Owen's left hand was on the steering wheel while his right was holding Annabel's. The car ride was slow, but enjoyable as he drove them to pick up Rolly. As he arrived at the curb where Rolly and Clarke were waiting, he was thinking of the tickets he and Rolly had gotten for the Techno Blowout, as they called it. The last time they would force Annabel to try and like the genre. The last time they would be listening to it together, as Annabel had convinced them only to play techno when she was not there…which was never.

As much as Owen winced at not playing Techno on the air, he liked her more, so techno was gone from the play lists. If he and Rolly couldn't change her mind tonight, they never would. That being the accepted mentality, Owen unlocked the car for Rolly and Clarke. He watched them slide into the back through the rearview mirror. 'Let's hope we have no shows of affection in my back seat' he thought as he pulled away from the curb and towards the Bendo.

The ride went by fast and when Owen parked the Land rover, everyone piled out of the vehicle. Annabel looked quizzically at Owen, he just smiled and said she'd have to find out the surprise or herself. He reached for her hand, lacing his fingers through hers, just as Rolly had done for Clarke…as well as a make out session…in the back of his car. Owen watched her blush, 'We've been going out for almost a year now…why does she still blush??' He kissed her cheek and walked her inside after Rolly and Clarke.

They passed through the doors and Owen realized that they had gotten there late, if nothing else than by the band already playing. He glanced over at Annabel at the same time as Rolly, he must have had the same thought, to find that she had a sick look on her face, but was laughing all the same. "You guys…why do you…want me…to like…techno…so much?" She asked, laughing so hard her speech was broken. Clarke joined in as well as Rolly and in a few minutes, Owen started to laugh as well.

"Because," started Rolly after the laughter had died some, "this is a great genre of music, but it's also…"

"Our last techno concert together" finished Owen.

Annabel looked at him, suddenly dead serious, "You'd give up techno, just because I don't like it?" She thought this was the oddest thing in the world, for the man who loved music, any and all, to give up a whole genre…for her. It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for her, so she stretched up and kissed him on the cheek.

This time it was Owen's turn to turn red, "Well…we've tried for a year to get you to listen to techno, and if you still don't like it, then it'll be an alone time sorta thing…" He looked down at her, leaned down and kissed her, smiling against her lips before he broke away, "And I don't want alone time from you."
