[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter had his St. George's cross flag close by as he waited impatiently for the match to begin.  England vs. Ecuador with continued participation in the World Cup at stake.

He had run down to J, GOB ostensibly to get some pastries to share for breakfast but really because he couldn't sit still any longer so there was a selection of muffins and doughnuts on one of the tables.

Now for the football to start...


[OOC:  Open to all!  Come cheer for England!  Or Ecuador if you must]

"Ugh! Don't remind me!" she said rolling her eyes.

"Hopefully Argentina will steamroll them on Friday," Peter said with a scowl. He turned back to the match on the television. "Shot over the bar THEN a yellow card? Come guys..."

"We was robbed I tell you robbed!" Pippi wailed melodramatically while pumping her fist at the sky.

Peter laughed and threw a piece of his muffin at her. "See, now it's time to watch the match on TV, Pippi. And England really needs to score soon!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi caught the bit of muffin in her mouth.

"Go England!" she said chewing. "... Um... What do you guys chant again?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"They're singing 'God Save the Queen' right now!" Peter said, pointing towards the TV. "Speaking of which...how'd that go for you?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" she said, "I can show you! ...Walter liked it, but he said the tune was delivered in an unusual way... But it was the only version of the tune I could fine."

She opened up her laptop and hit play on the footage Walter took of her at Caritas (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/924223.html?thread=36383039#t36383039).

Peter watched the footage with amazement and just a bit of shock. "That's...pretty impressive. What tune IS that?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"God Save the Queen..." she said. "By a band called 'The Sex Pistols'."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"The...Sex...Pistols...right," Peter said, still in a bit of shock. "I was afraid for a moment I forgot how the song goes." He grinned. "You don't do a thing by halves, do you?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Anything worth doing is worth doing all out."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Can't argue with that," Peter replied. "But next time? I'll teach you the right tune if you like."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh... There won't BE a next time me boyo." she grinned.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Maybe Rule Britannia then," Peter grinned back.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi grinned and clapped her hand on his shoulder.

"You're very Brittish my friend."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I take that as the highest of compliments," Peter replied with a wink.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't have it any other way."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter's attention was distracted by Conner for a second then GOAL! (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/676218.html?thread=43292538#t43292538)

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaal!"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Very well, lads, just hold on..."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Wastes time you Brits! Like ya do!"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"It's not wasting time!" Peter said. "It's a strategy! Defensive tactics and such."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Ah." she said, "They just make it look like their waiting time... Very cunning!"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Exactly. It throws the other team off their game," Peter said, grinning. "We're tricky ones, we British."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I thought you were gentlemen?"
