Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

Soon enough, the hug's ended! Darren would keep hugging her, but her dad is in the front seat and Darren is not suicidal. "Happy?" he asks, amused.

[shesepankh]

"Only if you teach me one more rune before we get there."

[castmyown]

He laughs. Then, he gives her a rune.

[shesepankh]

Which she studies happily.

With her head still on his shoulder.

[castmyown]

Darren notices. He is not complaining at all. Magic lessons, and Bella has her head on his shoulder. This is something he approves of!

Savannah will not bother them to talk about something other than magic. They are reasonably close to maybe kissing. She isn't going to mess this up. Instead, she curls up and tries to nap some more.

[shesepankh]

Then they shall proceed to the Avalon thusly!

[castmyown]

That's the plan!

[steppingup]

Soon enough, they pull into a parking lot of what looks like a set of ordinary warehouses.

"Here we are," informs Vernon.

[shesepankh]

"Well, this looks like the perfect place to have a cop show season finale."

[sundayfish]

"Not if the cop show was much good," snorts Charlie.

[castmyown]

Darren snickers. "I'm pretty sure we're not part of a bad cop show."

[morethanimaginary]

"I dunno. Our dads could make a great cop show duo."

[steppingup]

"I'm the edgy one," drawls Vernon dryly.

[shesepankh]

"Step out of line one more time and Dad'll have your badge."

[steppingup]

"I'm the cop you need, but not the one you want," he says, in the same deadpan. "I know the streets."

[sundayfish]

Charlie snorts. "Reason they don't set even terrible cop shows in Forks, you know."

[shesepankh]

"I know."

[steppingup]

Vernon laughs. "Yeah. Each episode would be uneventful. None of the constant serial killers that bad cop shows get."

[sundayfish]

"Traffic stops, vandalism, shoplifting, domestics, occasional missing person who just went on too much of a hike, that's about it."

[shesepankh]

"And the people who don't know what 911 is for, don't forget those."

[steppingup]

"Heh. 'Tonight, on Bad Cop Show - some neighborhood kids need a stern talking to.'"

[sundayfish]

"I'd watch that one."

[shesepankh]

"Previously on Bad Cop Show: the turn signal neglecter! Shot of dramatic ticket-writing."

[castmyown]

Darren laughs helplessly.
