It really had been too long since he'd spent any amount of significant time with Chelsea, and it was something that Tommy intended to rectify immediately. He was definitely planning on joining her for her birthday, to welcome her into the quarter of a century club, but a little pre-birthday play date seemed like just what the doctor ordered. So they had set it up that they'd meet up in Central Park a couple hours before their Les Miserables rehearsal that afternoon, and Tommy was on his way there now, after having stopped to get a couple of slushies from the bodega four blocks down from his new apartment. One was for her, of course - he wasn't that big of a pig.
When he got to the park, he saw her sitting on a bench waiting for him - so he decided to do the thing that all boys did when they had an unsuspecting girl waiting for them. He decided to sneak up behind her and scare the ever-living daylights out of her. Never let it be said that Tommy Jacobsen wasn't a master of stealth - except that he really was totally awful and almost never did anything quietly. With the decided exception of sleeping. Yet somehow he did manage to make it all the way up behind her on the bench, but just when he was about to tap her on the shoulder and say boo, a squirrel dashed across his path, causing him to trip over himself and send the two slushies careening over the bench and out onto the pavement. "Son of a whore!" he cried out, as he watched the delicious things go to waste.
