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.

"No, but I didn't know we was making so many," she said, eyes wide.

"Oh." He blushed. "I didn't want anyone not to get a piece. And I tried some new recipes."

"I'm just...impressed," she said, staring.

"It only took two days," he said, blushing again.

"I don't even know where to start," she said in awe.

He laughed and said, "They're, um, all pretty good. No strawberries but there's a lot of limes and lemons in some of these."

"How come some of 'em got stuff on top?" she wondered.

"It's just part of the pie," he explained. "For flavor, mostly. Or even decoration."

"Which one should I try?" she asked. "As pie expert."

"Um, hmm." He peered at the pies. "Pumpkin pie is always good. It's a favorite."

"Pumpkins in a pie?" she asked, confused.

"No," he laughed and shook his head. "Just...parts of it. It's good, trust me."

"But pumpkin's a kinda...gourd thingie," she said, perplexed.

"I didn't put the whole pumpkin in there, I promise," he said, amused.

"But it ain't sweet an' pie-like," she said, but she was getting herself a piece anyway.

"It works in a pie, I promise," Ned assured her.

"I trust you," she said easily. "Even if I'm real confused."

"I can explain it easier when I've got the recipe and pictures in front of me," he promised.

"I'll try it," she said, going onto her toes to kiss his cheek. "I'm gonna let you mind your pies, but I'm so gonna find you later an' make you dance with me."

"Maybe," he said and waved. "Have fun."
