Alanna and Thom birthday party

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly's always associated Alanna and heat. For one thing, she's got that fiery red hair. For another, she's a total hottie. Also, there was that time she tried to move into their hot tub for the winter. Lilly's still not sure she was joking

"..."

Alanna looks as if she's about to start screaming again (out of habit, really) until she spies the platter. Visibly relaxing, she snickers.

"You might be right. Mike, I do believe you match Meg!"

She remains impressed with the duckie bathing suit.

"Meg has it? Oh dear. And I just agreed to take dancing lessons."

Because there is clearly something stronger than rum in the drinks.

Laughing, "I'm quite certain it wouldn't be ladylike to answer that question. Not that that has stopped me before..."

She winks and pops one in her mouth.

"I don't believe so," she says, brow furrowed. "I suppose we'll find out? If I turn purple, it's not just a fashion statement."

She's not.

"Delicious! This is amazing, Mike. Did you help with the trees?"

[a_lioness]

"So I just imagined the whole ninja thing?" She smirks, eyeing his hands. "That has to be rough on the hands."

"Meg," she explains, "holds out hope that she can make me into a ballerina. The universe's worst ballerina, perhaps, but she has faith."

She raises her drink.

"For some bizarre reason, I said yes. Care to join us?"

[a_lioness]

"Duly noted," she whispers, leaning in as well. "But I don't know if I've ever seen you dance."

While this may or may not be true, she's hoping for a demonstration.

[a_lioness]

"Do you like waffles?" As rhetorical questions go, it might seem odd. Unless you know Mike. "Absolutely!"

She sets her drink on a nearby table and gets ready to applaud.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION?!

Alanna tries not to look panicked. And why should she be? It's not like dancing before the court.

She squeezes his hands and smiles.

"I am ready to be awed."
