The Next Generation

[Lady Jenn]

"In fairness I'm not much better at flirting," she said, letting out an embarrassed laugh. "I'm not as good at this as I might seem to be."

[Lawshenk]

" your amazingly beautiful so you know"

[Lady Jenn]

"I've got nothing on you," she said, blushing slightly. "I bet those bullies were just jealous you were more beautiful than them."

[Lawshenk]

"no one ever flirted with me before I wish I could do it back " she took her hand

[Lady Jenn]

"Maybe I can teach you," she said, pulling her into a kiss just as Lucas walked back into the house, letting out a loud cough that made Marla pull back. "Um...I guess we'd better eat before it gets too cold."

[Lawshenk]

" yeah the food and not each other !"

[Lady Jenn]

"Sorry if I was interrupting," Lucas said as he sat down, seeing Marla looked slightly sad as she sat down. "Did I say something wrong?" he asked.

"No...it's fine," Marla said, playing with her food for a moment. "I guess we just got lost in the moment."

[Lawshenk]

" we ? I knew what was happening " she looked at Lucas which of us is better looking?'

[Lady Jenn]

"You're both younger than my daughter," he replied, laughing, "I'd just feel weird answering that question."

"This is great food," Marla said, trying to cheer up. "I wish my attempts at cooking tasted even half as nice as this does."

[Lawshenk]

" thanks " she looked at him " lucas your very dipolmatic but would never receive critisim form me for honesty"

[Lady Jenn]

"Then I'd say you," he answered Jenn. "I've seen Marla grow up, so it feels a bit weird thinking like that about her. No offence Marla."

[Lawshenk]

" really but I'm plain surely "

[Lady Jenn]

"I'm with Lucas," Marla said. "You're far prettier than I am, heck my NAME is prettier than I am," she said, letting out a soft laugh.

[Lawshenk]

" well thank you" she blushed " any news on the transporter or Issac"

[Lady Jenn]

"Well, I think this concoction is pretty much ready," Marla replied. "Once I've finished eating I'll try it on Isaac and hopefully it should help."

"I haven't checked about the transport," Lucas said. "I'll do that once we're finished too."

[Lawshenk]

" good because well I kinda like them both"

[Lady Jenn]

"Spend more time with Isaac and you might change your mind," Lucas said, wanting to rescue Marla from her evident discomfort. "He can be a bit too nerdy when he gets in the right mood."

[Lawshenk]

She looked at Marla " as friends, she is the me that likes Issac " she smiled

[Lady Jenn]

"Oh," Marla said, blushing bright pink. "I just...I'm being stupid, ignore me."

"Do I need to play Cupid with you two?" Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow. "I've seen school kids at a dance acting less shy towards each other."

[Lawshenk]

Jenni slapped him " I am new to this so please please give me a chance"

[Lady Jenn]

"Point taken," he said, feeling chastened. "I'd better get to that plane, see you both in a bit."

"I'd better sort out Isaac," Marla said, getting up reluctantly. "Unless you need a hand clearing up?"

[Lawshenk]

" I can manage, you think I was hard on him?"

[Lady Jenn]

"No," she said, smiling. "I'd like to think we can sort this out between us." She walked over and kissed Jenn's cheek. "Considering we were interrupted earlier if you feel like picking up where we left off, just come and tell me." She smiled again before heading for the living room.

[Lawshenk]

After 5 minuets she headed in to the living room, "anything?"

[Lady Jenn]

"I don't suppose there's any alcohol in the house?" Isaac asked, feeling a sharp headache.

"I've managed to at least get the Isaac side back under control," Marla said. "With some very mild side effects."
