The park, Tuesday afternoon

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Slurping on a large cherry slurpee and with another large blue raspberry in his other hand, Jude boarded slowly towards the park to hook up with Maia. He twisted and jinked automatically, without spilling a single syrupy drop.

He did, however, tell himself not to grind on the benches. He had a feeling Maia didn't want grass in her slurpee.

Maia checked her watch as she hurried along, her hair was still wet from the shower. She saw Jude coming towards her and waved, she watched him boarding and grinned. She didn't do it herself but always admired those who could. "That's awesome." She called out as she crossed the last stretch of distance between them.

Ivanova didn't even really notice the boy boarding. She had been mainly amused by Maia's bouncing excitement the entire way here, watching her fondly. Now she turned her attention to the lanky teenager and one eyebrow crept upwards. This was Jude?

Riiiiiight.

She sauntered a few steps behind Maia with her hands shoved in her back pockets, staying silent for now.

Jude slid to a halt before her, turning the board at the last moment in a suitably dramatic finish. He grinned at her. "Thanks, bra! Hey, I . . . uh . . ." He registered the dark-haired girl behind Maia and trailed off, suddenly nervous.

"Your welcome." She said as she jumped back a little to avoid his board even though she was sure he wouldn't hit her. "Jude this is Susan. Susan this is Jude." Maia said beaming at Susan and then at Jude then back at Susan.

Ivanova nodded. "Jude. Maia's mentioned you quite a few times." Despite the grins being exchanged, Ivanova didn't feel even the slightest threatened by this lanky stranger.

"Uh, yeah, nice to meet you, man. Er, dude. Er, bra. Maia was like, totally stoked when you were back." Jude looked down at the slurpees in his hand. "Aw, man, I only got one extra one . . . I didn't know you were going to come."

Maia blushed profusely Jude saying how stoked she was. "It's ok Jude thank you." She said taking the blue raspberry and holding it out for Ivanova to take a sip. "We sort of met up at the showers..." She blushed again and cleared her throat. "Slurpee Susan?" She asked giving her a soft smile.

So far so good they seemed to like each other or at least Susan wasn't being openly hostile. That counted high in Maia's book on introductions.

"Sure," Ivanova murmured, leaning over Maia's shoulder to take a sip. It also gave her a chance to slip an arm around Maia's waist. She was trying to hide a smile at Jude's manner of speech, even if she was left wondering, Bra?

"Stoked, you say?"
