Mini Golf (minus the destruction of Manors)

Vlad looks into the mouth of the dragon and steels himself for the confrontation. He'd fought bigger opponents before, this would be nothing. No dragon would come between him and his goal.

Taking a moment to aim, with a mighty swing he lets his shot fly straight into the beast's mouth. And out the other side, where it sped past the hole and bounced against one boundary, then another and another until it finally lost momentum and came to a stop.

As far from the hole as it could be it seems.

"..." Yeah, he'd put way too much power into it again.

	"Remember," he says, wagging his club at her, "if it comes down within 6 months of me coming back I'm a bad luck charm. And I think I should get icecream as consolation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait chuckled. "You'll get ice cream. It's just a matter of whether or not you're buying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well I have a few holes left to catch up," he smiles although he knows that's unlikely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They continue through the rest of the holes, Vlad showing some improvement at least while laughing at his classic terrible shots, until they're at the last hole. His score wasn't too bad but it would still be a very impressive come-from-behind win if he managed to beat her. "Few more shots and I'm going to be one icecream down," he laughs.

	Cait smiled and kissed his cheek. "For good luck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shoots her a slightly shy smile, "Thanks, now to see if it works." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait stood and leaned on her putter while she watched. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Happy place, Happy place, Happy place," he jokes before carefully lining up the shot. He does actually take his time and a few deep breaths before taking the swing. The small ball flies straight over the hill in front of the hole and manages to land not that far off from the hole. "Yes! Your good luck works Cait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I may be in trouble and buying ice cream," Cait said. She lined up for her shot and the ball stopped father away than Vlad's did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He realizes that if he's going to win he'd probably need to get it in on this shot. But the ball decides to just barely miss the hole. "Well darn," he smiles good-naturedly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait had to get this in on this shot to secure the victory. She lined up her shot and the ball rolled toward the hole and stopped a few inches short. "By Dis." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Light taps he tells himself. Gentle as can be. The ball ever so slowly rolls towards the hole and stops at the edge. "Oh come on ball!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-07-29 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	The ball may have been pushed a little to fall into the hole. It was very humid. "Not a bad shot," Cait smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-07-29 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Huh, I thought it stopped. Guess I didn't see, humidity can be distracting," Vlad says, looking at her with a knowing smile. He walks up to her and gives her a quick kiss on the cheek. "There, you can have the rest of my good luck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-07-29 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	Cait's cheeks turned red. "Thanks." She took her shot and the ball went right into the hole. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vlad cheers at the shot and offers her a high five. "Nice!" He continues in a TV commentator's voice, "A stunning finish to the mini golf championships of the year, now for the prizes..." He rests the club over his shoulders and tilts his head towards the booth with the clubs. "Let's return the clubs then ice cream is on me," he smiles and offers an arm.

	_tsunami_ 2012-07-29 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	Cait returned the high five and she handed him her club. "You return the clubs while I tally up the scores." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-07-29 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Deal." He takes the clubs and balls and goes off to return them. After a few minutes he comes back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait added up the scores while he was returning the putters. "Want to know the verdict?" she asked when he returned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hit me," he laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"One stroke. You lost by one stroke." Cait smiled. "Now you owe me ice cream." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-07-29 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Seriously? So close! Didn't think I'd give you any competition," he laughs. "C'mon I owe you icecream and you owe me some snow with it if I recall." He offers her an arm and is already deciding what icecream to get. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-07-29 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	She took the offered arm. "I did promise you some snow." As soon as the words left her mouth snow started to fall on them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-07-29 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	He seems to brighten up even more at the snow and tries to nab a few flakes with his tongue. "You do hold up your end. Now for mine, what's your favourite ice cream flavour?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
