Author's Note: So, because I'm unable to leave well enough alone, here's a fic with what I would do with Emma if I were running the show. This is basically going to be another one of my series-of-snapshots fics.

Spoilers/Warnings: AU from The Slice Girls onwards, but spoilers up to and including The Born-Again Identity. (Hey Show, this whole ripping off movie titles thing? It's getting kinda lame.)

Wrong

She's sick after eating that offering.

Sophie finds her and holds her hair back for her, wrinkling her button nose at the smell.

Emma sits back, flushes the toilet and goes to the sink to wash her mouth out. She's sick again.

After her belly's empty, she and Sophie sit with their backs against the tiled wall of the communal bathroom and watch the moon arch overhead through its one window; a skylight, barred against intrusion.

"Why do you think you were sick?" Sophie asks after a few minutes.

Emma shrugs. "Maybe the tribute went bad," she murmurs.

"Maybe it was Harmony's father," Sophie snickers.

Harmony is one of their dormmates, and had been given her name from a register like all the others, but her mother had made the mistake of telling her she was named after their goddess. Harmony is insufferable.

Emma rolls her eyes. "That's not possible and you know it."

Sophie just giggles again.

"Maybe there's just something wrong with you," a voice pipes up from the doorway. It's Harmony, glaring at them.

"Maybe there's something wrong with your face," Sophie throws back.

"There's nothing wrong with me or my face," Harmony snaps. "At least I didn't reject the goddess's tribute."

With that parting shot, she flounces back to the dorm.

"She is such a waste of space," Sophie mutters, taking Emma's hand in comfort.

Emma smiles at her friend, but her insides are cold.
