Studying the brown haired man in front of her she blinked at him and mumbled "I’d like to continue the date but only if you want to too?" Moving towards the basket and the straw door that Roscoe held open like a gentleman Natasha didn’t look at the ground.

A very bad move it turned out to be since when she came level with Roscoe her left foot knocked into a stone causing her to knock into him. Hopefully he was a strong man and would stop her from falling. It would be bad to give Izzie back her dress in shreds.


Actually, it was weird, but Roscoe made it a point not to disagree with pretty ladies. Or any ladies.

Uh... or anyone.

She also had a point though. It mattered far less what this Natasha thought about this date than it would matter what Van thought. Even if she did want to continue on, was this really a good idea? Particularly now that Roscoe was "in between homes" as he liked to call it, was peeving his (very stable) brother really smart?

...it apparently didn't matter, because in the next moment Roscoe instinctively held his arms up to catch Natasha. He caught her just inside the door of the balloon basket. Good one Roscoe! Unfortunately, the bad part of this situation came in two parts.

"UMMfffphhhh!"

1. Roscoe Bole, in turn, tripped backwards over the picnic basket with his blind date's weight still in his arms. They were acquainted with the bottom of the basket very quickly.

2. The hot air balloon must not have been completely muggle because as soon as their bodies cleared the door, the balloon began it's slow ascent heavenward on its own.

"Uh..." Indeed. Uh? "Uh.. do uh... did you hurt yourself? I mean, no, I mean, are you hurt?" He was just going to hang in the bottom of the basket and PRETEND he couldn't feel the ground fleeting below him.
