In celebration Jack invited everyone over to his place for a bar-b-que, the team, their families, spectators, anyone that wanted to come. Normally he saved the big party for the end of the year, but considering, he figured it was okay to do two of them, especially since a friend of his had started, and failed, in the meat business and gave Jack and his wife more meat than any two humans would be able to eat in three years. They all headed to Jack's and he got the grill going while everyone else got ready to party.
"So." Donny found Larissa on the swing with Kiki. "What's up?" Larissa grinned at him.
"Nothing, just… hanging out." She turned and gave Kiki a look.
"Huh? Oh right umm… what's that? Be right there!" She jumped up and hurried off.
"So…" Donny trailed off.
"So?" Larissa leaned forward in anticipation and nearly fell off the swing. Donny laughed, sitting down in the other swing.
"Umm… I was thinking, maybe like… in the near future you and I could go for ice cream or something." He suggested Larissa lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Yeah I like ice cream." She nodded, and then pressed a hand to her forehead. "And I'm not normally this dorky." She added.
"Naw, I like the dorky bit, it's cute." Unbeknownst to both of them they were being watched, in the tree house sat Kiki and Jimmie watching them.
"Dude, that was cheesey." Jimmie said loud enough that the two below could hear.
"Totally, I'd be better off with a primetime soap opera." Kiki agreed. Larissa and Donny looked up, making face. Kiki and Jimmie laughed, standing up.
"Saw that one coming."
"From a mile away." Kiki nodded. Jimmie walked to the captain's wheel, giving it a little spin.
"So, wanna go get a burger?" He asked, looking back at her.
"Last one there has to get a veggie burger." She challenged.
"You're on."
