Nerdiest Halloween EVER
Who: Bette and Talia (with a brief appearance by Talia's dad)
Where: Talia's home
When: Sunday, October 31st
Did Bette feel JUST a little silly dressing up for Halloween? Sure. But considering she knew Talia would go mental over her costume (a nearly exact replica of Kitty Pryde's blue-and-yellow X-Men costume, complete with animatronic Lockheed dragon on her shoulder) she was willing to do it. Of course, now that she was on the front doorstep of the house the girl shared with her father... she felt ridiculous again. Sighing, she rang the doorbell, just wanting to get to the part where Talia went non-verbal.
Talia, of course, felt a little silly herself. She'd never really felt comfortable with her body, despite the fact that she was the ideal hight and weight, and had the blonde hair, blue-eyed thing going for her. Of course, she didn't dress in a PVC replica of Asuka Langley Soryu's pilot outfit from Neon Genesis Evangelion, for herself. She'd chosen it because she remembered a specific conversation that she'd had with Bette when they first met. So, with her hair dyed a dark red, she yelled: "I've got it!" Since... her dad was home, and opened the front door... and yes, as predicted, she went non-verbal.
Yeah, well... then consider this a moment so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. Because Bette literally stammered, unable to do anything but feel her jaw open and close several times, before finally blurting out, "....Overheating.... DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!"
Talia blushed profusely and tried to stifle a giggle by covering a hand over her mouth, before tugging the other girl inside, giving her a surprised once-over. "My ...words will come back eventually."
"I kinda felt like a 'tard walking here in this. Especially when people kept pointing at Lockheed." She said that as the little robotic dragon actually made a yelping noise. Yes, she'd had Cassie go ALL OUT. "But you... oh dear LORD you look like sex on a stick." Yep. Nice, Bette. Considering her dad was likely nearby.
It was then, of course, that Daniel Portman let his presence be known by clearing his throat awkwardly, leaning against the living room doorframe. He... clearly didn't know where to look right now, talk about awkward parenting. "Sex on a stick?" he repeated, his Scottish accent still audible despite the fact that he'd lived in the country for well over a decade.
"Oh. CRAP. Um... Sorry, Dr. Dan." Aww. Bette was at least comfortable enough here now that she could be all 'pet name' with the other girl's father now... "Um... what I meant was that she looks very lovely, and we'll be sure to enjoy an innocent evening of board games and Disney movies."
Talia barely refrained from snorting with laughter when Bette said that, covering a hand over her face to pretend she sneezed.
"I... somewhat doubt that, but thank you for humouring me, Bette." Now, of course, was Dan's turn to blush. D'aw. Looked like Talia got her bashfulness from someone, huh?
"Thanks for letting us hang here tonight, Dr. Dan. I appreciate it. My 'parents' are home tonight and I think they still kind of think of me as a 10 year old who must be sheltered from everything." She rolled her eyes, kind of... stealing another little glance at Talia and her intensely hot outfit.
Dan had noticed the glance, although he pretended he hadn't. He smiled faintly, "You're welcome. Now why don't you two scamper off while I guard the door for small children?"
"Don't wait up!" Bette laughed with a wry grin, winking to the doctor. "On the bright side, if Skynet comes to be, your girl is TOTALLY under my protection."
"Skynet?" He blinked, taking a moment to make the connection. "Oh, I don't see that happening in the foreseeable future, but thank you, anyway." He really WAS one for words, wasn't he?
"I dont either. Just sayin'. When the revolution comes? She's good to go." Oh jeez... Bette...
"That's... the most bizaarly sweet thing I've ever heard anyone ever say," he admitted, blinking at Bette curiously.
Talia squeaked and took Bette's hand, "We'll be in my room. I promise we'll be quiet. I mean, not loud, I mean..." Aw, looks like someone was a little flustered, huh?
"Yeah. So... since you're wearing an EVA costume..." Oh no. Bette. Don't. Don't say it. Not now. Aw, dammit. "Let's go see how you do with an entry-plug." Facepalm.
Oh dear GOD, did Talia blush then. And she thought that SHE came up with some weird sexual comments. "I... uhh..." she stammered. Oh no, system failure!
