The Night Before Life Goes On
Anya was glad to get into a daily routine and be back in classes again. Summer classes had started on the 9th and Anya couldn’t have been happier. Classes and school were parts of The Plan and steps to running Stark Inc one day. A year ago it would have been the only thing she wanted in life, but now it was one of two things she wanted in life. The only other thing she wanted in life was graduating today.

While she was starting classes again, Steve was just finishing high school. As soon as her Friday classes were over she donned her suit and rocked off to New York for Steve’s graduation ceremonies. It was a mad dash into the condo and into a dress. Quick job on her hair and makeup and she climbed into the car with the family.

Anya had attended with her parents, James and Steve’s parents. She was so proud of him. She knew he could do it even when he thought he couldn’t do it. She believed in him even when he didn’t believe in himself. Impatiently she waited for his name to be called.

Tomorrow she'd give him his graduation gift. She couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he got it. Patience was not a strong suit of Anya's.

	Depending upon the day, Steve could be an early riser. He'd taken to early morning workouts, especially since he'd hooked up with the team and all. And here he was now. "You ready to show me this surprise, Gorgeous?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You bet I am," she said with a grin. "I've been looking forward to this for quite some time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Somebody remind him again what he'd done to deserve a girl like this? Because he never could quite figure that one out. "Well then," he said, grinning, "lead the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"With pleasure," she said and then kissed him before leading him out the door. Twenty minutes later the Harley Panhead pulled up outside of a movie theater. Anya climbed off, took off her helmet and tucked it under her arm. She was all smiles as she waited for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve's own ride might not have been quite as impressive as Anya's, but it still got him there. "Beat me here," he said. "I'm a little jealous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can't help it I'm a better driver," she said with a smirk. She tilted her head. "Why?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thought cars were my thing," he said with a grin. "Though I don't much mind coming in second to you." He smiled more. "The view from behind you's pretty nice, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-06-13 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Cars are your thing, I just like to drive fast. It's genetic." She smiled and kissed him. "Yeah? You think so? How about later I give you all the views you want?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve grinned when they broke away from the kiss. "I know so," he told her. "I like the sound of that a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"After your gift," she said. "Come on." She tugged his hand to get him inside of the theater. "Someone is waiting for us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-14 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Someone?" Steve asked, curious, letting himself be tugged and then following along cheerfully. Just what the heck had she planned? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I know how you love watching movies with commentaries," she said as she led him inside, "and seeing how your favorite movie of all time doesn't have a commentary feature on it...well I figured you should be able to watch it at least once with the director's commentary, so...."

They stopped before the door to the theater where a very famous face greeted them.

"Steve Barton, meet Mel Brooks. Mel, this is Steve, the guy I've been telling you about and the one who thinks Robin Hood Men In Tights is the single best movie ever made."

	Very few times in his life has Steve ever been truly struck speechless. His jaw dropped and his mouth worked, but no sound came out. Finally, he managed to get himself together. "Excuse me for one second, Mr. Brooks." Anya? Getting one of the biggest kisses and hugs of her life right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya was out of breath when Steve finally let her up for air from the kiss. Her face was a little red, but there was a smile on her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Barton, please call me Mel." He offered a hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-14 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Best girlfriend ever," Steve told Anya. "Thank-you." He was shaking Mel Brooks' hand. He was shaking Mel Brooks's hand. "It's a pleasure, Mister Br...er, Mel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You totally deserve it. I am /so/ proud of you." Anya was beaming. "Now, gentlemen, we have a movie to watch and dinner should have been delivered by now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-06-14 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"Miss Stark is correct. We have a movie to watch and I am honored that you think it's the greatest movie of all time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-15 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"It is, Mel," Steve said. "It is." He'd said it before and he'd say it again. Life. Was. Good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-06-15 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Anya smiled and put her arm around Steve's waist as they walked into the theater. Life. Was. Good. (Reply to this)(Parent)
