It was the morning of their trip to the beach and Blair and Roxanne were making their final checks around the apartment before leaving. They had packed their bags the night before so they didn't have much to do once they woke up.
Lucia had graciously paid for a three-night stay at a world-renown beach resort. The team got to stay in a lavish villa and relish in its many amenities during their vacation there. It was only a week away before the opening ceremony of the IG-1 Invitational event, so Lucia and Sarah wanted their team to be relaxed and ready for the upcoming races.
"Is everything in the kitchen turned off?" asked Roxanne from inside hers and Blair's bedroom.
"Yeah," said Blair as she sat on the couch in the living room, waiting for her partner to finish up whatever it was she was doing.
"All the appliances?" asked Roxanne who was still scurrying about within the bedroom.
Blair let out a weary sigh and replied, "Yes. Checked those too. Dishes have been washed. Trash has been taken out. I got everything I need packed so let's get going already. Shizune and Miharu already left fifteen minutes ago. By the time we leave, everyone's going to have gotten there already and started having fun without us." She grumbled to herself and stared at the blank TV screen which wasn't turned on. Anxious to get going, she tapped her foot then looked to the bedroom to see what was taking Roxanne so long. "Hey, Rox, what're you-" Just as she looked to the door, Roxanne finally stepped out with bags in tow. "Oh, wow…," she Blair, looking over her beautiful girlfriend and the simple, yet lovely outfit she was wearing.
Roxanne was wearing tan short shorts and a black sleeveless top that came down to just above her bellybutton. On top of her head was a large sunhat made of straw and on her feet were a pair of casual slippers. To top it all off, she had a pair of designer sunglasses on along with her watch on her wrist. The entire outfit was in itself a simple one, but it showed off a lot of Roxanne's skin which Blair fancied. "How do I look?" she asked, giving a twirl so Blair could see her from every angle.
Blair was only wearing an athletic-fit V-neck shirt, light-tan Capri pants, and hiking shoes, which in all was an outfit that didn't look nearly as stylish as hers. "You look great, Babe," she said as she got up from her the couch.
"Shall we get going then?" asked Roxanne, heading for the door with a bag slung over her shoulder and pulling her rolling luggage behind her.
Blair smiled and retrieved her luggage. "Right behind ya," she said, following Roxanne out the apartment and locking the door behind her.
They headed on down to the parking garage and decided to take Blair's car to the resort. Driving around a beach town in a sportscar with the top down was much more appealing than riding in Roxanne's BMW sedan. Not that it wasn't a nice car, it was just that Blair's ride was much more appropriate for the vacation atmosphere by the beach. Blair and Roxanne put their luggage and bags in the trunk then got buckled in. Blair decided to put the sunroof up during their long drive to the resort. It was sunny out, so they decided to save the convertible ride under the sun for when they got there and not get burnt even before arriving. Once the roof was fully up and locked, and after Roxanne readied the GPS with the resort's address, Blair put on her aviator sunglasses and drove the car out of the parking garage towards their three days of fun under the sun.
In total, the trip to the resort was going to take around two hours or so depending on traffic and the amount of stops they made. During the car ride, Blair and Roxanne started off by talking about what they were going to do once they got there and any potential fun things to keep an eye out for. Eventually, they got on the topic of their future together and what it meant for the two of them.
Blair continued to mind the road and kept her left hand on the steering wheel while the other was resting on her leg. As she was driving, an advertisement came through the speakers after one of the songs they were listening to finished. They were using a music streaming service to listen to music which had advertisements play between songs sometimes. The commercial was for a jewelry company advertising a special on engagement and wedding rings. After the advertisement was done, music began playing once more through the car's sound system.
"So, are we going to get married?" asked Roxanne out of the blue as she kept her attention focused on the passing landscape outside.
Blair nearly choked on her saliva as she responded. "Married!?" she asked.
"Yeah. You know, marriage? It's 2051. Marriage is legal between two women now, you know," said Roxanne in a joking manner before sipping on her mocha frappe that they got earlier.
"I know that. But that's a- That's a big commitment," said Blair as she glanced at Roxanne before focusing back on the road.
"Are you saying you're not committed? Am I not worth the commitment?" asked Roxanne as she turned her head towards Blair.
"No! It's not that I'm not committed or anything. It's just…," said Blair as her head begin to fill with many different things. "Weddings are a big affair. Almost too overwhelming think about."
Roxanne took another sip from her frozen blended coffee then smirked. "It's not like you're going to have to plan the whole thing on your own. Of course I'll help you," she said.
"Yeah, I guess," said Blair. "So hypothetically then, how would our wedding go?"
"Hypothetically? Still on the fence about the whole getting married thing?" asked Roxanne after a heavy sigh.
Blair smiled and placed a hand on Roxanne's thigh, giving it a reassuring rub. "No. I'd like to get married, very much so even. But eventually, though. I'm just worried about how we would go about doing it? Is there going to be some sort of big ceremony? Who would we invite? What about all the paparazzi and the like? Our fans? Like I said. Almost a bit too much to think about," she said.
Roxanne smiled after hearing that marriage was something Blair definitely wanted. She then placed a hand on top of Blair's, caressing it gently. "So you're not concerned about the act but rather how we would actually go about doing it?" she asked before giving it some thought herself.
"Yup. If all you wanted to do was have a private ceremony with just the two of us and say our vows to get married, then I'd be down for that in a heartbeat. Unfortunately… I figure you'd want something a bit more than that, huh?" said Blair as she turned her head to hear Roxanne's response. Blair was spot on in her assessment as Roxanne remained silent for a bit in her seat. "Am I right? You were thinking something grand in a church with all our friends and family in attendance? All the glitz and glamor of a traditional wedding? I'm not saying I'm against it. I'm just saying it's going to be a lot of money and effort to put all that together."
"I suppose…," said Roxanne as her mood became more subdued.
Seeing that she may have troubled Roxanne a bit, Blair quickly changed topics to try and brighten her mood. "But that honeymoon, though. That's going to be one hell of a honeymoon, won't it? Just you, me, and no one else. All the privacy in the world all to ourselves just to do whatever we wanted… or whoever we wanted…," she said with a wink.
Hearing her girlfriend's fantasy made Roxanne smile as she perked up again. "That 'whoever' you speak of better only refer to one person, the one person you just committed your entire life to not but a day or so ago," she said with a chuckle.
Blair chuckled as well, relieved by Roxanne's renewed spirit. "But of course. I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else in the entire world," she said, giving her lover a warm smile before looking back to the road.
Roxanne was able to relax again, daydreaming in her head about being married to her one, true love. The very thought of her and Blair being a married couple made her feel all warm inside that she could barely contain it. Eventually, she thought. One day the time would come when she and Blair could be happily married. She let out a contented sigh as she glanced over to Blair who was focused on the road and didn't notice her. Roxanne let her eyes linger on her girlfriend for a few moments then looked away. It wasn't like what she and Blair had was bad or anything. In fact, it was almost perfect the way it was then, so she decided marriage could wait until later and focused on the present.
Not before long after their talk about marriage, Blair and Roxanne arrived at the beach town the resort was located in. Before getting there, Blair had parked at a gas station to put down the roof so they could see everything and take in the sites more clearly. As they drove through the area with the sunroof down, Blair and Roxanne grinned happily as they took it all in. The sun was shining bright. There was a cool breeze and the sky was clear. Everything was perfect for a vacation at the beach.
Roxanne continued to guide Blair through the unfamiliar streets and towards their resort using the car's GPS. The closer they got, the more touristy their surroundings began to get. There were restaurants and eateries galore featuring all sorts of different cuisines. There were stores and shops stocked with everything a beachgoer or tourist would need or not necessarily need. In addition to all that, there were exciting attractions all around to visit and experience. Blair and Roxanne were having a hard time keeping track of it all that they nearly missed their turn that brought them to the resort's entrance.
Blair followed the signs and drove up to the resort's main building and reception area. She hoped there was valet parking so she didn't bother finding a parking spot right away. As she pulled up to the front entrance, she caught the passing glance of a pedestrian or two admiring her sweet ride, or maybe even the occupants inside said sweet ride. Blair smiled as people stopped every now and then to watch her drive on by. Seeing an empty spot, Blair steered her car in and parked, relieved to see what appeared to be a valet attendant positioned there for guests. She and Roxanne then got out and retrieved their bags from the trunk of the vehicle, heading on over to the hotel employee. He was an older gentleman and seemed to be more of a supervisor than a frontline worker.
"Excuse me. Does this hotel have valet parking?" asked Blair to the attendant standing behind a podium.
"Indeed it does. Unfortunately, all our valets are out attending other guests, but I'm sure one will return in just a few short moments," said the employee. "In the meantime, I can take your key and give you a ticket so you don't have to wait."
"Sure. Here ya go," said Blair as she tossed him her car key after removing it from her keyring. "Take good care of her."
"But of course, ma'am. This is for the yellow Dodge Viper, I assume?" asked the employee as he held up the key.
Blair looked at him then to the sportscar they clearly just got out of. "Yup. That's the one," she said with a smile without trying to sound too condescending.
"Very well," said the employee as he got a valet parking ticket ready for Blair. As he handed her the ticket, he couldn't help but wonder. "Do pardon me but… have I seen you before?" he asked.
Blair paused after taking the ticket, looking at him from behind her reflective aviator sunglasses. "Nope," she said simply before giving him a friendly smile and heading inside along with Roxanne. Roxanne gave her a smile with a small shake of her head, taking Blair's hand in hers as they entered the lobby.
Blair's bright red hair often attracted the attention of unsuspecting fans, but she and Roxanne learned their lesson a while back about revealing their identity so freely while in public. After becoming famous in the IG-2 when they first started racing, they were constantly hounded by paparazzi, news reporters, and crazy fans whenever they went somewhere in public. Over time, they began adopting a more discrete approach to appearing in public, though, things had calmed down significantly since then. Luckily for them, they were both wearing sunglasses and Roxanne had her hat on as well. That was all it took to mask their identity well enough to not immediately be recognized by the average bystander.
Inside the lobby, Blair and Roxanne looked around for Sarah who said she was going to meet them there when they arrived. Before getting to the resort, Roxanne called everyone else to see if they had gotten there already and it appeared that everyone was there except for her and Blair. As a result, Sarah was going to show them where the villa was since she and Lucia were checking in at the time of the call. She was going to wait until they got there and meet them in the lobby.
"See her anywhere?" asked Blair as her eyes continued to skim around the room.
Looking around, Roxanne finally caught glimpse of the team manager. Sarah was in the main waiting area off to the side, sitting comfortably in one of the recliners there as she read a magazine in her hands. What was odd was that Roxanne and Blair barely recognized her as she wasn't in her usual business casual attire. Instead, she was completely in the spirit of a beach vacation, wearing a bikini and luau floral skirt to cover her lower body. She had on flip-flops and a pair of sunglasses with her hair completely let down and flowing freely, a white flower placed haphazardly in it.
"Co- Colonel?" asked Blair as she and Roxanne approached Sarah with their luggage right behind them.
Sarah looked to the two through her tortoise-shell shades and let out a sigh, tossing the magazine back on the table in front of her. "It's about time you two showed up. I've been waiting for like half an hour already," she said, standing up and facing the two.
As Sarah stood up, Blair could fully see her figure in her appropriate, yet revealing choice of an outfit. Much of Sarah's body was exposed, allowing Blair to see her still toned features which she hadn't seen much of, not that she was keeping an eye out for Sarah's body in the first place; she was just surprised was all.
"Sorry, ma'am. We had to make a stop or two along the way," said Roxanne. "When did you all get here?"
Before she answered Roxanne's question, Sarah gave Blair a curious look, wondering what she was staring at despite not being able to see her eyes through the sunglasses. "What's the matter, Brass? See something you like," she said with a playful sway of her hips.
Blair snapped out of her daze and fixed the sunglasses on her face. "Huh? Nothing. Just not used to seeing you like this is all, ma'am," she said with an awkward smile. Roxanne gave her a sideways glance but Blair just shrugged it off.
"Well, bikinis and floral skirts aren't exactly standard military issue, so I suppose not," said Sarah with a chuckle. "With regards to your question, Jack, we got here a couple hours or so ago so we already got the villa squared away. Lucia and Maggie are there settling in as we speak. The twins arrived soon after we got here and are there as well. C'mon, let's get going and I'll show you." She then motioned for Blair and Roxanne to follow her as she began heading off.
"We all have rooms, so when we get there, you two will have a room all to yourselves," said Sarah as she walked along ahead of Blair and Roxanne. "I'm sure Miharu and Shizune already chose their room so you can have whichever is left over since you were last to arrive after all."
"That's fine with us. We don't mind sharing…," said Blair as she gave Roxanne a sultry smile.
Even though Sarah was ahead of the other two and couldn't see them, she could tell the kind of expression Blair had on her face solely based by on her words and tone. "Which reminds me. I happened to be talking with the twins earlier…," she said.
"Yeah? And what'd they say?" asked Blair who was still lost in her head about having a room with Roxanne all to themselves in a coastal paradise.
Sarah smirked to herself and glanced over her shoulder at Blair. "They happened to touch on what it was like having you two as roommates…," she said.
Roxanne didn't like the sound of what Sarah was going to say, knowing how mischievous the Anko Twins were. "Oh? Was what they said… good?" she asked, hoping for the best but knowing full well that wasn't the case.
Sarah looked forward, continuing to walk at a casual pace. "Let's just say that I like my sleep and hope to enjoy a full-night's rest while we're here, okay?" she said, alluding to what the twins might've told her regarding the promiscuous things Blair and Roxanne did together. "Now, I'm not saying you can't have fun, but just keep the noise down. I'm sure Coach and Maggie don't want to hear any of that nonsense while they're here as well."
Blair blushed, not necessarily liking how word of their loud nighttime love-making was getting around. "U- Understood, ma'am," she said.
While Sarah led Blair and Roxanne back to their villa, she highlighted things and places of interest around the resort along the way. She pointed out a couple fancy restaurants, a few gift shops, and some cafes scattered about as well as a wide variety of key sites like the main pool area and primary beach access point. Blair and Roxanne made sure to make a mental note of everything, talking amongst themselves as they tried to contain their excitement. Eventually, they reached the part of the extensive resort where the VIP villas were located, soon arriving at their very own.
It was one of the higher-end villas the resort had to offer. It was well secluded from the other villas in the area and was situated nicely on a hill. It came with five bedrooms paired with their own spacious bathrooms. The villa also had a small kitchen area, a study, and a lavish living-area complete with the latest in entertainment systems. Just outside the villa in the back was their very own hot-tub and pool. The pool wasn't very large, only around ten by fifteen feet in size with a depth of just under six feet. If Blair and the others wanted a real pool experience, the main resort area was more than equipped to satiate that desire with its many larger pools and aquatic attractions.
"Here we are, the Polynesian Villa," said Sarah as they arrived at the front of their abode. When the three of them entered, they were promptly greeted by the rest of the team.
"Blair! Rox! Check out the sweet digs!" said Miharu and Shizune as they appeared in the doorway to their room together. They were both wearing khaki shorts and a light-purple tank-top.
Blair and Roxanne were near speechless at how elegant and impressive the interior of the villa was. On the outside, it looked like a quaint bamboo and wood dwelling, decorated with a French-Polynesian flair, but on the inside, it was completely different. It still had a French-Polynesian theme, but everything was more contemporary and sophisticated looking. Sarah let the two gawk at the villa and continued inside to find Lucia and Maggie.
"Wow. This place is great," said Blair as she continued to admire her surroundings.
"It should be. It's the best villa they had available," said Lucia as Maggie wheeled her into the main part of the villa to greet the late arrivals. Lucia was sporting a simple outfit consisting of a loose, buttoned shirt and casual slacks. She too had a sunhat but it was a bit smaller than Roxanne's. Maggie had on a simple flowing dress that went down to her knees.
"It's very nice. Thanks again for arranging all this for us, ma'am," said Roxanne as she turned towards her.
"It's my pleasure," said Lucia with a warm smile. "Now that you're all here, let's go over a few things before you all disappear to do your own thing." Everyone then gathered around her to hear that she had to say. "First off, thank you all for your hard work these past few weeks. You've earned this little vacation so spend it how you please. Next, if it's nighttime and one of your teammates is sleeping, try and keep the noise to a minimum," she said, suddenly glancing to Blair and Roxanne. The two of the started to redden in the cheeks, wondering if the twins told her as well about them. "And lastly, all I ask is that you don't get into any trouble or put yourself in a position where you can't race, like getting sick or injured. With it being so close to the opening ceremony, I don't want you all taking any unnecessary risks, okay?" Lucia was mainly talking to the pilots, so they all nodded in acknowledgement.
"Read you loud and clear, ma'am," said Blair.
Lucia looked to each of her pilots, making sure they understood her fully. After hitting on everything she wanted, she dismissed everyone to begin their merriment. She allowed Maggie to go off on her own if she wanted, but Maggie elected to stay with Lucia in case she was needed. Sarah left the group to take care of something in her room while the pilots remained huddled together.
"So which room is ours?" asked Blair to the twins.
The two sisters turned to the last room available and pointed to it. It was off to the side within the villa's interior next to the other bedroom with a king-sized bed. The other three bedrooms only had queen-sized beds which were each taken by Sarah, Lucia, and Maggie. Since the twins had first pick, they chose the bedroom closest to the villa's main room, meaning Blair and Roxanne had to take the bedroom in the very back corner of the villa. Blair and Roxanne thanked the twins then headed to their room to settle in. The two entered the bedroom with their luggage and closed the door behind them.
Blair let out a relieved sigh then went straight for the large bed, flopping on her back onto it. "Ahh… this is nice," she said with a satisfied smile as she just lay there on the high-end mattress, her shoes still on her feet.
"Is it? Looks pretty uncomfortable to me," said Roxanne in a joking manner as she brought her luggage inside, setting it on top of a luggage stand. She then placed the bag that was slung over her shoulder on the ground next to it; she'd take care of everything later. Instead, she just looked to Blair on the bed and went over, sitting beside her and laying back as well.
The two of them just lay there, enjoying the calm and tranquil moment together in solitude. "So, what do you want to do now?" asked Blair after lingering peacefully for a while.
Roxanne hummed to herself, giving it a thought before responding. "I don't know. There's so much we can do," she said after a relaxed sigh. "What do you feel like doing?"
Even after talking about what they could do at the resort during the car ride, and even after Sarah pointed out several things of interest during the walk over to the villa, Blair was drawing a blank. "I don't know. I'm just so comfortable laying right here with you," she said. "Wanna just walk around? Maybe we'll find something to do once we're out and about."
"Sure. There's probably lots more to see than what Sarah showed us on the way here," said Roxanne as she sat up on the bed.
After a few moments, Blair sat up as well and got off the bed, heading for the door. "All right then. Let's get going," she said with a skip in her step. She and Roxanne then left the villa together and headed back into the main portion of the resort, walking hand-in-hand at a casual pace. They were in no particular rush and had nowhere specific to be, so they enjoyed the relaxing stroll through the resort. Eventually, they came upon a bar by the pool and decided to get a drink.
Blair and Roxanne each ordered a drink then found a spot off to the side under an overhang to sit. Blair ordered a Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri while Roxanne got a simple Pina Colada. As they sat together enjoying their alcoholic beverages, someone unexpectedly came over to them.
"Didn't think I'd find you lounging around in a place like this… Hex," said the mysterious woman.
Blair's ears twitched and old memories began coming back to her after the voice registered in her head. "Well now, that's a surprise. There are few people in the world who actually know me by another name," she said without turning to face the person addressing her just yet. "Most of them knew me as Brass. But that name. There are even far fewer around who knew me as Hex," she said before finally slowly turning around to see who it was. Much to her delight, Blair stood up to greet the woman as did Roxanne who also recognized the person. "It's great to see you again, Spec."
Standing in front of Blair and Roxanne was there old college friend, Gale, who went by the alias Specter. "Likewise. Didn't expect to see you here as well, Spook, but I suppose I should've known since you and Hex are nearly inseparable," said Gale while shaking Blair's and Roxanne's hand.
"You're looking good, Gale," said Roxanne with a smile after shaking her hand. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"
"Indeed. Though, I never thought I'd be shaking hands with world-famous IGPX stars when we first met," said Gale as she motioned Blair and Roxanne to sit back down. She took a seat next to Blair and continued chatting with the two.
"So what brings you here? Taking a break from all the semen you work with?" asked Blair with a snicker, giving Roxanne a high-five as she alluded to Gale's job as an officer in the U.S. Navy, whose members were referred to collectively as Seamen.
"I guess that's one way to put it," said Gale after letting out a sigh, seeing that her friend's sense of humor hadn't changed over the years. "I'm just taking some normal leave with the family while I still can. I'm set to deploy back on the open seas next month."
"Family? Like parents and siblings?" asked Blair as she picked her drink back up.
"Nope. Just me, the hubby, and my darling little daughter," said Gale.
Roxanne nearly spat out her drink after hearing Gale. "You're married!?" she asked.
"Yeah," said Gale as she showed off the wedding ring on her hand. "Never thought I would, but then life happened and I ended up getting hitched. And now we have a kid as well."
After hearing the topic of marriage again, Roxanne glanced over to Blair with a furrowed brow. "So… when are we getting married again?" she asked with a playful look.
Blair rolled her eyes at her. "Eventually, Rox. We'll get there eventually," she said.
Gale chuckled at the two. "I'm surprised you haven't done it already, especially after being together for so long," she said.
Blair and Roxanne just sat there, thinking about how long they'd been together. "I guess we've just been too busy that it slipped our minds," said Blair.
"I suppose so, being famous celebrities and all. But don't worry. There's really no rush to getting married. I just had… uh, extraordinary circumstances that kinda pushed my timetable up," said Gale.
"Lemme guess. He knocked you up, didn't he?" said Roxanne with a knowing smirk.
Gale just looked at her and sighed. "…yeah," she said. "But hey, it all worked out in the end and now I have a beautiful, loving daughter."
"So where are they now?" asked Blair.
"They went off to grab a snack. I was just sitting at our table when I happened to see you two sitting over here, so I came over to say hi while I waited," said Gale
Blair could barely believe the news. Gale was only a year or two older than her and she was already married with a child. "I still can't believe it," she said. "Hope all that didn't get in the way of your military career."
"Yeah. By now you should probably be… an O-5, Commander?" asked Roxanne, trying to recall the U.S. Navy officer rank structure.
Gale smirked, glancing away. "Yup. I just got recently picked up for commander, actually. I'm going to be the U.S.S. Valliant's X.O. soon," she said.
Suddenly, a man and a small girl came over to the table Blair and the others were sitting at. "Mommy! Mommy! We got ice cream!" said the young girl as she stood next to Gale, showing her mother the ice cream cone in her hand. She couldn't have been older than five or so.
"We were wondering where you'd run off to," said the man accompanying the little girl as he leaned over to give Gale a kiss. He then turned to Blair and Roxanne. "Pardon my wife if she's bothering you. She's very personable and likes to talk to strangers even if it means intruding on conversations," he said, playfully nudging Gale.
Blair smiled, seeing Gale and her family looking so happy together. "It's all right. We actually know Gale here from our college days," she said. "We were just catching up on things."
"Is that so? Well, any friend of Gale is a friend of mine," said Gale's husband as he reached out to shake Blair's and Roxanne's hand.
Blair and Roxanne stood up and returned the gesture, learning that his name was Jeff in the process. "Nice to meet you," said Blair.
As they sat back down, Jeff couldn't help but feel like he'd seen the two before. "Wait a sec…," he said, giving the two a closer look before immediately recognizing who they were. "Honey! Aren't these two-," he said before being shushed by Gale. He looked over to see his wife placing a finger to her lips. He then looked back to Blair and Roxanne and figured that they wanted to keep a low-profile while on vacation. He gave them a nod as did they back to him.
Seeing that her family was back, and that Blair and Roxanne probably wanted to continue enjoying their vacation in private, Gale got up and began herding her family away. "All right, you two. Let's head back over to our table and finish our ice cream," she said as she took her daughter by the hand. She then gave her husband a smile and began leading them away from Blair's and Roxanne's table.
Just as they turned to walk away, the daughter looked back over her shoulder at Blair, making direct eye contact with her. "It's the racing lady, Mommy!" she said.
"That's not her, Sweetie. That's just someone who looks like her. Now c'mere. You got ice cream on your cheek," said Gale as she took a napkin and cleaned her daughter's face.
After Gale and her family left, Blair looked back to Roxanne and took her drink in hand, swirling the contents of her glass around. "Never expected Gale to end up like that," said Blair before taking a drink.
Roxanne picked her drink up as well and took a sip from it. "Why's that? You thought she was gay like you?" she asked.
"No. Well, that and I just didn't see her as the settling-down type," said Blair.
"I guess you just never know what life throws at you. You just gotta roll with it," said Roxanne before focusing more on her drink.
"Yeah, I guess so…," said Blair.
"So… how about kids?" asked Roxanne with a wily smirk.
Blair let out a pained groan as she suddenly got brain freeze, burying her head in her hands. "One thing at a time, Babe. Marriage first then we can talk about kids later…," she said.
"Braine freeze?" asked Roxanne with a snicker.
"…yeah," said Blair.
"Things never change," said Roxanne before taking a drink of her Pina Colada.
"Yeah, I suppose not," said Blair as she began to think back to when she and Roxanne first met Gale.
