Party!!!, Overland Park, KS, Sunday FT

Yesterday, Charmaine and Neil had gotten married in a tiny municipal wedding ceremony that had somehow been better for everyone than Charmaine's previous attempt at a marriage. And early today, the newly wedded couple, along with their infant daughter, had taken off for Houston to go househunting. And Kate was already feeling weird that it was really just her and Marshall and Bod around, now.

So it was a good thing this was the day she'd invited people to come visit. Some booze had been acquired, and Marshall had busied himself in the kitchen making snacks, and they were all set. It was going to be weird since Kate had invited a bunch of people who'd never been to Kansas before, but she was hoping it would be a fun kind of weird.

[Minor OCD coming up! And like I said in the invite, come one and all!]

"My world's the only sane one there is," Jack said. "Not that I expect the rest of you to appreciate it. But this is ... nice."
vanillajello: (My smile your idiocy.)

"Well, I'm glad you like it," Kate replied, with a little smile. "And I'm really glad you came."

"Wouldn't miss it," Jack said, then went over his life for any bits of news worth sharing before he handed Kate off to her next guest. "Oh -- Emma and I are officially together."

A pause as Jack decided to deal with the first three questions before Kate asked. "Yes, again. No, neither of us is moving. Yes, I'm happy."
vanillajello: (Pleasantly surprised.)

"Oh, dude, that's great news!"

Everyone was just getting back together these days. Well, two couples. That was enough for Kate to feel like it was everyone.

"I mean, screw you for stealing all my questions but still."

Jack laughed. "I'm sure you could come up with another question or two if you tried really hard?"
vanillajello: (Thinkyface.)

"I don't know, I'm a little tipsy," Kate mused. "They might end up being inappropriate, and Emma might get mad at me, and no one wants that."

"She might rip your head off, and I'd likely ask inappropriate questions about Bod right back at you," Jack agreed. "He mentioned he might stay here for a bit after graduation."
vanillajello: (Do keep talking.)

Kate nodded. "Mmhmm, that's indeed the plan. I mean, he's basically already living here as it is, so it won't be much of a change."

She looked unashamedly happy about that.

"Adorable," Jack sighed. "And you're still flying, right? So you won't feel too tied down."
vanillajello: (So I hear you say.)

"I don't feel tied down." Sometimes she did, but never because of Bod. "But yeah, SkyKans has my services for the time being. It's an okay job."
