Movies!

[special_weapon]

The Media room is empty for the moment, but she wouldn't be surprised if anyone else showed up. As long as she gets a spot on the couch with Henry she doesn't mind. Ashley turns on the TV and flips to the On Demand movie listings. "Anything in particular you want to watch? Also, should we make popcorn?" she asks Henry over her shoulder

Comments

[haptechie]

He stands by the door, looking at the list of movies flashing on the screen. He's pretty certain he won't really be paying attention to any of them tonight anyway. "Whatever you want, I'm game for. And that's yes on the popcorn. I'll go pop some in. Want a drink?"

[special_weapon]

"Coke or Dr. Pepper, please."

Ashley ponders if she wants to watch something awesomely bad, or something amusing that would be good for background. She's not entirely sure she'll pay attention. She finally decides on Sherlock Holmes for the amusement.

[haptechie]

Henry makes quick work of the popcorn and snags a couple cans of Dr. Pepper from the fridge before making his way back to the entertainment room. So far, still just him and Ashley.

Awesome.

"Popcorn and a pop, as requested." He settles himself into the corner of the couch as Sherlock takes out a hapless thug in slow motion.

[special_weapon]

Ashley settles herself next to him on the couch and tucks her legs up under her. She's not cuddling, really. she just wants to be close enough to get some of the popcorn before Henry eats it all.

"Have you had the misfortune of seeing this with Mom in the room yet?" she nods at the screen.

[special_weapon]

Ashley replays the awesome bits in her head as she falls asleep. Eventually.
The next morning she wakes and wanders down to breakfast, happy with the world and, okay maybe she needs to turn down the sunshive and butterflies.

"Morning," she says to her Mother who's reading a paper over her morning tea.

"Morning to you as well," her mother says, arching a brow at her over the paper. "I see we have two new residents."

Ashley winced. "Surprise?"

[haptechie]

Henry woke up feeling absolutely wonderful. The sun was shining, the birds were singing... okay, maybe that was a bit too Disney of a start to the day.

He still couldn't help whistling as he got dressed and made his way to the kitchen; his stomach his first priority.

He heard Helen mention the trolls to Ashley and groaned. He'd forgotten to write up the report. "Hey doc," he said as he walked in. "The trolls were definitely my bad. It was a bit of a rough bag and I blanked on the write up."

He went over to the cupboard and pulled down a box of cereal. Mm.. frosted goodness.

[special_weapon]

"Ashley sent me a brief report. A very brief report," she says, arching an eyebrow Ashley's way.

"I'll write a longer one," she promises over her shoulder. She's trying to hunt down the OJ and can't find it.

"Why were you out hunting trolls anyway?" Her mother asks, folding her paper neatly by her plate.

[haptechie]

Pulling out two bowls, since it looks like Ashley hasn't eaten yet either, he sets them down on the counter. Pouring his frosted goodness into one, he waggles the box in a question at Ashley.

"That was me, doc. I'd gotten some tags on missing pets and thought I'd give it a look-see. Ashley came with. Good thing, too, since there were two of them."

[haptechie]

"You'll probably dish out more teasing than you get, knowing you." Feeling relieved, he flicked his eyes down to her lips.

What was with this sudden obsession with wanting to kiss her? He'd been around her most of his life and had managed until now. And now... oh boy.

[special_weapon]

"Maybe." She shrugged a shoulder then reached for her coke. She took a swig then set it down again. "You?" she asked. "Here's a hint; Mom's not gonna kill you."

[haptechie]

"Hey, I'm cool with anything. I'm not afraid to admit though, I'm not exactly looking forward to your dad finding out. Other than that, I'm great."

Why wouldn't tomorrow get here faster so it could be date time. Date time meant more touching. More touching led to more kissing. More kissing led to...

This was ridiculous. He was not a teenager.

[special_weapon]

Ashley closed her eyes, groaning. "Him." She scowled into the distance. "He's got no say in my life at all. Neither does mom, for that matter."

(brb 20)

[haptechie]

He just smiles and wiggles further into the seat. "Bring it."

(oooh. I like that idea. You'll have to post pics.)

[special_weapon]

She attacks without warning, going for his sides with tickling fingers.

(ooc: also Holy Shit Japan O.o)

[haptechie]

Yelping, he makes to grab for her fingers, trying to hold them away from his sides while still keeping his seat. He will be victorious in this battle.

(ooc - ... O_o. What about Japan?)

[special_weapon]

She's wearing a feral grin as she digs into his sides and quickly moves on, trying to get him to move enough she can grab the remote.

(check uhh CNN is what I am watching. Dunno what's up in canada. BBC likely has it too. 8.8 Mag Earthquake. Tsunami warnings on the whole pacific rim.)

[haptechie]

He smirked as he hit the gas, also eager to get to the field. This was a bit like a hunting trip with Ashley as the prize and his wolf was completely behind that idea.

They arrived before 5. Henry killed the engine and gave her a look. "So what, if any, are the rules for this match?"

[special_weapon]

Ashley shrugs. "First to five hits? A timed match? I Don't care." she lets out a long breath. "Maybe we should chew up one of the local teams?" She played for keeps normally and right now? well, now she just wanted to unload some stress."

[haptechie]

"Timed match." Henry said quickly. His other side was gearing up for the chance to track Ashley down and make its claim. It was hard to argue with it when he sort of felt the same.

"We can do another round and take out the teams after, if you're still up for it."

[special_weapon]

Her eyes narrowed and she gave him a sharp look. She mimed picking up something. "I think you just dropped this gauntlet." She gave him a feral grin and hopped out of the passenger seat so she could open up the back and get their equipment.
