Description
  I got tagged by to participate in 's "Alter Ego Challenge" in which participants take their Original Characters and craft alternate-universe-versions of said Original Character. The goal seems to just have fun creating a different personality for one of your characters and to make a fun scenario in which they'd take on that personality. I thought this idea was really creative and could really test my creative juices. I didn't want to just make a character opposite to who they really are and call it a day. And I think I managed to accomplish that.

Also, if you want to participate, here's what you need to include. This is straight from the mouth of the Rook himself:

     Step 1: Post all rules of the challenge.

  Step 2: Choose any number of your characters, and write an 'alternate version' of them.

  -This can mean anything from a nice person being mean, a pacifist being an expert fighter, a nerdy character as extremely popular, etc. Be creative!

  Step 3: Include a short bio, as to why they are different from the 'mainstream' version. Bonus points if you include an alternate costume!

  Step 4: Tag some people you think might be interested! Though, all voluntary, don't HAVE to do it if you're tagged. Just know that RookOfSpades, whether he tagged you or not, will think you a coward and a rapscallion.(Not really)

With that out of the way, here's the deal. I decided to make this about the College Days trio. Not only because Hanns suggested I do them, but also I love writing about them. They're such interesting characters and I would love to flesh them out more for the people that love the series. Of course, I love the College Days girl where they are right now, so I don't think these alternate universe characters will ever show up in the main story. However, I realized in writing this that I haven't shown much backstory to these characters, except maybe Callahan. Because of this, for each character, I'm going to give a small paragraph describing their canon backstory before divulging into the backstory of their alter egos. I think this'll create the differing effect I desire for these alternative characters. To reiterate, I didn't want to make each character a simple opposite (like making Callahan evil or Emilee a nerd), I wanted to do something more than that. I think these characters deserve an interesting change to their norm, and they deserve a great explanation of their change.

Also, I'm going to include their relationship to wedgies in these universes. Despite their changes, the constant of these characters is that they are all related to wedgies in some way, which I believe is the best constant one can possibly have. I'll also be including a quick interaction with these characters so people are able to compare and contrast their personalities with how they act in the actual College Days series. So with all this out of the way, let's jump right into this!

P.S. Some of the people that have done these challenges have art attached to them. There are two reasons I'm not doing this. One, I can't draw and I've got some really special art I need to be saving for, so I can't hire an artist to make something quick for this simple challenge. Two, after considering what I'm doing, I don't think, in physicality, that these characters would change too much. Aside from Madi who may be more toned than she normally is, the only major difference would be clothing. Hair, skin color, height, weight, boob size, there isn't a major change that would warrant a new design for the characters.

  Older Sister Callahan

Callahan, as many of you know, has a sister, Jessica. Callahan is the younger sister and she's lived with her sister always setting an example for her. Her sister got accepted into a university, plays track and field for a scholarship, found a boyfriend that she loves dearly, and has fantastic grades. Callahan saw her sister's success and wanted so badly to be as successful as she was. Why? It could be that she saw her parents so happy to see her sister achieve so much and she wants that same admiration, or it could be her own urge to make an impact life in the best way possible, or it could be simple sibling rivalry; Callahan doesn't really know why she strives to achieve so much.

In an alternate universe, Callahan knows exactly why she strives to achieve so much. In this timeline, Callahan was born the older child and Jessica was born a few years later. Everything that Callahan wants to accomplish stays the same; go to college, get a big scholarship, and get good grades. However, why she does it is not to follow in her big sister's footsteps.

It's so she can create the footsteps herself.

Callahan sees her younger sister as always looking up to her and her parents as always looking towards her. She wants to create the successful path for herself because she feels as though her family is expecting her to succeed. She is the first child after-all. She started learning earlier than her sister, she's had more time to experience life than her sister. She has to show maturity, she has to show dignity, she has to show that she has a grasp on what she's doing. This is what this alternate-universe Callahan keeps in the back of her mind whenever she struggles. She thinks about the pressure of keeping a strong image for her parents and her little sister. Callahan didn't want to know the results of what would happen if she failed. What would happen if she, the older sister, were to fall and Jessica, the younger sister, were to rise up?

None of this was ever explicitly told to alternate-Callahan, but a lot of it was sure implied. When Callahan was eleven, she and her sister were doing their normal chores, like dish washing and wiping the countertops. And Callahan decided, as she was getting older, that she would start vacuuming the house as part of her chores. While her sister handled the dishwashing, Callahan vacuumed the house with, seemingly, no problem. The downstairs living room and hallway were no problem for her, but then she tried moving to the upstairs. As she climbed the stairs, she decided to vacuum them as well, all to demonstrate how above and beyond she takes her work. However, about halfway up the stairs, the vacuum cord got caught up in the vacuum and it got sucked up. Callahan panicked and tried pulling out the cord, but all that occurred were sounds of a cord being ripped apart. She started shaking and was about to call for her parents, but then her younger sister saw what was happening.

  Jessica, fresh off a break from the dishes, went to check on how Callahan was doing, and she saw the predicament her older sister had gotten herself into and made the decision to help her out. She first unplugged the vacuum cord, stopping the vacuum all together. Then she turned the vacuum on its side and, carefully, extracted the cord from inside. The cord was incredibly damaged, the wires were showing and everything, but Jessica did some quick thinking and quickly ran for some electrical tape. She wrapped the cord a few times with some black electrical tape and fixed the situation completely. Callahan, through this process, was crying quietly to herself as her sister fixed her mess. Afterwards, Jessica left to continue the dishes and Callahan went back to vacuuming. However, instead of completing the stairs, she moved to the upstairs and vacuumed there instead.

Because Callahan strives for perfection, she never had to deal with a situation going wrong like that. She didn't even think to turn off the vacuum before removing the cord! And there was no way she would've even known what electrical tape looked like! But Jessica, because she has the freedom to screw up, most likely knew a situation like this and was able to take the decisive action necessary to win the day. Callahan failed to live like the model her sister and her parents look up to. If that happened when Callahan absolutely needed to do something right, she would've screwed up and ruined everything worse.

Those memories are the ones that keep alternate-Callahan up at night. It frustrates her to remember all the times she's screwed up, especially because she tries so hard to make everything perfect. And these moments that should seem small in hindsight, they aren't rare. Callahan has a million small moments that she constantly thinks about. Moments that could've been better. Moments where she could've been a good role model. This is, especially when she's alone, all alternate-Callahan can think about.

However, it isn't all doom and gloom. She does mask her mental struggle well. Every one of her family members thinks of Callahan as a charming young woman with a bright, kind personality. She attributes this to her smile, her beautiful, bold, busting smile. This is thanks to the one constant between this Callahan and her constant. The rule that alternative-Callahan keeps with normal-Callahan is that she always tries to find a brighter thing to think about, even when things are tough. Her logic is that thinking of a good makes her happier than if she were to focus on a bad. Obviously, she can't always think of something great all the time, but whenever she's in a social circumstance, she's always smiling. Alternative-Callahan's smile invigorates anyone she stands next to.

  Callahan, being the oldest daughter, does have some special perks she only has being the oldest. Whenever Callahan does accomplish something big, like a performance in a play or a perfect A-grade report card, she is celebrated beyond belief. Her parents are beyond proud of Callahan getting into a university and having a theater scholarship to help pay for it. Her sister does look up to her immensely. Her mom has told her that her sister occasionally cries in her room because she misses her older sister being gone. And, of course, because Callahan has actually achieved something means she's tasted the sweet flavor of success before, and it does taste amazing to achieve something. Whenever she succeeds, it pays off immensely.

  The pressure of success also has its perks in other areas, especially ones involving her little sister. Alternate-Callahan, while never being explicitly told so, is seen by her little sister to be the model to strive for.

Her Relationship to Wedgies

It all started one night when she was around six, after dinner, when she saw her dad, Michael, wedgie her mom, Lily, while shouting out "wedgie!" as he pulled her underwear. Callahan saw her mom in a state of total embarrassment because her white panties with blue hearts were being pulled up her butt in front of her own daughter; she thought it was incredibly amusing to see someone so flustered and something so private get revealed to the world. Callahan giggled at this incredibly silly act and, as the older sibling, decided to give her sister a little wedgie as a simple surprise. That moment spawned a large number of wedgie wars that the girls fought in as they grew up.

Now, even when both girls are adults, Callahan won't miss out on the chance to dig into her little sister's pants, grab her pink thong, and wedgie her like there's no tomorrow. It just felt right to her to assert her dominance as the older sister over her younger sibling; it was like she was giving a reminder of what her sister should be living up to. And yes, her sister would normally reach into her own pants, grab Callahan's blue granny panties and yank them just as high, Callahan was still the dominant wedgier in this relationship. And an event that happened recently showcased this perfectly! This is a moment where Callahan gave her sister quite a huge wedgie as she came home from college.

Jessica drove up to Callahan's college to pick her up, and after they had hugged each other and Callahan put her suitcase in the car, the two drove home. They talked about boyfriends, school and the like, and Jessica, at one point, made a comment that she may be doing a better job in IB English than even Callahan had done. Callahan wasn't too enthused by this comment, so when they reached a red light, Callahan reached behind her sister, yanked her stretchy black thong all the way up to her neck and rested it on the headrest on her seat. And, just was Jessica's luck, this was right before they were going to get on the highway, so Jessica had to wait a good amount of time before she was stopped by another red light so she could unhook her underwear from her seat. Callahan was laughing about it the entire way back home, and Jessica just sat in her seat driving while turning as red as the traffic lights she stopped at.

However, while those moments were very memorable, they weren't a daily, or weekly, or even monthly occurrence. The sisters, maybe, got into a wedgie fight every five or six months. They definitely were not as prevalent in alternate-Callahan's life as they are in normal-Callahan's life. Despite her amusement for the prank, Callahan still felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility to achieve success.

    How She Interacts

"Hi Honey!" Lily ran up to her daughter and embraced her in a tight hug. Callahan returned the embrace, squeezing her mother with a tighter hug.

"Hi mom." Callahan squeezed one last time before letting her mom go. "I'm so happy to see you. I've been pretty busy these last few weeks."

"But it's only the third week, oh honey!" Lily gave her daughter another hug, this one out of sympathy, "You need a break. Come on! Your father is in the car, we're gonna take you to that burger joint you love so much!"

The college girl gasped in excitement. "The one dad took me to last time! That would be perfect! Let's go!" squealed Callahan.

Callahan ran out to her parent's Volkswagen where her father was waiting for her. Michael was sitting on his phone standing outside the driver's side door. When Callahan came running up, he turned off his phone and wrapped his daughter in a giant bear hug. Callahan returned the hug, squeezing her father almost as tight as he was squeezing her.

"Callahan!" Michael gave his daughter another squeeze before letting her go, "I really missed you."

"I missed you too dad. This is going to be such a nice break from all the school work I've got going on."

"Oh, sweetheart, I don't want you overworking yourself," said Michael, putting his hand on Callahan's shoulders.

"I know dad, but this is college, I have to work hard or else I won't pass."

  "I know, but please..." He leaned in close to her daughter, "Remember, I want you to be happy more than anything. I want you to pass, but I don't want it to kill you."

Callahan grabbed her dad's hands and squeezed it, "Don't worry dad. Just trust me, I'll be fine."

Michael smiled, "Alright honey. Let's get into the car already, you can tell us about everything that's happened. You can tell us what it's like being back here!"

Callahan went to open her car door, but then she hesitated for a second. "Yeah dad, I'll tell you everything that's happened...these last...few weeks...." Callahan allowed her face to droop for a millisecond. A million thoughts ran through her mind at the same time. She could tell her parents about the Writing 2000 book she planned to finish yesterday but didn't; or the assignment she planned to finish in advance three days ago but instead put it off; or the meeting she barely made with her professor because she slept in; OR the opportunity to see a guest speaker that she missed completely because she slept in; OR the fact that she's having difficulty living with her roommate and her sleep schedule; or the fact that all of this is only happening within the second week of school and she already feels a million miles behind and that she should be doing better than this....but she breathed in, let it all go, opened the door and moved on.

And as they drove towards burger paradise, Callahan decided to tell her parents all of the good things that have happened in the first two weeks. Because despite all her troubles, they are her troubles and she should be able to deal with them on her own time.

    Soccer Star Madi

Madi drew a lot in high school. During her lunches, she would eat alone in the library and draw a large amount of anime characters in her art notebook. She had "friends" but those friends were only fellow art students who were drama magnets. Madi had to watch relationship after relationship crumble in front of her eyes, and she, out of the goodness of her heart, had to listen to every detail of every bit of drama. She hated it and decided to only be the bystander of her "friend" group. This caused her to develop a lack of social skills; she only talked to these "friends" about drama and she hated it, so she kept to herself for her entire high school career. She only came out of her shell when she came to Collage Daze University and met Callahan and Emilee. The only reason she decided to stay with this group was there wasn't another group she could be apart of.

In this alternate universe, Madi was apart of a group where she felt like she could form relationships with a whole lot of people. She joined her school's soccer team and discovered how great it was being on the field. She adored the feeling of running across a field dribbling a ball in between her feet. She was enamored at the feeling of kicking a ball fast toward a goalie, hoping that it would shoot right into the goal. And she was ecstatic whenever the ball rocketed right into the goal; she would immediately hug one of her teammates whenever she successfully made a goal.

And she actually got to hug her teammates a lot, because Madi was really good with her feet. She was one of the best players on her high school soccer team and that caused her to get a scholarship for her college experience. In her freshman year, she immediately became one of the top players on her school's girls soccer team. Madi didn't know why she excelled in this sport, but she had a feeling it had something to do with her love of the game. She felt alive playing alongside so many people she could call her friends, and that adrenaline rush could be the reason as to why she's made herself known to be a successful college soccer player.

However, in her freshman year, while she had helped her team reach the championships, in a really close game, her team only barely lost. And this is where alternate-Madi stays the same to her normal self. Even though Madi scored the most goals of any player during the game, the other team, as a collective, shot more successful goals. Madi beat herself up for days after that loss because she felt like she could've done more. Her teammates tried to encourage her that it wasn't her fault and tried to invite her out to game dinners where she could let the stress fall off her shoulders, but while she put on a brave face, her true feelings were that of disappointment.

Similar to how normal-Madi hated to disappoint the people she loved in fear of losing them, alternate-Madi hated to disappoint the people she loved out of fear of ruining her chances to play soccer. If she started to fall, would she lose her chance to run down a field, dribble a soccer ball, lose the friends she gained by playing on this team. Those thoughts permeated throughout Madi's mind, and it's the one constant that every Madi in every universe shares, the fear of losing something dear to them because of a mistake they made.

However, alternate-Madi is able to get pumped up if someone is actively coaching them to be pumped up. Her soccer coach, after her team failed to cheer her up, decided to set a meeting for Madi to meet on the school's track field, and she pumped up Madi by making her run laps around the track until she was like her normal self. Her coach yelled things intensely whenever Madi began slowing down, things like "Come on Creed! I know you've got it in you to run faster, so start running!" and "I know you can run faster than that! Creed, show me what you're made of!" That experience taught Madi to get pumped up whenever someone got pumped alongside her, and she left the field that day feeling rejuvenated and determined to win the championships next year.

    Her Relationship to Wedgies

While being a soccer star meant there were plenty of natural wedgies when she got on the field, her teammates wouldn't pass up the opportunity to give Madi's panties a quick yank, especially in the locker room. There wasn't a single girl on her team that wasn't willing to run up to another teammate and yank their panties to the sky just for the fun of it. And while Madi got wedgied a fair amount over her years of playing soccer, she got some of the other girls back twice as bad.

A particular story that Madi remembers is when, during her freshman year of college, she had a teammate named Kendall who, after one of their practices, gave one of her teammates, named Serena, a wedgie so bad it ripped her thong in two. Everyone in the locker room laughed at Serena's misfortune except for Madi who had missed that practice due to sickness; one day, Serena cornered Madi and asked her if she wanted to help her get some revenge on Kendall, and Madi was so down for that.

The two cornered Kendall after their next practice just as Kendall was stripping off her uniform. She was left in nothing but her dark green boyshorts with a black bra. Kendall was shocked when her two teammates, one of them being one of the top players, grabbed her by her underwear and hoisted her off the ground. Everyone in the locker room laughed heartily at the revenge wedgie.

"This is what you get for ripping my thong!" Serena yelled.

The two ended up hanging Kendall on one of the showers and spraying her butt with water. Kendall hung to dry for thirty minutes before Madi let her down, but Kendall was beat red afterwards and she never wedgied another teammate again.

However, that's the only memorable wedgie incident she has in her brain. Compared to normal-Madi, alternate-Madi doesn't have a life that revolves too heavily around wedgies. She prefers to focus her life purely to soccer and her friends. That's where she's been her whole life, and that's where she's gonna stay.

    How She Interacts

"MADI!"

"HANNAH!"

The two girls ran towards each other. One girl was still in her soccer uniform and was sweaty as a dog; the other had a large jacket on and felt her face freezing off. Neither of them noticed each other's condition as they embraced each other. The two squeezed each other tightly before they broke the hug.

"You did so great out there!" exclaimed Hannah. She rubbed her hands and blew into them as she talked to the sweaty soccer star.

"Oh thanks," Madi clenched her arm and fidgeted in place, "But it wasn't just me though. If Kendall didn't make that pass in the last minute..."

"Oh come on girl!" proclaimed Hannah as shoved Madi in the arm, "If you didn't use that pass and make that last score then you would've brought the game into overtime. Come on Mads. Feel good about how good you are!" Hannah jumped up and down slightly, not only to warm up, but to act as Madi's cheerleader.

"Mmmmm….alright, if you insist..." Madi's posture completely changed as she extended her arms out and squatted slightly as if she was about to jump, "THAT WAS SO FUCKING CLOSE DID YOU SEE THAT PLAY I MADE LIKE HOLY CRAP I CANNOT BELIEVE I ACTUALLY JUST DID THAT OH MY GOD!!!" Madi yelled as she started jumping up and down with adrenaline.

"I KNOW RIGHT!" Hannah jumped up and down alongside Madi, "THAT ONE BITCH WHO SLAMMED INTO YOU!"

"AW, THAT BITCH FUCKING RAMMED INTO ME OUT OF ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE!"

"I WAS ABOUT TO COME DOWN TO THE FIELD AND WRESTLE HER I WAS SO PISSED!"

"I WOULD'VE PUT HER IN A HEADLOCK IF I'D GOTTEN THE CHANCE!"

"BUT HOLY SHIT GIRL, THAT GAME COULD'VE GONE EITHER WAY AND YOU PULLED YOUR TEAM THROUGH TOWARDS VICTORY!"

"FUCK YEAH I DID!!!"

The two embraced each other again, the excitement needing to be contained within the two of them. As they hugged, they squeezed each other with intense excitement, and there was a bunch of heat generating between the two of them. Pressure was beginning to build between the girls and, as they broke away from the hug, the grinned in pleasure at one another, longing for something more after such an exciting match.

"Lemme change out of my uniform real quick. When I'm done I'll meet you at my car," Madi said, winking at Hannah.

"Okay, I'll look forward to it," replied Hannah, winking back at her.

Madi jogged over to her locker room with a fast pep in her step. While she jogged, she felt energized and purposeful. While she changed out of her outfit, she felt determined. While she high-fived her teammates and hugged Kendall, she felt loved and appreciated. And while she walked towards her car where her girlfriend was waiting for her, she felt completed. There were people who loved her, and that's all she needed to feel happy.

    Philosophical Emilee

In high school, Emilee was seen as the sane person of "that group." You know, the group that, after the last period of the day, was obviously leaving to get high off their rear-ends without their parents caring one single bit. Emilee's "friends" were firm members of that group; without hesitation they'd smoke anything given to them. They had no restriction on what they'd try and they, most of the time, had no regrets about any of the stuff they put in their bodies, even the stuff they hated. Emilee was the one person in that group who put restrictions on herself. She would try anything put in front of her, but if she hated it, she really hated it. She also had a restriction on needles, only the ones she got for herself. However, she was subject to peer pressure. If ever she tried stopping one of her "friends" from shooting something dangerous or shooting it in an unsafe area of the body she was called a killjoy and was shunned from her friends; therefore, Emilee felt incredibly awkward trying to ever stop someone from doing something wrong. That in particular has stuck with Emilee for years now, it's incredibly hard for her to ever say "no" in fear of being rejected by the people she cares about.

This alternative universe version of Emilee doesn't have that problem; her job description requires that she say the word "no" and embrace it. Alternative-Emilee, instead of hanging with “that” crowd of people, she chose to pursue full IB and she became enthralled with human nature. She took a psychology course in high school and started down that path to one of philosophy. She went back to the ancient philosophers to read Plato and Aristotle, then she moved into the Enlightenment era where she read Rousseau and Kant, and she moved into the modern era with Nietzsche and Marx. Suddenly she was gaining a grasp on Philosophy and, going into college, she started majoring in it.

Taking from what her first philosopher had set up for her, she decided to try and find, what she thought, was the just and good light at the end of this cave. So far, she hasn't found it. And she's not very happy that she hasn't figured anything out yet. She has her theories about what the final goal is, and she's read enough philosophers to know what they think on the matter of human nature, but she is far from finding out what she knows to be the absolute good a human should aspire for.

But alternate-Emilee is determined to get what she wants and she will strive her hardest to find out what this "good" way of living is. And this is the trait she shares most with normal-Emilee: she's assertive.

Alternate-Emilee, like her normal counterpart, is forceful with her approach and doesn't hold back a lot of what she says. Both of them have gotten into pretty dicey territory when it came to saying something that crossed the lines for some people. However, unlike normal-Emilee where she's terrified of losing friends because of what she may say to them, alternate-Emilee is more than willing to leave someone if they cannot accept that she said what she said. Granted, she didn't like people leaving her, but she doesn't stand by people who won't treat her with respect.

    Her Relationship to Wedgies

Because Emilee was an avid philosopher, she did quite a bit of reading. She had read a book from nearly every modern philosopher and had studied them intensely to know all the ins and outs of their philosophy. Now one would think that she wouldn't have anything to do with wedgies and she'd care too much about her own philosophical world than she would a small occurrence in the sensory world.

However, that is far from it. This Emilee has a deep relationship with wedgies; a deep, passionate relationship with wedgies.

Aside from her philosophy reading, her favorite pieces of literature are the wedgie-fetish stories she's been reading over the years. She loves wedgies almost as much as she loves philosophy. One of her exes once said to her while they were dating, "Your just city would consist of nothing but wedgies." And she smiled and agreed wholeheartedly, "Instead of the Philosopher Queen, I could be crowned the Wedgie Queen."

If Emilee ever got tired of reading philosophy, her favorite pastime would consist of reaching behind herself, grabbing her thong of the day (because that is a constant of all the Emilee's of all the universes, all of them only wear thongs), pulling them up to her bra-level, putting herself in a bra-connection wedgie and reading a bucket-load of wedgie stories while, *ahem* touching herself.

If she could get away with it, Emilee would constantly walk around in either a shoulder or bra-connection wedgie; however, she's had too many close calls to actually pull it off (many of her friends have almost caught her in the act and Emilee had to pawn it off as just a side-effect of her thong riding up). That's actually one thing about her fetish, and it's something that really differs her from normal-Emilee, who won't care about someone witnessing her flirting or making out. Alternate-Emilee is philosophical in the streets, but a freak in the sheets.

Emilee has only ever told her boyfriends about her fetish, and that's only the boyfriends she's actually trusted to keep her secret. While she wasn't following Plato's philosophy of keeping everything public, she didn't care when it came to her fetish. She was going to make sure her fetish would never get out into the open, at least, not until the perfect utopian city was finally created.

    How She Interacts

"I disagree with that Emilee. If a musician is supposed to only produce music, and a husbandman is to only reside as master of the house, shouldn't a pirate always be confined to the nature of being a pirate, or a gang always be confined to the nature of being a gang?"

"Ah, but Henry, the difference between a pirate and a musician is the distinction of what is just and unjust. The just man, in this case, the musician, is wholly just and he does what is good for the whole of the city; therefore, he stays confined in the good role he was prescribed to. The unjust man, in this case, the pirate, is not wholly unjust and therefore is able to do good for the whole city. If the pirate was a wholly unjust man, then would he not have a crew to tend for his ship? Would not the unjust pirate always attack his own crew due to the nature of being unjust?"

"Of course not. That would be pretty foolish."

"So, Henry, we shall take into account that the pirate is not wholly unjust because he cannot act wholly unjust for his whole lifetime. Therefore, he is not confined to his occupation in the same vain that a musician, who contributes good to the city, is confined to his occupation. Am I getting this across to you?"

"Yes..." Henry scratched his head as he looked down into his copy of Plato's Republic, "Then how do you propose we determine if a person is acting in a just or good fashion? Is it just up to the city what it determines a collective good, or is there an objective good in the world that every city should prescribe to?"

Emilee chuckled, "That, is yet to be determined by any philosopher. Not even Socrates has a concrete idea of the nature of the just. His discussion is rooted in determining how citizens should act after the Philosopher Kings have discovered the just and good ways of living."

"Ugh...philosophy is BS..."

Emilee smiled, "You should get used to it after a while."

Emilee sat with her peer, Henry, talking over their recent reading of The Republic. Their Ancient Philosophy course wasn't too bad for Emilee, she even found it quite comforting to be in the shoes of the ancient philosophers; her fellow classmate, however, was struggling to understand it and Emilee had offered to help him out. They were sitting down in Emilee's dorm room, Henry on Emilee's bed and Emilee on her couch. Henry had his head in his hands and Emilee sat with her hands in her lap, listening to what Henry was going to say next.

When Henry spoke, he threw his hands in the air. "ARRRGH!!" He jumped off the bed in frustration. "Great! Fantastic! Socrates can give us the blueprints for the building but he forgot where we're gonna put the damn thing to begin with!"

Emilee stood up off her couch, "Hey! Henry, calm down. Like Seneca writes, 'Some thing torment us more than they ought; some torment us before they ought; and some torment us when they ought not to torment us at all.' I want you to take his advice. Keep a level head on your shoulders."

"Easy for you to say! Ms. Soon-to-be-Philosopher! It may be easy for you to figure out what the hell these ancient thinkers may be talking about, figuring out what all these guys mean, getting to the heart of what's good and just and all that shit; but I've tried for the past two weeks to understand one word of what Socrates is saying, and I can't do it!"

"Hey!" Emilee poked Henry in the chest. "First of all, I'm not trying to become a philosopher. Do not assume my life's ambition without knowing any of it. Second, don't you dare say I've figured out everything and I know what's just; I don't know a damn thing about what we are to call just. Third, I'm trying to help you out here. Leave if you're so frustrated because I'm not willing to help people who don't show a fellow human respect. As Kant believes, persons are to be treated as persons. I expect you to follow that."

Henry crossed his arms and took a breath in. He let out a long sigh and his shoulders sagged. "Alright, fine." He straightened himself up before speaking again. "I'm glad you mentioned Kant because I actually enjoy the Enlightenment more than I do the Ancient world. I personally like Voltaire a lot more than I do Kant."

Emilee laughed, "Oh yes, the philosopher that rejects every institution short of a public toilet and wished to crush the entire Church, the institution with over fifteen-hundred years of history; yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of Voltaire."

Henry, with a face of offense, cracked his knuckles and sat back down on Emilee's bed, "Alright, let's take a break from Socrates. Let's talk Voltaire."

Emilee sat back down with a determined look on her face. However, before anything, she could feel her underwear bunch upwards slightly as she sat down. She shuddered as she could feel the lace from her black thong tickle her lower back, slowly rising as she shuffled around in her lap. She repressed a smile and composed herself accordingly. "Alright, I'm ready." She cracked her knuckles before she put her hands in her lap, ready to discuss this philosopher with a monster natural wedgie riding up her butt. "Let's do this."

NOW TIME TO TAG PEOPLE. These are people who I think should absolutely jump on this idea, especially because they have such great characters to work with.

ALTERNATE HAILEY IS A MUST!!!!

Alternate Jake and Gwen would be really interesting to see, especially with the whole parent dynamic they have.

I would love to see an alternative Marcus and Liz. Maybe they absolutely hate each other or they help each other through their separate relationships.

Hanns already tagged this guy, but I haaaaad to tag again to get his attention. Friends Sessions is one of the stories that inspired me to write more about character than the wedgies, because all of the girls in that story have fantastic and vibrant personalities, and I would love to see all of that get inverted for some alternative-universe versions.
