Running... No, Skipping to the Great Hall! <3

[bestkogalever.livejournal.com]

Ran, for all intensive purposes, was skipping down the hall. She had been able to find a relatively nice shiny black skirt and a handful of accessories, to go under the remains of the Hello Kitty dress (She had all but destroed the skirt, along with removing one of the sleeves), and Fordichi agreed to go out on a date with her.

Wow... Fordichi... She never felt like this about someone before, not even her old boyfriends! For Ford, she'd even drink a thermos of her "Killer-Death-Drink" (a beverage that, if her Potions text was correct, had the same potency as "Slug's Breath", whatever that was). She was almost to the place where they would meet! ... Wow, she didn't realize how pink the building was, until now.

"Sweet... Looks almost like Sparklypoo." She said, as she stared around the room.

Ford leans casually against a wall just outside of the Great Hall. When did this place get so pink? he wonders. He's ready for a night out, although he isn't entirely sure what has prompted it. Ah well, go with the flow, that's his motto. Well, that and "don't panic," which is probably good advice in this situation too.

Ford waves when he sees his enthusiastic date enter.

As soon as he came into view, Ran, well, ran up to him, performing a jump, hugl as soon as she did, "Fordichi! GreattoseeyouI'vebeenwaitingforyoualldayandit'sbeensodullhowhaveyoubeen?"

Caught in some sort of attack-hug which he assumes is a sign of affection, Ford resists the urge to say, "Do I know you?"

"I was in the library most of the day. I think Mssr. Black has put up some sort of anti-owl field so that they aren't flying in disturbing people." He shrugs. "So, uh, how you been? You're looking good..."

[bestkogalever.livejournal.com]

"Really?" She smiled at that. Wow, that was hell of a lot better than the "Ran, marry mee!!!1110010!!"-s she used to get in Shibuya. "Thanks so much, Fordichi. I think you look great too! Why, you're the most GL-guy in all of school... No wait, in the planet! A guy as cute as you can't be from this planet."

"So, I'm taking you to dinner, at this great place... I'm covering for it, don't worry!"

"You're right, I'm not from this planet. I'm from outer space baby." This is really bad for his ego. So bad, in fact, that he is starting to sound a bit like Zaphod.

"Sounds hoopy, let's go."

"... HAH! I always knew aliens existed!" She took a moment to stand in a rather proud pose, thrilled about this. Her excuses DID have some credibility after all!

"And great!" She took Ford by the hand, pulling him along with her relatively fast walk.

Ford follows along, still not at all sure what is happening. However, since no one is threatening to shoot him, or push him out an airlock, or read poetry at him, he's content to go along with it. In fact, an attractive person seemed to be offering to feed him and take him dancing. This was, he hoped, some sort of karmic retribution for past disasters.

He seizes on the chance to find out more about his excitable companion. "Yep, totally exist. And, uh, where are you from?"

"Oh, I'm from Shibuya, Tokyo! The most happening spot in the most beautiful city on the planet! It's awesome, there's kareoke, and all sorts of arcades, and dancing! Ooh, and tons of people. What about you? Well, where's your current city anyway?" Ran said, rambling as if she had drank three cans of Red Bull in one sitting. "But never go to 'Bukuro. It's a lame-ass place. Only thing to do there is go to some dinky aquarium they've got."

"I've been living in London, or there abouts. I usually tell people I'm from Guilford, because they get twitchy if I tell them I'm from a small planet in the vacinity of Betelgeuse. It's a nice area I guess, pretty exciting by Earth standards actually, but not somewhere I wanted to be stranded for fifteen years. This place is far more exciting. Especially today, everyone seems unusually happy." He shrugs again.

"Well, it is Valenti- Oh! Crap!" She stopped suddenly, smacking herself upside the head. "I forgot... Honmei Chocolates. Crap, I need to get you candy!"

[researcher42.livejournal.com]

"Um, you don't have to do that." Obligation to give something for Valentine's Day meant relationship, which meant commitment, which of course meant bad bad news. And wasn't that moving pretty fast? Ford was really feeling like he'd missed something. "Really, not neccesarry. Why don't we just relax, have a good time?"

[bestkogalever.livejournal.com]

Ran suddenly stopped, letting go of Ford's hand as she did so, "Y'know... I think you're right on that." She was quiet for a moment, mentally thinking 'Wait a minute. What am I doing?' Before deciding 'Oh right, going to Hogmeade.'

"Alright... Well, I'm heading down to The Balmy Crab. You coming too?" She asked, as if she totally forgot she was in the process of dragging him down that way.

Ford stops too, noticing the change in Ran.

"Uh, yeah, that was the plan, I thought. You okay?"

[bestkogalever.livejournal.com]

She pauses for a moment, confused, "I'm fine, I'm fine... Confused, but fine. Hey, who are you again?"


[And with that, I must head to bed. Sleepy... And I'm seeing Robot-Devil's Mun tomorrow. ^_^]

Ah, another shift in the universe. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

"I'm Ford. The Ravenclaw Prefect? We were, uh, hanging out and thought we'd go down to Hogsmeade. But it's getting late, maybe we should just go back to the castle, especially since you seem a bit dazed. We can always do it another time."

He turns and guides them back to the castle, honestly a little worried about Ran. She was clearly crazy, but he kinda' liked her.

((G'night. It's been fun.))
