---

Harley Quinn has posed:
Bowling time was over! Lots of puns and stolen kisses and new balls for them to put to use. They had even got into a sort of friendly rivalry contest with another team playing.

"Oh man, did ya see their faces when you nailed that last strike for the win?" She is still giggling after their hard-fought victory while driving the Jaguar through New York, hand out to feel the night air brushing against it.

"Now. Verdict." And she looks at Ivy while continuing to drive. Good thing it's just a straight line street! "How much did ya enjoy it and when are we gonna go back bowlin'?" a beat, "And remember, your new ball will be there waiting when we go!" awwww, how can anyone say no to those baby blue wide eyes?

And they are even only a little bit unhinged right now. Just perfect.

Pamela Isley has posed:
"Well, I suppose it wasn't all that terrible..."

The fact that Pamela admitted that much doesn't seem like much to normal people. But, for Harley, it says volumes. And...Pamela follows up with an admission, of sorts. "I did kinda like their expressions when we won. So, yeah. I had fun." But, then she holds up a hand, with her thumb and index finger spaced apart about an inch. "A little."

But yeah. There it is. Pamela had some fun. And, because of those eyes affixed upon Pamela, she reluctantly offers a nod. "We can go back later. If you really want."

That's a win for Harley...

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley sucks in some breath at those magical words out of Ivy: 'Wasn't all that terrible!'

In Ivy speech (which Harley is already writing a nice dictionary of) it clearly means 'I fully loved it and oh boy am I gonna want to repeat it soon!' Okay, maybe Harley is exaggerating a little. But it's her dictionary. Her rules!

It all shows in her face when a delighted little glow comes to the clownette's expression. "Oooh, you said the F word." this is sort of a pivotal event for Harley that she immediately commits to memory, "Fun." and she leans over to wrap an arm around Pam, bringing her close to her.

"That's what I want for you, Pam. Fun. Happiness." she leans her forehead against her green-skinned lover, "That will make me happy too."

Bright lights glare out suddenly from in front of them. Clearly someone isn't paying attention where they are driving!

Pamela Isley has posed:
Yes...there is certainly some exaggeration to be had with Harley. There was no proclamation of love for the game. But, Pamela didn't walk out, so there was something. She liked it. Nothing that she is going to divulge that fact anytime soon.

Still...it is nice to Harley happy. And Pam is okay with that. Even if she did say the dreaded F-word and actually meant it.

Fun. The sheer thought sends shivers.

Oddly enough, the fact that Harley is paying more attention to Ivy than the road does not seem to frighten her. Again, perhaps a bit used to that sort of thing. Yet, when headlights threaten to blind the pair, Pam does some quick thinking. A hand lashes out, grabbing the wheel and giving it a quick jerk, to serve out of the way of the oncoming car. At the same time, Ivy barks out "Harls! Eyes on the road!"

The Jaguar dips and dives, but is definitely responsive to the sudden directional change. Hopefully, Ivy manages to not run into anything with her little action.

Harley Quinn has posed:
The sudden bright lights and then the crazy steering out of Pam has Harley yelping in a panic, "Aaaahhhhh!" her hands up in the air. Yet Ivy's driving is good enough and this may not be the first time she has to do this so ....

Nothing gets hit and as Ivy gets the car back on it's right lane is when Harley turns around on her seat, knees up on it and she shaking a fist at the other car, "Watch where ya goin', pal! I was drivin' heah.." not that she is right now considering it's Ivy with her hand on the wheel. But then she flips around to sit once more, "Some people just shouldn't drive, amirite?"

She takes the wheel again, "Good reflexes, babe." and she winks her way.

Pamela Isley has posed:
There was a bit of panic. Nevermind the fact that Ivy sounded completely calm, if not just a tad angry, with her command. And ignore the fact that the hand on that wheel seems dead solid. If someone was to take Pam's pulse, it would betray the fact that, yes, Pam's heart was racing. Still racing, even as she gets the car in the right lane and stable. Close one there.

Then...Harley. Being Harley as she climbs on the back of the seat, shaking her fist while Pam steers. A shake of the head...of course Harley would have to make a scene. But then Harley hits her with the line.

'Some people just shouldn't drive.'

The sheer audacity and confidence that Harley has in that moment, complaining about driving when *she isn't driving* strikes Pam just right...and she laughs. An honest-to-goodness laugh that comes unbidden as Ivy releases the wheel back to Harley. "Sure, babe. whatever you say."
