Okay, so recaps. First, the party

I'm downtown, aimless poking around in alleyways, looking for stuff. Metal stuff, mostly--it's amazing what you can find just lying around near the dumpsters. Rusted bicycle chains, old licence plates, random keys, nuts and bolts. I've got this vague idea for a project I want to do when we get to sculpture, and for now, anything I find might be useful.

I step out of the alley, my hands full of odd things, and start walking down the block to the next alleyway. I see Jenny coming toward me, and raise a hand to wave to her, fogetting that I'm holding a piece of automobile tailpipe at the moment. "Hey, Jenny!" I say, as she approaches.

As Tim approaches my lips slide into a little smirk, and I raise an eyebrow towards him. "What's with all the metaly stuff?" I ask, leaning against the wall to my right.

[tim_brennan]

"Uh...future sculpture, maybe," I say, shoving the tailpipe into my backpack. It clanks against other stuff in there. "Just doing a little trash scavenging. Where are you off to?" I empty the smaller bits out of my other hand and zip the pack.

I like artists. Specially cute ones. "Mmm, I dunno, but you're coming with." I say, grinning and lightly grabbing his hand as I start to pull him along in the direction I was heading to. Which is the park, now that I think about it. "That is if you don't mind, Timmy." I continue, still holding onto his hand even if he does.

I sit in the swing next to her; my feet drag in the dust underneath it. "I was thinking he didn't seem like the type who'd take sharing the spotlight too well," I say. I watch her in the dusk. Light from the street is hitting her features in interesting ways, and I wish I had my sketchbook with me.

[jenny_mcevans]

I shake my head and laugh a little to myself. "No, he's really not..." I say, before noticing he's either staring way off into space or he's focusing on me. "You like to stare at girls often then?" I ask, still giggling a little.

[tim_brennan]

I blush slightly. "Guess it depends on the girl, " I say, sheepishly. "You look really...uh, the light's hitting you in a really cool way right now," I add. Right after I say it I realize she'd probably rather hear I think she's really cute. There's probably a good reason I've never done all that well with girls.

[jenny_mcevans]

Hehe, Timmy's blushing. I remove my hands from their grip on the chains and wring them together in my lap instead. I turn my head to glance at the streetlight. "So it is," I say with a smirk. "I didn't notice. That's what I get for not being a cool artist, huh?"

[tim_brennan]

"Okay, you asked for it," I say, a teasing tone in my voice. I catch the edge of the seat and push hard. As a kid I always wondered if you'd fly all the way around the bar if you got going high enough.

[jenny_mcevans]

I scream, but not in a frightened way. It's exhilirating being that far up. After a couple swings back and forth I launch myself off of the swing and jump back onto the dirt, thankfully landing on my feet. I turn around to look back at him, still laughing from the thrill of it all. "I feel like a little kid."

[tim_brennan]

"Whoa! Nice move!" I exclaim, clapping, impressed by her landing. "Fun, isn't it?" I walk over to her. "Want a spin on the merry-go-round next? Or should we head somewhere else?"

[jenny_mcevans]

I think about that, deciding to grab his hand again and lead him somewhere different. "I want to show you something." I say, gently pulling him along. There's a spot not too far from here, and I grin when we get closer to it. I can hear the water already. I lead him down a little pathway to a small wooden bridge that hangs above a creek. It's a very pretty spot, even at night when everything's glowy in the moonlight. "I come here sometimes, it's calming I think."

[tim_brennan]

I grin. "Of course. It's not safe for little girls to be out by themselves after dark, you know," I reply, amused that she asked this time. Then I add, "I'm glad I ran into you--I wasn't expecting company tonight." I pick up my backpack and the junk in it clanks until i get it slung over my back.

[jenny_mcevans]

I laugh at his first remark. "Well I'm glad I could provide company," I tell him, waiting until the backpack's over his shoulders before almost automatically lacing our fingers. We start to move off of the bridge back onto the pathway of the park.

[tim_brennan]

"Really nice company," I amend, nudging her arm with mine and glancing around into the shadows to make sure we're still alone. Seems quiet enough tonight. "So any idea when the band's going to be playing somewhere I can come and see you?" I ask.

[jenny_mcevans]

I shrug, swinging our hands just a little. "Not sure, maybe the Bronze again or if we're hired for another party like at that fraternity. You gonna be my male groupie?" I say, giggling at the thought.
