Trooper Station: Wednesday

Dale sits cheerfully at his desk, whistling as he completes his paperwork for the week and eating his third jelly doughnut.

"Ralph? I have some tapes for you to transcribe," Dale called out as he signed off on his last piece of paperwork.

However Ralph was no where to be found.

"Ralph? Ralph? Where the devil did he go?" Dale said looking around the office and then addressing the gathering of troopers at the coffee station. "Oh well. Which one of you boys are up for transcribing my tapes today?"

The troopers gave Dale a baleful look before going back to their coffee talk.

As usual, Charlotte had made far too many cupcakes for her class of an entire six people, but, as it turned out, she knew exactly somewhere to go on Wednesdays to get rid of them.

Funny how it worked out so nicely like that.

"Dale! I've got cupcakes!"

"Ah!" Dale said with amusement as he stood up to greet her. "Looks like the Princess Ballerina made a tad too many for class today."

"Now that isn't fair," Charlotte said with a small laugh, good humored to cover up her faint embarrassment, as she set the box of remaining cupcakes on the desk. "I can't make fun of back, since you actually did become what you wanted, although if you've still got that picture of J. Edgar Hoover in your wallet, there is that."

"And I always make too much. I know there's only six of them, but you'd think teenagers would eat more."

"Well there loss is my gain," Dale said replied before giving a little sigh. "And yes... I still have the picture in my wallet. And if you want further ammunition I actually took the picture to my interview for my admission to Quantico to show the interviewer. I believe the kids in this day in age would qualify me as being a 'giant dork'."

"Awwww," Charlotte gushed with her laugh musically increased. "Yeah, no making fun of me for wanting to be a princess ballerina. I at least grew out of it."

...Kind of.

"A truce then," Dale said with a grin. "Right after you come through on your promise. I believe you said something about dancing for me? Or was that only in effect when were were small and tiny?"

[identity profile] perfectmissyork.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Charlotte shot Dale a bit of a look. "Considering my aspirations to be a ballerina ended by the time I was eight and a half, that was certainly a one time only offer. Unless, of course, you're offering a scenario where you might be dancing with me."

"Well there is the policeman's ball this Saturday," Dale said tilting his head. "But I wasn't sure when you were heading out of town."

[identity profile] perfectmissyork.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Charlotte gave a faint smile, "Oh, I could easily push that back until Sunday since the mun's plane doesn't leave 'til then, la. Since I do owe up on my end of the bargain, and that sounds rather nice, anyway."

[identity profile] pieandcoffee.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are you sure?" Dale asked smiling back. "I'd hate to take any time away from your friends. Though I'd probably have to end up dancing with Roy and Ralph."

"Oh, well," Charlotte said, in a tone that clearly sealed the deal, "far be it from me to deprive them the pleasure."

[identity profile] pieandcoffee.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"You won't be jealous?" Dale said looking amused. "I'm told Ralph can be rather grabby."

[identity profile] perfectmissyork.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Charlotte couldn't help a laugh. "I am coming back, you know. And I think Ralph knows that if he does get grabby, then there will be a not-so-mysterious cessation in baked good being brought down to the station. So he'll just have to decide which goods he likes better."

Dale chuckled. "Charlotte? You know exactly how to drive a point home. Are you looking forward to your trip home?"

[identity profile] perfectmissyork.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Preening a little for the compliment, Charlotte smiled with a small nod. "I am. Although I still feel a bit bad about having to miss another class, but if I don't do it now, the timing isn't going to work out so nicely for all of us again, so it's just a sacrifice I'll have to make. I doubt the kids would really mind that much anyway."

[identity profile] pieandcoffee.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, if you'd like, I'd be happy to substitute for you," Dale offered. "I'm sure I could come up with something to keep them occupied."

[identity profile] perfectmissyork.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Really?" Charlotte asked, another grin blossoming on her face. "You wouldn't mind?"

[identity profile] pieandcoffee.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"For you?" Dale said with wave of his hand. "Not a bit. Besides it's good for a law enforcement officer to reach out to the community."

[identity profile] perfectmissyork.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'd love for you to do that, then," Charlotte decided brightly. "And it would be a nice change of pace for the kids, too, I think."

It definitely earned him a soft kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, Dale."

[identity profile] pieandcoffee.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Anything for you, my dear Charlotte," Dale said leaning over to give her a quick kiss on nose. "So do you have any big plans for your return to New York?"

[identity profile] perfectmissyork.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no, nothing too big," Charlotte waved a dismissive hand a little. "Just catching up, maybe see an exhibit or two to see what my old competition is doing. Nothing big at all. Boring even, really."

"This island has already jaded you for the big city, hasn't it?" Dale teased.
