping her hand to her heart batting wide hazel eyes at her friend in visual approximation of said innocence. Bebe was stunningly pretty and River had to admit that if she didn’t know her friend better, she’d have fell for the Little Miss Innocence schtick, batting eyelashes and all.

River choked down a snort of laughter as she had another sip of coffee. "Pure and innocent..." she laughed...as soon as she got down the swig, "Yeah, Bebe, I’ll believe that when pigs fly."
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eUlYtuLtiS0/YVELuPN94iI/AAAAAAAAqBs/rw5zWki0488VcU4V08qy4oromHmwue3FACLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Screenshot-147.jpg
"So what do you think of Ethan getting together with Lolly? I know that Lolly was sweet on Haruo at one point." Bebe said with another smirk.

River aimed a well-earned glare at Bebe, “Let’s just say that once we’re on the island, Little Miss Trollop won’t have the chance to come near my Haruo. She had no wish for that Racket, as nice as she was in comparison to her siblings, to go anywhere near her man.
"Ooh, a little jealous and possessive, are we?"

"Damn straight, hell yes!" was River’s growling reply, “Haruo is mine.” Bebe grinned at her. Engagement meant hands off to any woman other than River herself and River was prepared to stake her claim so there was no uncertainty in anyone else’s mind as to who she was with and in further clarification to anyone dumb enough to try who her man was with. Woe betide anyone else who tried to claim-jump her Haruo.
