“Ooh, I haven’t been to a planetarium since I was a little girl! But they won’t have the exhibits open now, will they?”

Jameson helped Prandi with the helmet strap and smiled down at the picture she made, her owl eyes flashing brightly from the shadow of her helmet.

“Well, I happen to know the guy, Tim, who runs the laser light show on Fridays and Saturdays, and I’m sure he’ll let us take a peek. Tonight’s our lucky night – they usually play The Beatles on Fridays.”

“Sounds awesome,” Prandi smiled back at him and Jameson took his seat so she could sit behind him, his stomach contracting with an unexpected surge of butterflies as her arms slid around his waist, holding him tight.

“You ready, Prandi?”

“Ready!”

Then they were off, the cold wind whipping at their coats and the speed making them giddy.

They arrived at the planetarium shortly after 2 AM. When Tim saw them, he waived the entrance fee and let them in. The sticky-sweet strains of “Strawberry Fields” greeted them as they entered the auditorium.

    I loved this: Prandi smiled back at him and Jameson took his seat so she could sit behind him, his stomach contracting with an unexpected surge of butterflies as her arms slid around his waist, holding him tight. (Sidebar: I love your casting call for Karl. Steve Buscemi is the perfect guy to play a narcoleptic, Vietnam vet, magician, in my book).

    So I sat down in my beanbag chair with my laptop and read the whole series up to this point in one sitting. And I have only one question: Why haven’t I been following along until now? Great stuff all around, you two make a legendary ficleteering pair. Perhaps the strangest thing to me is that I’ve also been developing a story about a Karl, albeit a very different Karl, without a clue about what was going on over here on this side of the site. Regardless, you two have maintained quite a (web) page-turner…

    Kevin’s still hanging around, just as a member, I think. And thanks for the compliment, uselessness. I’ll have to check out your story to see how your Karl compares! ;-)

    Quite the hot pair, thanks, Bartimaeus. I also loved the Beatles touch, but for the sequel I had to return to the Houdini Bar (you’ve got sequel!) Tag your it!
