WHO: Tom-kun & Baroona-chan
WHERE: Buttermilk Falls
WHEN: Weekend Weekend
WARNINGS: Tom always screws up when he tries to be nice to Baroona... So, we'll see.
SUMMARY: Baroona needs to get out of the City for a while. Getting people out seems to be Tom's job lately.
FORMAT: Quick

[Baroona had mentioned that the City was too much sometimes, so Tom had been planning to take him on a small trip for a weekend, just to help him feel more at home for a while. Besides, Tom figured that camping out with him was infinitely better than staying in the park where there could be rats and drifters and such.

Of course, Tom, being the genius that he is when it comes to hanging out with Baroona, figured that it would be a surprise, and didn't tell the other guy until he'd already rented a car and, by some miracle, got Baroona inside of it... Which, in retrospect was the worst idea ever, and the trip was pretty much miserable until he finally convinced the gladiator to take some medicine and fall asleep in the back.

Thankfully, he slept the rest of the way until they made it to the falls, and Tom woke him up.]

[] I wouldn't let you.

[He grins playfully.] I didn't have much trouble this first time. You're still not used to modern medicine, I'm guessing.

[]

... No.

[Tom just shrugs and takes a drag of his cigarette, amused even under Baroona's glare.]

I think there's something that can help with your carsickness and won't put you to sleep.

It's not really possible to walk to most of these places.

I don't get sick on them. []

[Tom knows. Hence the sleeping pills.]

We'll figure something out. I got you here in one piece, didn't I?

Yeah... []

It's okay to say it, I know I'm the greatest.

[]

Hardly.

[He chuckles.]

But you're happy, right? This was a good idea?
