RP: Happy Birthday
Who: Annalisa and Bryce Derrik
When: Friday, 11 September 2004 (BACKDATED)
Where: Mystery Spot
What: Annalisa takes Bryce on a surprise vacation for his birthday
Status: Closed
Rating: PG-13 for now

She'd instructed Bryce he was only allowed to work a half-day tops today. She'd even surprised herself by taking Friday off of practice just to make sure everything was going to be perfect for when they left. Annalisa had the gifts shrunk down and in her luggage as well as a bag packed for Bryce, and a portkey set for three p.m. She checked everything over three times just to be sure that she wasn't forgetting anything.

Birthdays were important to Annalisa, or at least Bryce's was. He'd never had the loving supportive family that she was raised with and that she came to expect others deserved and when it came to holidays, particularly one so personal as a birthday, she strived to make it everything she could. This year she'd been trying particularly hard though and she hoped and prayed that everything would go smoothly. (Although she had a feeling she was going to get in trouble for just how many gifts she'd bought.)

When she heard the floo flare to life she checked the clock. Half-hour before schedule. Perfect.

Anna pursed her lips and gave a small shrug/nod combo. "I guess that makes sense." When he told her that he'd hire a decent male secretary she beamed at him without exactly meaning to. "You rock," she assured him, giving him a quick kiss, though they both knew she was never going to seek out a replacement his secretary.

Seeing Bryce like this, laughing and smiling honest easy smiles made her swell. She loved seeing him this way. This was what bonded them, what her mother didn't see, what the tabloids didn't see. "That's the idea," she told him with her own smile.

As they came out on the other side of the portal they were standing in front of seaside cottage. It didn't look like much compared to Derrik Manor but she wasn't looking to impress him, not with this.

She smiled at him and took his hand to lead him into the house. It was fully furnished with nice, warm decor, and all of their bags were already waiting for them. "Welcome to your weekend off," she told him as she turned in his arms and kissed him quickly. Annalisa then led him through the place, giving a quick tour (she'd already visited while making plans) and made sure to end in the bedroom where there was a small stack of gifts on the foot of the bed.
