After a little more whining and complaining from Sal and Murr, we finally made it to the ice rink. I noticed Q stayed right by my side the whole time. I could feel the butterflies forming. This was dream-level ecstacy I was feeling right now.
We rented skates and slipped onto the ice. Only a few minutes passed before we heard a teen girl voice scream "LARRRY! LARRY! OHMYGODGUYSLOOKWHOITIS!"
Q nudged me. "Remember what I said earlier about girls being crazy gaga over us? There's exhibit A for ya."
Three blonde teenage girls were leaning over the wall of the ice skating rink, frantically waving at the guys. "Q! Sal! Come here! Please! I love you so much! Murr! Joe!"
Q looked at me apologetically. "I'm really sorry. Give us a minute?"
They skated off and took turns posing with the girls. Sal put his arm around their shoulder (like he had with me). Q did the same. I was a bit surprised. (and a bit relieved). After they finished, the guys skated back to me. "Hello again" Sal joked. I opened my eyes wide and began to giggle "OH MY GOD IT"S JA'CRISPY! AND Q AND JOE AND MURR. PLEASE, ALL FOUR OF YOU MARRY ME AND BE MINE FOREVER!" The teenagers were still close enough to hear my impression, and flipped me off as they left.
"I think they heard you." Murr commented.
Sal cracked up, and of course, fell on the ice. "Agh! Cold! Son of a! Somebody, help me up."
Joe and Q grabbed Sal and pulled him to his feet. "Ok, I've had enough of this. No more skating. I'm pretty sure I just got ice in my pants. I'm done."
We all left the ice rink, Sal still complaining about his wet pants. We headed towards Old Navy and Sal went inside. The rest of us followed.
I had nothing specific to look for, so I tagged along after Murr, Joe, and Q. We passed a section of superhero tee-shirts, and both Q and Murr started sorting through the piles.
Q held up a Captain America shirt to the mirror. He studied his reflection, then turned to me. "What do you think?'
"Honestly, not a Captain fan. Also, you might want to look behind you. "
Q turned around. Murr was standing at another mirror, holding the same shirt up to his chest."This looks so cool."
Q turned back to me. " Good point." He put the shirt back.
Sal and Joe reappeared just then, Sal dressed in new shorts. "Ok, I'm set, let's go."
We headed out .
