Getting away for a bit

[Frostbite]

Lorelai, wanting to get away from the library after feeling sort of overwhelmed after so many people had joined her, walked into the rec room and looked around for a second. She hadn't been in there before and she smirked a bit whenShe she found a couch and a tv among other things. Walking kind of slowly to the couch, she plopped herself down near an arm with a sigh and looked for the remote to the tv and switched it on, flipping to one of her favorite cartoon channels.

While commercials flashed for a few minutes, she basked in being alone. She hadn't minded making more friends and meeting new people, but because they kept coming surprised her a bit, and then overlapping conversations began confusing her. Of course, she was happy when Ian came, things weren't as bad then, but still there were a lot of people. She sighed again as she shook the thoughts off and leaned back into the couch as a show she liked came on. As she got more relaxed she could feel her head slowly tilt off to the side.

After Ian left the kitchen, he decided to complete his lazy day by watching some TV. The fact that this school had a big screen was a major perk. His friend Eric from back home had one like it and they used to watch all the big games and competitions on it as well as spend hours playing video games on it. Big screens were totally knarly.

He saw the his favorite blue haired girl was on the couch and Ian brightened instantly. Lorelai was a lot of fun and she was always so straight out with him and didn't play around with these silly games that girls play and he appreciated that. He considered Lorelai the less confusing of the female species.

Ian sneaked up behind the couch and then very randomly and suddenly, he jumped over and landed right next to Lorelai. "Well its my lucky day, I found the Pipsqueek again!" he said with a laugh.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai laughed lightly at the cartoon that she was watching; it was something she'd seen before but it still made her laugh. She shook her head quietly in the absurdity of the show, and continued relaxing into the couch when she heard something behind her and then when she turned her head she felt her stomach lurch, but in a good way, to see Ian next to her. She heard him and smirked with a laugh, "Seems like you did," she laughed, feeling comfortable enough to lean over and rest her head on his shoulder.

Thinking for a minute, she lifted her head and looked at him with a smirk, "Pipsqueek? That my new codename?" she asked with a laugh, shaking her head again as she rolled her eyes and leant her head back against the couch. "So how'd you manage to find me?" she asked with another laugh, turning her head towards him.

[Diesel]

Ian on impulse wrapped his arm around her shoulder and watched the cartoon she chose. He laughed at a funny part. "Nice choice in cartoons babe. And Pipsqueek suits you better I think,"he teased a bit. "Sides babe, no one else in this place calls you that. Means your a special chick," Ian added with a wink as he poked her stomach with his free hand.

"And you're a funny little wide load," he said with a large smirk, anticipating to be smacked or something along the lines. He was just waiting for it. But that's okay its not like she could hurt him anyways and he could always just toss her around. She was fun like that.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai smirked a bit as Ian put his arm around her and commented on her choice of cartoons. "Thanks," she said, and rolled her eyes at his light teasing, "Oh right, right," she laughed, and then nodded, "If you say so," she said, and squirmed a bit, laughing as he poked her. At his next comment, her mouth dropped open and a mock-annoyed face replaced the smirk and she gave him the evil eye. "Trying to say I'm fat?" she asked, letting her hand grow cold before she hit him hard on the shoulder.

She huffed quietly and moved herself away from him with a smirk. "You're a big ape," she retorted playfully, sticking her tongue out at him and crossing her arms over her chest.

[Diesel]

The hit felt like nothing to Ian but he sure felt the cold. "Oh going cold on me babe? And here I thought you were all warm for me?" he said with a laugh and a wink. He reached out his large hand and grabbed her by the waist, gently lifting her up and across his lap. He sat her down so her legs were across his lap and she sat sideways next. to him. "See babe I was teasing. You're light as a feather," he said tickling her sides a bit.

"And admit it babe, if I'm an ape, that makes you the female Tarzan since you communicate with them so well," he said laughing as he poked her stomach again. "You like chilling with the monkeys huh? You should start wearing a little lepoard skin. You know for effect and all," he said with a wink and another loud laugh.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai smirked as he felt the cold though not her hit, and laughed at his comment, "Oh, is that what you thought? Maybe," she laughed, biting her lip as she was effortlessly lifted up again by him and placed sideways on his lap. She rolled her eyes as he said she was light, and couldn't help laughing with a squirm as he tickled her sides.

She rolled her eyes again when he spoke about being an ape and laughed, "Hey, I never denied it, and what can I say? I like apes, well at least this one ape that likes throwing me around and calling me Pipsqueek all the time," she said, looking off to the side a bit and let out another laugh. She turned back to him as he mentioned leopard skins and made a face at him. "You soo wish," she said, smirking widely.

[Diesel]

"Of course I wish babe, in fact I think lepoard skin would suit you perfectly. You should try it sometime you know, just to see if I'm right and all," Ian said with a wink as he comfortably slid and arm around her waist. "And you better be careful babe, your boyfriend might get jealous that your hanging around this giant ape," he teased thinking about how taken that Riker guy was to her. It still made him feel a bit odd when he thought they were together. He wasn't sure why though.

Ian looked outside and saw that the snow had increased and the ground was covered with a big sparkling white blanket of snow. It must be around five feet deep! "Whoa babe! Check out the snow! I never seen it like that back in Cali! Radical man!" He exclaimed in fascination.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai couldn't help rolling her eyes at Ian, "Keep dreaming boy," she laughed, her eyes quickly flashing to her middle as she felt him slide an arm around her waist, more aware for some reason, but she quickly looked back up at him as he spoke again. "Oh? Boyfriend?" she asked, slightly confused; last she checked she was single. "I don't have a boyfriend," she said, looking at him partially confused by what he meant, though she did have an idea who she'd want.

At Ian's reaction toward the snow, she was unable to hold back a laugh. Snow was nothing new to her, since she had lived in Boston all her life. "Yeah, there's a lot of snow out there," she said, laughing at his reaction, remembering that he did indeed come from California where it never snows. "It can be a lot of fun, believe me, I've made many a snow angel in my day," she laughed, "Only downside to snow is the shovelling and when it freezes," she laughed again, smirking at the freezing bit.

[Diesel]

Ian laughed and tickled her waist a bit. "Aw come on Pipsqueek, you can't tell me you didn't see how wolf boy was blown away by you. The minute he thought you were my girl he got all flustered and backed off. Sorry I blew your game," he said with a laugh. Whether he was really sorry or not was another question. But he didn't feel like answering that one.

"Aw well I can shovel the snow in a beat. Got the guns for it," Ian said with a laugh as he flexed his large arm. "Want to go out in the snow? It looks totally knarly and I promised my buddy Eric I'd go out there for him, wanna join your ape friend?" he asked with a wink.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai laughed again as Ian tickled her waist again, and looked at him skeptically but was thoughtful, "I thought I saw something, but I don't like him like that, he's just my friend," she said, looking at him. "You didn't blow anything," she said, tilting her head slightly, looking off to the side a bit, and then back at him.

She laughed as he flexed his arm and nodded, "That'll come in handy, you can do all the shoveling then," she said, laughing a bit. Glancing out at the window as he asked if she wanted to go out in the snow, she bit her lip and smiled, "Sure, sounds fun," she said, letting out a giggle at the thought of going to play in the snow, "Yes, I'll join my ape friend," she said, rolling her eyes at him and smirking. "Are you going to bundle up? It's got to be cold out there," she said, keeping her smirk since she knew she didn't have to; the cold was nothing to her.

[Diesel]

Ian leapt up, still holding Lorelai tightly and gave a whoop of cheer. "AWESOME! Yea I gotta get dressed! Oh man snow this is so awesome! Babe! We gonna have a blast I even got a set of winter clothes just for this!" he said excitedly as he set Lorelai on her feet. He looked down at his wifebeater and sweatpants and knew his hair must still be all over the place from sleep.

"I'll be ready in a bit babe. How long you gonna be? Not long I wanna get out there as soon as we can," he said excitedly, itching to go up and change into his clothes.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai burst out laughing as Ian jumped up excitedly even as he still held under his arm. His enthusiasm cracked her up and held her sides as he put her down. "Wow, Ian, wow," she managed to get out in between laughs. She rolled her eyes as he asked how long it would take her and shook her head, "I won't be long, maybe I'll put on a light coat or something. Remember, the cold doesn't have an effect on me, so go get ready, I'll meet you outside or I can wait here, either way, it doesn't matter," she said, smirking at him.

[Diesel]

Ian hugged Lorelai quickly. "Aw you are AWESOME babe," he said, "Just meet me outside and I promise I wont keep you waiting long. I get to wear winter clothes for the FIRST time! Radical man!" he exclaimed as he turned and ran out of the rec room to go to the dorms so he could change into his new clothes and play out in the snow like they do in the movies. He always wondered what it felt like to play in the snow.

Now was his chance to find out.
