Yo, girls! Got my first job next week, I'm gonna need a hand getting ready. Are you ready to get messy?

What? I'm supposed to leave the beach? Sorry, wrong girl.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

C'mon, I'm risking my neck here! Five minutes off the beach won't kill ya. You'll spend more time scraping me off the pavement if I screw up.

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

Bah! Your own fault, no? Don't screw up.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

I'll be your best friend...

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

Will there be buckets of coffee involved?

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Designated exclusively to you. There's also food, the Kellar twins, and that money I promised to pay you for doing this sort of thing. You know, so I can actually call myself an employer?

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

Meh, give me coffee and the beach and I am happy.

What are we going to be doing? Does it require I put pants on? Because I've been slowly trying to meld myself to the sand and putting shoes and pants on is going to throw me. I'll need more coffee.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

It does. I'll compensate you in coffee, promise.

It's pretty basic, a straight escape I'll need both of you for. I'm going into a wine barrel filled with water, hauled twelve stories up. Two minute time limit before the barrel drops. There's gonna be a safety line for me to hook into, obviously, but only after I escape the barrel.

You two gotta help me get in...the assistant gig. One of you's gonna pass me the pick I'll be using on the cuffs? But I want a safety measure in place should this thing go south. Question is, I gotta know just what kind of power you're packing.

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

Boo pants.

Oh. Real question time now.

Do you mean my preference to Duracel or Energizer, perhaps?

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

No, I mean what you can do. I saw it in Vegas, and I heard from the Kellars.

I know what you are, Dee...I know you're like the twins, like me. It's okay.

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

I don't know for sure. No one ever told me: This is what you can do, run with it. It just kind of happened. I wanted a doll and suddenly it was in my hand.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Truthfully, I'm actually new to this myself. I didn't even know what I was until my power manifested itself. I know more now, though, a lot more.

What's the biggest thing you've ever done?

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

Costas. But not like that, ew he's my brother. And he was in Greece. And then I got homesick?

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Wow...and I thought the elephant was good.

Okay then. I'm gonna work with you on this, but basically? If I can't get out in time, I want you to keep me from falling. However you can. Trust me, it can be done.

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to say this again after this, but I don't like the idea of you falling. So don't.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Trust me, babe, no one does. And honestly? I've done way worse in my life.

So...now that I got you on board? I guess I can admit to the training I'm doing poolside at my buddy Dog's place. If you wanna work some with me, you can haul your bathing suit off the beach and into the pool. And for what it's worth, the Kellar boys will be there, they're helping me train.

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

Pool! I suppose I can do that.

... And, for what it's worth, Teddy is the one with the butterflies around Mike, not me.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Jay's gonna be there, too.

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

I picked that up from the plural of Kellar boys.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

So? He likes you, babe!

[its-phonetic.livejournal.com]

He doesn't even know me.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

So? And that stops him from being interested? You're a good looking girl, man's got eyes. And they're falling out of his damn head, you should have seen him yesterday afternoon.

Are you going to elaborate or wait for me to pull your hair and make you?
