Summer Picnic, Main Campfire, Friday afternoon

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

At lunchtime, the campfire area was set up with blankets, baskets, picnic tables, food, and ant problems. The groundskeeper who brought the ants was later sent home for the rest of the day. It turned out that he didn't really like picnics.

[OOC: I suck and completely forgot about this. Sorry about the relative lateness. It's a sunny and fairly comfortable day. I MOD WEATHER! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!]

"Zombie weekend," Anakin replied shortly. "Coffee can be scary."

"I've used coffee as a weapon in all the major battles. And I used it as a restorative," she said proudly. "It's scary to zombies and snow and Jello, maybe."

Anakin gave a laugh that didn't quite meet his eyes. "True."

"Are you okay?" she asked softly.

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Anakin said.

He was quiet for a moment. "What do you remember about the yearbook food?"

"I thought I was Paris and knocked Logan out with the barrel of a shotgun because he thought he was his father," Rory replied immediately. "It turned us into our worst enemies...."

She trailed off. "You never did tell me what you thought you were."

"A Sith," Anakin replied, very quiet.

"So yeah, coffee wasn't as appealing for a while."

"...and it's my fault," Rory said softly. "I'm so sorry."

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"It's not your fault," Anakin said. "It wasn't anyone's fault. It just happened."

He bit his lip. "It's just not something I like to remember."

Re: The Blankets

"I don't blame you. And it's my fault. I do yearbook. I'min charge of their funraisers. That whole thing was my fault." Rory plucked at the blanket. "Anyway. Apropos of nothing, did you know me-as-Paris can fire a gun?"

Anakin reached over and gave Rory's hand a squeeze, his eyes saying everything he couldn't verbalize in public. "I didn't know that," he said. "Bet you were quite a badass."

"I totally was," she said with a small smile. "I mean, I knocked Logan out."

Re: The Blankets

"If he thought he was Aaron, he totally deserved it," Anakin said.

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"He was being gross. That's the only time I've met Aaron, even kind of," Rory said, making a face. "Logan had quite the goose egg from it. I felt bad."

"I don't," Anakin said, smiling.

"You should've heard the lecture I got from Obi-Wan after that weekend was over. It lasted forever."

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Obviously not, since you're talking to me now and he's not here lecturing," Rory said.

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Okay, maybe not literally forever, but he actually called to talk to me. It lasted for hours."

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You have a penchant for exaggeration, you know."

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Do I?" Anakin asked, grinning.

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Little bit," Rory said, holding up her thumb and forefinger. "Anyway. What are your plans for the rest of the day?"

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin flipped back onto his back and covered his eyes with his arm. "You're looking at them," he said. "Oh. How was Bucky?"

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Small and adorable. Angela and Marty are going to be great parents some day," Rory said with conviction, rolling onto her stomach beside him. "I've never seen someone as good with a baby as Marty was, aside from people who actually are parents."

Re: The Blankets

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Huh," Anakin said. "Somehow I can kind of see that."

Re: The Blankets

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I got pictures," Rory said, grinning. "I should take pictures of you with Bucky sometime, since you two're adorable, too."

Re: The Blankets

"I'm not so sure about the adorable part," Anakin muttered, "but you can take pictures."
