Game Night.
Kassi had helped Mac decide on a nice shirt, button deep blue, with nice dark jeans.

He showed up a few minutes early at the Baxter Building with their tickets and a small pot of Butterfly Ginger. He told the lady at the desk he was here to pick up Andrea.

	She smiled, blushed a little as programs governing autonomous responses were activated by her thought patterns. "These are excellent seats.' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Will do," Mac tells her with a smile as the game properly gets started. And Mac is a total bundle of energy, though he's too polite to get out of his seat and block the lady sitting behind him. Cheering and joyful laughter and "Neptune's Fist, did you see that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea let out a whoop of joy of her own. "That was tremendous!" she bubbled. "I cannot believe it!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The New York Knickerbockers are 11 points ahead at halftime. "I like it a little close," Mac admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-24 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"It is much more exciting that way," Andrea agrees. "All the more thrilling to tease their foes with the chance of success and then dash that victory from their hands." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-11-24 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"Exactly!" Mac says gleefully with a dramatically clenched fist. Then he just softens a little and sighs. "Gods, I wish they had some sort of New York Mutant Rec League or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yeah, definitely. Something for everybody who can't play at a regular school or college because their physiology makes it pointless; that'd be what I'd wanna see." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That could be awesome," Mac says, smiling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-24 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Her grin is a big one. "Then it must be done." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great. You talk to the FF; I'll talk to the Avengers. Maybe even call up my cousin on Alpha Flight and see if any of them are interested." "Say, um, did you get that stuff for the Maria Stark Foundation event?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did," she told him. "I was uncertain whether or not I would attend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, if I don't manage to completely humiliate myself the rest of the night, would you maybe want to go together?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-24 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Andrea smiled and took a calculated risk and took his hand in hers. "I would like that very much," she replied. "And you are doing most finely tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-11-24 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Mac smiles sheepishly. "Good to know." And then the game starts again. Mac'll hold onto that hand. A bit tightly once the Knicks start rapidly losing their lead. And the last few seconds of the game get Pretty Darn Tense. But when the winning free throws are achieved, he hugs Andrea gleefully without really thinking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea may not be human, but she certainly had the programming to stimulate anticipation and tenseness equal to one. She would admit, later, too, to having been caught up in the moment, for she too was cheering madly, and threw her arms around Mac. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2010-11-24 04:06 am UTC (link)
	And Mac thinks he's probably supposed to have a slightly awkward moment holding her -- noting how pressed close he is when they're still just getting to know each other -- but he's too happy to be bothered. When they part, he'll hold onto her hand again as they wait for the crowd to disperse some. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-11-24 04:53 am UTC (link)
	Andrea is quite happy to be holding his hand. "That was incredible! I felt for sure my fuel-pump would burst from anticipation!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
