Annie's Bachelorette Party! - Parts around Baltimore, Late Friday Afternoon into Evening [09/30].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Well, after tonight, Summer could finally stop stressing out about Annie's Bachelorette Party and start stressing out about the Wedding Proper (although, really, this was Annie they were talking about, clearly things were taken care of and covered, but Summer felt it was her duty, as maid of honor, to flail at least a little bit extra, just in case). So that was nice! And in clear defiance of any accusations of dick-themed shenanigans or planets covered in nothing but either jello or boobs, she had a seriously Classy As Fuck evening planned for everyone, because Annie was a Classy Ass Lady and this was all about her, anyway.

Besides, Summer Smith, contrary to popular belief, did know how to read a room. Sometimes.

Which was why this particular party was not being kicked off in a strip club or night club or even just a bar....but at a quaint farm/apple orchard just north of Baltimore.

Bet you didn't have that one on your bingo card!

Part One: Do Cute Farm Shit - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Weber's Peachberry Farm is so quintessentially wholesome autumn cider mill fun that the last thing they expected to have descended upon it is a multidimensional bachelorette party full of ladies with cool powers....and Summer. But that's what they're getting! There's a little bit of time before the main reason Summer has brought them all here is ready to kick off, so, after she'd bestowed everyone with an appropriate sash denoting their purpose here (and a truly awful amazing hat for the woman of the hour), you'll have some time to enjoy maybe some cider or donuts or just, as the title says 'do cute farm shit.'

"Oh my God, Summer." Annie was in love with her hat, you guys. And her sash, too, but also look at this hat. "Okay, already this is already amazing."

And she hadn't even had a donut yet. She'd been too busy delighting in her sash that told everyone she was getting hitched. Like.

LIKE.

She really had expected more dicks! In, honestly, kind of a bad way! Like, she'd been bracing for various anatomy in her face all week. This was...actually adorable? Which just went to show you that she needed to have more faith in her maid of honor, here, honestly.

That was Maid of Dishonor, thank you, which, despite quite possibly the multiverse's most wholesome bachelorette party ever, was a titled she felt she'd earned.

And having Annie this pleased with it before they'd even really done anything? Like, all the relief ever, and Summer was just going to take a moment to preen a little over having fucking nailed it, once again.

"This poor farm isn't even going to know what hit it."

Except that, you know, it would. Because she'd called ahead and warned/arranged everything, so...

"Like, happy bachelorette party or whatever."

If you all did not think Kimiko was going to take several photos of herself in a sash, when she had never worn a sash before...well. That was okay. Most of you were just getting to know her.

But Kimiko had also, straight-up, never been to a farm at all before, so she was also maybe mildly distracted by the apples and the donuts and the sunflowers and maybe those were some kind of giant noisy bird over there and this was a lot.

But in, like, the best way. But clearly also a lot.

Re: Part One: Do Cute Farm Shit - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

That level of distraction and fascination was practically palpable, and so Summer definitely didn't want to distract Kimiko too much from soaking it all in, but, at one point, she would shoot her a text.

Really glad u could make it! 😊

Okay, this was insanely cute, and way more than Allison ever did for either of her bachelorette parties. She was glad she got to join in this special kind of madness.

She picked the sash that said booty dancer, and was super grateful she didn't have to wear a hat.

Re: Part One: Do Cute Farm Shit - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer had to admit, she was a little less impressed with the other sashes, especially with the group they'd have, but it was a sacrifice she'd been willing to make because 'Maid of Dishonor' was too good to really pass up. So she nodded with approval when she saw which Allison had taken up.

"Good choice," she said, and lifted a cider donut in a toast. "And good to see you again. How've you been?"

Re: Part One: Do Cute Farm Shit - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey was still looking real unsure about the sash. But there were donuts, so that pretty much made up for it.

Honestly she was kind of digging the farm thing in general.

Re: Part One: Do Cute Farm Shit - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

And that was another reason Summer was hoping that going off the expected path was a smart move, because she was pretty sure Rey would have been miserable on the expected path.

Well, maybe not miserable; she would probably do her best to go along with it and be supportive, but it would not be a good time for her, overall, probably.

"I think," Summer declared, proudly, even though a part of her was screaming at her not to jinx it, "we're off to a good start."

Part Two: The Hayride - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

And, eventually, with the cute farm shit out of the way, as the afternoon makes its way toward evening, the party's chariot has arrived. Summer's arranged to have them all take their booze with them on a hayride through the farm and the countryside for their pregame and gifts or whatever else, where they can just sort of sit back in the back of a totally decked out wagon, strung up with lights and soft flannel blankets (and, okay, okay, some dick-shaped confetti, something penis-shaped had to make an appearance somewhere, as a rule), to just chill, drink champagne, enjoy some jello shots. And, as the evening starts to fall and the bottles start getting emptier, the apple trees along their path also light up with strings of lights to really set the mood a little more.

And, of course, there's a theme in Summer's return to some of her favorite Annie-inspired jello shots, from your classic champagne and lemon drops, to some nice mimosas and a bit of gold, too. A little pieto go with the theme, and a little tribute to the groom as well.

And, just for the hell of it, some fried tequila shots, because how could she not?

Re: Part Two: The Hayride - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[s3hargreeves]

Holy hell, that was a wide variety of jello shots. Allison picked up a lemon drop since that was a classic, and also went with the black one out of loyalty to Diego.

She had to pace herself if she was going to last all night.

Re: Part Two: The Hayride - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[thatwaslucky]

"Have you had these by Summer before?" Rey asked.

She was absolutely not getting drunk in case she got all maudlin so she had to be careful about her choices.

Re: Part Two: The Hayride - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[defenderofdesmoines]

To be totally honest -- Annie was almost relieved to see the confetti. It was almost like confirmation that this was, indeed, her bachelorette party and planned by Summer, and not actually just a wholesome, wonderful ladies' retreat where she got to wear the best hat ever.

The shots, also, were doing some work there.

"This is like the best thing about donuts and the best thing about shots in the same thing," Annie noted regarding the fried tequila shots, having already consumed enough jello to think that this was a comment worth sharing with the group.

Also she was just, like....really, really happy, right now.

Re: Part Two: The Hayride - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I've been trying to think of a good way to bring them in on a barnight," Summer admitted, grinning as she snagged one up for herself and popped it into her mouth, "but honestly? This is a much better debut for them."

Re: Part Two: The Hayride - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[thatwaslucky]

"Enjoying yourself?" Rey asked.

Re: Part Two: The Hayride - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[bossy_female]

Kimiko was studying the jello offerings with something very much like reverence, because at this point, these were almost like a legend to her.

She had also spent enough time following Starlight's career -- and around Diego, in general -- to appreciate how on-point all of this theming was.

But she was going to start with the pies, because they were really cute.

Re: Part Two: The Hayride - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

u have to let me know which one is your favorite! Summer texted over, because, well, this was her art, those jello shots, her superpower, right? She'd have to know what she thought about them now that she was getting the chance to try some.

Part Three: Mobtown Ballroom - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

After the hayride, things are going to get a little more traditional bachelorette party with the arrival of a limousine to whisk them all back into the city (of course), with more champagne and a few more jello shots and to Mobtown Ballroom, because being drunk in a bar for a bachelorette party was a must, but this bar was a little higher on the classier side and involved them all getting a sort of casual lesson on some swing dance moves while they were here, in preparation to really be able to tear it up on the dance floor at the actual wedding, and also it just sounded like a lot of fun anyway and way less gross than any nightclub they'd otherwise hit up.

Re: Part Three: Mobtown Ballroom - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[s3hargreeves]

Now this was more Allison's thing. She had been trained in all sorts of dance as a kid, and the Hargreeves' just loved to dance in general.

So while she hadn't been trained to swing specifically, it was safe to say she had this covered.

Re: Part Three: Mobtown Ballroom - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"This is the cutest thing we could possibly be doing!" Annie decided in abject, obvious glee.

Between her hat, her sash, the overall thoughtfulness of all of this, and how she was feeling from the shots -- dancing seemed like the best idea possible, and this was so, so much more fun than some sweaty club where she'd have to fend off guys with too much aftershave.

(Though. Like. This group would have no problem with that.)

Re: Part Three: Mobtown Ballroom - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[bossy_female]

To say Kimiko was here for this would be to wildly understate things.

What was life without dancing? Kind of a life philosophy, you know?

And while she realized she totally needed a partner for a lot of this, Kimiko was also in a place -- a slightly drunk, but also relatively mentally-healthy place -- where she had no problem taking to the dance floor on her own, too.

Re: Part Three: Mobtown Ballroom - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer had definitely hit the spot in all the champagne and jello shots where she felt like she was really paying attention to these dance lessons and was doing a very good job at everything she was picking up, but this was very clearly not the case. It didn't matter, though, because she was having a good time and she was staying on her feet, and those were the real important parts!

Re: Part Three: Mobtown Ballroom - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[thatwaslucky]

This was the part where Rey was the least comfortable, but she'd had exactly the right amount of Jell-O shots to not be self-conscious. She was still mostly content watching everyone else, though, and also making sure that she didn't have to like, go get anyone a loaf of bread or something.

Part Four: ???? - Annie's Bachelorette Party, 09/30.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Because who knows where the party might go after the dancing! It may probably just go right back to the island, but the night is definitely open for wherever things may lead in an open-ended Additional OCD thread.
