Day Trip: Ocean City Maryland, Sunday

[l1ttle_billy]

posted early due to afkness tomorrow

It was about a three hour drive to get from Alexandria to Ocean City. It was still early in the season, only partly sunny, and in the low 50's, so there weren't too many people there. Which is just how Billy liked it. Plenty of time for hellish crowds during the summer.

The big parking lot at the end of the boardwalk was nearly empty, making parking a hell of a lot easier than it could have been.

The boardwalk started almost immediately off the lot, with mostly closed shops, restuarants, and arcades lining it. The Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum was open, however the pier with it's thrill rides, water slides, and fishing spots was still gated and locked.

"And this," Billy said to Ami. "Is a boardwalk town in the off season."

[nfb due to distance, for Ami]

"Could be." he nodded. "We'll have to check."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Definitely. So, what is next? Hopefully something a bit more sedate than the shark."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Agreed, I-" They came at that moment to the other side of the mirror. "Did you make any faces in that?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Maybe a little bit. Why?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, it's just possible that someone was back here laughing at you that's all."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Goody, I have always wanted someone to laugh at me." She stuck her tongue out at him.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

He snickered, and kissed her.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Mmm, dream come true, someone laughing at the AND kisses. The mirror - totally forgotten. Billy - totally being kissed back.

It was dark, and they pretty much had the place to themselves. And the person currently standing on the other side of the one way mirror couldn't see them anyway.

"Someone is gonna come in here and we will be in trouble." Ami said between kiss one and kiss two. Not that she cared very much right now. Mostly she cared about being as close to Billy as possible. Because the discussion from Friday night mainly served to point out how easily she can lose him.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Oh I don't know about being in trouble. Embarresed maybe, but I doubt we'd be in trouble." He kissed her forehead. "But I'm sure there's other places to stop and 'rest' if you want to move on for the moment."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami shook her head into his chest. "No, that's ok. I just want to hold on, you know?" Clingy? Ami? Well maybe.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I have no problem with that."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Good," Because Ami didn't really take his backstory being a lie really well. She jsut didn't start ranting and screaming. Yet.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Heh, and she didn't even know about him being buried alive yet. "By the way if there's such a place open we must get fries. It's required of all who come to the boardwalk."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Well, if it is required we cannot miss it!"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"So, skeeball and fries."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Where woudl these things be?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Further up the boardwalk I expect."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Excellent. Lets go find out if they are open?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good." he said, taking her hand to begin the journey anew.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami was perfectly content to be led by the hand. Provided it was Billy doing the leading.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

The rest of the museum was interesting as well, but soon they were back outside.

"Where it was warm but breezy with a lovely view of the ocean. "Someday, i want to live where i can see the ocean out of my window..."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy smiled at the thought. "That sounds cool." he said. "I've never really thought about where I want to live someday, I've never really rooted. But living by the ocean certainly has appeal."
