Sara's Birthday Adventure

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:24 am

Sara was lying on her bed, with the night light on, she was reading her newest acquisition.. "Slaves of the Dreamer", a strange book about a girl who communicated with people while they were dreaming.

There was a rather familiar knock on her door.

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:27 am

Quietly, she placed her bookmark between the pages, and made her way to the door, with a small yawn, she opened it, smiling to Cal. "Hey Sweety, what's up?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:28 am

"What's up," he said with a smirk, "Is that we have plans that you didn't know about. Get dressed, we have celebrating to do very soon."

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:29 am

"Plans? Celebrating? What for?" She asked, innocently, trying to play it off as she moved toward her dresser and closet, collecting the outfit she wanted to wear.

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:33 am

Cal, who was the one who knew where they were going, made sure that the outfit was appropriate, making suggestions here and there. "Because twenty-one years ago about thirty minutes from now, the lovely lady before me decided to grace the world with her presence, and the world has been a better place since," he teased.

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:49 am

"I'm not exactly sure if I'm making it much of a better place, I think it's quite the opposite." She said blankly, removing her pjs and dressing in the outfit.

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:53 am

"Well, I disagree, and it's your birthday, so we're going to agree with me that you're awesome tonight," Cal teased as he watched her get dressed (rather interestedly, as always).

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 3:01 am

"So why are we celebrating it tonight, instead of tomorrow..?" She asked curiously, as she finished up.

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 3:05 am

He frowned a little at that. "I got tapped for a mission," he said, obviously not happy about it. "I get to go undercover tomorrow," he said with a fake smile. "And no amount of arguing got the date changed, so I just spent the last hour and a half making calls and getting the plans changed. And it'll be tomorrow in a half hour, just, y'know, for the record."

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 4:18 am

She looked toward the ground for a moment. "So you'll be gone all day?" She asked softly, turning away from him, she brushed some of her hair behind her ear.

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 4:22 am

"Days plural," he said, grimacing. "Least until I'm sure that these guys really are stupid enough that they can't track me back to campus if I teleport. I've got to be laying low, since it wouldn't really be good for them to catch me going to school as an X-Man while I'm trying to get into their gang, but I don't think it'll be an 'oh my god, I'm out of contact for months and months' thing."

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 4:51 am

"Days..." She says with a sigh, sitting back on the bed, sniffling a bit, she wipes her eyes, and turns toward him. "Let's go then.." A smile crossed her lips, as if she was masking her sadness, trying to stay positive.

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 4:54 am

Cal smiled faintly, then pulled her against him. "I wouldn't do this if it wasn't important," he said quietly. Then he kissed her slowly. "And trust me... I'll make it up to you," he added quietly.

"Now!" he said, grinning. "Let's get on to the fun stuff, right?" And with that, the room dissolved around them...

...finally resolving into the lobby of a rather swanky looking building.

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 5:20 am

She stayed in a tight hug with him for a moment, holding him close, before looking around. "So, where are we..?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 6:00 am

"Welcome to Las Vegas," Cal said, his arm settling around her waist. "More specifically, The Palms. More specifically, Alize, the posh restaurant at the top of the Palms." Indeed, they were in the lobby outside the restaurant, and the view from a window across the way showed that they were also very, very high above the strip. He smirked, giving her a little squeeze as he led her to the door. "Welcome to my town," he added teasingly.

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 6:34 am

"So the British accent then?" She says in a very convincing tone. "Or the Russian?" She continued in a very thick russian accent, before laughing. "I've never been to Vegas..I've only heard about it..and seen it on the TV.."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 6:44 am

"You use whatever accent you want," he teased. He gave his name to the man at the door, who saw that yes, there was a reservation. It was, after all, early in the evening in Vegas, so Cal had managed to get them good seats, right at the window with a good view of the whole strip from on high.

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 6:54 am

Sara tried to keep her composure as she wanted so much to run around like a kid, looking at all the sights, but decided against it. "Shall we then, Mr. Strong?" She said in a very thick russian accent, taking his hand.

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 7:53 am

Cal took her hand. "Of course, Ms. McDohl," he said as he walked her in. He pulled her seat out for her so she could sit, giving her the seat that faced the windows overlooking the strip, then took the seat facing her. "Now... if Vegas isn't your thing, we can go anywhere you want after dinner. But as far as dinner was concerned... well, I'll admit, I had to give dinner my seal of approval. And this place got it."

Cal was, honestly, awash in the buzz of the city, even from this height. To his mind, Las Vegas was an electronic sea that his mind had grown used to navigating. True, he could access it from wherever, but here, among all of the casinos and hotels, all of the various establishments, it was like having them all laid out before his mind to touch as he saw fit, instead of swimming upstream through the various electronic pathways to reach them. Already, he was building up an after-dinner fund... or rather, he was adding onto it.

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 3:41 pm

Sitting at the table, she looked down among the city. Her eyes lit up like stars, this place was fantastic. "No, no, here is fine, Cal..This is...amazing!" She leaned over the table to him, and kissed him lightly. "Thank you."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 3:46 pm

"Oh, you're very welcome," he said, catching her hand and squeezing it. "And here, I know what to show you," he added with a wink.

HAL, get us some spots on the good sights booked.

Code: Select all: Acknowledged.

by **Sara McDohl** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 1:34 am

"What now? This is amazing as it is.."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 2:18 am

"Yes, but after dinner, I know the sights to see around here," he said. "In the meantime... god, everything in this place is amazing. You can't go wrong."

by **Sara McDohl** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 2:30 am

"Well...this is your surprise birthday dinner, so you pick." She said with a mischievous grin.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 2:32 am

"Well, all right, I will," Cal answered with a grin. The waiter approached a few moments later, and Cal handed them the menues, ordering in French. The waiter answered in kind, and then left to go take their order back.

by **Sara McDohl** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 3:08 am

"Avez-vous dû commander le vin le plus cher ?", she asked softly, smiling at him with a wink. "You don't have to do all this..I'm already impressed.."

<Did you have to order the most expensive wine?>

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 3:12 am

<Yes, yes I did,> Cal said, smirking. "And I don't care if it impresses you or not, I just want you to have the best for your... sort-of Birthday dinner," he added with a wink.

by **Sara McDohl** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 3:24 am

"Well I do appreciate it still...though with how fancy of a place this is, I should have done something with my hair..it's so bland compared to the other patrons.." She said looking around..

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 3:25 am

Cal smirked. "You look amazing. Don't even start being like that."

by **Sara McDohl** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 3:59 am

Her face turned a bit red, as she looked out the window again. "This is my first time in Vegas..it's really pretty.."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 4:04 am

Cal chuckled. "Don't get me started... I love this city. When I'm all done being the good little student? This is where I'm moving to. The lights, the people, the life... this place is great."

by **Sara McDohl** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 4:56 am

"I...honestly haven't looked that far ahead.." She said looking down for a moment.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 5:07 am

Cal shrugged. "Doesn't have anything to do with thinking," he said. "Sometimes you just see something, or I guess some place in this case, and you just think 'Oh! yeah, THAT's it!'"

by **Sara McDohl** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 6:01 am

She giggled softly at him, trying to keep her composure, but failing miserably.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 8:28 pm

"Sure, laugh at me," he said, smirking. "I see how this is."

by **Sara McDohl** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 1:27 am

"It's just...you seem to really love this place.." She said softly, glancing around.

by **Calvin Strong** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 1:30 am

Cal smirked. "Sorry. I'll stop that."

by **Sara McDohl** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 1:36 am

"No, no, don't worry about it!" She exclaimed, smiling to him. "As long as you are happy."

by **Calvin Strong** » Sun Jan 09, 2011 1:37 am

"Yes, but the point today is making you happy," he teased. "It's just that 'round here, I have a better idea how."
