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?

...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.

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

[She's also excited that she's been asked to a dance by a boy she likes, but that's not the point.]

Well, it's nice to finally do something for my birthday that doesn't involve breaking the law. Then I always have to spend the next day locked inside while the SWAT teams try to storm my house. Maybe this time I can, you know, wake up happy the next morning.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

What, it's never like those scenarios when you're sitting there and you say, "Well, that was fun"?

voice;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

It was a lot better when I was younger and thought fending off smoke bombs was the bee's knees.

Evil's just not at the top of my list anymore. Plus, the cops here are probably superpowered, too. If I set one on fire, they'd probably dish it back.

How long ago was that? Two years ago?

I'd have thought that'd be a challenge for you. But that's dangerous, yeah.
