Ky: I am terribly sorry that this took so long to get up, I actually had it all typed up and ready to post, but my iPad went all screwy and turned itself back to factory settings and I lost a ton of notes I needed. Anyway, I am retyping this now, while sitting in bed with tissues surrounding me because the Allergy Monster has attacked my house, but it will be up! Credit to Haven14, she won my review contest in my story "You Don't Know You The Way I Do", which everyone should go read right now XD anyway, Olivia is entirely hers, and for artistic purposes, I added a few things Haven did not give me, I only hope she likes the story :D this one shot also involves my OC, Emma, which you can read her entire story in the original, on my profile. Again, I'm not sure if this should go here, however I've seen other real life Starkid stories so hopefully its okay! Anyway, onward to the one shot!
Disclaimer: I don't own Starship, or the Starkids, or Olivia. Just Emma and the plot!
Jim & the Povolos Help Jim Get Some
(Or How Walker Got Povolo A Girlfriend)
"So Lauren tells me you're not going to go out with us?" Joe Walker asked Jim as he fell beside the man on the couch. Jim Povolo, the Starkid in question, gave his friend a forlorn look but nodded." And why exactly is that, my deep voiced friend?"
"No offense to any of you guys," Jim said with a sigh," But, it's a little annoying when every time we go out, all you guys do is pair off, and I'm left alone. I mean, ever since Brian finally grew a pair and got Meredith- mostly because of Emma –you got Emma, and Joey finally moved back to be with Jaime, everyone has someone, except me. I'm not big on moping because of it, I'm just not up for being a tenth wheel. Not tonight anyway."
"I can fix that," Emma said. The tiny girl seemed to appear out of nowhere, and was suddenly plopped on Walker's lap, her legs tossed carelessly over Jim's lap as well. Jim studied the tiny brunette and smiled when she crossed her big green-gold eyes at him. She was tiny, petite as she put it, even more so than Lauren, with nice curves, short choppy hair, and light tan skin. Her hair had bright pink streaks in it, this week anyway, mixed in with the natural blonde and Jim liked the splash of color. However, he was more focused on her interruption than anything." I have this friend, she works at a tattoo parlor, place I used to work too. She's training to be a tattoo artist, there, and she owes me a favor. I could have her join us? Worst case scenario she doesn't like you and you get a night without being a third- or ninth –wheel. Best case? You like her and another score for Emma."
"Why not… Not like I have anything to lose," Jim shrugged. Emma gave a smile and yanked out her iPhone, shooting a text at light speed and crossing her legs Indian style, still on Walker's lap." So why the pink little Darth Vader?"
"Jaime, Meredith and I were in Walgreens and I found this box labeled "Candy Surprise," Emma said her nose scrunched in distaste as Joe tried to tickle her sides." I wanted to know what the surprise part meant; Turns out it looks good." She paused as her phone quacked at her and she picked it up off her thigh." Olivia says she's in. She'll meet us at the arcade in two hours. Looks like you got a date Povolo!"
Jim wasn't sure how he felt about that; if the girl was anything like Emma, he would be in for a wild ride, but at least it would be fun.
"Emma! You licked me!"
"I wanted to know if you tasted like Light Saber, Sky-Walker…"
Yeah, definitely an interesting night, this would be…
3333333333333
"You're sure she said yes, Emma?" Joe asked, glancing at his watch for the third time as he and the tiny brunette waited in line to buy tokens for the arena sized arcade." It's been nearly twenty minutes since she said she would meet us."
"Oh no worries," Emma said staring intently at the prizes to be won with tickets," Olivia is notoriously late to everything, she'll be here in the next five minutes, tops, I promise. Now, I am going to win that giant frog…"
Jim was waiting off to the side of his group of friends; he had handed Emma a twenty to get tokens for him and this mysterious Olivia, and he felt a little self-conscious waiting off to the side and holding a flower- a dark purple orchid which were his favorite even if that sounded girly. He was interrupted from his thoughts as the door off to his side slammed open and a girl came splashing in from the rain outside. She shook off her yellow rain slicker- hanging it on the complimentary hooks by the door –and Jim saw a mane of orange hair, bright with golden hues under the shocking color. She turned around and smiled at him, big brown eyes also with gold flecks in them smiling at him as well. She had freckles over her cheeks and nose, and her smile was perfect and white against the light complexion she had. She stood a little taller than Jaime- about five foot four –and had a slim build, much like Lauren and Jaime. She wore a pair of worn jeans, torn at the knees and with a few other scattered tears down the legs, over red high top Converse with a red tank top and a red and blue plaid button up, open over the tank top. She walked over and held out her hand to Jim, who glanced down at it curiously.
"Olivia Jameson," She said tucking some hair behind her ear. He noticed she had quite a few piercings there and noted one was a shooting star, which he smiled at. He shook her hand, giving a soft return smile, still a little shy about the whole ordeal." You must be Jim, Emma told me to look for the tall cutie with a flower. Is it for me, or just for show?"
"It's for you," Jim smiled, loosening up at the girl's easy tone. She took the flower from him and smelled it, her eyes closing and a smile forming at the soft scent. She tucked the flower into her large tote bag- hung up with her coat and an umbrella Jim hadn't noticed before –and then turned back towards him with the same easy smile." You ready?"
"I was born ready, Jim," Olivia smiled," Born ready for anything and everything."
Jim liked her already; they set off after the group, Emma handing him his bucket of coins as they caught up, and giving Olivia a wave and smile combo. She was quickly dragged away by Joe, who was determined to beat her in Skee-Ball, and then make her show off her skills at the claw machines. Jim let Olivia lead the way, allowing her to drag him over to the racing games- one of his personal favorite –and then to the trivia machines, where she swept the floor with him in movie trivia.
"You sure know a lot about movies," He commented, watching the tickets roll out onto the floor from her jackpot winning question about some obscure fifties movie. Olivia smiled, taking the moment to tie her hair up into a loose pony tail, wisp of hair still falling around her face, Jim got distracted by the nice way the hair framed her face, and made her eyes sparkle. He reached up and brushed back some hair, blushing pink, but smiling when she did.
"It's a hobby of mine," Olivia admitted," I have this thing for movies, and I like to watch all kinds of them… My mom was a film major, so we used to have days where we would play hooky and just watch movies all day, in bed with popcorn and candy… It kind of caught on with me, and I still dedicate every Friday night to movies, take out, and candy. Doesn't leave room for goof dates, of course… Not a lot of guys enjoy sitting in and watching obscure movies, then talking about whether or not they liked it, but that the film skill was amazing…"
"I like movies," Jim smiled, taking her hand as she gathered up her tickets in her bucket. She smiled and gave his hand a squeeze back." And I'm not one for going out, anyway… These guys are usually the ones who drag me out to mingle and have fun… Honestly, your Friday nights sound so much fun; much more fun than partying with the group, watching them all get wasted and silly."
"Maybe you'll join me sometime, then…" Olivia said shyly. Jim smiled back, nodding at the question, and getting a return smile, her perfect white teeth flashing under her full pink lips.
"I'd like that, Olivia… I'd like that a lot…"
"But Joooooeeeee!" Emma whined. Jim glanced up to see the small girl pouting at her boyfriend and practically hopping up in down in whatever she was begging for." I'm only three tickets short! And I want that big frog! I named him already, and everything!"
"What did you name him then?" Joe asked, his blue eyes mid roll at his girlfriend's antics. Emma gave him a very convincing pout and Jim chuckled as he saw Walker's resolve fading.
"I wanna name him Chewbacca, of course!" Emma said matter-of-factly. Joe gave a laugh at this, which Jim followed, and Olivia did as well. She had a loud, clear laugh that seemed to fill the room, something that Jim immediately liked. Emma gave them all a serious look, but in the end Joe gave her the tickets she needed; they walked out with the tiny brunette holding the over-sized, stuffed, frog, nearly as big as she was. She stood on tip toe to kiss Joe's cheek and grinned." Thank you Sky-Walker… I'll have to remember to put Chewy up when I thank you, later…"
"And with that, I will take my leave," Olivia said with a scowl. She turned toward Jim with a big smile and held out her hand; he gave her a confused glance and she sighed, reaching into his shirt pocket and taking out his phone. She tapped in her number, sending herself a text so she had his." Text me, we can plan on date number two at my place, horror movies this Friday, I'm introducing you to the Masters of Horror!"
Jim grinned, nodding and taking the tight hug she offered- paired with a sweet kiss on the cheek –before she walked off towards where she said she lived. Emma was grinning like the cat who ate the song bird, but the deep voiced Starkid didn't care, he was happy.
"So, best case scenario it was," Emma said, a little too happy about it," Povolo is gonna get some! Povolo is gonna get some!"
Unfortunately, soon the entire group was joining into the childish song, and Jim was giving them all the finger; but he was glad that he had met Olivia, and was majorly excited for date number two. This was only cemented in when he checked his phone, riding home with Brian later, and finding a text from the girl:
Miss you already! Can't wait til Friday! xoxox Liv
Yup, Jim owed Emma a whole bag of her favorite jelly beans for this one; he felt like Firenze after he'd met Umbridge, in A Very Potter Sequel… And he liked that feeling a lot.

Ky: I actually rather like Olivia's character, I may have to use her in the future, if haven allows me to… Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed, but more importantly, I hope haven14 did, this is her prize, after all! R&R, even if it's just a flame!
