Secluded spot on the beach near Galactica Cove [NFB] [late afternoon]

[auroryborealis]

Rory stretched languidly on the blanket up on the beach, on her stomach in a pretty sundress and reading a book of poetry by Robert Frost. She had taken care of her sunscreen thing, and based on a tip from her grandmother, oddly enough, she knew to have the Chanel No. 5 she had been given that Christmas on hand for bugs. Not that there were many

Anakin came wandering up the beach a short time later.

"Hey," he said.

[auroryborealis]

Rory rolled over and sat up. "Hi," she said, smiling hugely at him.

[emo_padawan]

Anakin smiled back. "You're in a good mood," he commented, sitting down next to her.

[auroryborealis]

"Yes, that's because someone left me flowers," Rory said, tucking her legs under her. "Someone whose name starts with an A. My chief guesses at the moment are Angela, Alec and Aeryn."

[emo_padawan]

Anakin's eyes twinkled. "Not Alanna?" he asked.

[auroryborealis]

"Ooh, Alanna too! Or possibly Archie," Rory replied.

[emo_padawan]

"Anyone else you can think of?"

[auroryborealis]

"Anders...and Alex, but he's on vacation and would sign it as Krycek anyway," Rory said thoughtfully, smiling like an idiot.

[emo_padawan]

Anakin watched her smile. "Glad you liked them," he said. "Whoever sent them."

[auroryborealis]

Rory leaned over and kissed him.

[emo_padawan]

Anakin smiled against her mouth. "Guess you figured out who sent them."

[auroryborealis]

"Or else I just like kissing you," she murmured. "Happy anniversary."

[emo_padawan]

"Is it?" Anakin replied. "I had no idea."

[auroryborealis]

"I meant happy mine-and-Aeryn's anniversary, of course," Rory said.

[emo_padawan]

Anakin's eyes went slightly glazed for a moment. "Really?"

[auroryborealis]

Rory raised a brow. "You look all imagine-y."
