Rory was on the couch with her laptop, totally not sleeping.

It might have looked like she was nodding a little, but she totally wasn't.

Veronica laughed. "That sounds like a very Jake thing to do," she said. "How's he doing?"

"He's a girl at the moment, and he doesn't understand why his father is opposed to weetiny bikinis. And Alex isn't dead of being eaten by sharks, so that's always a plus," Rory told her.

"Not getting eaten by sharks is a definite plus," Veronica agreed. "And I can't imagine why Jake's dad is unhappy about weetiny bikinis. I know my dad never had a problem with them." Why yes, Veronica's eyes were rolling so hard, they might be in danger of falling out.

"My actual dad's not around enough to, but Luke's certainly never objected to anything I've ever worn," Rory agreed. "That's so out of character for fathers to act that way."

"It really is," Veronica said.

She chuckled. "You wanna get Luke good sometime? Or your dad, if you feel like being really mean? When they ask how a date was, tell them 'lousy conversation but the sex was fantastic.' It's so fun to watch their eyes pop out."

Rory grinned. "That way lies chastity belts and threats to boyfriends," she said, laughing.

"My dad wasn't amused either, but he got over it," Veronica said.

"Luke once threw my boyfriend out of his diner because we broke up for a little while," Rory explained. "And he never forgave him even when we were back together and all happy. Making Luke's eyes bug out might be funny, though."

"I never told my dad I was dating Logan again," Veronica admitted. "When we broke up last summer, my dad kicked Logan out of our apartment. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have understood why we were back together."

Rory nodded. "Luke didn't get it when Dean and I were back together either. I swear, I think he just wants to pick my boyfriends for me."

"But of course, I'm sure he would never find anyone that was good enough for you," Veronica said.

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

"Oh no, never," Rory said, rolling her eyes again. "He means well, though, just like I'm sure your dad does."

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica nodded. "Yes, most definitely means well. And, to give my dad credit, he actually likes Archie."

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Who wouldn't? Archie's like, the ultimate bring-home-to-parents guy," Rory said with a grin. "You guys are cute, by the way."

"Thanks," Veronica said. "We're actually getting out of town for the weekend," she added. "After last week, we decided we need a break."

"Oh, where are you headed?" Rory asked curiously. "I'm out of here on a trip of my own starting Saturday morning."

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

"We're just going to DC," Veronica said. "Do a little sightseeing. And we have tickets to see RENT on Saturday. Where are you headed?"

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"New York," Rory told her. "And we're seeing Spamalot on Saturday night. What a coincidence."

"I've heard that soundtrack," Veronica said. "You should have a good time."

She wondered who the 'we' was.

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nodded. "Mostly I just need to decompress. Been a long couple of weeks."

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah," Veronica agreed. "That's exactly how we feel."

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"And it'll be nice to get out of town to do so. Plus hotels are fun."

Rory didn't mention the main reason that getting away from everyone who knew them was a good idea, thankfully. She'd been working on her sneakiness and all.

"That they are," Veronica said. "Are you guys driving or flying?" she asked.

Re: Get Your Assignment/Volunteer for Something

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Driving. Though with my car, either one's an option," Rory said thoughtfully.

Veronica raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
