Honolulu Heights, Friday

[chosehumanity]

So several people had been promised a housewarming party - and George had managed to convince Mitchell not to invite everyone in the whole neighbourhood, so chances were it might not even end in disaster - which would double as a 'welcome back, Annie!' party.

That meant tea. And biscuits. But mostly loads of tea. (And little finger sandwiches; Annie had insisted, claiming they were 'classy'.)

And leis. Annie had been vocal about those, too.

But: now the place was ready, after a week of running around and shopping and arguing and laughing and then running around some more. Time to celebrate.

[[ for those who were invited, and for anyone who thinks they might have been invited! ]]

Whoever answered the door... would be Mitchell, grinning and all. "Hey, you," he said, and Bod got a no less-enthusiastic, "Bod, right?" with a chill nod of his head.

"Yes," Bod said, nodding and...carrying the wine like a professional. "It's a pleasure to see you again. Thank you for inviting me."

"He means 'hiiii'," Kate translated. Because that was totally what he'd meant. "We come bearing gifts!"

And this was obviously where she held her gift out for Mitchell. When unwrapped, it would turn out to be six bowls made out of vinyl records ('70s and '80s pop), and a set of matching coasters.

"And I've wine," Bod said, holding it up in case Mitchell hadn't seen said wine. "I didn't pick it out so I do hope Kate picked the right bottle."

"Does it have alcohol in it? Because we're not very discerning drinkers," Mitchell said, flashing Bod a grin as he accepted Kate's gift. "Come in, both of you," he added, stepping aside to let them in.

Kate snickered. "It's got alcohol, don't worry," she said as she moved to go past Mitchell, then stopped briefly to reach up and try and kiss him on the cheek, because her good mood and affection for people would not and could not be contained.

It was a party, people!
