[ sitting on his scooter out in the parking lot of the building that he knows is alyssa's last class of the day, elbows braced against the handles as he waits. only checks the clock of his cellphone once when the stream of people appear, signaling the end of the hour. thinks about texting her, but manages to refrain, quietly waiting for a certain princess to appear. ]

[ nudges her shoulder with his gently. ]

Naked mole rat?

[ head tilts to the side, letting go of his hand as she takes her seat. ]

Why would you want to be one of those?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ also takes a seat, propping an elbow up to rest his chin against the palm. ]

Kim Possible likes him.

[ opens her mouth to say something once the decision hits her, but stops when a waitress comes up to ask what they'd like to drink. straightens again. ]

[ looks down at the table in thought, then decides to just nod a bit. ]

[prettymajor.livejournal.com]

But... I'm more hungry than tired. [ looks around. ] How does this work? I don't think I've ever had this before!

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

It's cool. [ looks behind him toward where people are dumping various food items into their bowl. ]

Half-buffet and grill.

[prettymajor.livejournal.com]

[ peers over at the people, standing up half-way to get a better look. ]

Ooooo!

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ glances at her. then back at the line-up of people with a nod. ]

When in doubt, follow the crowd.

[prettymajor.livejournal.com]

[ gets up instantly, tugging anthony's arm with an excited look on her face. ]

Then what are we waiting for? Come on!

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ drags his feet a little instinctively, giving her hand an pointed pat. ]

To get to the buffet, we must pass the Mongolian trial first.

[prettymajor.livejournal.com]

[ blinks, slowly loosening her hold on him. ]

Mongolian trial?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ nods toward their plates. ]

Rice paper massacre.

[ peers down at it. looks at anthony. looks back again. a long pause before: ]

Those aren't napkins?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head & starts unrolling his with exaggerated motions. ]

Mister Tony will teach you well.
