Best not to ask about the phone call.

John arrived a little before Jaina and thought he'd go ahead and buy some tickets. "Good afternoon," he greeted the lady.

Joanna looked up at John with some annoyance. "Mr. Winston," she said into the phone, "do hold on for a moment."

Lowering the phone and covering the receiver with her hand, she looked at John and asked, "Do you always walk up and just start speaking at people who are obviously engaged in conversation?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am," John replied apologetically. "I didn't see you were on the phone. I can wait." He was in a good mood, anticipating an excellent date tonight.

"I'm talking to my jeweler. I will be quite some time," she told him. "How many tickets do you require and for what activity?"

"Oh, well, then I'll take two tickets for mini golf, please." John smiled happily.

Joanna rang up his purchase, slid the tickets across the counter, and pointed towards the rows of putters and buckets of multicolored balls.

Lifting the phone back to her ear, she continued her previous conversation. "No, I don't know what his waist size is. Can't you make it out of elastic?"

John grabbed the tickets and went to select putters and balls for himself and Jaina. Hopefully he remembered her height correctly.

Mod your game play!

Taking a look around at their surroundings, Jaina couldn't help but smile. Even with as much as she'd seen and done, this was definitely new. "So regular golf isn't like this, huh?" she asked John.

"While regular golf has sand hazards, there's no great pyramid in the middle of it," he said, noticing their first hole.

"I think regular golf loses some of the tacky charm, then," Jaina said, tilting her head at the pyramid. "Okay, so are there rules on how to do this?"

John attempted to explain the rules, leaving out some stuff that may or may not be important and giving details on things that are definitely not important. "Make sense?" He seemed hopeful.

"Knock the little white ball into the little hole," Jaina nodded. "I think I got it. You're going first, though. I can study technique."

John grinned and surveyed the hole, "Sure thing." He stepped up and hit the ball toward the Sphinx, sending it in some sort of trap so it was spit out on the other side near the hole. "Look too difficult?" He was teasing.

"Ooh," Jaina said, faking intimidated. "You'll have to tell me if I'm doing it wrong."

The good thing about being little was that there was much less room between her and the ball, trying to follow what he'd done. The ball was shot out on the other end, though it was a little farther off.

John watched her putt, "I dunno, Jaina, you might need a few lessons in form."

Jaina raised her eyebrows. "That bad, huh?"

"Just thinking in terms of fun activities," John replied, grinning like a fool.

Jaina returned the smile and said, "Good thing I've got you around then, huh?"

"I'm very useful like that," John said seriously. "And I make a mean sandwich."

"You have hidden talents," she said, smiling as she headed back towards the hole. "I'm learning so much."

A fully modable manservant named Andrew was working the concessions stand.

Yay Friday!
