CES was a BIG deal every year, but this year it was even a bigger deal for Anya. Stark Inc's computer division had a booth as usual, but right next to it Renaissance Tech had a booth. Anya was showing off the new operating system her company developed and hoped to get it some attention. So far it was working. People were interested and liked what they saw.

The best part about CES, outside the really cool electronic toys of course, was that it took place in Vegas. Vegas was one of her favorite places, even though she wasn't old enough to gamble. It wasn't about the gambling. It was about the lights, the shows, the people and the food. Of course the shopping was important too. Anya wasn't one to pass up a trip to Vegas.

It was a busy week for Anya and Sunny. There were lunches and dinners with industry leaders and a few celebrities that happened to be in town. Now it was Friday and the show was over and the weekend had started. A weekend in Vegas to relax was just what she needed. Along with her boyfriend. She had contacted Buck earlier in the week to see if he could make it out this weekend and was happy that he could. She had spent the week praying to whatever deity would answer that things would be quiet so Buck could make it out.

There was enough time after her last meeting of the day and the time Buck got here for a quick nap. It had been a long week. She hit the pillow and was asleep in no time.

	"Naw. I'll let you claim the credit for that one." There was a car waiting for them at the main entrance. "Thank you, Brian," she said to the driver who had opened the door for them. Anya made it a point to know the names of the people who did things for her and worked for her. She climbed into the backseat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Buck climbs in with her, thanking the driver as well before climbing into the back after his girlfriend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya snuggled up next to him. "We will be taking the jet home," she informed him. "I'm not flying commercial, even first class." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't blame you a bit. You fly commercial, the paparazzi will find a way to get into the next seat. Long as there's a private plane going anyway, I'm fine with going along that way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Speaking of private time," she started. "Are you going to be okay being in the public eye more? It kind of comes with dating me and now that we're going to be exclusive.... I understand if you're not okay with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're worth it. Besides, its not like I've made a big deal of staying private, or have family in need of protecting from the spotlight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And you're allowed to hit the bad guys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know," she said. "If we were allowed to hit the paparazzi they wouldn't be so bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't say that. You said you only had two responses, and we can't hit them, so that leaves one choice. If we're going to mess with the paparazzi, we should go in with an evil plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2013-01-15 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	"It'd still be more fun to shoot them," she said. There were moments when she was her mother's daughter. "But this idea of an evil plan does have merit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
