IKEA trip, Tuesday daytime

[chasingangela]

Bundled up against the grey January mist, Angela sits in the second floor common room and
waits for people to join her.

She is really looking forward to some time off-island, she thinks, as she checks her

"Yes, at the enterance? With all the candy and stuff? They sold coffee too. ...You can't have any," he informed her. "If we get lost amidst the aisles I'll need it myself, because I didn't bring my emergency box."

Rory continued to look very sad and pitiful.

"Meanie," she muttered.

Parker bumped her shoulder. "There has to be coffee here somewhere, if we're having lunch. Why didn't you bring your own?" she added.

Re: Shopping!

"Had some before I left. Didn't think to bring it with me," Rory whined.

"Not my fault, that." Jake stuck his tongue out at her in a platonic, sibling-like way, omg.

Re: Shopping!

Rory, being the mature young woman she is, returned the gesture. "Didn't say it was, meanie."

"You are a sad, sad case, Gilmore." Parker shook her head. "Let's get you some caffiene (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/348518.html?thread=13488486#t13488486) before you make any shopping misjudgements. Ot steal Jake's. That would wrong."

Rory bounced off, bought some coffee (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/348518.html?thread=13543270#t13543270), and returned triumphantly.

"Yay! Coffee! All is well."

Re: Shopping!

"You frighten me. You really do." Parker grinned. "Hey, I heard your mom is having a baby? Another little caffiene addict to cheer the world?"

Re: Shopping!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yup," Rory said happily. "Mom's pregnant. I get to name the baby. Marty thinks it should be 'Barista.'"

"Blank's so warped." Parker shook her head. "When is she due? And congratulations, and all that. More family is great."

"July, I think. And yeah, I'm happy. It'll be nice to have a little brother or sister who I actually get to see," Rory smiled.

Re: Shopping!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker frowned, then nodded. "I forgot, you have a little sister. How old is she now? Two, or three?"

Re: Shopping!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Less than a year," Rory laughed. "But I never see her. One of these days I ought to take a roadtrip and go see my dad and Sherry and Gigi."

Re: Shopping!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Where do they live? Is it a day trip, or longer?" Parker turned to look at one of the rugs, (http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?topcategoryId=15594&catalogId=10103&storeId=12&productId=55243&langId=-1&parentCats=15594*16206) and shook her head. "Okay, never in this life will I buy anything like that, for me or anyone else."

Re: Shopping!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory blinked at the rug. "Colorful and abstract," she said diplomatically. "And they live in Hartford. I made the drive from my grandparents' house there in a day or so. Not too long a trip. But then again...this is my driving we're talking about."

Re: Shopping!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Heh. I haven't seen you drive. We really should get a road-trip going, sometime this semester. Maybe spring break?" Parker looked thoughtful. "Then again, I was telling Alanna I'd kidnap her early this summer, so she gets *some* sun in before she goes back to Castle Dreadful. We could always do that."

She wandered over to the beds, and looked over miles and miles of bedding. "This is like a very surreal textile-based dream."

Re: Shopping!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"That'd be fun," Rory agreed. She gazed at the bedding. "There is much with the bed stuff here. Maybe this is like the 'beyond' they refer to in Bed, Bath and Beyond."

Re: Shopping!

[chasingangela]

"It's insane," Angela agrees. "And it's all so .... shiny and crisp and white."

She sounds a little dizzy, then blinks as if shaking herself out of it. "What do you guys think of this bedspread?"

Re: Shopping!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory tilts her head. "Pretty. I like the pattern. And blue is good for sleep patterns."

Re: Shopping!

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake stopped hiding behind Parker and beamed back at her. "Awesome!"

Re: Shopping!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory beamed back. "Indeed it is, meanie."

Re: Shopping!

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Oh, pillows!" Jake exclaimed suddenly, heading off, but not before commenting, "I think Barista is a lovely name for a girl. Or Mocca."

Re: Shopping!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"But what if it's a boy?" Rory called after him.

That's easy. Espresso.
