"That wasn't it what you thought it would be, was it? Because it wasn't what I expected." Summer as she rested her head on Skittery's shoulder.
"No it wasn'" Skittery sighed as they watched the snow-white moon disappear behind another cloud. Nether one had felt the 'fireworks' you usually experience when you kiss someone you like. They each hoped that this kiss would not change the friendship they shared.
"This is like the fifth time I have gone out or in your case basically made out with someone who would make a better friend than a boyfriend." The two sat in silence far a few minutes watching the passing clouds before Summer spoke again changing the subject. "Every morning when we talked, you never once told me your real name or how you got your nickname."
"Dat's not a fair question."
"And why is it unfair."
"'Cuz I can' ask ya da question back."
"But you know my full name and I don't have a nickname."
"We's jist have ta t'ink of one for ya, Tex. It's Richard."
"What's Richard?" Summer asked as she laid her head down on Skittery's lap so she could look at him while they talked.
"Me name."
"Richard. I like that name, Rich. So how did you get your nickname?"
Skittery smiled as he remembered his first day at the LH. "The foist day I was 'ere, I was really jumpy and noivous around da guys. I'se usually noivous around people I don't know."
"That's what I thought." Summer said in between yawns.
"Since I can' ask ya how ya got yous nickname, Tex, how d'ya friend Trigger get 'er name?"
It was Summer's turn to smile as she remembered her friend. "When she was younger, her father took her out to check on the cattle and make sure there were no coyotes around. Well Trigger saw one and got a little to trigger happy and shot her horse." The two friends laughed at the story. Summer readjusted her head on Skittery's lap trying desperately to keep her eyes open.
"Summer?"
"Yeah, Rich?" Summer yawned.
Skittery hesitated on his question. He wanted to ask Summer the same question he asked her the first time they talked. "Why do ya hate Jack? 'E's really a great guy once ya get ta know him. I know 'e hasn' been da nicest guy to ya, but I t'ink youse should be da bigger poison and at least be civil to 'im, Summer. Summer?" Skittery looked down at the sleeping figure the rested that rested in his lap. He kissed her forehead and whispered, "G'night, Summer."

Please review. Maybe I should start bribing y'all with candy. How about Dutch chocolate since I don't eat chocolate to begin with. Or how about Dove chocolate. I'm sure my sister won't mind if I take it from her stash and give to y'all.
