Colorado Springs is probably, Bart figures, as good a place to start as any, which is convenient, seeing as how that's where his door leads. And it's a pretty good view to begin with; mountains have that affect.

To be rather more specific, his door deposits them directly outside a mall; it's probably best not to ask what he was doing in there previous to entering the bar. It doesn't really matter, anyway, because now he turns to Jenny with a grin.

"Welcome to Earth."

Elevation: 6,370 feet.

Shrug. "Kinda on the far side, but there's farther."

Jenny would nod if she could. Instead, she reaches to play with a stray branch from some unfamiliar Earth tree (a pine, the narration fills in). A hawk flies overhead and Jenny points and laughs.

"Can we see it another time then? I think I like canyons so far."

"Yeah, sure."

Eyeing her to see if she's ready for the next stop or wants to stick around here for a while longer.

She giggles and tumbles into a standing position, not at all afraid of falling off the tall cliff.

"You don't sound as enthused."

"Yeah, well, seen one giant hole in the ground, seen 'em all."

Don't worry, Jenny, he's joking.

She looks worried at the thought. Does it really turn into something like that after a while?

"Really?"

"Nah."

Bart would be sad if it turned into that for her.

Jenny blinks and her mouth goes wide, staring at him with shocked laughter.

"Not fair!"

Grin.

"Totally fair."

He is teaching her a VALUABLE LESSON! You shouldn't believe everything you hear!

But she thought she should believe everything Bart says. He's her boyfriend, after all.

"Hmmph," she grumbles, trying not to laugh.

Yeah, well.

She can believe him on most things, especially the important ones!

His grin probably won't help her not laugh.

It won't because now?

Now, she's giggling. Carefully, and thankfully, not too close to the edge of the canyon.

His grin widens.

(That's fine cause she's not about to fall over the canyon on his watch.)

Bart Allen, savior of reckless teenager-like aliens!

As it turns out, the giggling subsides quickly at the sight of Bart's wide grin. She takes a few steps closer to close the grin at him and wraps her arms around his neck.

"I really like travelling with you, Speedy. Even when you lie."

"I wasn't going to let you keep on thinking it," he objects, vaguely. ~~Probably.~~

Her eyes shine with amusement and fondness, if not just a little bit of confusioin.

"Why not?"

Shrug.

"Cause that wouldn't be cool."

An enthusiastic Jenny is a ~~cute~~ fun Jenny to see!

Yeah, whether it's cool or not doesn't seem to matter anymore in Jenny's eyes. Because she's giggling again and suddenly feeling a little flustered, like butterflies in her stomach or something like that.

So Jenny leans up to kiss him again.

"Best," kiss, "and strangest," kiss, "boyfriend," kiss, "ever!"

Now she's got him laughing. No fair!

"Yeah, well," kiss, "you're not," kiss, "exactly," kiss, "the least confusing," kiss, "girlfriend ever, either," kiss.

>>

Awww. A laughing Bart is a fun to kiss Bart, really!

Her hands tangle in his hair.

"But you wouldn't want me in any other way," she states confidently between kisses. "Right?"

"Right."

Cause what would be the fun in that?

Exactly!

And as much as Jenny could stand here snogging Bart all day, it really isn't every day she gets a trip to Earth.

So, kinda reluctantly, she breaks it.

"Where to next?"

"Ever seen a waterfall?"

She tilts her head for a moment, looking at him curiously.

"No?"

In response, he picks her up, going faster to compensate for the longer distance.

And comes to a stop.

"Niagara Falls."
