Strip had a cell system installed a while back, but he still preferred the pay phone at Flo's for its relative privacy. He was not the sort who liked to go around blatting his private business in front of the world. And, true to his prediction, Lynda was NOT going to stay back from this one! Even before the call ended, she was calling out to Amity and Raul and their kids to mind the zoo until she got back. He sighed and settled on his tires. Lynda was taking the next available flight to Arizona, and driving from there. Now, ALL of his family would be axle-deep in this.
Cesare saw the lights of a small town ahead, and the light of a drive-in screen. He was surprised that such a place was still inhabited, much less open for business. The grey Maserati 3200 GT wasn't here for any of that, though. His clients had given him their orders. He would carry them out soon enough.
Mike did not dice words. "OK, just who is it who's after you?"
Sonya and Huracan went on to the movies. They'd be a little late, but better late than never.

Pause. "Yeah, she would," Fabrizio replied, not taking his eyes off the spectacle for a moment more. It was nice to just stop and admire something one so often overlooked once and a while.
Glancing sideways at Rosa, he temporarily switched the subject: "You really didn't want to go to the drive-in, huh?"

(((((OOC: Maybe I should bring Sapphire back for this thing about Amber too. They are sisters...)))))
"I'm glad I did," smiled Slick, then whispered, "Happy Birthday, Kamui."
~~~~~~~~~~
"Right, now if only there was some rope laying around here so we could tie him up," said Petra.
~~~~~~~~~~
Amber had a sort of detached manner about her as she worked in the clinic. She was barely aware that her behavior was making not only her father, boyfriend, as well as the rest of her family worried about her.
She was going to be surprised, however, when her mother arrives in town.
~~~~~~~~~~
Rosa shook her front, "Not really. It's still the memories that keep me from going there. And they were not good ones."

"I don't blame you, then," Fabrizio replied, looking back up at the dark navy azure above. He tilted his hood slightly as a particular group of stars stood out from the others. In that unstudied way, he thought he recognized one of the more common constellations, but couldn't recall the name. "All the suspense and being on-edge over some fictitious plot - I'd say this place as had more than enough of that for real in the last couple weeks, don't you think?"

<<< Yeah, that WOULD bring Sapphire back. >>>
Strip returned to the side of General Lee. "She's on her way. Told you so, didn't I?"
Ondine came over to see who Mike was talking to. "Why don't you come over and talk to us about it?"
Atsuko and Elizabeth watched Amber go about her business with barely veiled concern. It was going to take a lot more than them to straighten her out. A LOT more.

Kamui completely relaxed. She smiled.
"Thanks..." said Kamui.
So this is what it's really like to be in love and to have someone love you back....
(OOC: So are we agreed to speeding up movie night a little bit?)

Jet stretched and yawned. He was calling it a night.
He looked back where Phoenix was sitting. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of Phoenix and Boost.
He nodded to Boost before he shifted into gear and headed for his cone.

(((((OOC: Alright, I'm gonna bring Sapphire back. And also, I think we should speed up the movie night.)))))
"Yes, it is," agreed Rosa, "and that is quite enough for me. I don't need any more."
~~~~~~~~~~
"Yah, ya did," nodded General Lee as Strip came back to the clinic.
~~~~~~~~~~
At the word 'prank', Petra grinned, "Sweet."
~~~~~~~~~~
Slick continued to enjoy Kamui's closeness while the movies played on in the drive-in.
~~~~~~~~~~
Boost saw Jet leave, but didn't say anything to Phoenix just yet. He continued to snuggle with her as they watched the movies.

((I don't mind it getting sped up.))
"Hear, hear," the Vector said, glancing at his companion with a definate I'M-WITH-YOU-ON-THAT expression. He continued to stargaze a little more, flinching only when some beetlebug zipped by out of nowhere to hover by the nearest neon light.
Great. Even harmless insects flying by were making him jump.

<<< No objections here>>>
Marisol checked on Shawn, and noted that he was ensconced in the alleyway outside her studio. His exposing himself to the outdoors and the hard pavement worried her a bit, but it was his business. She drew her nose back inside and checked on the foxdog. The animal had quieted down considerably now that his cage was covered on top and on all but one side. Now and then, she could hear him scratching at his cage or whimpering. The cage had a solid bottom, but no bedding, and she would have to move him to larger quarters at some point.

When the movies drew to a close, Kamui nudged Slick.
"Wanna head to my trailer? Remember my offer?" said Kamui with a grin.
(OOC: Sped up. Now we're at the end of them so everyone's been free'd up.)

"Alroight, we'll tal'k mor' tommorah mornin', Petrah an' figur' out whot ta tie 'em ta," said Otter grinning.
Things weren't looking good for Shroder at all with these two fix-wings around.

"Not at all," smiled Slick, "let's go."
~~~~~~~~~~
"Are ya tired?" Boost asked Phoenix.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Tomorrow," Petra nodded, "Right."
Hopefully, none of the helos would stop us from doing a little prank like that, Petra thought.
~~~~~~~~~~
"At least it was a quiet night tonight," said Rosa.
She saw vehicles filing back from the drive-in, "I think Movie Night's over."

"Yeah." Phoenix said with a tired smile. "Just a bit."

Kamui nudged Slick and led him to her trailer.
"It's a bit messy and I'm sorry about that, but it's what I call 'home' for a huge chunk of the year," said Kamui.
She opened up the trailer door and let down the ramp. She went up the ramp, turned around and made a motion with her annetna welcoming Slick in.

Then a thought occured to Otter.
"Wait. We still 'ave dhoez 'eloz ta sne'k pass'd ta get ba'k, 'gain!" said Otter as she stopped grinning.
