The Junkyard, then to Parts Beyond; Saturday [05/20].

[somethingwithturquoise]

After everything going on with the mess that was his last jaunt back home and his failing awkward relationship with his coworker/coteacher/exboyfriend, it was clear to Summer that Connor just really need to get out, see the multiverse a little, and have a good time. And she was very good at providing exactly that, thank you very much, and was mostly just pleased that he'd agreed, and hadn't, like, decided that he'd much rather just be all mopey and sad and drunk about it instead.

So she headed down to the junkyard, knowing that her pre-flight checks should go pretty quickly since the old girl was getting out a bit more these days again (you loved to see it), and then she just had to wait for Connor to get there, half-wondering if she was going to have to go back and drag his half-hungover ass out of his apartment or something.

She'd do it, too! Put all that weightlighting she'd been doing to good use!

[[ mostly for the sad little dino nerd, but can be open if anyone wants to catch her before they head out! But also, like, all the SP, ohemgee. ]]

There might have been a slight bit of disappointment that there was no alien base or secret facility on the moon, But it was still the moon and Connor was actually there looking at it with his own eyes! That was absolutely nothing to sneeze at, even if it was old hat for someone like Summer by this point.

"Brilliant. Bloody brilliant" Connor said as he all but pressed his face against the window to take it all in. "Can only imagine what the rest of it all is like."

"The rest of what?" asked Summer. "The moon? You're pretty much looking at it, not a whole lot going on. Not on this moon, anyway. The rest of space, though, obviously, now that's a different story."

"The rest of space of course" Connor said. "Cant go back without seeing another planet or alien or something after all!"

"Nope," said Summer, grinning, despite herself, because, okay, the enthusiasm was adorable, and of course there was a nice, actually wholesome sort of power trip to be the hand involved in making this happen. "Just the moon. That's all you get.

"Kidding," she added, just in case her dryness was taken as sincerity. "Of course. Where do you want to head next? Mars? Jupiter?

"Uranus?"

What?

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor would have been thrilled with the moon. It was nice to be doing something, fun, and without all the thinking and moping and all that stuff.

"Jupiter... Saturn... anywhere would be amazing really. Be a bloody idiot to say no to any of this really!"

Summer paused for a moment longer, just to let Connor soak it in a bit more before asking, "Wanna go out there?"

"Do I wanna? Does an atom of lithium have three electrons?" Connor paused, suddenly realizing just how geeky that was, and then grinned sheepishly. "Ah, yeah let's go!"
