Nikki: I think I'll pass.

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:57 pm

Gabe: Well...shall we go home or...did you want to hang out in L.A. a little more?

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:58 pm

Nikki: Did you have anything else planned... besides the "drink"?

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 6:01 pm

Gabe: Well, we could go catch dinner and a show...or walk around the park....

....or go skydiving...

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 6:03 pm

Nikki looks amused.

Nikki: Were you suggesting for us to do... normal things?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:44 am

Gabe: Meh, those were red herrings. I know you'd take skydiving....

...unless you actually want to have lunch in the park...showing off your ring and such.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:51 am

Nikki: Nothing says we can't do it all, right?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:52 am

Gabe thinks for a moment and smiles....

Gabe: Damn, you're right. We can. Smile

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 8:58 am

Walking out of the store, Nikki admires her ring in the sunlight.

Nikki: So, where to first?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 9:13 am

Gabe puts his arm around her waist...

Gabe: How 'bout some lunch, yeah?

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 9:17 am

Nikki chuckles.

Nikki: Didn't we just have pizza?

Her stomach growls.

Nikki: Wait... how long ago was that?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 6:45 pm

Gabe: Easily three hours ago, hon. I could really go for some mexican food, if you're up for it.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 6:49 pm

Nikki: That sounds good.

Her stomach growls again.

Nikki: ... really good.

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 6:55 pm

Gabe laughs...

Gabe: Well, then...right this way. I've got a spot I love going to.

They jump in the car and head towards downtown L.A. On the way, Gabe checks his phone...

Gabe: ....Well, looks like they're just off the 405 today....cool, it's close.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 6:56 pm

Nikki: Just off the 405... they move?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:02 pm

Gabe: Yeah...oh that's right! They don't have food trucks over in Europe. Well, this is one of the best. I eat here all the time...here...

Gabe hands Nikki his phone and she sees the website...

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:05 pm

Nikki: I thought you said you wanted Mexican food... or are you nodding to my heritage instead?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:06 pm

Gabe: What's better than a fusion of our backgrounds....since we tend to....'fuse'...rather often ourselves? Smile

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:08 pm

Nikki nods, grinning.

Nikki: I like it.

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:18 pm

Gabe pulls up to the Kogi BBQ truck and as always, there is a line....

Gabe: God, you can SMELL the short ribs already! God, I'm so hungry...

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:21 pm

Yet again, Nikki's stomach growls.

Nikki: Oh now, that is just not fair.

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:32 pm

Gabe and Nikki wait only for about 15 minutes before getting to the window....

Gabe: Um....lemme get a 12 pack of short rib tacos and two bottles of water.

Clerk: That'll be 20 bucks.

Gabe quickly pays. As they are waiting for their food, a limo pulls up to the Kogi truck...

Gabe: Heh, everyone eats here....I wonder...

He freezes when the door opens....

Voice: We've got a couple of hours layover, Raquel...I'll just be a moment.

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:34 pm

Nikki notices Gabe's expression, and recognizes the voice.

Nikki: Is that your dad?

Cryonix Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:37 pm

Gabe: ....Yes. It is.

They get their food and head back to Gabe's car, trying to be unnoticed when...

Man: HEY! IT'S GABRIEL CORTEZ, THE UFC CHAMPION!

A crowd gathers, asking for autographs and pictures...and Gabe and Shawn meet eyes...

Pockets Sat Jul 16, 2011 7:43 pm

Nikki: I'll help clear a path if you want to get out of here.
