~* This chapter must contain, a kangaroo, the movie Save The Last Dance and the infamous pink flop flip*~

Averman's POV

The world is coming to an end, Taz is quiet. I swear that's a sign of the apocalypse, I'm just waiting for the four horsemen to offer me a lift home. Actually I'm starting to worry about her, god help me. I really am though, because I've never seen her go five seconds without bouncing or babbling and she hasn't said anything in *looks at watch* like ten minutes. The small confines must be wearing on her. We've been stuck in here for over forty-five minutes, I guess since we're in a hospital they've got more important things to get running then this elevator.

Sister Mary Martha, has been in silent prayer for quite awhile too and honestly hearing nothing but my own steady breathing is slowly eating away at my sanity. The only time I've ever gone this long without talking was the day in first grade that Guy jinxed me and wouldn't say my name until recess, well with the exception of sleeping. I'M GETTING SO BORED!! That's it, I can't take this anymore I'm about to do the unthinkable, I'm going to talk to Taz. I have sunk to a new low.

"All right Taz say something, I know you're dying to starting hopping around here rambling about something." I kick the small girls foot and she lifts her head.

She sits up and straightens out her legs

"What do you want me to say?"

"I dunno, something, anything. Tell me about yourself, I mean normally I can never shut you up."

"Okay, I've got and idea, let's play the getting to know each other game."

I raise my rust colored eyebrows at her.

"The getting to know each other game?"

"Yeah, like you ask me a question, I answer it, then ask you one." Taz explains with a grin.

I have to admit it's a pretty good idea, this could go on for a long time though. But then again from the look of things, we have a long time. I wonder if we should ask the sister to join in… Nah, I don't think I wanna know whatever he answers would be. Plus there's just some questions you just don't want to ask a nun.

"Fine, you first, what's the worst movie you ever saw?" I query.

"Hmm, hard to say, I've seen some pretty crappy ones. I guess it would have to be 'Save The Last Dance.' Charlie took me before we broke up and I hated it, I'm not big on hip hop." The purple haired wonder replies.

"I didn't like it either."

"Now you, opposite question, what's your favorite movie?"

I think for a second and declare.

"It depends on my mood, if I'm feeling funny it's Clerks, if I'm in a dark mood, well I'm a closet Lost Boys addict."

"You've got to be kidding!" Taz takes off one of her pink flip flops and hits me on the arm with it. "Me too! Marco is so awesome."

I have something in common with Taz, I shutter at the thought. Here I was thinking are similarities ended at the fact we both hang out with Charlie, have weird hair and are apparently too loud for our own good. Of course now every time I go to watch Lost Boys I'm going to think or her and it will totally ruin the movie for me. I mean how can I enjoy blood sucking vampires, when thinking about the real life Rainbowbrite?

"Ask me something now, ask me!" Ugh, she's bouncing again, how'd I get myself into this.

"What's your favorite animal." I pull that out of nowhere but the girl beams even more.

"Kangaroos, they're so cool. Plus when I was younger my uncle use to tell me I bounced like one." She fishes in her pocket and pulls out her wallet, opening it to the pictures and handing it to me. "That's the first kangaroo I ever saw in person. I took that picture at the zoo and I named him Zipper."

"Why would you call the Kangaroo zipper?"

"Because he has a pouch, duh. I thought pouch, zipper, therefore his new name is Zipper, even though the people at the zoo called him Stan."

Her logic while mildly flawed actually amazes me. Maybe we can play this game a little longer before it gets completely dull. But keep in mind, this doesn't mean that I like her.
