I just had this zany thought. (I'm working on homework and my subconscious or whatever starts throwing ideas at me about this instead, I guess. lol) Mike gets accused of being the Man in the Mask... So Matt shows up. (And they'd never believe it's Matt standing in for him because he's blind, right?) It's just the... it's that he actually is the Man in the Mask in the show, but for our story it's a weird element, him being the 'normal' one, I think that's tickling me. Dunno.
I wrote some stuff last night - very nearly posted it. Still on the fence because I think it could us away from some of the crazy antics. (Kind of like what happened with the fluff. lol. I blame Matt and Mike for that...) After I get my hw in shape tonight I'll take another look at it. (Stuff I wrote was more conversation with Matt and Mike and some of Matt's observations as Mike left. Actually, it's probably fine and I was just overtired.) Anyway, I was thinking - maybe Foggy wasn't in the library after all? Instead, maybe Foggy has an hour and a half class somewhere across campus. Mike decides to go talk to him... Almost fesses up, but then doesn't? He wanted to do it for Matty, but then he either chickens out, or thinks to himself that he'll just do it later...
I was thinking maybe Mike is afraid to have a normal life and normal friends... But he wants some normal friends. So, maybe he likes hanging out with Foggy as 'Matt'? One final hurrah out on the town before he thinks Foggy will say good riddance? (And maybe Matt gets pissed? lol Such a temper sometimes... Maybe lead into that epic fight in front of Foggy?)
I also had a thought about our time-line. We've been saying that it's been 6 months since they've seen each other. In the US, the school year for high school students ends the tail end of June. So, that puts them into January? (If he splits with Stick after graduation. Maybe it's later...) The spring semester starts the last week of February, generally. If school has been in session a few weeks, that's March... ? (Originally, I'd been thinking this was the fall semester, but then I realized it wouldn't work - besides if they're in the spring semester, it would have given Matt and Foggy time to become good friends? And Foggy to know what pre-Mike times looked like?) So maybe Mike stuck around until Matt started at Columbia? (I'm also thinking he never really left, Matt just thought he did? Because of the letter?) So, maybe this is March?
