Sunnydale AU: and nothing even blew up

Cal isn't sure which took longer: the speeches at the graduation ceremony, or the gathering his mother had planned after. At least the monotony of the party was broken up by Grahame's calmly stealing the spotlight to announce his new job with some law firm in LA.

Cal kind of has to admire his style there.

But, whatever, either way it's finally all over, and now he's pulling up in front of Tina's house to pick her up and head over to the Stark residence for the real party.

"That's not an answer."

What? It's not.

"It perfectly well is."
toblameforit: Thoughtful, perhaps mischievous. (+= pretend we're twins)

"If you're not, maybe you should be."

"I really like this kind," Tina says in a hopeful attempt to join in the conversation. This kind of thing isn't easy for her. "The beer, I mean."
toblameforit: Drinking orange juice from the carton. (+= endeavouring to make breakfast)

"Oh good," Tony says vaguely.

Cal turns a little to look at the beer in Tina's hand.

"I haven't tried that kind," he says.

Or - possibly he has, but doesn't remember. It all kinda tastes the same to him; he doesn't drink it enough to differentiate.

She starts peeling the label off. 'I really like this kind' - fascinating conversation, Tina. Great job.

"So do we want to do anything? Beer can pyramids? Twister?"

He has a job here, Cal reminds himself - he may not be host, but he is the one who brought Tina, and he needs to make sure she feels comfortable. He's not doing it very well right now.

He gives her a little squeeze, telling the others seriously,

"I did promise Tina a beer can pyramid."
toblameforit: Skeptical or questioning. (-= poking your head out of Baker Street)

"I don't even know if we have beer cans." He leans forward to look in the cooler. "Oh, yeah, we do."

"Maybe not enough for an epic pyramid. And I warn you - I was All-Fifth Grade Twister Champion. You don't want to mess with me."
toblameforit: Smiling affectionately or smugly. (*= recent successes)

"Was that a challenge? 'Cause it sounded like one." Tony grins. "Bring it."

"Uh, I think I left my Twister game in my other purse. But if you have one, go for it."

Her beer is nearly gone. Yay liquid courage.
