HI!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay I have far too much time on my hands because here is another one-shot (Marshmallow Bessie???) for you all to read and rate. I'm quite proud of this one because there is a lot of dialouge! I know I hate it but this one just turned out to have a lot of it.
Thanks to you all for reviewing and reading my last one.
SAme rules apply as always.

"Sky will you hurry up and choose where this bloody thing is going! My arms are starting to become disconnected from my shoulders!" Sky stood tapping her chin, spending an unbelievable amount of time staring at an empty corner, while I stood with a ton weight in my arms waiting for her to tell me where to put it.
"Stop your complaining! The more time I spend thinking about now, the less I will spend re-thinking it and the less time you will have to complain about moving it again." I growled. I knew that no matter how much time she spent considering the placement now I would still be required to move it around six more times until she was satisfied.
"Do we even really need a TV?" I wasn't going to watch it and Sky would only complain about the peppiness of American TV, this was completely superfluous.
"Hunter! We need to keep in touch with what is going on here, if we are ever going to fit in here then we need to start being concerned with what they are!" She had been on a let's make America our home kick for a while now, I had been hoping that she would get distracted with some other project before she started to drag me into this one. I would never say it to her, for fear of my own life, but right now she was startlingly like her mother it was scary. I muttered quietly to myself, cursing her while she walked to another corner to consider the ninety degree angle for an unlimited amount of time.
"Here!" she pointed to that corner, "Definitely here!" I couldn't believe my luck. I tried not to dump the offensive thing in the corner that had been chosen for at this moment in time. I straightened up, rolling my arms trying to get some of the blood back into them. I turned to see Sky staring at me with an expectant look on her face, "What?" I asked warily. Her eyes darted to the box of wires and then back to me, "Oh no! No sky! No! I will not! I refuse!"
"Hunter!" Sky stamped her foot and huffed like she did when she was nine and I wouldn't play Narnia with her. "Well I can't do it! You know that I can't work a toaster let alone tune in a TV! So you're going to have to do it!" she narrowed her eyes daring me to stand up to her. Which I was more than willing to do.
"And you think I'm any better! Electricity is repelled from me; it literally runs to the nearest airport and gets on plane to Mongolia! Where I can never ever harm it!" She huffed again.
"Well then who is going to set it up?" her voice was getting shrill; she always got high pitched when things didn't go her way.
"I don't know, the technology fairy maybe. I'm sure I have their summoning spell somewhere." I knew that we wouldn't use a TV and I was having no regrets about doing an I told you so. Sky stamped her foot.
"Don't you dare get snarky with me Hunter Niall! Or I will make you regret it." I rolled my eyes, Sky liked to think she was scary but she most definitely didn't hold the title for most horrifying in the Eventide clan. Most indecisive suited her better.
"I'm shaking, really terrified." I smirked then she hit me, which really did hurt.
"Hunter! If neither of us does it then we have a useless lump of plastic sitting in our living room."
"Yes." I stated, failing to follow why she thought this wasn't going to happen. I got hit again.
"I'm Serious, Hunter, What the bloody flip are we going to do with it?" I winced as her voice got dangerously high, I thought I saw the windows rattle a little.
"Well, I don't know! We could dress it up, draw some eyes on it and call it Clive. He could become our little mascot." Sky growled at me and stomped out of the room and up the stairs. I shuddered as I heard a strangled scream after the heavy slam of a door. I let out a breath knowing I was going to pay dearly for my impudence later, "This is all your fault Clive." I glared at the TV set. I went to put the kettle on knowing that making Sky a cup of tea would appease her somewhat.
Steam had just started pouring out of the spout with a whistle when I sensed Morgan nearby. I breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the door to greet her. Her head was down as she walked up the path, her long hair gleaming in the early spring sun. She sensed me and looked up her beautiful face breaking out into a gleaming smile. I thanked the goddess for all my good luck.
I pulled her into my arms when she reached the door and buried my face into her hair, revelling in the warmth it still held from the sunlight. "Hey." She whispered into me giggling, "Did you miss me?" I nodded dumbly into her, tightening my arms around her.
"You know why I love you?" I asked her, she shook her head, "because you are completely sane and quite rational." She giggled and pulled back to look at me.
"That's why?" Her eyebrows raised; "Sheesh ... Hunter make a girl feel special." She also hit my arm, what is it with women and whacking? I slung an arm around her shoulders and we ambled inside.
"Believe me, it's special and fantastic to me." kissing her temple, she looked at me quizzically and I shook my head, knowing that I wouldn't be able to explain it properly. "Tea?" I asked her, while she dumped her school stuff on my kitchen table.
"Please," she stretched her arms over her head, exposing a slither of pale skin distracting me momentarily, and went to the cupboards and started getting mugs down, "Will Sky want a cup?" she asked.
I nodded, "It's my peace offering." She smiled at me, shaking her head slightly. I poured out the cups and handed one to Morgan, "I'll take this up to her." I kissed her on the mouth quickly before padding tentatively up the stairs towards the lioness's lair. I left the cup outside the door and tapped gently knowing that Sky would understand the gesture. I went back down the stairs, desperate to get back to Morgan.
Who was standing in the living room staring at Clive with a strange look on her face. She turned to me, "You have a TV?" she questioned.
"No, we have a useless box of wires and plastic." I wrapped my arms around her waist, bending my head to kiss the base of her neck. "Named Clive." She snorted.
"Why don't you hook it up?" she sounded as if it was the most obvious thing in the World, which technically it was.
"Because Hunter is too Stubborn to do it!" Sky huffed from behind us, her arms crossed in petulance.
"No because I don't know how to do it and because I'm not wasting my time getting frustrated over a bunch of wires that we are never going to use." I could feel Morgan shaking with laughter in my arms, I looked down at her confused.
"We will use it!" Sky's eyes looked determined and I knew it was going to take a bit more than a few cups of tea to get her off my back.
"Do you want me to do it?" Morgan asked, still giggling a little.
"No!" both Sky and I told her, she looked a little taken aback.
"We won't use it so there is no point." I told her.
"We will use it! And Hunter will sort it out!" Sky retorted and stomped away into the kitchen.
Morgan look after her, with sheer confusion on her face, "See, this why I love your sanity." I told her kissing her head.
