Roch hadn't slept well for the past two nights. In fact he yawned loudly, walking right past Danny as he headed for the front gate of the school--not even seeming to see her there. He'd finally come to the conclusion that he needed to do some serious shopping--seriously quickly. Cupcakes were at the top of his list, but he'd get them last, he decided, mentally going over his list.
Idly he pulled his keys out of his pocket, tossing them in the air and catching them over and over again as he walked.

"Hi Roch. Roch. Roch I said hi. ROCH. ROCH IM G-"
B|
Danny ran in front of him and intercepted the keys, and then proceeded to run away from wherever he had been going.

He blinked. "Oye, Danny, y'don't know HOW t'drive a bike," he said stupidly. "An'I sorrtta need my bike t'go to the maul for this trip--"
Was he supposed to chase after her? Idly he yawned again as he pondered this question. He could just... hotwire the thing. He'd put it together, after all, it wouldn't be too much work--

"I can drive a car and that's like the same thing!!" Danny exclaimed, keeping her death grip on the keys. By this point she was running circles at Roch, who was non-chalantly shrugging off her normal behavior.
The maul? Why was he going to the maul?
Her curiosity piqued, Danny at least stopped running around and assumed his pace. "Whatcha gonna get at the maul huh?"

"Um--" Roch's neck turned a bit red as he reached up to scratch the back of his scalp. "Maybe a gift for Amphi?" he said, looking like he was a little embarrassed by that fact. "Y'know, since we're... dating." Mannnn, lame excuse was lame. "I figured maybe some candles and cupcakes and stuff."

Danny's mouth curled in a smile as Roch got all embarrassed. She thought it was hilarious when Roch went romantic, so this was a treat to her. "That's nice of you," she commented. "I don't think Rikki's ever gotten me presents ... oh well I guess he bought me a new guitar since mine broke ..." She put her hand on her chin. Yeah, no real significant presents came to mind. That was kind of sad, actually.
She snorted at Roch's "idea" for a present. "Dude what? That's so lame. You sound like its her birthday or something." Candles, cake- it was generic.
"You should get her something really special. Like ... like something only she would like." It might have sounded like genuinely nice advice, but Danny was literally thinking of a flaming fish at the moment. Real sensitive, that one.

"........." He stared at her for a long moment. "Okay, fine, come with me and YOU help me find somethin' only she would like, cuz right now I'm pullin' a blank." Although he'd thought sea salt scented candles were pretty perfect, but--well, Danny WAS a ghoul, right? She would know better than he did!
You know... sometimes Roch can be a serious moron.

Danny thought about it for a moment. Then another moment. Did she want to waste her whole day goofing around with Roch being embarrassed over Amphi? Something she could hold over him as blackmail at a future time? Of course.
"Only if you buy me lunch!" Danny said excitedly. They'd arrived at the motorcycle and Danny assumed her position on the front of the bike, throwing the key in the ignition. Her hands were on the handles, but she had no clue what she was doing.
Nonetheless she looked back at Roch. "Okay let's go! Hop on!" Nevermind that the bike wasn't even turned on.

"Danny... I don't mind dyin', I've done it a million times--but there's no jackin' WAY I'm gonna let y'crash my bike," he said. "Now giddoff, we'll find a field t'teach y'in later, okay?" he said. "And someone else's bike."

Danny was in the middle of making VROOOOOOOOOOM and BEEP BEEP noises when Roch told her to move. She sent him an astute pout and then slid back a "seat" on the motorcycle.
"Fine," she huffed. It was clearly not fine.

"This sucker took me a month--and way too much time dealin' with my old man--for me t'risk it," he told her as he fumbled his way onto the bike--it wasn't easy when someone was already sitting on it. But somehow they managed and he handed back his second helmet. Which smelled like Amphi, if she was the type to notice.
"Maybe a dirt bike," he said. "That way we can put this course up t'ride, lots of hills and ramps and stuff." Then he started the bike.

Danny might have kicked him as he sat down.
---
They arrived at the maul and Danny dismounted first, eager to let go of Roch's backside. It was never fun for her to be so lovey dovey with him- in fact it was downright unbearable. At least his helmet smelled nice, for reasons she wasn't aware of.
"What about minipets?" she asked, "Rikki always likes those..." Then again, that was Rikki, king of minipet land.

"Yeah? What type of minipet?" he asked as he turned off his bike, kicked the kickstand down and added the clamp before getting off. "Fish? She's got that huge a** aquarium," he said, thinking about it. "But she don't seem that huge on my punkeesh... plus, they tend t'eat other fish if y'ain't careful..."
He headed for the door, his mind full of minipets. Then he stopped. "I still say cupcakes. She'll go to WAR over cupcakes."

Danny shoved him and said, "You'd eat all the cupcakes before we got back with 'em."
The idea of fish made Danny a tad squeamish. She didn't feel comfortable next to a big box of water, even if it was for Amphi. She'd hug the wet mermaid, but she wouldn't swim around in it.
"Maybe ... a necklace?" Her own hand unconsciously went to the rings around her neck, particularly to the one with a big orange gem. Those always made her feel special.

"Eh, already gave her that," Roch said, holding up his hand. There was no ring on his middle finger. "She's got my pick ring on a chain," he added. "I mean, sure I could give her another, I guess..."
Couldn't really give her earrings... and other piercings were out, he was pretty sure she'd not want a tongue stud or nose ring or something... "Bracelets or rings, maybe," he said, but he wasn't really sold on the idea. They entered the maul and he looked around, hesitating.
"Music, maybe?" he offered.
