The Treehouse of the Cove

[Veroe]

It is wonderful love. You spoil me you know that.

Holds out the oculto for you to try a sip.

Spoil you? I don't understand what you mean. You mean treat you as you deserve to be treated, as the beautiful queen you are? Then no, I don't spoil you at all.

I shake my head at the offered beer.

I meant try it in RL. But maybe you can tell me how much tequila flavor does it have?

 

[Asa]

Yeah with my RL... The way you treat me is spoiling me.

To me it has the perfect tinge of tequila that kills the gruff beer taste.

 

[Veroe]

I'll have to give it a try in RL sometime.

And speaking of spoiling you.

Reaches down and raises a wrapped box.

Tada your birthday present...

 

[Asa]

Ohh darlin.

Taking the box and opening it. Eyes sparkle as I open the gift.

You yes do spoil me.

 

[Veroe]

When you open the box you reveal a ray gun with the words De-Agifier Ray. I reach in and take it. adjusting it to a precise age, and point it at you and pull the trigger. A bolt of energy passed between it and you. Then I turn it and point it at myself and it fires again.

We now face eachother as we were when we were both eighteen years old.

Now to explain the present, Asa, you've had the real world putting a lot on you recently. You've been shouldering a lot of responsibilities all by yourself. But now my present to you is that for the next twenty-four hours you're eighteen again with no kids or job or exes or illnesses. You have the freedom and joy of when you were a kid with the future ahead of you still an unforged path. When we were eighteen we both rushed forward to jobs, and college, and families, and obligations that weighed us down. We forgot how to feel the unfettered joy and hope only children can truly feel. Now for today you can relive it with the appreciation you felt for it only after you lost it.

 

[Asa]

Veroe... Such a sweet sentiment such a beautiful gift and soul of the giver.

Beer and cake forgotten as I curl closer and kiss you.

 

[Veroe]

I smile at your words.

Ready for the second part of your present?

 

[Asa]

There is more?

Lost for a moment in your eyes still amazed at how wonderful you are.

Okay...

 

[Veroe]

I raise a remote to the stereo, and The Macarena starts playing.

Let's dance, and no sexy dancing...this is just for fun and fun only.

 

[Asa]

Seriously...

Laughing and waits for you to begin dancing first.

 

[Veroe]

What you never danced just for fun as a kid without really caring what others may think of you. Remember that silly uninhibited feeling?

I start moving my body to the music crossing my arms to the driving beat daring you to join in with me.

 

[Asa]

I guess I did as a kid maybe.

Begins dancing with you with a smile.

Just been so long ago I guess... Till now

 

[Veroe]

That's what this present is all about. You're a kid again, Asa. Just let it all go, and have some fun.

I come up beside you as we repeat the dance moves to the Macarena but at the end I take your hand in mine as we dance together and laugh out loud at how ridiculous we must appear.

Having fun yet?

 

[Asa]

Laughing as we dance hand in hand.

Yes I am. Are you?

 

[Veroe]

Oh yeah. I'm with you aren't I?

I answer before handing you the control for the stereo, and when the song finishes I say.

Care to pick the next song?

 

[Asa]

Not sure what song to pick since its just dancing to be dancing and nothing sexy

Pouts a little with a wink

 

[Veroe]

Just pick something you'd think would be fun to dance to, or we can switch to my alternate plan and have a silly face competition.

 

[Asa]

Well then let's dance

 

[Veroe]

Yeah that's what I'm talking about.

We begin to dance gyrating our bodies to the rocking beat.

 

[Asa]

Loving this moment and the company as we dance.

So what all do you have planned for tonight darlin or this time together no matter how long RL makes it take?

 

[Veroe]

Other than to give you the gift of fun....

...nothing beyond letting us go wherever our heart's desire takes us. Maybe we'll have a game of tag or hide and seek. How does that sound?

 

[Asa]

Well let's see where the night leads darlin.

Dancing around relaxing more and more.

 

[Veroe]

Well let's see where the night leads darlin.

Dancing around relaxing more and more.

Yes let's.

I laugh dancing with you feeling a childish joy that I haven't felt in years cleanse a soul I had not realized had gotten dingy over the passage of those years.

(Have a raincheck to come in the next post or two, Asa)

 

[Asa]

(Okay)

Losing myself in the company and the music. Feeling lighter and happier than I have in a long time.

 

[Veroe]

I take your hands and mine and we circle around the balcony dancing our hearts out.
