The Beach: Sunday afternoon [5-18-08]

It was such a nice day that Lana decided to take a blanket to the beach and get some sun. She'd thought about heading to Selkie Cove, but decided she felt more like sand than rocks today.

She stretched out on her stomach, book in hand, thermos of iced tea beside her, and settled in for a nice afternoon in the sun.

Meg had the same idea as Lana and headed down to the beach with a blanket and a book. It wasn't quite warm enough for her to swim but it was definitely warm enough to tan.

"Hey, Lana," Meg said when she spotted her.

"Hey, Meg," Lana said with a smile. "Nice day, isn't it?"

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Meg smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it is. Still not warm enough for me to swim but, man, it's definitely laying out weather."

Lana nodded. "I agree. I mean, I might go dip my feet in, but I'm not ready to go dive in."

"I'll leave diving in to the crazy people," Meg said, smirking. "And they're out there too. Back home people would surf when it was freezing. Well, freezing in my opinion."

Lana laughed. "Well, there's no ocean in Kansas, but generally we don't go swimming in the ponds until it's a lot warmer."

Meg chuckled and shook her head. "Surfers are insane. Consider yourself lucky that Kansas is surfer-free."

Lana laughed again. "Oh, we have our fair number of insane," she assured Meg.

"No doubt. Every state has it's fair share of weirdos," Meg said. "Can't say I've ever been to Kansas though."

"You haven't missed much," Lana admitted. "Well, except the meteor mutants in my hometown, but I'd gladly miss those myself."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm sorry, but I have to ask," she said. "What are meteor mutants?"

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"There was a, um... meteor shower when I was three," Lana said, swallowing hard. "And a number of people were exposed to high levels of the meteors. They developed strange super powers. And almost always went bad."

"Wow. That's pretty weird," Meg said. "Unfortunately in Neptune people are bad without the superpowers."

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Lana nodded. "Rough town?"

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Meg said, nodding. "There's a big class war going on. And that's not the only thing. One of my friends was murdered by my other friend's father. And then recently...um..."

She didn't know if Dick wanted anyone in Fandom to know about his brother. "...another friend's brother. He blew up a school bus filled with my former classmates."

"Oh God, Meg," Lana said, her hand covering her mouth. "Oh, I'm so sorry."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thank you. You can see why I've decided to stay here all summer," she said. "I've hardly been home since I came here. Neptune is awful."

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't blame you," Lana said. "I'd stay here too. Well, actually, I pretty much have. I don't make it back to Smallville much either."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Meg smiled slightly. "Isn't that weird? This town is freaking crazy and yet it's tons better than my hometown."

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Lana had a similar smile on her face. "It's more home to me now than Smallville is."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Same here," Meg said, sighing. She hated thinking about how she had so little time left here.

"It's going to be hard to go," Lana admitted. "Even though I'm excited about the college I'm going to."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Where are you going?" Meg asked.

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"University of New Haven in Connecticut," Lana said. "To study forensic science. You?"

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Stanford," Meg said, getting that dorky smile she always did when she talked about college. "I'm starting out as a business major but hopefully I'll get into law school."

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2008-05-18 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh wow," Lana said. "Congratulations and good luck."
