[It had been quite some time after the incident with Glamour's party, and despite all the odds, she managed to keep her job as the popular blogger's personal assistant. Of course, that's not a gig she wants to remain in forever, but it's a necessary stepping stone. Although her dress landing a spot on Glamour's "IT" list is the real huge step towards her real dream, Daisy knows it's going to take a while before she can really quit and be on her own.

Have to pay these bills somehow.

Today, at least, it's a day off so she can relax a little more and she's out walking by the beach trying to find some inspiration for her next design to continue building that portfolio—a few sketches of which she actually has on her and carries in her bag. It's nearing summer, so only makes sense she try to go for something related to the ocean or water in general. Just as she's thinking of stopping somewhere for lunch, a punk kid suddenly whips past her on their skateboard, startling her and almost making her lose her footing.]

Hey, watch where you're—AAH!

[Before she could fully tell him off, the sudden movement and random strong burst of wind causes some of her sketches to fly out from her bag and she quickly tries to run after them.]

Argh, just my luck—come back here!

[WHY IS THE WIND SUDDENLY SO STRONG IT WAS NICE AND PLEASANT BEFORE.]

[duckflails]

[It was a nice day to go out on the beach! The rest of the family were all wrapped up in different things for the day, thankfully not life-threatening adventures for once (or at least he hoped nothing escalated to that level while he was out), so he was free to enjoy the day as he pleased. With all the time Donald's spent with his boat in Scrooge's pool, he's grown sick of chlorine and yearned to spend more time by the sea. And the weather's perfect for it!

Donald gives a relaxed sigh as he makes his way down the beach, feeling the warm sand beneath his webbed feet and looking out towards the rocking of the waves. It was a simple joy, but it felt like it was missing something. That's when he found his thoughts turning towards that lady he met at the party... Daisy. He wonders how she's doing! It feels like it'd be nice to have her here with him. He can just picture her now, walking along the shore while toting a trendy bag. Then some bratty skateboarder flies by, making some papers soar out from the bag on an exceptionally strong wind current, and she yells loudly while running after them, and -

wait.

Donald blinks, as he realizes that he's not picturing anything at all.]

...Daisy? [There she is, coming in his direction while chasing those papers that are flying through the air! He doesn't know what they are, but if Daisy's worried about it, then they must be important! Donald kicks up sand as he rushes forward.]

Daisy!! Leave it to me, I'll help!

[He rushes forward and leaps forward to grab onto one of the sketches in the air! ...Though it's possible that his forehead may conk into hers at the same time.]

[hearshisvoice]

[She's so focused on the papers, she doesn't notice Donald until she hears him call out to her and offer assistance. At first she thought she was hallucinating, but—]

Donald?

[—there's that unmistakable small flutter in her heart, a rush of warmth when she sees how desperate and eager he is to help her.

A feeling that is immediately replaced by pain when, due to her own lack of attention from briefly imagining Donald in a more heroic pose than he really was, his forehead collides into hers and she's sent to the sandy ground with a surprised yell.]

[duckflails]

Ow!!

[It was a sweet moment, his heart skipping a beat as he came to Daisy's rescue, until the collision happened. He stumbled back a few feet, but kept his footing while gripping onto his forehead.

And then he realized exactly what had just happened.]

I'm so sorry!!

[He rushes over to help her, even as a strong gust of wind blows against him! Still, he makes it up next to hear and reaches out a hand to help. But there's a good windfall to this too, as the wind blew some of Daisy's sketches onto Donald's head and chest without him even realizing it.]

[hearshisvoice]

[Perhaps these are the winds of fate that will help both of them. For now, Daisy has a hand pressed to her head to try and fight off that throbbing pain before she hears and sees Donald reaching for her.]

Oh—no—I also wasn't—

[Flustered, she tries to assure him that she was all right as she takes his hand to stand. But when she sees her sketches blown against him, her eyes widen as she acts before properly thinking it through.]

—Stand right there! [Is all she shouts before she suddenly reaches up and forward to try and grab the one that had blown against his head, which will move her a little more into his personal space.]

[duckflails]

[He does feel wracked with guilt. He finally sees her again by chance, and the first thing he ends up doing is headbutting her! At least Donald's used to his head being in pain, so it's almost like white noise to him as he focuses on trying to help Daisy.

He's oblivious to the papers clinging to him and doesn't realize why Daisy is asking him to stay still, so he just does so!]

O-okay!

[Donald keeps himself practically frozen in place. Then as she comes up close to him, he really feels like freezing in place, now out of nervousness. He blushes as she... removes something from his forehead?]

[hearshisvoice]

[Grabbing the sketch paper, there's visible sign of relief when she pulls it back.]

What a relief, I thought I was going to lose...

[Her voice trails when she realizes she's right up in his face, and there's an awkward moment as she stares at him before she clears her throat and takes a step back—but not before reaching back up to readjust his hat a little.]

Sorry—I mean, thank you, Donald.

[Fidgeting a little by fixing her bow and brushing off some sand off sundress, she's trying her best to not blush and maintain her more usual "refined, sophisticated" appearance because she's not a teenager anymore! There's no need for her to feel flustered or embarrassed, and it's not like this is the first time they've been up in each other's personal space. But maybe because she's a little more aware of him she's suddenly feeling a bit more self-conscious in this sudden situation.]

[duckflails]

[They had been this close before - even closer! ...But that's when they were tangled up in the string of a purse and also had other things on their mind. Right now, the only thing standing in front of him, so so close, is Daisy herself. Some of his feathers turn a little red, and his head ducks down a little shyly after she adjusts his hat. Then he takes a breath and starts speaking.]

D-don't be sorry! I'm happy to help! [Even if it was unwittingly. One of her papers ended up on his head? As he looks down, he notices some more more that the wind blew onto is arms and chest. He peels them off to offer to her.]

Here's some more! What are they? [He holds one up to look at, finally realizing that it's sketch of a dress.] Ooh pretty!

[Donald doesn't have the keenest eye for fashion, but he appreciates the sketch all the same. It feels like anything that Daisy creates or wears looks lovely by default!]

[hearshisvoice]

Oh! [Is it telling that she was so distracted that she had forgotten about the ones that had flown into his chest? She tries not to appear too embarrassed as she takes the ones handed out to her, but she can't help but smile a bit when he looks at them.]

You think so? [Even if she has a feeling he'd compliment an outfit she designed out of black garbage bags pretty, she still feels a touch of warmth from his words.]

I'm working on some new concepts for the summer season, which is why I'm out here. Thought the beach and ocean air might give me some inspiration.

[duckflails]

[He would praise those garbage bag dresses and think they really bring out her eyes.

Donald nods at her question and then listens attentively to her explanation.]

So that's what brings you out here! I meant to ask that. [He says sheepishly. Things just kinda happened so suddenly, that they haven't fully exchanged pleasantries.]

You picked a really nice day for it! ...Except for that wind a little while ago.

[Then he realizes that he's still holding up her sketch and should give it back.]

Oh. [So he sheepishly hands it back to her.] Here!

[hearshisvoice]

[Awww, only Donald would make her feel like wearing garbage bags worthwhile.]

Thanks. [She takes the sketch and stares at it for a moment with a warm smile. It's silly, but now she really wants to polish it and make it just to show Donald.

Oooh, what is wrong with her???

Masking her internal thoughts she carefully slips and the rest back into her notebook in her bag.] I'd be happy to share the others with you...but you're probably not that interested in it, ah ha. [SMOOTH REAL SMOOTH, DAISY. Just clears her throat.]

So what brings you out here? Just enjoying the day or... [She cants her head slightly. He wore that sailor's uniform back at the party, too. Is that just his favorite outfit or...] Out sailing?

[duckflails]

[A silly grin is pretty much perpetually on Donald's face right now. He watches as he tucks the notebook away and gives a quick shake of his head, to affirm that he wouldn't mind looking over more of her sketches! Everything she touches seems interesting to her, after all.

As for his outfit, he is a cartoon character really does like wearing it a lot! He chuckles.]

No sailing today. [It would be a nice day for sailing, but the houseboat is back at the pool and would be a pain to move back out here, plus rentals are too expensive for his budget right now.] Today's so nice and everyone else is busy. So it's a nice time to get away for a walk on the beach!

[Then his squawking voice gets a little softer. He raises a hand to bashfully rub at his head.]

I- I didn't expect to see you again here! [But he wanted to.]

[hearshisvoice]

[Stop being so adorable.

But so he does sail. There's a look of interest as she can't help but briefly imagine him on a boat...and then she sees that bashful expression. It's a little cute—but of course she doesn't reveal her thoughts and instead puts on a somewhat coy, teasing smile of her own.]

Were you expecting to see me again somewhere else?

gimme her Boy

[swordandpen]

[ It's the first time since being at space camp that Connie's been so far ahead that she's been encouraged to actually use the the assigned free days for something other than cramming.

She's dubious about it, but complies anyway. There's only one thing she hasn't been able to do nearly as much as she wants. Her fingers fly across her phone as she settles on her pink maned dorm partner. ]

Hi Steven! Are you staying anywhere right now or are you on the road for a while?

deploys one (1) boi

[agemofchange]

[There's a lot to love about being on the road. It's been helpful in settling some of his thoughts and feelings, and it's been great to meet up with people along the way. Still, it can be lonely sometimes. When times are like that, there's nothing that brightens his day more than a text from Connie! So this one could not have been timed better.]

Connie! :D I'm stationary right now. Just checked into a motel, gonna rest up before I head to Florida Island. Eight states down so far!

[swordandpen]

[ A smile breaks out on Connie's face at the quick answer. ]

Eight states already is amazing time. Have you had anything to eat yet??

[ Such an important question she feels it warrants double question marks. So far her hopes of surprising her boyfriend are looking good! ]

[agemofchange]

[He smiles fondly at her answer. Ah, she must be worrying and wanting to make sure he's been eating! So he gets to responding.]

Not yet today. But I'm about to, I promise! There's this brunch buffet across the street that I've heard great things about, so I'm gonna eat lile a lion! (But with less lizards, lol!)

[swordandpen]

( ooc: Just wanted to say sorry again. This past week was just bouncing around doctor's offices and adjusting back to work. Still 100% here for these two! )

[ Not yet! Excellent. Does feel weird to think of it that way though. ]

I see! How would you like to have something from Fish Stew Pizza instead? ;)

[ Impatiently and eagerly awaiting an answer, she scratches Lion's ear just to make sure he's awake. ]

[agemofchange]

[ooc: Don't worry, it's all find! I'll never begrudge any late tags. I'm happy to have them at any pace. And take care!]

Okay that would be really awesome, I have found myself missing it a lot lately!

Wait what does that winky face mean

[Suspicion!!]

❤!

[swordandpen]

[ There it is! There's a bit of delay between her texts. ]

It means

[ It means a quick apology to Kofi for spooking him with suddenly appearing at the counter. ]

that your

[ Box, bag of sides and drink carrier. Connie giggles to herself as she waves when they leave, only to proudly exclaim to Steven's rented motel room. ]

order has arrived!

[ The pink portal closes behind them while she dismounts holding up her food, smartly dodging Lion's wandering nose. ]

An order for two if that's okay with you, Steven.

[ She's quite happy to have pulled this off so nicely. ]

❤!!! Sorry, I never got a notif for this tag!

[agemofchange]

[Steven was standing over an open suitcase and in the process of deciding what to take out for his stay, in between checking his phone. He squints as he starts to receive some disjointed messages - only for everything to make sense once he hears a familiar voice. One that immediately makes his heart sing!

He spins around, with his widest grin.]

Connie!! [He immediately runs forward to hug her. He may have been enjoying life on the road, but boy did he miss her! Lion then gave an offended scoff.] And Lion too! I missed you too, buddy!

[And then he looks right at Connie.]

This- this is more than okay, it's wonderful! But, you- is it okay for you to be here? [He assumed she'd be busy. Which adds to the surprise!]

No worries!<3

[swordandpen]

Steven! [ She giggles while trying to hug him back with her hand full. It's balancing act, but she manages a squeezing hug. Those feel so rare now. ] Turns out it is.

[ She shrugs, feeling a little sheepish now about the situation. ]

We were given a couple of free days after really digging into some good subjects. I was going to use them to study the course again. [ Third time's a charm, right? ] My counselor suggested to do something other than that.

So, I decided maybe we could do this?

[ Since it's been forever and a day and three states away. ]

[agemofchange]

[He might have let his excitement at seeing her overpower all other thoughts, including being cautious about what she's holding. But it's fine, it's good, he can just make a bubble or something to catch anything she might drop.

He does pull back as he listens to her, while also reaching for the pizza box and drink carrier to lighten her load. His face brightens.]

Really? That's great! I like the way your counselor thinks. [He says with a smile. In the past, he might've worried too much about distracting Connie from her studies. But he's in a better place now, so he can acknowledge that it's a Good Thing for them to just hang out together now. He doesn't have to feel guilty about it. Well, there might be twinges of guilt left here and there, but he won't let that drive him. Not when Connie's right here with him.]

After all, I- [He blushes slightly.] I'm really happy to see you again, Connie. [With that, he leans forward to press a gentle peck to her lips.]

[swordandpen]

[ Even though there's no doubt in her mind that he is, it is nice to hear him say so.

A similar blush crosses her cheeks. That moment when everything goes right and there's a cherry on top of it all! She returns the small kiss, the touch making her smile feel uncontrollable. ]

I'm happy to see you too, Steven.

[ Letting the moment sit, savor it while it's still there, Connie's eye catches the open suitcase. ]

Let's sit and eat. [ Lion take the opportunity to claim the suitcase as a bed. ] I can help you unpack afterward.

[agemofchange]

[Kisses are the best cherry on top of any cake! As she returns it, his own face glows redder and warmer, as his smile grows a little bit.]

That sounds like a great plan. [He glances towards Lion and the suitcase with a laugh.] As long as Lion allows it!

[After a moment more, he pulls back to set down the pizza box on the drinks on the nearby table.]

Pizza time!! I'm so excited!
