Fast Eddie's, Wednesday evening

After some handwavey planning, John and Aeryn head into the bowling alley for the meetup with Rory and Anakin. It is certainly not a double date, even if it might look that way. It is simply a friends outing. Which is probably a good thing, since Aeryn figures she'll spend half the time talking with Anakin about how everyone here is weird and this makes no sense anyway.

See, totally a friends outing.


[For John, Rory and Anakin, but Fast Eddie's is open for all your bowl-o-ramatic needs.]

John's already lacing up bowling shoes becase, come on, he hasn't done this in months.

"I need to find a blue ball. A blue ball. It's my lucky color."

"Dirty?" said Rory, who walked in just ahead of Anakin and just in time to hear that.

"There's dirty, too?" Anakin asked. In addition to throwing heavy projectiles?" He blinked at John's shoes. "And wearing someone else's footwear? Assuming those aren't John's, of course."

"Not someone else's," John explains, hefting up a powder blue ball. "They belong to the bowling alley. Special for the lanes. Gotta wear them! They're neat!"

"Mine are my mom's," Rory said happily, pointing to her slightly too-large pink and yellow bowling shoes. "Can I have a pink ball? So that it matches my shoes, and plus? It kind of looks like a gumball."

Anakin stared at John's shoes. Then Rory's.

"Absolutely not," he said.

"If you wanna bowl, you gotta wear the pimptastic shoes," John says, twirling his in front of him. "Come on, Aeryn. I bet you and Anakin can get shoes in pink and baby blue."

Bowling!

John goes first, lining up on the arrows.

"Watch and learn," he says and makes his approach before flinging the ball down the lane. He hits eight pins. "Bada bing!"

"Two tries, Aeryn." John grabs his ball and sends it flying down the lane. He hits one. "Eh, the pin moved. Good start. No someone can go next."

"I'll go," Anakin said, standing up.

He hefted his ball not dirty and stared at the pins for a long moment.

"Bada bing," he said. John had, after all, so it must have been part of the tradition--and then let the ball go.

All ten pins fell down.

Anakin smirked proudly.

That the ball got there five seconds after the pins fell over Anakin thought was merely a formality.

"Anakin, no cheating," Rory sighed, looking stern. "Especially no blatant cheating? That was kind of sad."

Anakin pouted. "I rolled the ball and all the pins fell down. Wasn't that the point?"

"You can't have China," Anakin said firmly. "Who's next?"

More Bowling!

"I totally knew that," Anakin said, blushing fiercely.

He went to the ball return and picked up his ball. He carefully rolled it down the lane.

Then he picked up Rory's ball and rolled it down the lane next to them.

Two strikes.

"I got twenty," he said, smiling proudly.

"I didn't cheat!" Anakin yelped. "I'm just way more talented!"

"But you used my ball," Rory said. "And if you somehow turn that dirty, I will take the pictures from my phone to Kinko's or something and have them turned into posters."

"John used Aeryn's ball, Aeryn used my ball--we're all about using everyone else's balls!" Anakin blinked. "No posters. Please?"

"Sharing is caring," John says wisely. "Your boxers are kinda cool. Aeryn's scared of mine."

"You're fine once I take them off!"

Okay, John, PUBLIC PLACE.
