She's Like The Wind
Jai West is four minutes early, but doesn't know if Traya will consider that late. He's inherited his father's and great uncle's ability to be late, even though he's The Fastest Boy Alive.

His face is healed from the attack he suffered from an alien gorilla earlier this week. The rest of the team is okay, although it was strange to be kidnapped as part of a plot to bring Henry and Katima together (don't even get him started on that). He hopes that Henry and Katima have something real, but he's sure that's not going to tie itself up nice and pretty for everyone involved.

He's wearing some of the new clothes that Iris helped him pick out: black shirt, blue jeans and black boots as he waits for her to arrive at the mall. Jai's even decided to come to Traya's town to keep nosy little sisters (re: Iris) from tagging along for updates.

He takes a deep breath and resists the urge to run home and change for the third time.

	"Meterology? That is awesome. Maybe next time someone asks you to move the clouds, there actually be a reason for it." he smiles. "If you've got time next week, I can stop by and we can work on some stuff." he says. The waitress comes back with their drinks, and he orders egg rolls, fried rice and orange chicken.

	"Oh yeah," Traya said. "I figure, who understand weather better than me? And it's math-tastic." Traya ordered much the same, only subbing in teriyaki chicken for the orange chicken. "Sounds good. I don't have any big plans coming up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That works. Then we'll hang out next week." he grins. "You mind if I try some of the teriyaki chicken?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh sure," she replied. "You mind if I try some of the orange?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jai picks up a piece of orange chicken with his chop-sticks and extends his arm to feed it to Traya if she'll accept it. "I hear that Clash is supposed to be pretty good." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Traya leaned forward a little to accept the bite. "Mmm. That is good." She nodded. "I'm really excited to see it. The original was the first movie my parents saw together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No way. That's awesome! My mom loves the movie, but she says my Dad always falls asleep on it. Maybe our parents aren't really spying on us; they're just using it as an excuse to see the updated version." Jai jokes.

He makes a face after takes a bit of the chicken.

"Oh, look. You kind of got something on your lip. Right there." he says, a slight gesture at her lower lip.

	"Yeah, even Dad liked it, and he hardly likes any movies." Traya giggled at Jai's joke. She wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Did I get it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now or never, West. "Wait, you got--oh no. You missed a spot. Let me." he says, leaning in. Jai kisses Traya gently on the lips, smiling for a moment. Then he sits back down, and quickly snatches up a piece of teriyaki chicken with his chopsticks. "My plan worked." he grins, popping the chicken in his mouth. "The teriyaki chicken is mine."

	Well. That was... nice. Really nice. And she'd walked right into it. And she'd do it again in a heart beat. "Good plan," she said, smiling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My plans always work sometimes." he says, taking up an eggroll next. The dopey grin on his face does not vanish and Jai feels just little more confident about today. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Traya's grin is pretty darn big too. "Dunno for sure about that one, though. Might have to practice it to make sure it's good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were saying I couldn't pull that off again, Traya. I mean, my math was correct before. I don't see why it couldn't be again." Jai says. "But, if you'd like to do the calculations yourself, you can see what result you come up with." he smirks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tiny_tornado 2010-04-05 01:49 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yes," Traya replied. "I think I'm going to have to check your... math." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-04-05 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"Well, make sure you get all your calculations right. In fact, I'll give you until the movie starts." Jai says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I don't know if it will take me that long... But I might just want to double check." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, part of science is running lots of tests, so feel free to check your ideas as many times as you want. It'll be good practice for meteorology." he says, finishing his eggrolls.

He takes a sip of his drink and smiles. They could really miss the movie for all he cared. He was enjoying just talking with her. But, this was a date, and he planned to show her a good time.

	"You're right," Traya replied, leaning forward. Suddenly, there was a small breeze, which should have been just enough to push Jai forward a little. Right into a kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jai was all smiles as Traya leaned forward, and the small breeze that pushed their lips together would have made the grin bigger, had his lips not been otherwise occupied.

Such as they were, Jai West is a very happy young man right now. This time, he lets Traya decide when to break the kiss.

He does, however, file all of this data away for his own further experiments.

	Traya let it go a little longer this time, before eventually breaking. "See what I mean about meteorology? Freak windstorm like that? Where's it come from?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-04-05 03:40 am UTC (link)
	"It certainly was hot in here before that freak wind blew in here. No, wait. It was just you. Still is." he smiles. "But I think strange gales appearing from nowhere ought to be investigated. Good thing we're on the job." he nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Traya blushed at the compliment. "You are, like, the sweetest guy ever, you know that?" "An unbeatable team," she said. "That's us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-04-05 04:28 am UTC (link)
	"Well, if you think so, then I'm good with knowing that." he grins. "We're an unbeatable team that's got about 45 minutes before the movie starts." he says. "Hey, I'll take care of this. Do you want popcorn at the theater?" he asks, getting ready to pay the bill for the food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tiny_tornado 2010-04-05 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Hmm. Might have to find something to do with all that time then," Traya giggled. "Popcorn'd be great, yes please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dareyoutorun 2010-04-05 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, I can think of something, Traya. It involves calculations." Jai grins. "Popcorn it is." he says, leaving a moment to settle the bill. Once that's done, he comes back and offers Traya his hand. "Where to, pretty lady?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
