The Perk, 6/3, Saturday Evening (After 5:30)

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

Tempe, dressed in a long flowing skirt and a black top, made her way into The Perk for her date with Paige.

After ordering a cinnamon latte, she made her way to a table and sat down with her notebook. She was planning to work on her novel while she waited for Paige, but spent most of the time looking daydreamy instead.

Paige orbed ina little late looking worried, she'd had to change after detention because it had been more active than she'd expected.

Looked around she grinned when she saw Tempe and ran over, "sorry I'm so late, there was dodgeball and I had to shower and change and detention finished late, have you been waiting long?" she asked biting her lip nervously.

Tempe grinned when she saw Paige.

"Don't worry, I haven't been here that long," Tempe replied. "Besides, you're worth waiting for."

"Dodgeball? In detention? That's something I haven't heard before."

Paige bit her lip again at the compliments, she really wasn't used to them, and some how coming from another woman it meant more.

"Thank you," she said sitting down opposite her, "cos I'd have been gutted if you'd left."

"Yeah detention here isn't like other places, last time I had it we had to watch 80s movies and cover stuff in glitter, it was pretty fun actually." she explained.

Tempe watched Paige bite her lip. She hoped she wasn't going to end up scaring her away. I would have stayed here all night for you, Tempe thought to herself, but didn't say it allowed.

"I wonder if there's some psychological reasoning behind their choices for detentions here. To me, 80s movies and glitter sound like fun, but I'm sure that somebody at this school has nightmares at the very thought."

Paige smirked as she looked over the menu, "Yeah some one with a fear of Molly Ringwald would probably have hated it, but I'm with you it's was totally cool!" she said looking up at her.

Tempe giggled.

"I guess today's was supposed to be psychological torture for those who have nightmares about being pelted by dodgeballs," she replied, also perusing the menu, having already finished her cinnamon latte.

"I can't wait to see what next week's will be. Not that I'm going to try and get detention or anything." Unless of course you do, in which case I'll assault someone with glitter to get detention as well.

Tempe shook her head. Where had that thought come from?

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"It was about teamwork actually, since when we were working alone we weren't really getting anywhere, luckly my orbing helped out there though, we got a couple of people out before I was hit." she explained.

"Yeah detention's okay but I can think of better ways to spend a Saturday," like maybe hanging out with incredibly cool and open minded people "and I don't generally get it, well not her at least!" she said with a slightly wicked smile.

"Nice," Tempe replied, grinning. "I'd hate for it to be all about the ball-pelting."

"So can I," Tempe said. "Just like this."

She smiled warmly, a faint blush creeping over her cheeks. She wasn't used to being so open with her affection.

Paige smiled, "pretty much my thought actually," she admitted putting down the menu, "I should probably go order, do you want anything? They do sandwiches and muffins and stuff, if you're hungry"

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

"Just a blueberry muffin," Tempe replied. "And thank you."

She tapped her foot nervously under the table.

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"No problem," she assured her heading to the counter and ordering herself a peach smoothie and a chocolate muffin before heading back with the items.

She put the muffin down in front of Tempe, "so been up to anything interesting while I've been locked away?" she asked tilting her head slightly to look at her.

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

"Not really," Tempe replied. "I spent most of the day reading. Except for the part I spent napping. And working on my scrapbook for Arts & Crafts."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Biting into her muffin Paige smiled, but then it hadn't actually left her face so she was still smiling really.

"What are you reading, or was it something anthropological that I won't understand?" she asked in a slightly amused tone.

"and sleep's good, a little hard in the cabins though."

Tearing off a piece of the muffin and chewing it thoughtfully, Tempe spoke. "A mystery. It's about a woman who travels through time and solves murders along the way. I picked it up at the library the other day, but wasn't sure it would actually be any good. Turns out it was."

"Yes, especially if you fall asleep in the middle of the common room couch, sitting up."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"Sounds interesting, I like the idea of time travel, my ex was from the 14th century, I'd kinda like to think I'll get to see him again sometime." she said, "not that here and now isn't good too!" she added quickly

[fatalvoyage.livejournal.com]

"No, I completely agree," Tempe said. "I'm from 12 years ago, and there is that little part of me that wishes I could go back and see some of the people I knew."

"...before I remember that I don't want to see any of those people again." Her tone may have been bitter, but it was only because of the memories.

"Of course, I wouldn't mind travelling to other time periods too. Maybe the 30th century, to see what kind of advances they've come up with in forensic anthropology."

She grinned.

Paige noticed the tone and reached out slightly for Tempe's hand, "I think a lot of us have a better time here then back home, we can go back though, I mean he did, he went back to 14th century London and I've been back home a few times, but I guess if you don't want to that makes things different doesn't it?"

"and given the people in this place there you might someone from then and be able to find out how stuff's changed." she said encouragingly.

((and I must flee to bed, sorry, night))

"It makes all the difference in the world," Tempe said a bit sadly, her hand going the extra distance to touch Paige's hand.

"I've already heard a few things from people about some of the differences between then and now. Sometimes it's just nice to talk to someone who remembers that time, however little they remember."
