Where:Rene's house, and then out for a trip
Rating/Warnings: Maybe some language, nothing naughty.
Status: WIP

Idly flipping channels, Rene sat in the family room while she waited for Mark to come over. Finally she found an old episode of Mystery!, relieved that neither of the Spencers were there to spoil the who done it, she settled in. Keeping her mind on the mystery was proving to be difficult. It was an old Hercule Poirot, and while she loved watching the fastidious Belgian, her thoughts were busy grumbling at Shawn Spencer, Major Douchebag. She had been mean, she apologized, and he was a complete asshole in response. Even to the offer of smoothies. At least Shawn was making it really easy to get over the most annoying crush in the world. Shaking her head, she turned off the entertainment system when she heard the door bell ring, and padded downstairs. Smiling, she opened the door and batted her eyes at Mark. "Thank goodness you're here! The Evil Spoon has been on a complete campaign of terror."

Mark was getting used to this whole "flying, then walking a block" thing. It was less fun when he couldn't wear his costume, but c'est la vie, such was the life of a superhero. There was always next Halloween! He pondered what they could do after "defeating the evil spoon" and decided he'd take Rene out for smoothies. That, he decided, was a great idea.

When he got to the door, he considered knocking but decided to ring the bell, in case she was somewhere too far away to hear the knocks. Then he just stuffed his hands in his pockets and waited. "Well," he said, after her comment about the spoon, "take me to it! I'll distract it with a manly display of superpowers, you rescue the weeping pies!" He was intentionally speaking in an almost Dudley Do Right voice for maximum comic effect.

	Rene bit her lip while she tried to keep a straight face. "You are so manly and your superpowers astound me!" She ushered him in and gave him a big hug before cracking a smile, "Ok, I lied a bit. The evil spoon has lost its powers, the pies are ours for the taking. Particularly the apple. Conchita recommends it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mark returned the hug, and when they parted he kept his arm around her waist loosely. "Well clearly," he said, still using the exaggerated voice, "the spoon was frightened off by the idea of fighting me!" He even put his free hand to his hip for a second, before finally breaking into laughter. "Okay, okay, I can't keep that up with a straight face anymore." He considered it a moment before nodding. "Well then, let's go get us the spoils of war, eh? The apple pie sounds delicious!"

	Rene nodded eagerly, but broke down laughing with Mark. "I must say, that is an excellent superhero impersonation. If I were the spoon, I'd be scared." She lead him to the kitchen and pointed at the innocent looking pie on the counter. "Would you like a slice now? or shall we take the whole thing hostage?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mark pondered that a moment, cocking his head to the side. "Y'know what, let's take the whole thing hostage." He smiled and gestured in the general direction of the nearest good smoothie place. "Let's go get some delicious smoothies to go with the pie. What could be better than delicious pie, if not delicious smoothies to go with it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rene was going to pick up the pie when Mark mentioned smoothies. Thinking about her recent apology to Shawn that coincided with an offer of pineapple smoothies, she frowned slightly before nodding. "Sure. That sounds okay." Tucking her hair behind her ear, she patted her pockets in search of car keys. "Are you going to drive or me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mark blinked, turning to look at her fully. Her whole attitude seemed to have changed at the mention of smoothies. Maybe this hadn't been such a good idea... "Uh, or we don't have to. If you don't want to, I mean." He didn't want to come across as overly worrying, so he didn't just come out and ask her what was wrong, but he was hoping his comments would bring out an explanation. If not, he would have to ask.

	Shrugging, she shook her head. "It's just something really stupid, but yeah. Smoothies sound good." Rene smiled softly and pulled her car keys off the hook and twirled them around her finger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mark's brow furrowed and he squinted his eyes, peering at her curiously. "No, seriously. What's wrong?" He put one hand on her shoulder, the other on her other arm. "C'mon, don't shut me out. I'm your boyfriend, you're supposed to be able to talk to me about stuff." He smiled and made sure to keep eye contact with her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rene paused for a moment, before blurting out, "It really is stupid and I'll be over it in like a day or two. But I said something mean to Shawn, and I apologized for it and offered him a make-up smoothie, and he said it wasn't necessary, and so I said I wanted to spend time with him, because he is my friend, and he gave me all this attitude about it."

	Mark sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, okay, that's sort of doughebaggy of him." He thew an arm around her shoulders and nodded towards the door. "C'mon." He grinned. "Let's go get smoothies to spite him." He dropped a kiss on her temple to try and comfort her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	computerqueen 2008-11-13 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, exactly. It was douchebaggy of him." She slid her arm around waist and hugged him for a moment before leaning back and smiling, "Yeah. Let's go, boyfriend." She grinned at the warm, fuzzy sensation in her stomach at getting to use the bf word. "Do you actually have a car? Or am I driving?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iminvincible 2008-11-13 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't actually have a car," he admitted with a laugh. "But I will pay you gas moneys!" He grinned and held out his arm. "Let's go, girlfriend." He pointed his hand outwards, his chin tilting up. "To adventure! And smoothies!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rene giggled and shook her head. "I don't pay my own gas moneys, so you can just owe me a smoothie." She hit him lightly in the stomach with the back of her hand and grabbed her purse off the counter. "Oh, you superheroes, you just get whipped into a frenzy for smoothies, don't you?"

Leading him out to the garage, she turned on her car and lowered the top. "I think the weather's nice enough for a breeze, don't you?"

Mark laughed and caught her hand, lifting it to his lips and dropping a kiss on her knuckles. "One smoothie. Got it." He lowered their arms back into their original position, keeping his fingers interlaced with hers. "Smoothies: The drink of superheroes! Or at least that's what it said on my imaginary endorsement paycheck," he laughed.

"Yeah, it's not too bad." He smiled and opened the door for her, like a proper superheroic gentleman.

Wrinkling her nose, Rene laughed lightly, "They have to advertise on your imaginary paychecks? That's so sad. But I guess when the big corporations are paying you to keep America safe for consumerism and capitalism there is no end to getting money from advertisers." She thanked him for opening her door for her and slid in, starting the car and opened the garage door before buckling in. She waited for Mark to get in, before she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. Yup, Mark was totally winning the best boyfriend award. Rene smiled and slid her sunglasses onto her face before backing the car out onto the street and heading to the smoothie place.
