School Auditorium: MSND rehearsal (4-7 PM FHT)

There are snacks and assorted beverages on a table to the side, and the house lights are up.

The stage lighting is still a little beyond Rory, so the simple overhead fluorescents will have to do for the day.

And by the door, there's a sign-in sheet.

Actors? Your stage awaits.

This line of conversation was making Veronica distinctly uncomfortable given recent circumstances.

"Yeah, well, he invited you into his house before it collapsed," she pointed out. "So I'd say that if you want to buy him a present, it won't be too awkward. Did you get the email I sent about the surprise party on Friday?"

[this time with the right login!]

"No, haven't had a chance to check my Blackberry yet," Angel said. "Which is a shame 'cause I'm kind of hungry. I take it the party's for Logan?"

Veronica didn't even to attempt to translate that out of Angel-speak.

"Yes, the party is for Logan. It's a surprise. But here's what I was hoping you could help me with," she said. "Tomorrow is his actual birthday. Now, I usually work Thursdays but I arranged to take tomorrow night off and I want to surprise him with a... more, um, private celebration," she said, flushing slightly. "You know, a romantic dinner type thing. In his room. But I need someone to keep him out of the room between like 5 and 6 tomorrow so I can set everything up."

It suddenly occurred to Veronica that asking the guy she used to have a crush on to help her set up a romantic dinner for her boyfriend was quite possibly too awkward.

If Angel felt any of that awkardness, it didn't show on his face. If anything, he looked thrilled to be asked. "Yeah. Sure. That'd be great. I could ask him to stop by when I see him in class tomorrow. Just from 5 to 6?"

"Yeah, I ordered dinner from Cafe Fina and it's going to be ready at 5, so I'll need to get in his room after that to get ready," she said with a smile. "It would be a huge help for me not to have to worry about him getting back too soon."

"Veronica, I'd love to," Angel said. He grinned. "I'm good at being sneaky. He'll never know what's really going on."

She grinned back. "Thank you so much, Angel. And I hope you and Cal can make it on Friday. It's going to be a joint party for Logan and Jake."

"...are you sure Jake and I should be at the same place at the same time?"

"Why not?" she asked, confused.

"'cause he hates me for kissing his boyfriend and then ruined my clothes!"

Yes, Angel was still pouty about this.

Veronica blinked. Then managed to put together a bunch of random facts in her head. She was, however, unsuccessful at holding in her giggles.

"Maybe you should buy him a nice birthday present," she suggested through her laughter.

"For ruining my clothes?"

"For kissing his boyfriend," she clarified.

She tilted her head and looked at him thoughtfully. "Do you make it a habit to kiss other people's boyfriends?"

"Once! It happened once!" Angel protested. "Besides, Cal asked me to."

Veronica considered this and probably blushed at the thought that crossed her mind.

"Okay, so, tomorrow, you'll make sure Logan's not in his room between five and six?" she asked.

[and i totally misspelled six...]

"Promise," Angel said, totally unable to read her mind and also unaware that right now that was probably a good thing. "I'll do my best to make the party too. The UK trip's leaving on Saturday and I'll need to pack. But, you know, Logan. Oh, hey - can I ask a favor for a favor?"

"Of course," she said. "What can I do for you?"

"Can you keep an eye on Sean while I'm out of town?" Angel asked. "Normally I'd leave him with John but with Aeryn home I think he's got his hands full."

"Not a problem at all," she said. "And if I end up going out of town for some reason, I can get my friend Weevil to look after him. He and Backup can have a playdate."

[V might be going to CA with Piper... but we haven't worked out details yet.]

"Sounds perfect," Angel said. "Thanks."

"Anytime," she said.

"Well, I have to go ~~because I'm in too many threads and I need to recap for radio~~, but I'll see you in ACJ tomorrow. Thanks again."

"No problem," Angel said. "See you tomorrow."
