_What did she say?_, I head Beta say. Okay, don't get too excited yet. _Right, stay calm._ Sunday, Sunday. What am I doing Sunday? _Nothing, you're doing nothing. You're not watching a Doctor Who marathon, you're not playing Runebound, you're not clipping your toenails._ Of course not. I'm just making sure there was nothing important going on. &quot;Sunday, I'm free Sunday. Why?&quot; I replied, calmly. &quot;I was wondering..&quot; she started. Yes, yes. The pause seemed so long. Well it seemed like a pause, it probably was a one second pause. &quot;Could you pick me up from the airport?&quot; she asked. _What!_ &quot;Sure, no problem.&quot; I was trying to work this out. &quot;Great. I've got to get going, but I'll send you the flight information.&quot; with that she headed out my office. _Airport! I thought it was going to be asking you on a date._ &quot;Look, it will still work out.&quot; as I turned back to my computer. _How?_ &quot;Because we will be away from the office. No interruptions. I can ask her on a date.&quot; _Good thinking. Without my help._ 2008-04-16T19:56:46Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/26965 <p>I like the internal banter, must read on&#8230;</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26965?basename=56909 2008-04-16T19:56:46Z thebetweenspace http://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace <p>No Doctor Who marathon, but Series 4 just started last weekend.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26965?basename=54863 2008-04-07T20:43:10Z ChrisWDP http://ficlets.com/authors/chriswdp <p>Nice twist.

Is there a Doctor Who marathon this weekend?!<br />He still seems unsure, so the ask out will probably be awkward and for a pseudo-date or something still noncommittal.<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/26965?basename=54810 2008-04-07T14:24:34Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477
