[ seems to puff out her chest a little bit as she waltzes right out her bedroom door. ]

Of course! You have nothing to fear, darling.

[ shuffles out after her as quietly as he could, jumping at little shadows as he keeps his eyes peeled for any strange movement. ]

[ looks over her shoulder and reaches out for his hand as they go along, hoping that'll relieve at least some of his fears. ]

[ takes her hand gratefully, squeezing it until they finally reach their destination of the front door. is the first one to shuffle outside, dragging her along toward where his scooter had been parked. ]

Our noble steed.

[ makes some "ooo" and "ahhh"ing sounds as she glances at it from all sides. ]

How fancy!

[ hands her his helmet. ]

I call her Tinkerbell.

[ takes it gingerly, placing it on her head. ]

She is quite lovely.

[ settles down while he goes ahead with his ritual attempts to get it to start. ]

She needs to go on a diet.

[ also settles behind him to wait this out, pulling out her cellphone to type up a text message. ]

Really? Why's that?

[ keeps at it. ]

A fuel efficient Tinkerbell is a nice Tinkerbell.

Ohh...

[ is too distracted to properly reply, still punching in things here and there. ]

[ makes a relieved 'whoosh' sound when the scooter finally starts making its putt putt putt sounds. cranes his head back toward her. ]

Welcome to the Tony Scooter Service. Please remember keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.

[ perks up when the scooter finally starts, quickly pressing send on her phone before shoving it back into her purse. wraps her arms around anthony's middle, pressing herself up against him. ]

Will I get fined by the Tony Scooter Service if I don't?

[ makes himself comfortable & then guides the scooter to round its way out of the driveway slowly. ]

Nah. We just won't reimburse anything.

[ rubs her face into his back. ]

Aw, phooey.

[ doesn't respond for a while, concentrating on turning the right corners & looking for the correct streets. it's only when they stop at a red light that he finally speaks again. ]

Third star to the right, straight in til morning, right?

[ had been too busy enjoying the ride and thus blinks in surprise at his comment, picking herself back up instantly with a laugh. ]

Right!

[ smiles a little to himself though he does not answer in lieu of making the scooter move forward again. fifteen more minutes of weaving in & out of traffic brings them to their destination at last. looks at the number of cars already parked in the designated area & makes a small face, picking a little corner near a tree to settle his beloved scooter into a stop. the vibrations & the noise of putt putt putt does not stop until a few more seconds afterward.

after once again going through the motions of wrestling his scooter into a complete halt, he straightens to stretch his back. ]

Thank you for riding with Tony Scooter Services. Don't forget to remember that this is not really Neverland and you cannot fly.

[ takes off the helmet and shakes out her hair, leaning back to cling onto that with a tiny smile on her face. ]

Thank you for the warning.

[ & then she lets her eyes wander around to survey the area and the people gathering. suddenly feels a nervous twitch in the pit of her stomach, groping around and missing anthony's hand a few times with one of her own before latching onto it in silence. ]

[ takes her hand automatically without thought. blinks when he thinks he detects something like nervousness in the hold, glancing at her in concern. ]

Lyssa?

[ breathes in, breathes out; turns to look at him again, giving a tiny nudge with her shoulder when she hears the worry in his voice. ]

I'm okay.

[ doesn't seem entirely convinced, but lets it go while returning the nudge. ]

Drinks first?

[ perks up with his nudge, nodding enthusiastically. ]

Yes please!

[ returns her smile for the sole purpose of helping to quell her nervousness even more. gives her hand another squeeze & starts leading them through the smaller crowds into the main gathering, searching for one of the many refreshment tables that he knows will be available. keeps their hands attached through their trek, giving her hand squeezes once in a while to make his presence part of the forefront of her mind. ]

[ looks around and then down at her feet as they go along, feeling self-conscious for reasons not quite known to even herself. tugs at her skirt and messes with her hair every now and then, attempting to keep herself as busy as the crowds of people around them. when her eyes spot the refreshment table she stops their trek suddenly, tugging on anthony's hand a bit so that they're standing closer to one of the walls. ]

Um. I'll go get our drinks! You wait here, okay?
