Camp NaNo, Day 2

Okay, so. Actually working on my project now. Rather than working on the scene I'm stuck on, I went back to one that I skipped. Having a scene with nine characters in it is always a challenge, but then I remember that most of the Rangers get to have a lot of funny one liners, which makes it go by pretty fast. Whether or not it's coherent at this stage in the game is a problem for future!Amie.
I also sent a snippet to Matt, who I miss a lot even though he lives literally two feet from my house and we can't hang out and plot together. So instead, we did it over Messenger.
( cut to save your f-list )
Here's a snippet from today!
If nothing else, writing snappy dialogue entertains me.

“Rangers.” Zordon closed his eyes, dropping his head. In that moment, he looked as old as he sounded. “Things are more complicated that you can imagine.”
Grabbing a chair, Trini straddled it. The way her arms draped loosely over the back betrayed her emotions - her eyes were as calculating as everyone else’s. “Really? Then one of you better start explaining a thing or two.”
“Because it’s Valentine’s Day,” AJ continued. “I know you guys are from another planet and probably don’t have a good grasp on American holidays, but I had plans for this afternoon that didn’t involve anyone but him.” She pointed at Jason.
In spite of himself, one corner of Jason’s mouth quirked up. He knew well what AJ’s plans were, and he wasn’t sure she would have waited until they left the paintball park to act on them.
“And those two,” AJ pointed to Trini and Kim, “had a date tonight too, I’m sure. Tommy was going to hang out with his punching bag-”
“Hey!” Tommy side-eyed his twin, but she ignored him.
“I was going to be cooking dinner for my mom!” Zack chimed in.
“And I don’t do Valentine’s Day,” Billy said, shrugging. “I was going to hang out and build robots.”
AJ propped one hand on her hip. “And you ruined Billy’s robot time.” She fixed her gaze on Zordon. “So yeah. We need an explanation.”
If nothing else, writing snappy dialogue entertains me.
