" Vash stop it that tickles!" Violet giggled as Vash trailed kissed down her neck and twirled her hair a little. " Hmmmm... you know... I don't feel like stopping, I think I'll just keep going." he teased, he continued to kiss her neck softly, but suddenly she let out a small moan and covered her mouth with her hand. " I-I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." she placed a hand on her forehead, suddenly chills ran up her spine as Vash ran his fingertips gently along her collarbone. " V-Vash... what's with the sudden flirtatiousness?" she asked. Vash shrugged and pulled her onto his lap. " I don't know. I mean... the train is moving, and we are alone in this car... so..." he winked. Violet stared at him in shock, then smirked a little. " What are you trying to say?" she asked, rolling over so she was crawling on top of him. " I'm saying that... well... with the situation we're in... why not?" he traced her jawline with his fingers and chuckled. " Well..." she giggled and leaned in closer. " Too bad." she stood up and ran to the other side of the train playfully. " Hey!" Vash stood up and ran over to her, he ran behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
He picked her up and spun around, with the small rations they had she had grown surprisingly light, especially since most of the food went to Ivy, what with her pregnancy and all. He chuckled and set her down after a few moments, she turned to him and kissed his lips. " I love you." " I love you more." " I love you with all my heart." " I love you with all mine." he laughed and kissed her cheek softly, when suddenly the train came to a stop, sending them crashing to the floor. Violet laughed as the train started moving again. " Sorry guys! Zhe train vasn't vorking for a second!" Violet rolled her eyes, of course it would break down sometimes. Just their luck.
" Hey Violet." " Hm?" " What do you think it'll be like when we have a kid?" Violet looked over to Vash, who was staring up at the ceiling, daydreaming about something in the hopefully near future. " Good question." Violet looked at one of the windows in the train car. " Well... for starters... everything should be back to normal first. Second, we would have to get married first. Third... well... we'd live in this cute little home, right by the water..." she paused, picturing the life she always wanted as a little girl, the life that had been torn away from her. " … yeah... with a big backyard... right near a lake or pond... no ocean though... too much dangerous stuff in the ocean. We'd have cute little puppy that our kid would grow up with... yeah... then when our baby turned three or so... we'd have another... and maybe get a little kitten at some point. You and I would be the best parents ever... go to all their sports games... dances... school plays or concerts... maybe one of them would be in the chorus! Wouldn't that be great Vash?" Violet asked. She looked over to him and saw him looking at her. " Do you think everything would be back to normal before nine months?"
Violet shrugged and looked back up to the ceiling. " I hope so. It'd definitely speed up our life together huh?" Vash grabbed her chin softly and made her look at him, he had a look in his eyes... one that said something to her... more then words ever could. She smiled and kissed him softly, he kissed her back, embracing her tightly and running his fingers through her long red hair. She pulled away and smiled ever so gently. " Never leave me." she begged. " I won't... I promise... I be with you straight until the end." Violet smiled and hugged him tightly. " Good. You better. I'll remember that you promised." suddenly the train came to a sudden halt again, but this time for a different reason. " Oh shit!" the sound of moaning could be heard from the sides as someone... or something began to bang on the door.
" Oh crap dudes. I think that- Ahhhh!"
" Alfred! Hey you guys should- AHHH!"
" Ivy? Sis? Where- AHHHH!"
" Peter!"
" Ivy?!"
" Gil?"
" Where are Vash and Violet?!"
" In the other car!"
" Come on!"
Ivy and Gilbert came crashing through the doors. " We lost the others! I think we have time to disconnect these two cars from the main part of the train! But we don't have all day so let's move!" the four ran to the main section of the train where all the controls were. Violet stayed back and wrenched the part the connected them out and turned to the others. " Go!" the train lurched forward, going nearly full speed, when Violet looked back what she saw horrified her. Thousands of them were chasing after them, slowly making their way toward them, and from what Violet could see, even a minute or two longer could have cost her her life. " Violet! Are jou alright?!" Gilbert ran to her and grabbed her shoulders. " Yeah I'm fine... just... surprised." she could hear Ivy quietly crying from the inside of the train. " I can't believe we just left them." she sobbed. " I'm sorry Ivy, but they were bitten. Badly. We couldn't take them or we'd all be screwed." Vash pointed out.
" I know. It's just so sad." she sniffled and stood up. Slowly but surely she made her way over to Violet and sat next to her on the edge of the platform, her feet hanging off the edge. " You gave me quite the scare the other day you know." Ivy mumbled, to which Violet nodded. " I didn't even get to apologize to Alfred. I feel horrible... but... at the same time... I don't." she sighed as Ivy looked at her curiously. " I don't understand." " I just don't really know what to feel... with all these deaths... I guess I'm just used to it at this point." she shrugged and stood up. " Well, it's just the four of us I guess." Violet helped Ivy to her feet and lead her into the booth. " Are we still going to Savannah?" Violet asked. Gilbert sighed quietly and rested his head against the steering wheel. " I don't know anymore Violet. But... I guess... if ve could get a boat... zhen ve'd be fine." he mumbled. " Alright... I guess it's our best bet then." Vash sighed. Violet stared out into the distance where the ocean could be vaguely seen. " We'll be okay... I know we will..." she muttered. Violet turned to look at the other three, but in the end looked to her boyfriend and hugged him tightly, as if he was her last hope... which... in all reality... he was.
