The Park, Friday Evening

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Shortly before sunset, the party was ready to start. The park was decorated with classy black and white decorations, music was playing from hidden speakers, food and drinks were set up, there was a man from the bank with a stack of giant checks….

So apparently there were a couple things that set this apart from the normal Fandom party.

The setting sun was an unsubtle reminder that summer was about to end. And that was what this was all about, really, besides the orphans. One last big party with your friends who would be gone soon, a week before a brand new big party with your incoming friends. This was for you, Fandom, and also the orphans.

It was also probably notable that the guy throwing the party was not there yet. Which just went to show that you could still show up fashionably late even if you were the host, planner, AND decorator.

"It's got to be a compliment," Nikolai laughed. "If I had said you were worse, I'm pretty sure you'd be well within your rights to hit me."

He'd let her, too. Right in the shoulder.

"I'd want to," she admitted, "but that would be a pretty bad impression to give at a party."

"Probably. But then, anyone who's met me probably couldn't argue that I had it coming."

Even Nick couldn't argue that one, himself.

"Don't worry. You're striking me as far more level-headed than at least half of the people I've met over the years."

Not that, at twenty-six, he was particularly old.

"Only half?" she teased. "I guess I'll have to work harder. Though maybe it's the island that counts against me..."

"Got it on one," Nikolai laughed. "If I'd met you back in Los Angeles, then you might even make the top ten. But around here?"

"Rats," she said cheerfully. "And it's been weeks since I've made anyone's top ten list."

Okay, not really. Blue Rose was doing just fine, thanks.
