xp_logs | Sugar Overload warning... (Reply)

Reading Kitty/Jamie logs can induce sudden diabetic shock. You have been warned.

Jamie and Kitty have agreed to meet down by the door, where Alison will pick them up to take them to a 4 o'clock showing. Alison is waiting n full chauffeur attire and with the limo idling in front of the door...

x_crowdofone: Jamie is extremely nervous, and five minutes early. :-)
x_crowdofone: *Jamie bursts out the front door in his one good pair of slacks and a button-down denim shirt. He freezes at the sight of the limo and goes a little wild-eyed.*

x_dazzler: *Alison grins at him cheekily, raising one hand to lift to raise the cap she is wearing, completing her chauffeur's ensemble* Mr. Madrox, your limousine awaits. *she bows slightly, laughing internally at his expression*

x_crowdofone: . . . That's a limo. I'm not dressed for a limo. I don't own clothes for a limo. I'm not late, am I?

x_dazzler: *chuckles* You're early. You're dressed fine. *she winks* I'm the one who is supposed to be wearing the suit here, not you.

x_crowdofone: Yeah, but I'm . . . I'm not Limo Guy. The last time I was in a car with a refrigerator in it it was Uncle Harvey's Winnebago. And I was nine.

x_dazzler: First time for everything, Jamie. *smiles reassuringly* Besides look at it this way - bottom line is, it's a car. Gets you from point A to point B, just like any other car... and it was that or a sportscar, and I don't think you want to be in a sportscar with me driving. *looks innocent*

x_crowdofone: Well . . . yeah. *grin* I'm nervous enough. *checks watch, visibly resists running fingers through his hair* What if she doesn't show up?

x_dazzler: *pats shoulder* She'll show. Maybe a bit late, but nothing unusual there. I promise.

x_crowdofone: Okay. I'm just . . . I never did this before. And I don't want to do anything stupid. And I keep wondering if I already have.

x_dazzler: You'll do fine, Jamie. Just be yourself. *she grins, and points over her shoulder to the limo* I'll take care of the transport. *she pauses, and looks innocent* Stocked the fridge with soda pop and threw in some chocolate chip cookies in there. Think that'll do it?

x_crowdofone: Ought to, yeah. Although I don't think I need the extra sugar. *grin* Been running around most of the day. I had a list.

x_dazzler: *nods approvingly* See? You're doing fine. Lists are very wise in such instances. *solemn look*

x_crowdofone: The list was Mom's suggestion. I e-mailed her last night for help. She was pretty excited to hear about it.

x_dazzler: *smiles, thinking on how long it's been since she's contacted her own mother* She must have been pleased as punch, I'll bet. Can I ask what you're planning for the afternoon?

x_crowdofone: Well, we've got the movie, and . . . after that I thought if Kitty was hungry we could go to that ice cream place Ms. Frost took us to after temple, because it was really good. Does that sound all right?

x_dazzler: *ponders* You wouldn't happen to have the address of the place, would you? I can get you there as long as I have that. *nods firmly and grins*

x_crowdofone: That was on the list. I wrote it down . . . *furious search through pockets* Aha! On this piece of paper that I didn't lose. *hands it over*

x_dazzler: *takes the piece of paper, scans it to memorize address in case, then tucks it securely away in a pocket* I know where that is. *starts putting on white chauffeur's gloves, and pats down neatly tailored suit* Sounds like you've got a good plan there. *smiles*

x_kitten: *Kitty comes quickly down the stairs, hurrying because she'd had to redo her make up twice before she was satisfied with it. She's wearing a pale blue sleeveless sundress with her hair falling loose around her shoulders*
x_kitten: "I'm really sorry I'm la…" *Kitty spots the car, and Alison her her full regailia and stops quickly, blushing* "Alison!" *she sounds really flustered*

x_dazzler: *grins impishly once more, looking exactly as she did when Jamie first showed up, but lets Jamie speak up first*

x_crowdofone: Yeah, I . . . *trails off as Kitty comes into view, barely remembers to close his mouth* Wow.

x_kitten: *still blushing she turns to Jamie* um... I'm sorry I'm late. *she says again*

x_dazzler: *discreetly backs up towards the limo, out of sight*

x_crowdofone: Um. No problem. Really. Um. You look . . . great. Really great.

x_kitten: *the blush gets even deeper* Thanks. You do too. *Kitty smiles at him*

x_crowdofone: It's just the same pants I was wearing last week. Different shirt though. Um. *ears go red* So I guess we're going in a limo.

x_kitten: *is reminded and turns to half glare at Alison* Alison!

x_dazzler: *looks up, with wide eyed innocence* Yes, Ms Pryde? *has adopted a British accent, just because*

x_kitten: *the glare gets more severe* You're trying to ... You... *trails off, still looking all flustered*

x_crowdofone: . . . She's trying to do an impression of Dr. Essex?
x_dazzler: *almost swats Jamie, but remembers not to do that* Honestly, young sir. *opens the door to the limo with a flourish*

x_kitten: *blinks, then looks back at Jamie, and quickly calms down*
x_kitten: *shruging she asks* Shall we?

x_dazzler: *grins and winks at Kitty when she turns back, then looks serious again*

x_crowdofone: Sure. Um . . . after you. *gestures awkwardly to the door*

x_kitten: *she turns to get in the car and catches Alison's wink. Wrinkling her nose at the outfit she quietly plots revenge, and climbs into the limo*

x_crowdofone: *climbs in after and sits self-consciously next to Kitty* It's, um, a nice car anyway. I probably would've worn a tie if I'd known about it though.

x_dazzler: *closes the door gently shut, then walks towards the front of the car, pausing to inspect the hood. With a raised eyebrow she whips out a handkerchief and wipes at an imaginary spec of dust on the hood, before nodding in satisfaction, and then heading for the drivers door*

x_kitten: It is a nice car, and if I'd known about it I'd have told her not to...
x_kitten: *under her breath* blasted Alison trying to embarass me...

x_crowdofone: I think she was probably trying to embarrass both of us. You've got nothing to be embarrassed about.

x_kitten: *looks over at this* Well, you certainly don't.
x_kitten: *then blushes again*

x_dazzler: *starts the limousine and starts driving her way out of the School's main driveway slowly, making sure that the window between the chauffeur and passenger area is well closed, whistling cheerfully*

x_crowdofone: Well, if you think so, I guess I don't need the tie. *ears pretty much perpetually red throughout* Um, Ms. Blaire said there was soda and cookies, if you wanted something.
x_crowdofone: And then after the movie I thought we could go to that ice cream place from last week. If you wanted to.

x_kitten: That sounds lovely, sure. And I'd love a cookie.

x_crowdofone: *hunts through the various compartments in the back of the limo* Oh, okay, here they are. *grabs two cookies*. They're just regular chocolate chip.

x_kitten: Oh, so they won't be as good as yours. *she smiles*

x_crowdofone: Well, maybe not. *grin* I'm glad you liked them.

x_kitten: I do, I do. You're a very good cookie cook.

x_crowdofone: Well, yours were really good at the barbecue, too.

x_kitten: Thank you.
x_kitten: Sometime I'll make you real food. I do excellent pancakes

x_crowdofone: That'd be great. *grin* I love pancakes.

x_kitten: *grins back* Good to hear. Never trust a man who doesn't like pancakes... sign of a distrubed mind.

x_crowdofone: Nah, I'm disturbed for other reasons.
x_crowdofone: . . . You really do look nice, I wasn't just saying that because it's the thing you say.

x_kitten: *she blushes again, brightly* Thank you. I think you do too... really.

x_crowdofone: *ears go red* Um. Thanks. . . . So it should be a really good movie, the previews have been really funny. I liked the one with the angler fish, with the glowy light?

x_kitten: Oh, I saw that one. It looked... scary. *her nose wrinkles slightly*
x_kitten: But I think it'll be a great movie.
x_kitten: I love pixar animation...

x_crowdofone: Oh, me too. I crack up every time I see Dr. McCoy's user images.

x_kitten: *grins and nods* Oh absoltuely. And it's totally him. He's such a sweetie...

x_crowdofone: Yeah, he's really nice, even if I don't understand half the stuff he says. I like watching you guys talk though.

x_kitten: He does talk... a lot. *her grin widens* The next time he starts being confusing, tell him "avoid obfusction"

x_crowdofone: Heh. I do know that one. But I don't mind being confused, you two get really into it and it's fun.

x_kitten: Well that's good. Always glad to be amusing.
x_kitten: Sometimes I forget there are other people around when we start talking shop...

x_crowdofone: I don't mind. You go all . . . sparkly, sort of. *blushes* Which sounds dumb.

x_kitten: I do? *she blushes a little bit* I don't think it sounds dumb at all...

x_crowdofone: Yeah, you do. You get really into it and it's like I can see your brain working. Like the whole universe is a jigsaw puzzle and you just figured out a whole section of it.

x_kitten: Oh... *blushes even more*

x_crowdofone: So, you know, I just thought I should say.

x_kitten: Thanks. I... I do like trying to figure out the world. Sometimes I think I go overboard.

x_crowdofone: No way. You really like it and you're _good_ at it, there's nothing overboard about that.

x_kitten: Thank you. It's ... it's reasurring to have you say that.

x_crowdofone: Well, I'll say it again any time you want. I think you're going to do really cool things someday. I mean--you know, famous things.

x_kitten: I'd really like to... but I've always had people telling me I was just a little weird... or sometimes a lot weird. Having someone around who thinks that maybe the weird's a good things is... nice. *she smiles sweetly at him*

x_crowdofone: Normal is boring. *grin* And you're never boring.

x_kitten: Thank you. And you're certainly never boring. I guess we're a matched set

x_crowdofone: Yeah, I guess. *laughs* And Mom was worried I wouldn't make friends.

x_kitten: I don't think I can imagine you not making friends... It'd be like Jono not being sarcastic.
x_kitten: There might be times that it happens, but it's decidedly rare

x_crowdofone: Well, I hadn't been around people for a while. I know what you mean, though. I wonder how Paige is doing, trying to make friends with him.

x_kitten: I hope she hasn't bitten off more than she can chew. I think it'd be good for him to have a friend, but... I don't know if he'll let her do it.

x_crowdofone: Well, if anybody can, I think she's stubborn enough. Hey, have you gone riding yet? We could do that sometime if you wanted.

x_kitten: No, I haven't yet. I'd like that, I think, although I'm not so sure about this whole horse thing...

x_crowdofone: They're really nice, I'm sure you'll get along great. The trick is to bring them treats, they're suckers for their stomachs.

x_kitten: But they're so tall...

x_crowdofone: Yeah, but it's not _that_ easy to fall off, and you could probably phase . . . well, maybe that wouldn't work. But I'm sure you'd be okay.

x_kitten: It's not that I'm afraid of hights. It's just... hights that move are kind of scary. Especially when they move on their own...

x_crowdofone: When you tell them to. It's not like you get on and they just take off, they're trained better than that.

x_kitten: Well that's reasuring. I'll definitely give it a shot.

x_crowdofone: Great! *snicker* Well, that was a lot easier than Sam trying to convince Ms. Blaire. *eyes the partition*

x_kitten: Yes well, I'm always easier than Ms. Blair.

x_crowdofone: She's pretty stubborn, yeah. Really nice, though. Embarrassing cars or not.

x_kitten: Oh, yes. I must find some way to seek revenge for the limo...

x_dazzler: *the limo slows down as they arrive in front of the mall, causing more than a few heads to turn and stare* *with a stern expression, Alison steps out of the limo, pausing only to tug at her jacket slightly to make sure it's in place, before walking to open the back door on Kitty's side first, bowing as Kitty steps out*

x_crowdofone: *mutters as he follows Kitty out of the car* Everybody's staring, and the celebrity's the one who's driving. Too weird.

x_kitten: *nods at Jamie* Yeah, very weird...
x_kitten: *smiles up at Alison, pretending inocnence* Thank you Jeeves. Do make it back by the end of the show, won't you?

x_crowdofone: *grin* I can understand staring at you, mind.

x_kitten: *blushes as she hears Jamie's comment, which rather spoils thee effect*

x_dazzler: *bows with dignity, a gleam of approval in her eyes* Yes, miss. *waits until they make it in the mall, then turns and drives the limousine into the parking lot to wait*

x_kitten: So then, shall we? *she turns to look at Jamie, mastering her blush and reaching out for his hand*

x_crowdofone: Absolutely. *takes her hand with only a slightly silly grin* I got the tickets off the Internet this afternoon, so we don't even have to wait in line.

x_kitten: Excellent. *she smiles as they head in* Were the cookies enough, or do you want popcorn or something?

x_crowdofone: I've got enough for popcorn if you want some, but I don't think I want my fingers to get sticky.

x_kitten: No, I'm ok. Was mostly if you wanted it...

x_crowdofone: Well, d'you want something to drink then? Or we could split a couple bags of M&Ms or something. Or we could just wait for the ice cream, whatever you want to do.

x_kitten: If you wanted M&Ms I'd steal some, but I'm probably ok to wait too.

x_crowdofone: It's only stealing if they aren't offered. *grin* But I think I'd rather wait for later. And besides, we don't want to miss the good seats.

x_kitten: This is a good point. C'mon then... *She tugs at his hand, pulling him towards the theater*

x_crowdofone: *follows, grinning*

x_kitten: So where do you normally sit in a theater? Back, front, middle? Aisle or Wall?

x_crowdofone: I like the middle of the row, sort of toward the front. Where there's a nice view but it's not right there, you know? What ahout you?

x_kitten: Sounds good. I tend for the aisle in the front middle, but I'm happy anywhere.

x_crowdofone: We can do the aisle, that's fine. *grin* I just don't like being too far off to the side, it makes the screen look cockeyed.

x_kitten: Oh agreed. Sitting by the wall messes it all up.

x_crowdofone: *leads Kitty down the aisle* How about here?

x_kitten: This looks good, yes.

the previews start as they take their seats

In the hallway by their rooms, near the stairs...

x_crowdofone: *Jamie stops at the top of the stairs, smiling shyly at Kitty* So . . . I had a really good time tonight. We should do it again, I mean, if you want to.

x_kitten: Oh I do! I mean, yeah, I had a lot of fun. We should. *she smiles back*

x_crowdofone: I guess we should say good night, though, since we're back, and, you know, our rooms are right over there. *tries putting his hands in his pockets, takes them back out*

x_kitten: Yeah, I guess... *she bites at her lip, and tucks her hair behind her ears*

x_crowdofone: So, um, good night, then. *Jamie takes a deep breath, looks at Kitty uncertainly for a moment, then bends down to kiss her, barely avoiding bumping noses.*

x_kitten: *Kitty lets her eyes fall closed, lifting her face slightly to meet him*

x_crowdofone: *Jamie pulls back after a longish moment, ears fire-engine red, smiling hopefully* Um. Good night.

x_kitten: *blushing brightly, and practically glowing* Good night Jamie... I'll see you tomorrow.

x_crowdofone: Yeah. *grins* Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. And we can figure out about the pancakes, and . . . things.

x_kitten: Yeah. *she nods, biting at her lip again* and I'll tell you whatever Lorna says about her weird math problem... *she grins*

x_crowdofone: Okay. *grin* I think . . . I actually think maybe we just figured it out. But maybe she meant something else, I don't know.

x_kitten: Really? I still don't get it... but I'll talk to her, and tell you and then you can tell me if you were right, ok? *her eyes are shining as she continues smiling*

x_crowdofone: Yeah, definitely. We could go for a walk out on the grounds? I'll make sandwiches.

x_kitten: *she nods* That'd be nice.

x_crowdofone: We'll do that, then. *he nods, still grinning* Come find me in the morning and we'll decide what kind of sandwiches. *turns to go, then pauses, turns back* I'm really glad I came here. And met you. *Jamie disappears into his room before he says anything _really_ dumb*

x_kitten: 'Kay... *she manages before he disappears* I'm really glad too, *she says quietly before turning and heading back to her room. She makes it inside before she bounces onto her bed and starts squeeing into her pillow*
