Luke's Diner, Thursday

[lovemykilt]

The kitchen crew was putting stuff in Priestly's hair again. And snickering about him getting called a "village idiot" on the radio.

Priestly outwardly ignored them while secretly plotting their demise and planning a specials board that would go well with his t-shirt du jour.

Today's Specials
Love is in the Angelhair spaghetti with meatballs
Some Enchanted Pizza (with lots of garlic)
Bad Religion-food cake (Devil's food with a cute name)

Luke's was open for business.

"Dude's my best friend. I know him pretty well."

"Another point for you." She couldn't help the little smile at the thought that someone thought Edward would go with her to a dance. "Perhaps I should use the telephonic communication device to contact him."

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

Priestly suddenly wasn't sure if Edward knew how to use a phone. "Hey, always worth a shot. You want me to get you that coffee while you try him?"

Re: Talk to Priestly

"Oh! Yes, I'm am so looking forward to the coffee!" Adora replied happily, pulling out her Blackberry. This is what happened when Blair was your big sis. "Is it rude of me to try him now?"

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

Holy crap, how'd she end up with a Blackberry?

"Nah, I don't think so. If nothing else, you might end up having to leave him a message." Priestly wiped his hands absently on his apron, then headed towards the coffee pots to get Adora a cup.

Re: Talk to Priestly

Adora was slightly disappointed to leave Prince Edward a message (http://defeats-buses.livejournal.com/899.html?thread=21123#t21123), and wondered if he would understand her meaning. Perhaps she ought to go find him.

"I left him a message," she announced for Priestly when she hung up the device.

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

Priestly nodded. "Hopefully he'll get it before tomorrow night."

Man, he hoped he was right about Edward wanting Adora. He was really pretty sure he was, though. Unless Edward had finally found Giselle or something. But he'd think the guy woulda told him.

He held out the cup of coffee. "I added a bit of creamer and a fair amount of sugar. No one wants black coffee for their first cup."

Re: Talk to Priestly

"Thank you, Priestly. I hope he does, too." Adora took the cup almost warily and sipped at the hot liquid.

"Oh my! It's almost bitter but the sweet hides it. Delightful!"

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

Priestly laughed. "And it wakes you right up when you're tired, too."

Re: Talk to Priestly

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Since I'm not tired, will it have the opposite effect on me?" Adora wondered, sipping more and finding the strange near-bitterness grew on her.

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

"Nah. It might make you bouncy, though."

Re: Talk to Priestly

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Well, I am certainly capable of being bounc-OH!" Adora bounced right off her seat when her phone began vibrating in her pocket. Her hands smacked at it and she nearly drew her sword in her confusion.

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

"Wow, that was fast," Priestly said with a laugh. "The caffeine doesn't usually kick in quite like that."

Re: Talk to Priestly

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"I don't think it's the caffeine!" Adora replied, digging the vibrating Blackberry from her pocket. "It's moving on its own! Should I destroy it?"

There should be classes about how to work these things.

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

Priestly laughed more. "It's ringing. That means someone's trying to contact you. Push the green button."

Blackberries had green buttons, right?

Re: Talk to Priestly

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Green, green," she muttered, searching.

He was asking her to find something green on the sporadically shaking device while under the stress and embarrassment of wanting it to stop already?

"Hello? Hello!" Yeah, Adora missed the call before she found the button. "There's no one there!"

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

Priestly winced. "You missed it. It'll only ring so many times before your voicemail picks up. But you can probably check to see who it was." Priestly gave her a quick and handwavey explanation of how she might go about doing that.

Re: Talk to Priestly

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

He was incredibly helpful and Adora beamed as she listened to her message (http://fabulous-secret.livejournal.com/661.html?thread=26261#t26261).

"It was Prince Edward! He's going to take me to the dance!" Now she was literally bouncing and drinking her coffee. "Oh thank you, Priestly!"

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

There was no holding back Priestly's grin.

He ruled.

"Awesome. Told you so."

Re: Talk to Priestly

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"I simply adore coffee and dances and you are quite brilliant! I understand why you and Edward are such good friends!" Adora enthused.

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

"Aw, you're gonna make me blush." Priestly shoved his hands in his pockets and affected an 'aw shucks' rock. "So, coffee's on the house. You want anything to eat?"

Re: Talk to Priestly

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Oh, how sweet!" Adora smiled. "Do you have any chocolate for sale?"

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

"I could probably find a brownie sundae or two. But, uh, you want some protein, first?"

Re: Talk to Priestly

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"No, I think I want chocolate," Adora assured him, buzzing with either excitement or sugar. "What's protein?"

Re: Talk to Priestly

[lovemykilt]

Priestly kind of gaped at her for a moment.

Apparently, Adora's planet didn't have a food pyramid.

"You know . . . meat. Legumes. Spinach. Stuff with protein in 'em. Good for you."
