[Second Floor CR, Saturday Evening, AFTER-GAME PARTY]

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

After the game, the second floor common room could be found bedecked with gold and blue streamers and a banner hanging on one wall that said "GO GREMLINS" in large letters.

There were also set up tables with food and drink so handwavily set up by the cheerleaders and a stereo playing the cheerleaders' practice music mix at an acceptable volume.

It was a victory party! No matter who won.

Peter laughed. "You're horrible. You don't that, don't you?"

"Yes." she said sweetly.

"As long as you're aware," Peter said with a grin. "So, Tuesday, 3pm, the Common Room and a national battle?"

"Oh I wouldn't miss it for the world... We need to shut you all down for a 38th time Beckham or no!"

"You can try," Peter said. "But England still won the Group. Two goals in the last ten minutes the other day? I think we'll be fine."

"Ya." she replied, "You keep telling yourself that my Limey friend. And maybe someday? It'll even be true."

*sip*

"But not this year."

"First you call me a cockney and now a Limey!" Peter said. "There need to be some good Swedish insults to throw down. And yes, this year."

"Well you've had 38 years to figure one out and all you've come up with is 'Those people who keep trouncing us'!" she said. "And funny, but I'm not insulted by that... And if you're so sure perhaps you'd like to wager on it then?"

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I've not had 38 years," Peter pointed out. "For me, those years barely exist. So using that argument? Not really the way to go. But certainly, a wager then. You're the pirate, you name the stakes."

"Hmmm..." she thought for a moment. "Looser wears the winner's flag for the whole of the next day. Just the flag... And a smile."

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I don't think that would be appropriate for school," Peter said. "The flag and one's regular clothes. I'd think wearing the flag of the victor would be humiliation enough."

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh okay." she said with mock disgust. It may or may not be obvious that she just added the last bit to make the wearing the flag thing more acceptable.

Shrewd one that Pippi.

"I hope you like the Union Jack," Peter grinned. "You'll be seeing a lot of it next week."

He held out his hand to shake on the bet.

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

"We already know Blue is your color." she said shaking his hand (gently). "I'm sure the yellow won't make you look very jaundiced."

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure it won't be a problem," Peter said with a wink.

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad you're ready to accept your fate."

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"The fate I'd worry about," Peter said. "Is that of the Swedish team on Tuesday when they face the jack tars of Britain!"

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi may have yawned at that.

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Yawn now," Peter said. "Do you have any workshops on Wednesday?"

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Not a one." she said, "But should Hadies freeze over I'll be sure to get out and about. Do you?"

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Karate in the morning," Peter said with a grin. "It's midsummer though so who knows what will occur." He laughed. "You say that Hades has to freeze over, but did you realise they were playing on midsummer's eve?"

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi doesn't shutter at the mention of "Midsummer" for other reasons completely unrelated thank you very much.

Except that she does.

"... So?" she asks trying to drop back into that casual cockyness she had going so well.

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter cocked his head at Pippi's change in demeanor. Too British to ask about it, he said tried to blow past it with a shrug and "you know, fairy stories and the like."

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that doesn't really help. But she manages to laugh it off.

"Not even the fairies can save you now Pete."

Re: Tables of Food and Drink

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Well, of course it doesn't help since Peter has no idea what's wrong. ;)

"It's not fairies I look to for my saving," he replied.
