The Lawn | Noon Onward!

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

With graduation festivities occurring over the weekend, the school administration expected most of the graduation guests to begin arriving today. To ensure guests felt welcomed, Barney's student council minions had set up a small gathering on the lawn where the guests could arrive, mingle, and feign relaxation before heading off with their graduates.

Or where they could all hear about how George got the makeouts with his girl the night before. Someone was a little chatty while hefting the tables and chairs that would serve guests well for getting a load off after travel, and Barney thought it was a tale worth sharing. For the hungry and forgetful, there were finger foods and nametags spread out on a long table. It was time to get the all-weekend grad party started!

"Um... hi." That wasn't supposed to sound like a question.

"It's... good to see you." And that wasn't supposed to sound hesitant. But for some reason, Dominic seemed even more nervous than he usually was around the pink-haired girl who had him wrapped around her little finger.

Gulliver bumped up against Dominic's legs, burbbling his hellos, and Anemone shifted slightly. "Good to see you too," she murmured, giving him a quick -- nervous -- peck on the cheek before turning to Maria. "Hi, Maria."

"Anemone," Maria greeted, inclining her head slightly. "Nice to see you in such good spirits."

And not biting people or throwing tantrums at the lack of bribery so far. "Since the school didn't tell us not to come, I'm assuming you passed all your classes."

Dominic blushed but turned and leaned toward Anemone to catch her lips with his for just a moment. "I've missed you."

He grabbed his bag of candy and held it out. "I brought you something." His other hand stayed jammed in his pocket.

"Of course you did, idiot," she answered, giving him another kiss before taking the candy. "What did you bring me?"

The more things changed, some things remained the same.

"You mean the candy isn't enough?" Dominic asked with a fond grin.

Re: Arrival

"Nope. Did you bring me a shuttle of my own? I asked Jurgens for one for my birthday and he turned red, and fumed that I couldn't have one. I tried convincing him it was to make up for all the birthdays I never had, and he says when I figure out my REAL birthday, then I can talk to Holland about it." Anemone popped a candy into her mouth and made a face. "Which means 'never.'"

"No. No shuttle. Sorry." He wasn't trying to, but the way Dominic said that implied he had something.

"Dooooooooooooooooooominic...." Out came the pout. "Why not? I passed all the stupid flight certifications, for everything up to and including the Gekkostate LFO models, AND the simulated Devilfish run. I can handle a shuttle."

Re: Arrival

That was a really powerful pout. Dominic had to take a deep breath and steel himself to respond. "I know you can handle a shuttle. And anything else you want to fly. But shuttles are a bit out of my price range..." Especially considering what else he'd bought recently.
