So maybe it was a last minute thing, but Boo was bored, and it had been a while since he'd seen Alice. A while was really only about two weeks or so, but he really was starting to like having her around, so he was disappointed that their schedules clashed a little. Yeah, that's right. Disappointed. Because he liked her. A lot. Was that so weird?

Anyway, his intention was to take her to a baseball game that evening, but since he hadn't exactly planned ahead, and all the good seats were taken, they'd settled for the next best thing: an evening at a crowded sports bar near Yankee stadium. It wasn't romantic or anything, but it was fun, and frankly, before he had to ultimately introduce her to his siblings, he wanted to know if she could hang. It was kind of important.

So there they were, a couple beers and several innings in. And not really watching the game, because it was somewhat difficult to see with the crowd in the way. The place was packed, but Boo had managed to get Alice a seat at the bar. Unfortunately, he'd given his up to a middle aged woman in a jersey with flaking face paint and a loud laugh. He was standing in between them and while he was a little squished, he was having a pretty good time.

He was in the middle of ordering another round when it dawned on him, "You know," Boo had to project a little over that lady's cackle, "I think this is the first time I've been out without Scout or Gem in a year." It was a strange fact to admit, but it had just struck him, and he felt the need to share. "It's nice," he added.

	Something nice, huh? Boo watched her eyes drop to his mouth and his grin broadened. He could take a hint. She was a little less shy than before when they'd first met and he was starting to like it. He closed the small, teasing gap between them witha soft kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Caleb was bored...really bored. Sure finding out his radius had been extended to forty blocks from his past twenty, but there wasn't anything more interesting in those forty blocks than he had in his twenty. So he was stuck just wandering around trying to find some place to hang out.

Apparently a game was happening tonight so most people were at the stadium, at home or...at a sports bar...of course. He saw the name of one of them a few paces in front of him. Sure he wasn't a huge sports fan but they had beer and people there...so it would sate his boredom for a time. Maybe he might meet a cute girl there.

It was packed in there however it must have been his big brother senses that made his eyes land on his baby sister...with a guy. Caleb narrowed his eyes and surveyed the two of them, not choosing to bust in without a clear idea of what kind of guy this was. She had mentioned having a 'him' friend and they looked platonic enough. Yeah he was perfectly inn...o....Oh Hell NO!

The minute that scumbag put his lips on his baby sister all thoughts of this guy being innocent flew out the window. Forcing his way through the crowd he made his way over. He put a hand forcefully on Boo's shoulder and ripped him away from Alice. He then put himself between the two of them,

"Take your hands off my baby sister." He had to hold back slugging the guy. He knew his extension could be taken back if he caused the guy any physical harm. So he thought it was best their leave. Taking Alice's wrist in his hand he made a move to start to the door, "Let's go Alice."

	"Er. Well, one of them. I have two, but Tommy's much... better." More normal. Or at least considerably less in your face about things. Alice was certainly more similar to he than to Caleb. "And younger," she added, as if that somehow helped things. She hesitated, feeling awkward, before blurting out, "I'm so sorry. You're not angry with me, are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alice blushed. "I don't know- because my brother made a huge scene and ruined our date when he threatened to punch you and tried to drag me out the door?" she offered, grimacing a little at the confession. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I- well- sort of? By proxy?" A sheepish smile dared to form on her lips. "So... you're not mad?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Boo gave a small shrug. He crossed his arms and leaned up against the bar, "Not really. I mean. I guess it could have been worse. I don't think he and I are going to be real good friends." And yeah, okay, he still had an urge to knock a few of his teeth out, but frankly, he was proud of his own self control. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
