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."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sure."

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

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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

"You don't sound as enthused."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

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

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

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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

"Really?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Nah."

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

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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

"Not fair!"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Grin.

"Totally fair."

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

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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

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

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well.

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

His grin probably won't help her not laugh.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

It won't because now?

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

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

His grin widens.

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

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

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

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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

"Why not?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Shrug.

"Cause that wouldn't be cool."

An enthusiastic Jenny is a cute fun Jenny to see!

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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!"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

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.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Right."

Cause what would be the fun in that?

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Ever seen a waterfall?"

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

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

"No?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

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

And comes to a stop.

"Niagara Falls."
