At The Ivy (original) (raw)

17 August 2008 @ 06:03 pm

Finally the night is here. It's the opening night of Hamlet. We're so excited. David is already at the theater, they had one more rehearsal and he's gonna be all ready. I'm about to leave myself. It'll be the first night I'll officially be out in the public eye since the announcement of the pregnancy, and since David's worried sick about me going on my own, though he shouldn't be, he's asked Daniel to escort me to the show. Daniel is also very excited to have front row seats with me, and Karen should be showing up too.

*is checking herself in the mirror by the door, applying her finishing touch of ruby red lipstick when there's a knock at the door. Smiling, she caps the lipstick, putting it into her black clutch as she rubs her lips together and then opens the door. There is Daniel, looking very much the 007 part of her protector, as he adjusts his cufflinks*

~Mrs. McDonald. *gives a curt nod with a hint of a smile* You look spectacular. Looks like that could kill. Trust me... *winks* I should know.

*beams* Why thank you Mr. Craig. You clean up rather nice yourself. But really, please, call me Billie.

~*smiling, he offers her his arm* As long as you call me Daniel. Which car are we taking, Billie?

*slips her arm through his and handing him the keys as they go to the driveway* The Aston Martin. David was tickled pink by the idea of you pulling up to his premiere as Bond.

~Brilliant. *opens the passenger door and helps her in* Alright then, let's get to the show.

Current Mood: excited

*they arrive to the park, same as they had yesterday, going into the park and she grabs another map on their way in. It's still early morning, and the park is still relatively empty. As they wander down Main Street, she opens the map in front of them*

So we have some time before we should grab lunch, I think, and that's where we'll see Piglet and the rest of the gang from the Hundred Acre Woods. So what do you feel like doing first?

Current Mood: happy

*they take the monorail straight from the hotel lobby to the Entrance Plaza, going through the turnstiles with hands still held tightly together, smiles plastered all over their faces. As they come in, one of the photographer Cast Members offers to take their picture in front of the Main Street Train Depot. She smiles up at David* What do you think? The first of many?

Current Mood: excited

Current Music: A special version of Many a New Day on the craftily hidden park speakers

*Standing at gate 47 of Heathrow airport, hands laced together with Billie, waiting on the plane to pull up to the jet way.*

Oi, I'm so excited! I want one of those giant rainbow lolly pops.

Current Mood: excited

Current Music: Jack Johnson: Losing Hope

Current Mood: good

*David and Billie are standing outside the Hard Rock Cafe, London waiting on John and Liz. David is wearing a black leather jacket left open and a white T-shirt tucked into blue jeans. He has a cigarette tucked behind his ear. Billie is wearing a pink head band, a blue jean jacket, a pink poodle skirt, black stockings, and matching pink high heels. David is slyly combing his hair, following the black comb with his other hand as he pulls it through his hair. He has a curl pulled from his bangs lying on his forehead. The Beatles can be heard blaring inside.*

Current Mood: excited

Current Music: The Beatles: Paperback Writer

*Walks in smiling, looking at everything on the walls*

This is going to be brilliant, doll!

Current Mood: excited

Current Music: Simon & Garfunkel: The Boxer

Current Mood: happy

*They pull up to the Eye and are directed by security guards towards the back of the building. David is driving with John in the front and Liz and Molly in the back. There are fans with signs and photographers all over. The area is roped off and security standing guard every few feet. David rolls down the window and stops for a second sticking his head out*

Thank you for coming! We love you! *He waves and pauses for a moment for pictures before driving on*

OI, this is going to be brilliant. I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!

Current Mood: ecstatic

Current Music: Jack Johnson: Inaudible Melodies (Acoustic Unrealsed)

*gets out of his car (Ford Focus) when they arrive at their destination* Here we are, mate. I rented the room upstairs for us here at The Well. I was going to do The Ivy, but I thought this would be better.

*John is actually wearing something nice (and black), including the Yin necklace, his black braclet, and his father's old ring; he is also holding a wrapped package under his arm*

Current Mood: satisfied
