BWI Portalocity Terminal [Saturday Morning]

[whitequeensfire.livejournal.com]

Emma had flown with Angelica from Logan Airport in Boston to Baltimore so she wouldn't have to make the entire trip alone, and Angelica was grateful for that. But after a hug goodbye when the time came for Emma's flight back to Massachusetts, Angelica was alone in the lounge, waiting for the bus to Fandom High. She buried her face in a book and tried not to be too nervous about changing schools, counting out the positives. She might make new friends. Empath and Roulette wouldn't be there. She might accidentally fry someone with her microwave powers.

Oooookay, that last one wasn't too positive.

"Man, I hate airlines," Sam grumbled as she dragged her busted up wheelie suitcase into the shuttle waiting area. "Should have gotten a lift from Freight Dog, again." She was possibly the only person in the history of ever to say such a thing. She plopped herself down on a clear spot of floor and pulled a fat cake from her suitcase, eying up the others in the waiting area as she unwrapped it.

Oh, hey, fat cakes! Well, that made it a little better!

"Hey," Topher said, leaning forward in Sam's direction. "Lemme get one?"

Look at that, he was being social!

Sam eyed him suspiciously, clutching her fat cake to her chest before a little voice -- that sounded suspiciously like Carly -- reminded her that she might want to actually try making friends. Also, that she possibly had more fat cakes packed than underwear.

"Yeah, okay. But just this once." She pulled another cake from her suitcase and offered it over. "Then you have to find your own."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[dollpocalypse]

"Could find my own," he said, accepting the proffered cake. "Buried under about a hundred wires in there." He jerked his head in the direction of his duffel.

Clearly not worth the effort, when he could have one handed to him.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[hurtingzeebo]

"You packed wires?" Sam said, a clear smirk in her voice. "Don't tell me, you're an AV club kinda guy."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[dollpocalypse]

"Guilty as charged."

He sized her up, overlooking the obvious smirky disdain. "And you're not." Then, a beat. "Not a cheerleader, either, which is at least a couple points."

"You wanted to parachute to school?" Freddie said incredulously from where he was playing with his PearPad.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[hurtingzeebo]

"You didn't?" Well, she had had to push him out of the plane the last time. "I coulda played with a possum again."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

Freddie shook his head. "You confuse me," he said. "Look, we're going to a new school, so we might as well make a pact now that we won't be mean to each other for at least a week, okay?"

Not that he was in danger of being mean to her, really.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam considered this. "What would I get out of that arrangement?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

"Steak?" Freddie said, not above bribery. "I will buy you a steak dinner. Just so I can get some friends before you can humiliate me in new and horrible ways."

"Freight Dog?" That didn't sound promising.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[hurtingzeebo]

"My best friend's brother's friend's uncle. He flies freight."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

"Makes sense," Mercy agreed. "You going to this fandom place too?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam sighed. "Yep. The judge apparently thought it'd be a 'good influence'."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[walkswithcoyote]

"Judge?" Mercy asked. "What did you do?"

Alex squinted at the girl's snack cake for a moment before asking, "Is that like a Twinkie?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam shrugged. "Dunno. What's a twinkie?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[godofxbox]

"It's like a sponge cake thing with cream filling that will survive the apocalypse. Not Apocalypse. He'd probably just eat them."

...what?

Alex was also pretty unfazed by this girl not knowing what a Twinkie was. Maybe she'd been raised in a hell dimension. That happened sometimes.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[hurtingzeebo]

"Oh him." Sam smirked, wondering if she was really supposed to know who this "Apocalypse" guy was. Maybe he had a web show. "Those sound like cheap knock-offs, man. Momma only eats the best."

Yeah, that wasn't even remotely true.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[godofxbox]

"Well, they're cheap, but I don't think they're knock-offs? I like Pop-Tarts better anyway," Alex admitted. Mmmmm delicious Pop-Tarts.

Marshall came up with a grin. "Hey!" he greeted, giving a little wave with the hand holding a pad of paper. "Doing a Starbucks run, if you want anything."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[hurtingzeebo]

Sam blinked. "What's a Starbucks? Also, does that mean you're buying?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[wheeler-360.livejournal.com]

That was another person who didn't know Starbucks. Who were these kids that Marshall was going to school with?

"It's. A coffee shop? Like, one on every corner? Started in Seattle, now exists in pretty much every city in the world?"

They could handle the question of who was buying when they figured out if she wanted anything.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[hurtingzeebo]

"Dude, I think I'd know if it started in Seattle," Sam said.
