The boardwalk, Friday evening

Blair didn't have ice to work with this time, but she tried to do what she could with the location she had. Luckily the beach was pretty. Besides, too much gold in the decorations tended to cross the line into tacky.

So she kept the decorations to twinkling gold lights and candles. Most of the linens were a crisp white, with golden napkins and table runners to provide pops of color.

The bulk of the gold went into the food. There were brandied apricots, lemon and chocolate cheesecakes, mango sorbets, small cups of saffron vanilla pudding, miniature stuffed yellow peppers, and any number of foods that followed the theme, along with the pies that Ned had made.

Drinks were mixed, but naturally included Goldschläger, as well as coffee and cocoa decorated with tiny gold letters which said things like "Fandom" or "Goodbye Summer."

Blair had staked out a prime table with a view of the water. She sipped at a passionfruit martini, listened to the music coming out of the various speakers she'd had set up, and looked forward to a night of judging watching the crowd.

She was also going to make sure nobody served those skunks. Clearly they didn't know how to hold their liquor.

"Older," Hurley said. "He's back at home still, though he's all graduated and working and stuff."

"I have one of each," Joan said. "Kevin works at the newspaper. Luke's in high school, too."

"Cool," Hurley said. "So no sisters?"

Joan shook her head. "Nope, just a couple of good friends. You?"

Hurley shook his head. "Just me, Diego, my mom, and Grandpa Tito."

"So what brings you to Fandom?" Joan asked.

"Oh, just giving my mom some space, mainly," Hurley said. "You?"

Joan shrugged. "Oh, you know, just looking for a fresh start."

"What, did you, like, start picking fights at your last school?" Hurley joked.

"No... I just..." Joan shrugged again. "It's hard to explain."

"Just kidding you," Hurley said. "You don't have to explain anything."

Joan gave him a weak smile. "Thanks," she said. "So what do you think of Fandom so far?"

"It's weird," Hurley said. "But not, like, bad weird. Yet."

"That sums it up pretty well," Joan agreed.
