Mermaids and beer FTW [RP for stillacrime]

Buffy and Danny were walking along, weaving between people. Buffy had one arm around Danny's waist and she was holding a beer in the other hand. This was the Mermaid Parade. It'd only just started, sending a parade of floats and people in mermaid costumes by them. It was hot and Buffy was wearing the pink bikini top with the white skull and crossbones on it she'd bought at Victoria's Secret along with a pair of cut off shorts that weren't Daisy Dukes but short enough. She had a pair of pink two inch heels on as well.

"Sorry, Boyfriend, you have to wait for the mermaid costume later when we get home," she teased him.

"Hey. mermaids don't have legs and feet. I'll pass and take a Buffy." Danny quipped. He of course was in his usual ratty jeans and t-shirt. He had on sunglasses and was watching the familiar spectacle.

"Well there was Ariel but then I guess she was a girl that used to be a mermaid instead of a real mermaid," Buffy rambled. "This is kind of cool and also crazy. Look at that one," she said pointing over to a girl in lime green 'scales' all over her legs. She had a tiny lime green bikini top on as well. Buffy took a sip of her beer and watched it all with wide eyes.

Danny followed Buffy's point and nodded with a shrug. "They all look the same to me. They don't to you?"

"Nooo because look over there," she pointed to another woman dressed in a crimson mermaid costume with red star pasties for a top. "She looks like a bloody mermaid. Completely different from Lime Mermaid."

And personally, Buffy thought she should get girlfriend of the year for pointing out half naked women to her boyfriend.

She did win girlfriend of the year. "Oh the different color bikini top makes them different kinds of mermaids?"

"Something like that," Buffy nodded. "There's the go mermaid and the stop mermaid," she joked. "I'd be a white mermaid but I wouldn't like it much. I have a thing about skinny skirts."

"A white mermaid? That would make me the olive green merman?" Danny asked around a crooked grin.

"Duh. Because if I'm a mermaid than of course you're a merman," Buffy told him with a grin. She tiptoed and kissed his cheek.

"But if you're a mermaid we gotta sell all your shoes for a big oyster shell to live in." Danny joked.

"Oooh hard decision. I bet we could buy a really nice oyster shell," Buffy pretended to consider it for a moment. "Alright, we're sticking with my shoes. We both like them more than we'd like an oyster."

"Good, I like the shoes." Danny nodded, kissing the top of Buffy's head and then looking back to the parade. "Boom."

"Boom," Buffy said back, imitating his accent badly. She tiptoed slightly to see over the people in front of them. "So why mermaids? Just because it's a chance to get women to wear sequins and very few clothes? Or is there some mermaid lore I don't know about?"

"It's supposed to be the remnants of a mardi gras type thing that was held here on Coney Island from the early to mid 1900's." Danny explained. "Did you know there was a mardi gras here?"

"Mmmm," Buffy mused, tilting her head and watching some of the goings on. "I didn't know but I can see it. I thought Mardi Gras was just a Lousianna thing but it's it some kind of religious thing? Like with lent. It's a whole giving up stuff and Mardi Gras is like the whole sin while you can party. Okay so it's probably not religious. It was probably made by teenagers who got repressed by their religious parents so they rebelled. And it evolved and now it's like the world's biggest block party."

Danny chuckled around a crooked grin. "Oh, this is about to turn into one huge block party once the parade is over. Drinkin' and dancin'."

"Mmmm, I like the sound of that," Buffy told him as she leaned in and kissed him.

A small marching jazz band passed by in front of another float. "What, you like bein' close to me? ...with beer?"

"Nah just the beer," Buffy teased him as she slipped her thumb into the back waistband of his pants, resting her hand there."Oh...wait. I got that order wrong. It's just the being close to you I like. The beer I can take or leave."

"Nice save, Summers." Danny teased, lightly bumping her side with his.

"I'm good at that saving thing," Buffy teased him in response. She turned her head and kissed his shoulder then bit his shoulder lightly.

"Hey now..." He turned to kiss the top of her head. "We'll be late to the party."

"Hmmm that would be a shame," Buffy teased him. "OK have it your way." She took a sip of her beer. "But later I'll have it mine," she winked at him.

"I like it when you have it yours." Danny quipped, looking back to the parade. A fish like costumed person passed by them and threw candy to the crowd.

Buffy reached up, going on tiptoe, and nabbed a handful of candy out of the air with barely a glance at the flying sweets. She winked at a little girl sitting on her father's shoulders and opened her hand, offering the little girl a piece of candy from the several she'd grabbed. The little girl gave her a grin that was missing a couple of teeth and took one of the suckers from her. Buffy took the other sucker, unwrapped it and popped it in her mouth.

"Want some?" she asked, holding her palm open to let Danny select one of the remaining pieces of candy.

It was done so quickly and with such grace that Danny almost missed it. He watched Buffy as she shared with the little girl and then nodded. "Yeah. Yeah I'll take..." He picked out a caramel candy. "This one."

And it wasn't even something she'd thought about. Someone had threw something at her. She'd caught it. Perks of being a slayer. She smiled at Danny and nodded. "Caramel. I'll have to remember you like that."

"I'm a fan of caramels. It's like eatin' sugar." Danny joked as he unwrapped the caramel and popped it into his mouth.

"Mom used to take us to the fair every year when we were little and we'd get these giant caramel apples," Buffy said. "Dawn and I always had to share one which meant we'd end up fighting and I'd end up just giving the whole apple to her because she's a brat. It sticks to my teeth sometimes though."

"The sticking to the teeth part is part of the fun, Sunshine." Danny answered. "So uh... if you can catch a little piece of candy, bet you could catch a baseball."

Buffy looked up at him, her brow furrowed as she pondered what Danny was up to. "Yeah. Definitely. I can catch pretty much anything anyone throws at me." You know like knives, stakes, scythes, etc etc. "Why? Whaddya thinking, Boyfriend?"

"Maybe we can go throw the ball at the park sometimes." Danny said. "I mean I know it's kinda a guy thing but... you know... you wanna?"

Buffy grinned at him then nodded. "It'd be fun. And I don't mind guy things. I like playing sports. I just never could in school. It was too dangerous. I might hurt someone."

Danny shrugged. "What harm is throwin' a ball with me gonna do, right? S'just me. It would be fun."

"With just you, it's fine. But put me in a competitive situation with a bunch of other people...besides, my control is better now. And with you, it's just fun," Buffy nodded. "We could do it tomorrow or something."

"Sounds good to me. Just no hurtin' the hands. Can hurt anything else." Danny squeezed her shoulders.

She turned her head to the side and pressed a kiss to his hand. "I'm more careful wit you than that. Especially with your hands."
