Sindy's POV
Yeah, I kind of expected him to act that way. When it comes to war games, he's the one to talk to; any other thing is crap to him. Everyone went to bed, well, except for me. I walked out to the Bounty's upper deck and just sat on the wood. I must admit, it's different here, not what I expected. Not even close to what I dreamed it could be… But… There's something missing… I thought of my friends and family back home. I wondered if they're worried like psychos. Man would I give anything just to see Joey's grin again or hear Lindsy's rants. I sighed and laid back, looking up at the stars.
I heard someone open the door but it was too dark to see who it was. "Hey Sindy," I heard him say. It sounded like Nathan.
"Hey Nathan," I replied.
"What are you doing out so late?"
"Thinking like I usually do."
"Oh, well, could I join you then?"
That was a start. "Um, sure, I guess."
He layed down next to me. "Thinking of home?"
"Yeah, I miss it."
"Me too." He paused, as if trying to think of what to say. "Well, we never know where God may take us these days now do we?"
I shrugged. "That is true, I mean, look at where he got us in space, we went to the moon!"
"Yeah, but now we are probably farther from Earth, but hey, at least we're together right?"
"Yeah." I giggled a bit.
"What's so funny?"
"I wonder how Samson will survive without his precious video games."
"That is true; when it comes to a boy and a good video game, then you get a boy droning over a game for many hours."
"Yeah. Hey, you want to know something funny? I rarely play video games during the school year."
"What? What do you do all day then?"
"Type stories in my room and do homework."
"No wonder you don't know how to socialize; you're not caught up on what's popular these days."
"Well it's kind of hard when it's stupid, I mean come on, what does Cartoon Network think kids are, idiots?"
"Well, I have to admit sometimes they are silly, but that's the way it's supposed to be."
"When I'm older, I'm going to show my kids good shows, no Regular Show or any of that."
He laughed. "That's almost like taking away candy from a baby."
"Oh well, they'll get fruits and vegetables instead."
We laughed and continued to look at the stars. "Hey, if we never do make it back, what would you want to do here?"
I had to think about that for a while. "I'll still go for my career as a math teacher, but I guess I might try for a ninja too. How about you?"
"I don't know, I guess whatever Ninjago has to offer."
"Hey, maybe you could make it as a ninja too."
"You think so?"
"Yeah, you have the skill and everything right? You would make a great protector of Ninjago. Plus, you would be able to learn an elemental power."
"Wow, that'd be fun."
"Yeah." We both got up. "Well, goodnight I guess."
"Goodnight Sindy." We walked inside and went to our rooms.
Samson's POV
I heard the door open and close once more. Little did Nathan know that I had seen the whole thing on the deck. Should I bother him about not making a move now? No, I'll save it for later. He'll have her for my name isn't Jim Carry!
As I watched him enter his bed, I saw that he was walking as if he were walking on delicate flowers. Scary, I thought.
"Oh Sindy, why can't I make you see? Why must I be so… so shy of you? You're all that I need to live out to my fullest; the completion to my puzzle that I have been trying to fix, you, my love, are my last piece!" Nathan recited. I muffled a little laugh. Ha, this guy really needs to learn something more romantic than that, I thought. He must of heard my laughter though since he turned and looked straight into my eyeballs. "Samson? Did you just…"
"Hear what you said?" I finished, "Sure did. If you were being judged on a scale from one to ten, I'd say that that was a negative 5."
"Who are you to judge?"
"Your friend who has had more experience with girls than you." That was another difference. I've been out with girls; this is Nathan's first. Nathan sighed and laid on his bed. "It's ok dude, first timers are always like this."
"Even you?"
"Well, not really, but I will admit I was a tiny bit nervous."
"Gee, that's really helpful right about now," he said, sighing.
"All you need to know is that you are getting there at least," I told him.
"You think so?"
"Yeah, well, for a girl that has trouble with socializing."
He looked at me. "Did you…"
"Goodnight Nathan," I said quickly, laying back down and pretending to fall asleep. Ha, sucker.
