Zack shook his head, after letting Ming-Xue get in the back. He put the key in and started the truck up. It growled, as if not wanting to be woken up, but then complied, settling into an idling roar. He pulled it out of the parking lot and headed down the road to the diner. "I'm getting what I always get, if you were going to ask, like you always do," he said, with a chuckle.

Shrugging loosely, Malia spoke quietly, "I will get the same old too, I guess. By the by... my parents said they're gonna be home soon." Her sentence ended there. Though she normally lived in her apartment for the past year she missed the family life, and wondered if she should go back and live with them. That would mean probably leaving the super-hero stuff, and she knew she couldn't do it. But she missed her family too. Oh, the contradictions everything posed for her.

"Wow. Been a while, hasn't it? I guess it'll be the most exciting thing happening." He winked at her. Unless of course, something were to blow up in our faces at the diner, but hey, what's the chance of that happening?" Very high actually. It seemed like super-heroes were magnets for trouble. Ah well, it made life interesting, right?

Softly smiling, Malia turned her body to stare dazedly out the widow for the rest of the short ride. "Oh what to so, oh what to do," she breathed, glazed over in thoughts. Shr hoped no trouble would arise while they ate dinner. Yawning, she untied her hair tie and let her hair fall aroundher face, hiding her emotions for afew quick seconds as she tied her hair back up. "Should Igo back?" she wondered aloud.

"Go back where?" asked Zack, noticing her spacey features. She had probably not meant to say that out loud. Oh well. Too late now. He yawned and parked the truck in front of the diner, shutting off the engine. He hopped out of the car, leaped, and slid over the hood. He walked over to the other door and opened it for Mal, bowing low. "After you, m'lady."

With a small smile, Malia laughed, "Why thank you, Sir Zacharia!" Knowing that would get him made she squeaked a, "No!" and rushed into the diner in a flurry. She didn't really mean to, it just slipped! And now she was probably hiding for her life in the usual booth. Oh why did she pick the usual booth? Oh well, it was probably too late and so all she could do was crush herself into the small corner of the booth and hope for the best.

"Oi!" Zack let Ming-Xue out, before slamming the door shut and locking it. He ran into the diner, straight to their usual booth, where she was sure to be hiding, and he tackled her onto the bench. "I told you not to call me Zacharia!" He growled, a grin hiding under his mock anger.

Squeaking, "Ge'off me you lump!" with a laugh, she tried to push him off but she knew there was no point in her even trying. Laughing so hard her eyes were wet she said, "Okay! Fine! I give! I give!" Her eyes were sincere yet mocking as she said that. But, oh, she did mean it when she said, "I'm sorry," right after that, but unlike many people sh couldn't help that the mischevious twinkle stayed in her eyes. Soshe settled fora grin rather than a straight face.

Ming-Xue had absolutely nothing to say as he was half-dragged along. He wasn't paying enough attention to really hear what the two were doing, but only as the truck door was slammed shut did the Asian stop spacing out and glance around.
"So, uh, what do they have here?" he asked, hooking his thumbs into his pockets as he took a seat across from the two. "If you two are free and I'm not interrupting anything by asking," he added with a wicked grin, pointedly looking to a side, a mock expression of bashfulness on his face.
Zack let go of Mal, and shoved down the light shade of pink that would have attacked his features had he not been so used to being a grinning madman. "What do they have in all diners? Burgers, fries, hot dogs, maybe a salad, shakes. That kind of stuff." He shrugged, pulling Mal up into a sitting position simply by grabbing her arm. Of course, he was gentle with her. It wasn't the grab-and-pull a kidnapper might do.
