OOM: Bart and Umbeka!  
"Sorry, buddy, looks like I won't be needing that coat after all."

Jenny flashes the bewildered man behind the counter a bright grin as she finally walks into the outer clothing store in Umbeka's spaceport. It only took a little more than a week, but if you ask her, it's totally been worth it.

Just look at the really cute guy she's dragging in behind her!

"Going to try a different form of fun instead," she continues. "Those hot springs that sign outside was bragging about! Where are they?"

He points in some vague direction that's good enough for Jenny. Still holding tightly on to Bart's hand, she walks back out the door and in to the busy space station.

Welcome to another planet, Bart!

The Judoon DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR SMOKE.

They do, however, CARE ABOUT SEEING THINGS. And lo, there is confused regrouping as Bart finds a way into and hobbles onto the ship.

The little ship that is not bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. D:!

Alas, a Timelady (in training) without her own TARDIS!

Oh well.

Jenny scrambles on after him, aiming another few rounds in the Judoons' direction. She drops the backpack and guns in the inside of the ship, darting past Bart to get to the cockpit.

"Buckle up, Speedy!"
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:26 pm (UTC)
HE CAN DO THAT, TOTALLY.

Once he figures out how this seatbelt works. (You'd think it wouldn't be that difficult. Belt, buckle, presto, right? Right?

NO.)

And, after a few seconds of fumbling, he does. All hail.

"Where are we going?"

Right now, they're blasting out of Umbeka. She laughs in delight as the spaceport shouts at them to stop, demanding they return to dock. In fact, they barely make it out of the quickly closing gate.

"I don't know," she responds once the coast is clear. "Anywhere you wanna go?"
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:32 pm (UTC)
"Uh."

This is about where Bart realises that it might've been nice to find a sure way back to Milliways so he doesn't get stranded here.

(Speedsters. They never think that far ahead.)

"What's nearby?"
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:36 pm (UTC)
She shrugs, pulling up the ship's computer. with the hyperdrive in the ship, there really is any number of planets they can chose from.

"Um. Seems to be a few."
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:38 pm (UTC)
Beat.

"Flip a coin?"
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:39 pm (UTC)
Laughter!

"You have one?"
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:39 pm (UTC)
Woeface.

He is still wearing swimming trunks, thank-you-very-much.

"No."
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:41 pm (UTC)
Alas!

Well then: "Computer. Nearest habitable planet with a beach, please!"

And lo and behold, coordinates are set. Jenny turns to smile at Bart, taking the time to look over his bare chest. "Love this thing."
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:44 pm (UTC)
(No fair! She already changed back! D:)

Travel time gives Bart a second to eye his ankle for a second. "We got any ice in here?"
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:45 pm (UTC)
Jenny wrinkles her brows and nose, sighing.

"Not really. It's a short distance travel ship. I think there may be a medkit in the back. Should be something in there."

Since the ship is on autopilot, it won't hurt for her to get out of her seat. She undoes the buckle and begins to walk to the back as she talks. "Maybe-- aha!"
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:47 pm (UTC)
That 'aha!' is a very good sound. Bart cranes his neck to see the action.

"Found it?"
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:55 pm (UTC)
"Yeah," Jenny answers, rummaging through it. Everything unimportant drops on to the shuttle floor. She walks back over to him and kneels on the floor.

"Self-cooling pack and a bandage. Is that enough?"
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 08:59 pm (UTC)
"Guess it has to be."

Reassuring grin!

It's not like he'll die from a sprained ankle, after all. (Except maybe from inability-to-run stir-crazy.)
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 09:08 pm (UTC)
She grins back and sets to work as nurse. First step is to activate the cooling pack which, it turns out, is quite cold for not being proper eyes. She places it against the swollen ankle, pausing for just a moment to place an awkward kiss there.

Then she begins to wrap it up with the bandage. "I'm sorry you got hurt. I don't think that's supposed to happen on dates."
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 24th, 2008 09:11 pm (UTC)
"Not your fault."

Said pack is, however, more comfortable than proper ice, so hey, he's not complaining.

"At least you got to do your rescuing."

Why yes, he did catch that bit in her original tirade of questions.

Though he still doesn't Get It.
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 25th, 2008 02:21 am (UTC)
Sabriel got her boy by rescuing him! It stands to reason that this sort of method should work!

"I did," she says brightly, looking up at him when she finishes bandaging. She places a hand on his thigh and shrugs. "Next time it's your turn?"
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 25th, 2008 02:28 am (UTC)
Grin.

"I can do that. So long as you don't sprain anything."

Cause. Rescuing without injury would be nice.
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 25th, 2008 02:33 am (UTC)
"Promise," she responds happily. They got out of there in one piece and that's what really counts, right? Grinning, Jenny moves to sit on his lap. "We have a few minutes till we land. Wanna continue where we left off?"
[identity profile] blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com on July 25th, 2008 02:37 am (UTC)
Griiiiiiin.

"Buena idea."
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on July 25th, 2008 02:41 am (UTC)
Buena idea indeed.

It's a good thing the ship is small and her father has two hearts. Teenage hormones are not a force to be reckoned with.




In other words? Cue fade to snogging.
