[He picks up.]

Hey.

I'm doing that "I'm stupid" thing again, aren't I?

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

That would depend on if you actually want to go or not.

Beatrice is a murderer, a sociopath, and psychotic. She stole my birthday, and Tamaki is going to be there.

...you were really planning on asking me to this thing? Why?

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Because while they're having fun, I can give you a night of just what she said. Magic, tricks, fun, a little mayhem, and dancing.

I guess I didn't think it through. I'm sorry, Jinx.

[A long pause.]

Like... a date? Not just friends having fun. Like a real date.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Yes.

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

I-- [sigh]

I don't know if I'm ready for some things yet. And I can't promise I won't make a scene if Beatrice pulls something.

But this is probably one of the sweetest things anyone's ever tried to do for me. I'm sorry I ruined your surprise... so how about you ask me again?

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

I'm not trying to force you into anything. This is just a one-time thing for now. All I want to do is make your birthday special, since I can't take you out to Lion's Gate before your birthday.

Would you like to go with me to Beatrice's party, or would you prefer to do something else?

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

...I'll go. So long as you don't ditch me for someone else, and I get to dress myself up pretty and not get laughed at.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Why would I laugh at or ditch you?

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

[Right. Right. Riku isn't most boys. She needs to keep reminding herself that. Let's just skip over that...]

Are you picking me up or should I meet you there?

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

How about I pick you up with my new ride?

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

It had better be a car, because if this involves portals, I might puke on you.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

It's a motorcycle, actually.

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

It is cursed with a personality? Because I'd really rather not ruin my dress if it gets the nerve to crash us both into a wall. [Because her bike is a jerk like that.]

What time should I expect you?

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

It was actually stolen by someone else. We'll be absolutely fine.

Whatever time you want. The party's all night.

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

Riku! That's so... so... bad.

Well, I promised your little brother that he could take me out, too. Only during daylight hours. So pick me up right before siren.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

I try, sometimes.

Sure. I'll pick you up right around then.

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

It's a date.

...and you're dressing up, right?

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Of course.

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

And a mask!

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Geez, listen to you.

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

What?

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Nothing. I'm just glad you're excited, since it's your birthday.
