Game Night.
Kassi had helped Mac decide on a nice shirt, button deep blue, with nice dark jeans.

He showed up a few minutes early at the Baxter Building with their tickets and a small pot of Butterfly Ginger. He told the lady at the desk he was here to pick up Andrea.

	Andrea came down a few moments later, in nice jeans and a Knicks jersey. She smiled. "Mac," she said happily, "it is good to see you." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He smiles. "Good to see you, too, Andrea." He hands her the ginger flowers. "Thought you might like these. Don't eat anything, but the scent's interesting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She took the pot and sniffed, a bigger smile coming to her face. Her olfactory capabilities were not quite like those of humans, but they were very close. "They are wonderful, thank-you. I hope you have been well since I saw you last?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have. Things are great at the shop, and my little cousin and I have been watching each other's backs. I'm the lucky one, being done with high school." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am sorry to say I have not had the experience of high school," Andrea admitted, "but I am enjoying higher education." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Didn't have that much of it myself. A little school, a little tutoring, and then I got my GED and went to space. But good for you liking college. Mom and I've had some...pointed hint exchanges since I've gotten back. She liked college, but Mom's much more intellectual." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is not for everyone," she agreed. She set the plant down on Roberta's desk. "Roberta, if you will see that this gets taken to my room?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-11-21 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	And he nods and waits while she does that. "Ready to head out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-22 12:01 am UTC (link)
	She smiled. "I am." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-11-22 12:51 am UTC (link)
	"Then let's head out." And they do. "Seem to be running into the FF a lot lately," Mac says conversationally as they head towards Madison Square Garden. "Vincent came by my cousin's place the other day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-22 12:52 am UTC (link)
	"Oh?" she asked. "I hope that he behaved himself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, Kassi was obviously worried how that was gonna go, but there were vegan pastries, so we avoided a powderkeg moment. I don't mean to knock your team, but the Doom Brothers kind of have....issues, don't they?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-22 01:05 am UTC (link)
	"They do," Andrea admitted, "though I love them both dearly, both Vincent and Kristoff are quite full of issues, issues I am not certain will ever be fully resolved." "I am glad it went well," she added. "Vincent has a habit of making poor choices when it comes to rectifying his mistakes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-11-22 01:11 am UTC (link)
	Mac nods. "I guess every family has lots of unresolved things. Mine sure does. But yeah, Vincent seems like he's gotten a little better at being a sore loser since junior high, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-22 01:25 am UTC (link)
	"He has changed in many ways, even in the short years I have known him," Andrea replied. "But you must tell me of some of your space adventures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, sure. Um...howmuchdoyouknowaboutSnarkworld?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea called up the proper file from her database. "The Snarks, or Zn'rx, as they are properly known, have been the traditional enemies of the Kymellians, though they are presently enjoying a period of peace. Their current ruler is Emperor Bhadsha." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-11-22 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, good, I'm just glad you're not snickering. Well, Dad and I got called in a few months ago to help deal with a rogue faction that wanted to bring back the bad old days. Disarming a bio-energy disruption bomb is a heck of an adrenaline rush, I've gotta say." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-22 02:05 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "I imagine so. Seeing all those different worlds and people, it must be terribly exciting all the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-11-22 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Mac nods. "It sure was. Heck of an experience, but I'm really glad to be back on Earth. It probably sounds stupid, but the scariest part of the occasional 'oh god oh god we're all gonna die' moments was dying that far away from the family and the ocean and all that. I don't know; it got to me." Pause. Smile. "And Earth girls are prettier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-22 02:16 am UTC (link)
	"For what it is worth," Andrea told him, "I have felt much the same way when we have encountered trouble in the Negative Zone or the Microverse or the like." She grinned. "Flattery, Mister Rider, will get you everywhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A bit of a frisson from Mac. "The Negative Zone...totally don't envy you guys with that beat."

But it gives way to a just-slightly-sheepish smile at her reply. "Awesome."

And soon they're at Madison Square Garden, which is bustling. They still have a few minutes, though. Their tickets are pretty well located. "And will the lady be having burgers, pizza, or knishes?" Mac asks.

	"Pizza would be most delightful," she tells him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-11-22 02:31 am UTC (link)
	Mac will secure some pizza for both of them before the game begins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
