Nodding, Jennifer took the glass of wine from John and smiled. "Good idea. I'm pretty hungry anyway. A bowl of popcorn isn't a good lunch," she said with a small laugh. She took a drink of the wine, and sat the glass to the side before looking to see what John got.
"Oh! Chicken! I love chicken," she said with a grin. She then laughed as she put a piece on her plate, along with some of the fixings John had gotten. "The first time I ever went to Earth was when I was nine. My mom didn't know how her family would react to her marrying an...alien. Anyway, we went to Wisconsin, and my uncle managed a place that sold chicken so he brought some for the family dinner. It was the first time I had ever had chicken, and before anyone could stop me, I had eaten some of the bones. Ended up being taken to the local hospital. The ER doctor was so excited when they did a blood test, and saw I had a lot more "alien" DNA than human. Anyway, despite all of that, I still love chicken."
Looking down, Jennifer softly blushed before looking at John again. "I promise not to eat the bones this time," she said with a soft laugh. She looked down again and took a small bite of her salad.
"You know, the annual summer dance on Neo is in a couple of weeks, and my parents really want me to be there. Do you want to come with me? It's nothing formal, and a lot of people from Poseidon will be there, too," she said as she looked up at him again.
