Fri Sept 26th - Gotta Get Down on Friday

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 11:08 am

Kay is rifling through her locker during lunch break, busy stuffing her math books and homework into the back. She pulls out her drawing pad and a case of pencils to put into her backpack instead, along with a crappy MP3 player and her flip-phone. She's humming to herself and clearly in good spirits, excited that she's just one last class away from the weekend and a sweet bonfire party.

((open))

"How's it going, Kay?" Theresa asked as she headed down the hallway towards a class of her own.

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:06 pm

"Resa! Going great. Did you see there's a party thing tomorrow? With, like, a bonfire and stuff! Are you gonna be there or are you too cool to hang out in the same place as us lowly highschoolers?" she grins, needling her a bit.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:09 pm

"I'll probably lower myself to attend," she said with a good-natured grin. "If nothing else, someone needs to make sure it doesn't rain the party out."

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:16 pm

"Not that I was gonna ask, but that'd be really sweet." she grins back. "Gotta give summer one last good send-off!"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:18 pm

"Not that that Gemma girl couldn't keep the bonfire going if she got it into her head, if the rumors are true, but everyone else would be miserable."

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:22 pm

"Oh yeah, they totally are! I helped pull her sister's bike out of the ocean. I didn't see her but the bike looked messed uuuuup."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:25 pm

"Look at you, doing search and rescue," Theresa said with a grin.

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:28 pm

"Heh, yeah, I guess." she chuckles. "I mean it was just a bike and there was no rush. More like salvage."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:34 pm

"I keep telling you that there's all sorts of cool stuff you can do. When you're in your element, you're the queen."

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:38 pm

"Watch out whalers and... uhm... pirates? Divers with no license?" she chuckles.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:42 pm

"Sea monsters, people trapped in sunken ships, people trapped in underwater research facilities..."

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:45 pm

"Good point! I need to advertise or something so people in exotic beach locations can call me in. The North Sea is boring. There aren't even any mermaids. Just snake people that get innocent people banned from swimming out too far."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:49 pm

"That sucks. When did that happen?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:54 pm

"Earlier this year. Mister Gabriel got attacked and I had to promise not to go out too far in case they're still out there. Not like I could totally outrun them or anything." she rolls her eyes.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:57 pm

"There seems to be a lot of that protectiveness going around. Like we can't take care of ourselves and stuff."

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 7:11 pm

"Yeah, it's kinda annoying. I mean, we're not little kids anymore. I guess you get to deal with less of that now."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 7:18 pm

"You'd think, but there's still vestiges of it hanging around. I basically get to be the new kid all over again."

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 7:24 pm

"Hah, then you can look forward to me graduating too so someone else can be the new kid instead." she laughs.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 7:31 pm

"I'm working on trying to break out of it. Prove I'm more than just some upstart high schooler."

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 11:14 pm

"Only a matter of time, right? You're the Mistress of Weather!"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 8:39 am

"One can only hope," she said with a chuckle. "Every thing else going okay?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:31 am

"Eh, I guess."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:35 am

"You don't sound very certain of that."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:41 am

"Things with Miranda have been kinda... I dunno. Not bad, but..." she shrugs, kind of embarrassed just mentioning it to Theresa.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:01 am

"Just kinda 'not'? You can always tell me to buzz off, but if you need someone to listen, I'm all ears."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:11 am

"Yeah. It's not bad but it's also not butterflies and rainbows, you know?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:19 am

"And butterflies and rainbows are important sometimes. Not to speak too ill of your girlfriend, but she always seems kind of distant when I see her around."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:26 am

"It's not so bad when it's just the two of us but I never know what's going through her head and then sometimes it's like there's something more important she's thinking about."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:30 am

Theresa nodded, "So rather than her mind being on you, she's always somewhere else?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:37 am

"Yeah... I dunno, it's just not really working out. Maybe it's me."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:39 am

"Sounds like she's the one with the problem honestly. I would know, having been the one with the problem."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:45 am

"Maybe you weren't though. Maybe I'm just not a good girlfriend. I am kind of a cold fish." she says, lifting up the fin on her lower arm with two fingers and letting it flop back against her arm.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:47 am

"Nope. Pretty sure I was the asshole," she said, shaking her head. "You're a fine girlfriend, Kay. Maybe you just haven't found the right person yet."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:57 am

"Okay..." she relents with a hint of a smile. "But counterpoint." She flaps her fin a couple more times for emphasis while looking at Theresa with the most serious 'Do you see what I mean' expression she can muster while trying to hold in her laughter.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 12:05 pm

"I never found you cold," Theresa grinned. "A fish yes, but never cold," she says, flicking the flopping fin.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 12:35 pm

She sticks her tongue out at Theresa and closes her locker. "So what's on the schedule for the soon-to-be-heroine this afternoon? Boring college courses?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 12:36 pm

"One more class then some training, then my weekend starts. So terribly exciting and glamorous, I know."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 12:45 pm

"Oh yeah, just some training. You know, for becoming a superhero. The usual, really." she laughs. "Can I come watch?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 12:48 pm

"Sure, if you want. Not quite sure what it's specifically going to be. Got several goals I'm working towards, so if it's boring, I won't blame you if you skip out."
