My Date With The Little Mermaid
Movie tickets? Check.

Dressed semi-nicely? Check.

Flowers? ...kind of.

Mason straightened himself up and knocked on the door to Marrina's room. His First Date ever; hopefully it wouldn't be a total wreck. Jordie had given him pretty good advice after all, and he always seemed to do alright with the ladies back home.

	Eventually, the movie was over. Marrina stretched as she she stood. "Pretty good, huh?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mason grins and nods cheerfully as he gathers up his garbage, cracking his neck from side to side. "Definitely worth the tickets. I'm glad they haven't totally given up on old style animation. I mean, I loved Toy Story and Wall-E, but..." He pauses, wondering if he shouldn't have said that, but then continues anyway "...but old animation just has that feeling that takes you back to getting up early on Saturday morning."

Like you were doing two months ago Mason.

Shut up!

	"You know what?" Marrina asked. "That makes a lot of sense, actually. That probably is part of the reason why it works." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason smiles, delighted. The pretty girl thought he made sense! "Yeah... pretty cool how it just works out." The credits are finishing as they finish chatting, and he gets up, offering his hand to her to help her up as well, garbage scooped up with his other one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina took the hand, even though she didn't need it, appreciating the gesture. "Ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason smiles and nods, escorting her out into the lobby again. As they get there, he fishes his phone out of his pocket to switch it back on. No sooner does the icon change from silent to normal than Ode To Joy (sung by Beaker) starts playing. He blushes and laughs nervously. "Ehheheh... one sec." He steps a few yards away and answers it. "Hello?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey midget, good timing. Look, there's no rush. You two have a good time. When you get back though, there's someone here that needs to talk to all of us. He'll keep though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason furrows his brow. "What's going on bro?" He quiets his voice. "Has the man sent someone to make us start goose-stepping like good little soldiers?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The department has sent a new Vindicator with actual field experience to lead the team. The Lieutenant isn't a Nazi, so don't get too worked up. Just get back here when you're done." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...kay. In other news, the date's going really good so far." He grins. "I'll give you the details later. Later." He waits for Jordie to hang up, just in case there's anything else about the government. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	strongbox 2009-12-15 12:42 am UTC (link)
	"Glad to hear it, you two enjoy yourselves. Don't get in too much trouble." he replies before hanging up. They can worry about Bryan later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina have Mason a curious glance upon his return. "What's up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2009-12-15 12:49 am UTC (link)
	"Apparently we have a Lieutenant of some sort now. Jordie says not to worry about it and stay out as long as we want." He fidgets a little, both because now they've got the 'responsibility' card hanging over them, and also because he's not sure what the new guy is like. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Figures," she said, shaking her head. "From what my dad said, and what the others said, Department H loves to have its little oversight on Alphas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mason nods. "Dad just always told me to stick with Jordie and we'd manage whatever happens. Not like either of us is easy to put in a cage anyway." He pauses. "But that's really negative thinking and borderline paranoid... so, moving on then." He clears his throat, then bites his lip.

"Okay, honestly speaking... that news is kind of a buzz-kill, even as nice as this whole date is, so... how about a leisurely stroll around the mall, then we head back?" He smiles hopefully. "You can tell me some stuff about yourself."

	"Sounds good," she replied, as they started walking. "Uh, let's see... My full name's Marrina McKenzie. Marrina, after my mother, and Mckenzie, which was my birth-father's last name. But I never knew my parents. I was raised by my birth mother's adopted brother and his wife, and think of them as my parents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2009-12-15 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Mason nods. "My middle name's Roger, after Jordie's birth dad. He and my old man were best buds when they were in Alpha Flight. Mom said she was ready to name me after Mel's mom if I was a girl, because she and Dad both got along with her so well. Kinda weird, considering she kidnapped him the first time they met." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2009-12-15 01:20 am UTC (link)
	She giggled at that. "My birth mother was in Alpha Flight too, the original Marrina. My father... is supposed to be Namor, but I don't even think he knows about me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mason blinks. "That king who flies around in a speedo and used to beat up Reed Richards because he was jealous of his marriage? That's... interesti-- Oh my gosh!!" He exclaimed, before composing himself as people were staring.

He started grinning, even giggling slightly, before calming down and looking very pleased with himself. "This means I have a date with not just a pretty girl, but a princess." He smiles at her.

	Marrina rolled her dark eyes. "If you want to get technical, I guess I am," she said. "But really, I'm just some girl from Newfoundland who just happens to be aquatic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2009-12-15 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Mason smiles at her. "I'd have called you a princess anyway." He pauses. "Good compliment, or too much?" They continue walking along, as he resists the urge to run up to the window of the pet-shop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good compliment," she assured him. "So what do you..." she struggled to find the right word, "...do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2009-12-15 01:45 am UTC (link)
	Mason grins. "Dirt-biking, rock climbing, and working in the garage with Dad or Jordie. Help Mom cook sometimes. Past year or two I've been spending a lot of time studying chemistry. Plus the usual mix of tv and video games as anyone else I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not exactly what she was asking, but informative all the same. "'s cool," she said. "I swim, mostly. Little sailing. And I like musicals." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2009-12-15 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Cool. Kitchener's only about an hour or so from the Lake, so we'd go there a lot in the summer." He smiles at the bit about musicals. "Let me know if there's anything coming out you'd like to see or rent." He moves to take her hand, giving it a squeeze once he has it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
