The Park, Saturday Evening

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

The ceremony had been beautiful. And the evening was only getting started. The guests were ushered into the large tent that had been erected (hee) in the park earlier in the day. The caterers had delivered and set up food and enough free alcohol to drink the entire town into a coma.

Of course, there was a special area reserved for the squirrels with dessert nuts and high-quality rum to keep Vala and Barney's smallest guests happy while they took their notes and danced the night away.

Pleased workers did a last check of the tables and cigar centerpieces before the guests and the wedding party arrived. The wedding reception was set to go exactly as planned.

[The reception, like the wedding, is open to everyone in Fandom. Once I put up some OCD Now.]

"Oh no," Fraser said and frowned. "Oh...wow. Is Professor Stinson all right?"

"He's Barney," she told him, shrugging.

"...why does that matter?" Fraser asked. "I'd imagine getting left like this would be hurtful."

"He'll bounce back. He's probably going to slink off with some bridesmaid later," she told him. "I'll check on him in a bit."

"Mmm. Are you all right?" Fraser asked.

Re: Tables and Chairs

"Aside from the aforementioned tiredness?" she asked. "I'm fine."

"I know you were worrying about this day so I wasn't sure," he said.

She kissed his cheek. "It actually turned out okay."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"It did?" Fraser asked. "How?"

"...there's a bar and dancing and stuff," she said. "And I look pretty."

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"You do but weren't you expecting that?" Fraser asked. "Shouldn't be a surprise."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"And I gave Barney a book to deal with Vala dumping him," she added, waving a hand.

"Did you want this to happen?" Fraser asked.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Want? ...no, not exactly," Robin said carefully. "I'm just not surprised."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"You never did believe that Professor Stinson could change his ways," he said.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

She shrugged. "No, it scared me to think that he could."

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Why's that?" Fraser asked.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Because then maybe I could too," she said quietly.

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"You shouldn't base what you can and can't do on someone else," Fraser said.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"I'm not. It just makes me think," she said.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

Fraser tried to put a few things together.

"So were you thinking about it and asking me those things because of Professor Stinson's wedding?"

Re: Tables and Chairs

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Do you want another drink?" Robin asked in a total subtle and not avoidy at all sort of segue.

Re: Tables and Chairs

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"No, thank you," he said, shaking his head a little and laughing in surprise. "I'm fine."

"I think maybe I'm going to get some more scotch," she said, leaning over to kiss him.
