The beach does make a nice change. I can't remember the last time I went to one and had actual fun.

[ Last time had been blood magic and terrible things, so... ]

I saw, but I haven't had a chance to go yet. It's been even longer since I went to a fun fair at all. They're not really big things in the wizarding world.

[benames]

Well, it's not magic and it's definitely old school rides and overly sugary snacks but.

[ you can do it, Ramon, this one is for team flash ]

Maybe we could go. I mean, you and me, one afternoon, if you want to.

[brainiest]

It sounds perfect, just like the ones at home.

[ And, of course, Hermione doesn't think this is anything date-like, why would she?, so - ]

I'd love that, Cisco. Did you have a day in mind?

[benames]

Maybe tomorrow?

We could go in the afternoon when it's not too hot.

[brainiest]

That sounds perfect. Just tell me where to meet you and I'll be there!

[benames]

oh I'll just come and pick you up

if that's ok

around 6?

[brainiest]

Oh! That's fine too, of course. I'll be ready and waiting, promise.

[benames]

[ at the very least, an outing to a carnival doesn't require anything special in the way of clothes. A good thing, as Cisco has nothing but t shirts and jeans and some girly clothes he still has left from his Cisquita Ramon days. He doesn't go for flowers since cliche - instead when he comes over, he hands her a box ]

Ok so - this has to go to your ship's fridge. It's from the ice cream machine Hank and I made, you have half vanilla, half peanut butter and a very clear warning note.

[ aka in black marker reading 'PROPERTY OF HERMIONE GRANGER. TOUCH/STEAL AND FACE TERRIBLE UNNAMED CONSEQUENCES' ]

[brainiest]

[ Hermione, at least, has a handful more options - the benefits of being a witch - and she decides a simple turtleneck and jeans would be fine. They're going to a fun fair, not a dance, after all. It was vastly different from dressing up for Samhain and she's still not sure how well she's prepared, but there's no time left as she reaches out to take the ice cream from Cisco. ]

Oh, you managed it? But, a note, really -

[ She reads it and has to bite her lip, fighting the urge to burst into giggles... Which isn't entirely successful. ]

Dare I ask about the consequences?

[benames]

Possible deniability .

[ firm nod. it's better than you don't know, hermione ]

let's just say I'm a genius engineer, no one wants to steal the lunch of a genius engineer or their - friend.

[ right? right. it made her laugh, 7 points ]

[brainiest]

I don't think I'm going to get taken to court here.

[ All the same, his seriousness is charming and she makes her way over to make sure the ice cream is nice and safe in the fridge. She'll end up sharing with her crewmates anyway, but at least it has a nice note. ]

No, you're probably right. Friendships and their perks?

[ Stepping over, she moves out of the room and reaches to grab Cisco's hand, no pause at all as she tugs. ]

Let's go.

[benames]

Hey, you never know. If the aliens ever feel like a Law and Order version of the show, we might.

[ though he really hopes not, he doesn't have his legal jargon down at all. a moment later she tugs on his hand and yep, ok, not going to go into a fanboy mode over holding hands with hermione granger.

( there might be a victory dance later on. ) ]

right. you know, I haven't been to a carnival in years either. It should really be a thing.

[brainiest]

I'm sure that would be an absolutely thrilling first episode for us.

[ Which, no, it would be ridiculous and they both know it, but there's no point arguing. What Hermione focusses on is the evening ahead of them, tied up with no end of excitement; she wants nothing more than to go and have fun, to ignore the ridiculousness of being in space for a few hours and just bask in the company of good friends.

She, of course, has no idea how he feels about the hand-holding. It's so natural to her now that she does it without thinking, just used to having a hand in her own. ]

So we need to ask the Atroma for monthly carnival stops?
