but doesn't it get lonely riding up there to the sun?

[The long-awaited party, which has mostly been of Donna's design, or at least organisation, has ended up being held on a friendly alien planet that among other things, features a mini private theme park that can be hired out to groups. The main party is taking place inside a huuuuge party room which opens onto a small garden that features some of the local wildlife - a type of plant that blows huge, completely natural bubbles at random moments. Since the room's been hired out for... a while, let's say, there's some lanterns set up outside for when it starts getting dark.

Inside the room itself, there's a large table laden with more than enough food for all the guests, some of which looks distinctly non-Earthling. This includes the largest birthday cake ever (of course the Doctor insisted on a cake). Balloons are scattered in the corners and there's a currently silent and unoccupied, slightly alien looking music system waiting to spring into life.]


((OOC: Okay guys, here's the deal: this works a little like an event post in that you can get your character to start their own threads and reply to other people's - otherwise my post will end up dead with one huge thread and everyone else will get bored. XD; This post is open to any of Haruhi's friends and "family" to drop by, as Ten will have been sure to let them all know where it was! Have fun! ♥))

Girls, we're going out somewhere for dinner together tonight. My treat. You can pick where we go, if you like. What do you say?

[Ten is, to put it lightly, completely and utterly fed up at the moment - with the universe at large, yes, but mostly with himself for being a prize idiot. He's called Itsuki's phone ahead of time to speak to her and tell her that he's coming along, but their conversation didn't last long and it was more than a little strained. Which he guesses he can't blame her for.

At all, in fact.

Suffice it to say that his nerves are now a lot more frazzled than they've been in a while. Monsters? No problem. Overthrowing dictatorships, stopping wars, saving as many lives as he can? He's your man. But domesticity - he hasn't been able to manage domesticity properly since he regenerated into his ninth incarnation. He tries, but it's difficult, and this little incident has just proved why.

Bugger this. He stands in a corridor in Itsuki's house and rubs his hands over his face before he knocks on the door of the living room, where he's been told Haruhi is.]
