Chaos and the science of a broken motorcycle. (Lysi)
It had been entirely an impulse purchase, but it was the exact same bike she'd had back home. The damn serial number had even been the same and maybe that is what had sent MC over the edge. It didn't matter that it needed work; it was hers.

Except...while she could get the bike running, the baby blue 1979 Harley Davidson Sportster had some structural issues. Namely...it wouldn't drive straight and MC wasn't entirely certain how to fix that and she didn't have a whole lot of resources that took a petite redhead seriously. Not here. There was only one person she could think of.

Half an hour later, she'd tracked down Lysi and pulled up (or rather skidded dangerously up) to her curb.

	Was she ready to go careening through traffic as though they were being chased by winged monkeys? No, not really, but Lysi did seem solid and safe... "Sure." She said and attempted a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lysi settles the bags of parts in the limited cargo area, then kicks a leg over, letting MC get herself settled in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Climbing on, MC again carefully wraps her arms around Lysi (trying not to accidentally grab boob) and presses close. "Okay. I'm good." She rests her face against Lysi's back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lysi notes how carefully the girl adjusts her grip, tilting her head back. "Thanks for not distracting the driver, you can get grabby back at the workshop, if you want." she teases gently, then, less gently, peels out of the shop lot and into traffic again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	MC sputters something about not being a grabby sort but it's lost to the noise of the ride back...though when they do arrive MC is beet red and clearly flustered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The pulling up is a little quicker and easier than in the lot, and there's no kiss this time, but Lysi is clearly still amused. "That's a pretty shade of pink on you. How far down does it go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	particlegirl 2011-06-13 01:02 am UTC (link)
	"Probably all the way to my toes," she says softly and a little embararssedly. "Feels like it does at least." She picks up a bag and starts towards the workshop. "You seem to be really good at making me turn red." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thunderstruck 2011-06-13 01:27 am UTC (link)
	"I'd love to check to make sure for you." she comments, piling it on while she's at it. She grabs the rest of the parts and heads for the workshop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Today was proving to be a very surreal day. MC sighs. "I have a feeling I'm going to be really red-faced a lot, then." She carefully starts unpacking the bags. "But...you're not a bitch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thunderstruck 2011-06-13 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"Sure I am." Lysi replies with a laugh. "People tell me I am all the time, they can't all be wrong." she adds, amusedly, before settling in with her tools and the new parts. "And either you'll get used to it, or eventually I'll have to find out how far down the red goes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Maybe the people who are telling you this don't understand the difference between true bitchiness and forthrightness." MC grabs Lysi another Coke and sits it beside her before getting up the supplies to start in with the oil change of Lysi's bike.

This includes a pink work shirt that she puts on over her clothes.

"It'll probably be the latter before the former; I never get used to being teased so it's blush city."

	"Fine by me, its cute." Lysi replies, still largely amused by the conversation in general. "And could be, either way, doesn't bother me none." She takes another drink from the Coke, apparently having decided she likes it, then sets to getting the struts back in place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	MC works on Lysi's bike quietly for a bit, breaking her quiet only to yelp once when she pinches her finger. It doesn't take her long to do that before she's up and cleaning up. "So. When did you want to go on the date thing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

By the time MC has the engine work done, Lysi has the frame all put together. Its still a skeleton of a bike, with all the paneling and decoration laid out on the side, but its coming together.

"Any time you want. I ain't exactly got any dress up clothes, so if we're doing dinner, might as well try and make a date of it, far as I'm concerned. Or if you like something more fancy for your dates, we can hit the steak house tonight, and you can tell me when our first date is."

	"Let's do the steak house tonight. I don't require fancy, but I...kinda want to do that first." Might as well jump in with both feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What time you want to get together?" She wondered if she'd have enough time to totally get herself put together, makeup-hair-the-works. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, before you showed up, my plans were 'drink beer, maybe go to a bar and drink beer, see if there's a baseball or hockey game on or something. So... pretty free. What time works for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	particlegirl 2011-06-14 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I need about an hour and a half if you want me to look cute," she offered honestly. "I have to figure out what to wear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thunderstruck 2011-06-15 12:04 am UTC (link)
	"You already look cute, but I'm looking forward to seeing you all dolled up. It'll take me most of that to finish working here, then I can wash up. Say, meet here in two hours then, and I'll finish your bike." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	particlegirl 2011-06-15 12:37 am UTC (link)
	"Sounds like a good plan. I like this plan." She was blushing a bit again. "I'll go get ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thunderstruck 2011-06-15 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"Ok, cutie, you do that." Should MC turn to leave, she'll get a playful swat on the ass - and, why, yes, Lysi's hands are greasy, so said theoretical swat would leave a handprint on her butt. It'll wash, once she notices it. "See you in two hours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
