Even when she wasn't working at the store on any particular day, Summer had gotten in the habit of at least checking what weird holidays were set for any given day, just because if it got really weird, and something went wrong, she was going to be the one having to deal with it. So when she walked into the bar and found Tino leaning against it over a book, reading glasses perched on his nose and everything, she just assumed it had something to do with D.E.A.R. and groaned.

"Not you, too," she said, coming around to behind the bar to drop off all her jello shots and get set up for the evening. "It's bad enough I have to deal with Apu doing this every week, and now I've got--"

It was then that Summer realized that the book Tino was ready was actually just a blank-paged journal, and she frowned as he flipped a page and seemed very invested in what he was 'reading', and she blinked, considered the glasses, realized he was wearing one of those cardigans with the patches on the elbows, and felt a flash of realization for what was going on here.

"Oh.My.God, Tino," she said, "are you trying to pretend to be an intellectual? Who are you trying to impress? Seriously, though, just a blank book? Couldn't even pull out ~~meta for~~ War and Peace or anything? Ohmygod, that's so sad."

Of course, he ignored her, continuing to 'read', nodding along thoughtfully to the excellent points this imaginary book was making, and she just shook her head and got back to prepping for work.

Although now it was going to bother her. Who was he trying to impress?

Were they better off just not knowing? Ever?

"I mean," said Summer, "obviously, there will be food crimes. That's just a given. The reason question is just simply what kind."

"As long as you don't make me eat them all," Stark told her. "What sort will entertain you most?"

Was it gross ones, Summer?

"Not all of them, no," Summer agreed, since that still definitely opened it up to some. "And I'm not sure."

Lies. Obviously it was the gross ones.

"I'll have to think about it a little, see what I come up with. Sometimes, all it takes is the right....spark of inspiration, you know?"

Stark had accepted his fate. Or at least accepted that he would be eating some gross things sometimes.

"Maybe you'll be inspired this weekend," he suggested.

Dun dun dun.

"Maybe." Despite herself, Summer had to grin a little, putting a little extra oomph into the shrug of her shoulder. "You think anything particularly...inspiring might happen? This weekend?"

"It could," Stark said, looking down at the bartop. "Things happen here all the time. I know there will be dancing Friday?"

He'd been promised dancing.

He had been promised dancing, this was true.

"Dancing," Summer grinned at Stark's lowered gaze, "is definitely a good place to start."

"Is there anything else you need me to do...or want me to do, besides going to get my suit tomorrow?" Stark asked.

"Before we can dance?"

And, boy, did him phrasing it like that make Summer feel all sorts of conflicting things, making her smile in a way she almost felt bad about, but definitely not bad enough, and she lightly shook her her head.

"No," she said. "Just the suit. Make sure Boc doesn't fuck it up. And then come pick me up at [Handwavey Time] on Friday."

"I'm sure he won't," Stark said.

Not that Stark would really be willing to tell him if he did.

"I'll come pick you up. And we'll walk over together?"

"Perfect," Summer smiled. "I'm looking forward to it."

"So am I."

Just in case that wasn't already abundantly clear, Summer.

"Very much."

Even if he was a little worried he was going to end up dressed in something very odd. Only a little. His stylist had yet to steer him wrong.
