Happy Birthday (Jack)
Kalypso had a difficult time finding gifts for Jack for his birthday. She got him artist supplies of course, but outside of those she couldn't decide on what to get him. Jack never asked for much and never really pointed out things that he liked.

Instead of material items outside of the art supplies, Kal decided on spending the day with him and making it special. Though she was running out of places to take him. They had already been to the Blue Area of the Moon and Titan. It was getting difficult to find special places. Her mother had suggested a place and Kal knew it would be perfect.

She packed a picnic basket of Jack's favorite foods and basket in hand she went looking for him.

Jack would be found putting the finishing touches on a rendering of project he'd taken on, designing a playground for an empty lot. It wasn't what he intended to do with his professional life once school was done, but it was amazingly satisfying to create spaces for kids to play.

He looked up from the page when Kal entered the room and smiled. "You look like a woman on a mission."

	Kal returned the smile. "I am. My mission is to get you to come with me to celebrate your birthday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The easiest mission you ever had," he teased. "Where are we going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a surprise," she said as she shifted the basket to one hand and then held out her hand to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grasped her hand and squeezed it lightly. "Can you tell me if we're staying on the planet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	To any other person that may seem like a ridiculous question, but Kal could get to just about anywhere with a thought. They did have picnics on the moon and Saturn's moon Titan. "We are staying on the planet," she assured him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That still covered a lot of area. "Do I need a jacket? My sketchbook? Do I just scoop you up and off we go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A jacket may be wise," she said. "Unless you want me to keep you warm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-07-15 02:03 am UTC (link)
	"I'll take both options." He leaned in to give her a quick kiss. "I'll grab a jacket. Be right back to scoop you up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-07-15 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	Kal smiled and returned the kiss. "I'll be waiting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The jacket took a few minutes, and then he was back and as promised, had her up in his arms and twirled around. He didn't ask for much because he didn't need much. He had the perfect girl, a life he enjoyed, and a passion to pursue. "Take me away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled and kissed him. In the middle of the kiss she teleported the two of them to a spot in Siberia, not too far or too close to Polaria. The wind was cold despite it being the middle of summer and the ground was barely defrosted. There was a blanket already spread out on the ground and a wrapped present sitting int he middle of it.

	"You pick the most beautiful places," he breathed once the kiss was over and he saw their surroundings. The chill in the air during the summer was a clue they weren't in the US anymore, but they could've been far south or far north. "Where are we?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-07-17 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"Siberia," she said. "Not too far from Polaria. I brought you here to watch the light show." The sky wouldn't be black, but it'd be dark enough to see the Northern Lights. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-07-17 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	"I've always wanted to see the lights," Jack said, looking up as if they were going to appear at any second. He was already seeing the lights in his head as he'd translate them to sketch pad. He held her hand as he turned to see the sky from all angles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal squeezed his hand. "How about you open your present while I get the food out. We can eat and then lay back and watch the show." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-07-19 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	"All right." He grinned at the idea of unwrapping her, but it was too cold. He sat down on the blanket and obediently worked on the paper. "Let's see...it's bigger than a pencil and smaller than a tank. Whatever could it be...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-07-19 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	"If you wanted a tank you should have said something," she teased as she removed items from the basket. All of Jack's favorites of course. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-07-22 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	"You know how parking is in New York," he teased back. His favorite foods were just about anything minus the seasoning. His enhanced senses didn't let him enjoy a lot of different spices. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-07-23 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	"But with a tank you wouldn't have to worry about parking. You could just park on other cars." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-07-25 02:03 pm UTC (link)
	"And have all that yelling from the owners? You know how delicate my sensibilities are." He winked at her and opened the box. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-07-26 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	He'll find the box filled with the best art supplies for a bunch of different mediums. "As if New Yorkers need an excuse to yell?" Kal asked as she removed the lids of the containers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-07-29 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Have you been reading my mind?" he asked as he sorted through the box. "I've been meaning to pick up at least half this stuff." He looked up to grin at her. "You're the best, Kal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-07-29 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	"I haven't been reading your mind," she said. "I swear. I just know you that well." She returned the smile he gave her. Jack had a great smile and to know that she could make him smile was great. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2012-07-29 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	"You can see just how much that worries me." He leaned over to give her a thank you kiss. "You're pretty darn good at this gift giving deal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
