Third Floor Common Room, Friday night

As it turned out, Johnny did, in fact, know how to throw a party for someone 1) on his own and 2) without just stealing rum from squirrels and claiming that made it a party (what the hell, amnesiac him?).

There was food, there was space for presents, there were non-alcoholic drinks, there was music, and there was no porn in the DVD player, he checked because he did not want any surprises.

With all that set up, the quick sign he put up explained it all: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARA." Whether he didn't know or didn't care that he neglected where a comma should be was up for debate.

"Oooh," Mara said. "What can I buy with guy points? Is there an exchange rate? How many guy points do I need to get him to take the trash out?"

"He that big of a slob?" Flick wondered. "Maybe you should cash in the guy points to make him clean up his act. Can't imagine how a small room might handle too much trash. Ew."

"No, he's fine," Mara said, smiling. "I just don't want to take the trash out."

"Then yes, guy points should get him to take out the trash if that's what you want," Flick agreed. "I'd go with something bigger and better but maybe you've got simple tastes, right?"

"What should I ask for instead?" Mara replied.

"What do you want from him?" Flick wondered. "Anything specific?"

Mara blushed. "Nothing comes to mind..."

"And yet you're blushing," he said, snickering. "People don't tend to blush over nothing coming to mind."

"Nothing I'm going to share with you," Mara said airily. "Especially since you never mentioned Isabelle while out on our date...thing...together."

Smooth, Mara.

"Have you been keeping tabs on me?" Flick asked, more amusing than anything else. "Was I supposed to mention her or anyone else when I was with another girl?"

"It's on the radio," Mara said. "I'm not spying. And...yes. Unless you have an open relationship?"

Guess what a lot of Senators told Mara they had?

"Really?" Flick snickered a bit. "And I can't keep my relationships to myself? Isn't that my business?"

"Not when you're at a dating event, no," Mara said, narrowing her eyes at him.

Flick shrugged and didn't look too fussed with that change in her expression. "Pretty sure I wasn't the only one there who's been mentioned on radio with someone other than the person they were dating before."

He was being a jerk to be a jerk. Sorry, Mara.

"So you aren't dating her?"

Confused Mara was confused.

"We don't really call it that," Flick allowed. "I see her a lot, though. And even if I was dating her, going out and meeting new people and flirting isn't against the law."

"It is where I come from," Mara deadpanned.

"Is that right?" Flick twisted his lips. "Well, it's not here and I like flirting and meeting people. So, I signed up and had fun."

"I just didn't want to be accidentally making someone angry," Mara said.

Making them angry on purpose was a whole other thing.

"You're fine," Flick told her, shaking his head. "No one's gonna be mad. Relax."

Mara quirked her lips up. "Is that true or are you just trying to be nice at my party?"

"I'm always nice," Flick told her, smirking. "You'll learn that soon enough."

"You're not always nice," Mara said firmly, "but you're always yourself and that's better."

"I'm flattered," Flick told her, snickering. "I'm gonna go get out of the way and let you enjoy other people. Come find me if you get bored though. I'll be around."

Mara smiled at him. "I will. Thanks, Flick."
