Do you like pina coladas?

[and getting caught in the rain?]

It was part way through the holidays, and the weather was hot, dry, and everything contrary to what it is now. "thank goodness" sighed Mum, as she levitated three nibbles trays out of the house and onto the lawn, where she'd set up several tables. Chrissy and Pol were helping pour drinks, the latter far more begrudingly than the former. Kyli propped up chairs here and there, trying to look busy, Which is more than can be said of Meally and Ella, who were obstiantely refusing to work on the grounds that they didn't go to school, so therefore shouldn't have to help. Go figure.

"oh for cyring out loud the guests will be here any minute"

[.magnarock.]

[loverly family co-operation going on there, what're we gonna do about the others? beeeeing as how they're not online?]

"I'm gonna have to walk down half the street if you dont stop being so picky about parking spaces!" Sei chided a slightly edgy Dave who was fussing about the lack of parking.
"I told you. The car wouldn't fit in that tiny space, and the other was a residency parking spot only so stop complaining."
Sei chewed his lip quietly while Dave parked.
"Ok, give us a call when you need picking up Kay?"
"K. Bye." He made to get out of the car.
"Hey- "
"Hm?" He said turning back to Dave.
"I'm not mad at you, ok."
Sei nodded and smiled. "Mm. Bye Dave."
"Have fun." He called and waited until he'd crossed the road and nocked at the door before he drove away.

Sei tapped at Kyli's door. Wondering who else she'd invited and whether there would be too many people, her parties were always really crowded, maybe he shouldn't have come... He chewed his lip nervously. And she had so many siblings, what would they do if it rained? Would it even be in her garden? Did they actually have a garden? The street was pretty crammed and urban.
Back to reality... he nocked again.

[just only do part of it? and why would dave be mad at Sei?]

Kyli flew to the door, praying it was one of her mates. She let out an audible sigh of releif, "sei! Hello!" she threw her arms round his neck and hugged him, "come in" she said yanking him in through the door, "apart from a couple of Mum's boring friends, you're the first person here, so I'm afraid there's only me for company... unless you want to talk to my siblings, which, trust me, you don't"

[.magnarock.]

"Ok..."
He managed, still a little unbalanced by how much like a whirlwind she was now.
"D'you need any help setting up?"

[mely]

"Ssssh!" Kyli hissed, "don't say that aloud!" she grinned, "because trust me, you don't want mum to hear"

Mum was currently wrestling with two screaming toddelrs, and yelling at dad to get Ella and Meally helping out. Kyli wisely ducked past the ktiched, and into the half ready garden, "it's all going perfectly well without us, if we just hold some chairs and look busy, then we'll escape work"

[.magnarock.]

"If you say so..."
He mumbled.
"So, who else is coming?"
He attempted a slightly brighter note.

[mely]

Kyli turned slightly red, "erm... I don't actually know" she confessed. "you... Kik..." she paused, "and I've invited Cenizo and May too" she scowled, "and Leo"

[.magnarock.]

He chewed his lip. So many? That was almost everyone in the class... He forced a smile. "Great, it's gonna be so packed though- but that'll be fun. So, anyway, how's your summer holiday been so far?"

[mely]

"dull and boring... wish we'd met up before, I've been going outta my mind with only my stupid family for company" she cocked her head, and quizzed sei with her gaze, "are you ok? you seem a bit nervous?"

[.magnarock.]

He grinned. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry. Just a bit tired."
inner sei: And not at all a fan of parties... *dark storm clouds* -stabs something small and helpless-
He rubbed the back of his head. "Are your family that bad? I'd of thought that they made great company."
