    Becky: So I have only one recourse…

    Dorothy:/ Be civil to m-

    Becky: Get into Yale myself before you can!

    Narrator: Historians now believe that this was the turning point that set young Rebecca MacIntyre on her new path. Soon the fires of revolution would burn and the bloody reign of Tyrant Empress Becky I would begin. Although the human race would survive, and civilization begin to rebuild, as we toil in the ashes and gaze upon the blood red sky, we can all agree on one thing: This is all Dorothy’s fault!

      I mean, I’d say that just deciding in freshman term to transfer into Yale out of nowhere, with no resources worth speaking of save a fixed scholarship, isn’t a very workable plan…

      … but Becky DID become a congresswoman’s campaign manager at age 18, by a mix of dumb luck and sheer badassery.

      …. I’m scared now.

        And as such she is in a better position to get into Yale than Dorothy, because Yale receives thousands of applications that look identical to Dorothy’s more or less every semester. You get into a school like Yale by standing out, and by gum Becky does that! Sure she would have to meet the minimum requirements, which it is fairly probable that she currently doesn’t, but after a semester or two there is a very real possibility that she could. I don’t actually know what the requirements for Yale are, but I’m assuming they are largely GPA based, likely some kind of academic competency proof, etc. (I doubt Becky did super great on the SATs, but those aren’t usually a requirement, or at least a firm one, for transfers from other universities, otherwise there wouldn’t be much point in reapplying after getting rejected once)

    The best thing about this strategy is that Becky will never know if Dorothy is playing the long con. Or maybe she will in 20 to 30 years when Dorothy’s president and her house is seized via imminent domain.

          It was a pune, or play on words.

      A logical person can’t survive big dreams like that without a little insight/acceptance that her big dreams might not come true. She’s trying her very best, but there are a ton of factors outside of her control, many people have attempted and failed, etc.

      There’s even a Bible verse about it! “Be nice to your enemies, because it really, really burns them.”

    Prediction: Dorothy will tell Joyce first. Becky will not be amused that she wasn’t the first to know after all. Shenanigans will ensue*.

    *The shenanigans will have nothing to do with this. It’s just that when Becky is near, shenanigans will happen. That’s a law of the universe.

    I admit it, Becky. I’m more diabolical than you can understand. And I’ll tell you a secret. Joyce doesn’t even know this. How could she not? I don’t know, but she doesn’t. Listen: she’s in love with me. She loves you like a sister, but she head-over-heels for me. And she’ll never have me. Imagine the control I can wield. Imagine the years of torture. And here’s some real torture for you: she’ll never love you as she loves me. Never. No matter how you try. No matter how you yearn. Never. She’s mine. She’ll run to me at the crook of a finger. And before long, I’ll separate her from you altogether. How do you like them apples, sweetheart?

    This makes me feel less pissed at Becky since it’s looking like Dorothy plays along. IE She hasn’t told Becky off or to cut it out, she just… Rolls with it. So either Dorothy needs to actually tell Becky to cut it out, or Dorothy actually sees it as a fun bonding activity

      Or Dorothy thinks telling her to stop will not work while being clear about her intentions might.

      It’s possible Dorothy believes Becky went through a lot and chooses to humor her because Becky might need this and Dorothy can take it.

    Becky is also useful in Dorothy getting experience with general needling pointed assholes should she in fact achieve her dreams of politics. Exactly why she’s her roommate. There are few breaks from that sort of thing in being president and Dorothy probably isn’t into golf. Stress makes Dorothy happy! Or something like that. Wasn’t there an old comic where Dorothy sort of said that.

    Granted I don’t think Obama or even Trump had the people he lived with actively dunking on them but eh. She wants those skills to stay sharp.

      Dorothy said stress is fun. And it can be – positive stress anyway like playing a game on a time limit.

      A stray thought comes to me. Imagine a joining of these two in long term political enterprises. Dorothy’s laser focus and Becky’s undeniable public relation skills could be unstoppable. Indeed the White House might be in sight as they complement each others abilities. Now which one gets to be the leader and which one is the power behind the throne? Could go either way.

        Dorothy is order and Becky chaos: together they may achieve balance. I will admit this does make me think Becky would be President and Dorothy VP which she might settle for I suppose (idk if one is whacky and the other sensible I immediately think the wacky one would end up as President though this is not a hard rule). Granted since clearly past VPs can become presidents eventually though it might not be ‘settling’ for Dorothy. Two terms of Becky (with VP Dorothy) and then Two terms of Dorothy. Then the aliens attack their utopia and top pilot Joyce has to come out of retirement.

    So, will this realisation make Becky change her ways (because she doesn’t want Joyce to think that she’s a jerk)? Or will she attempt to provoke Dorothy to act out so she seems less a jerk by comparison? You see, Dorothy was almost right. The one person who can change Becky’s friendship with Joyce isn’t Dorothy, it’s Becky herself.

      Yeah, she should really be planning for an Ivy post-grad degree anyway. Those work mostly through merit-based scholarships, so she’d be minimizing debt while at the same time getting the part of the credentials that are actually useful.
