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.

"Think he could have had something to do with it being on my schedule?" Summer asked. "Because do I honestly look like the Home Ec type?"

"Well, you need to learn how to cook so you can be barefoot and pregnant later," Chris teased.

He didn't even try to dodge the thwap he knew was coming.

Oh yes. There was thwapping. On the back of the head. "Your chances of scoring later have plummeted dramatically."

She tried to keep a straight face as she said that.

Chris leaned over and stole a kiss. "I love you."

Summer smiled. "I know. I love you, too."

"And I really don't ever want you barefoot and pregnant," Chris said. "In fact, the thought of you pregnant kind of terrifies me, even though Matt and Maddie were really cute.'

"It terrifies me too," Summer said. "But...maybe someday they will exist. Some day far in the future."

"Far, FAR in the future," Chris agreed.

"I am so okay with that," Summer added just to emphasize. "So the boardwalk is nice. We should come here more often."

Chris nodded. "I agree. Before it gets too cold."

Which would be in a few weeks for two California natives.
