Joke Thirty Three: Totally the best plan

[crazy_clownwoman]

Ugh, well I don’t think I’m ever drinking milk again after that. Man this place sucks. 

[Action: Harley has the best plan ever. It cannot fail.

A. Does Harley know you? AT ALL? Any form of contact from a hello to long conversations to a, why the hell are you dressed like a clown? She is knocking on your door. ESPECIALLY YOU EDWARD! Though not dressed like a clown this time. Feel free to have no cr with her and answer the door. She get's lost a lot still. 

B. At her house, looking through some papers for something.

C . Red! Harley is hanging out with you. Which is not odd itself. But she’s been looking at you a lot lately.

Well 'doy'.

You're always going ta' be my best friend Red.

[Jeeze stop talkin' crazy.]

...Confused?

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

Feelings are a complicated matter, Harls. Specially when you're half-plant and hate humanity as a whole.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

I guess...

[Goes and sits next to her on the couch.]

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

...What about you? What about what you feel?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Me?

[Looks surprised for a moment. Oh yeah, she had opinions too.]

I'm not sure. I mean I was tryn' ta figure out if you liked me.

But people don't really give good advice anymore. Half the people I asked were like, "oh you should just ask her" and the other half said I should kiss you and see if you slapped me and then there was this really crazy lady who thought I was talkin' about a plant...

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

[Yes, Harls, you do have opinions. And you're allowed to share them.]

People are stupid. You shouldn't have asked them... before getting all worked up about if I liked you or not, you should have focused on if you like me.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Of course I do.

[Did she miss the point again? Maybe.]

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

[She's so used to Harley missing her point it's not even a surprise any more.]

As a friend.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Of course you're my friend.

[However this time she realizes something.... oh...she meant. Ahaa, yeah....she actually hasn't been JUST spending her time trying to figure out what Ivy thought of her...]

A-and I really, really, really like you.

[And because plan B wasn't going well, might as well go onto plan C. You are now being kissed Ivy.]

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

[Her first instict is to tense up, and she's already reaching to push her away before she's aware of it. She catches herself in time though. And just...

...processes it. Because she is a scientist, and unlike Harley she doesn't like to act and see what happens. She actually likes to think things through.

So she takes a second... two... three...

Before tilting her head and closing her eyes, kissing her back. They can... talk about this later. About what this means. She can allow herself a kiss.]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[Pah, thinking is too much work. Besides, she's enjoying the results of the acting without thinking for once.

And after the kiss ends. Just a small little goofy smile.]

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

[...

it's your turn to be stared at, Harley.]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

....I like you a lot.

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

...We both know how you get when it comes to these... kind of things. What if- what if he comes back?

[You must know who she's talking about, Harley.]

I can't stand being his replacement.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[Yeah. She does. And she falls quiet for a moment..]

Yeah......I know. I'm nuts.

[She sighs and leans against the back of the couch.]

If he comes back......I saw him once here. And then they took him away again. So, I've been by myself for almost two years now.

And....I don't want to go back to him. That stupid truth event made me realize even I know what a horrible relationship it is.... I just didn't want to admit it. And it was easier to lie.

......If he comes back. ...I don't want anything to do with him.

[A sad laugh.]

But my track record ain't the greatest with that, is it?

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

[She reaches for her hand, squeezing it lightly.]

No, it 'ain't'. Like being a second-best isn't my forte, either. I do...

[She swallows, she still hadn't said it out loud hadn't she?]

... I do like you. I just need a little reassurance I won't be tossed away if he arrives. Or if we ever get back and he...

He's there. Waiting.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[When Ivy says she likes her, Harley looks really happy for a moment. Even if her smiles drops as Ivy continues.]

You're not second best though. You're my best friend ever. No matter what.

And....I'm not goin' back to him when we get back Red. Even before I figured all this out....I wasn't planning to go back. I'm tired of being used as a punching bag, of being shoved around and ignored. I'm just tired of all of that....getting pushed out windows...

[And just...quiet voice.]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to die if I stay with him.

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

...

[She isn't going to deny that last part, she's pretty sure that's true.]

I am a way better catch than he would ever be, anyway. [Look at her trying to joke to relieve some of the tension.]

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[And she smiles at that.]

I don't think anyone could argue with that Red.

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

...So what are we supposed to do, now?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

I dunno....

You like me. I like you...

What do you think we should do?

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

Well, I thought the kissing was rather nice.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

You know I was just thinking that.

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

You read my mind, then.

[And because Harls did the kissing last time, she leans to cup her cheek and peck her lips this time.]
