Chapter 8
After they got in the car James turned the CD player on and after a few minutes they stopped at a gas station to refuel the car and buy drinks, with James and Lucca getting Sprites because it was so late, though first James had to explain caffeine as the stuff in coffee that makes you less tired. When they returned to the car James switched CDs and they left. When they got close to James's home Lucca noticed that James was singing along with another song.
So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there
to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the
shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would
fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you
make it on your own
Chorus:
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll
go wherever you will go
And maybe, I'll find out
The way
to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through
the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would
fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who
can bring me back to you
Chorus
Runaway with my
heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love
I
know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In
your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time
Chorus
If I could turn back time
I'll go
wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go
wherever you will go
When they reached the house James let Smokey out and asked Lucca what she wanted for dinner. "I should warn you now I can't cook so we're limited to sandwiches and anything I can microwave for the main course." After James had explained what options they had for dinner Lucca picked a turkey and dressing meal and James prepared it and a identical meal for himself.
After they had set down James asked Lucca a few questions about her life and found out that she had been pulled from mid 1001. He listened to her describe her adventures and James found it amazing how the details that didn't make it into the game changed things. He laughed when Lucca had told him about a time when Crono had gone hunting for dinner and had ended up stuck upside-down in a mud pit. Lucca's face seemed to become sadder as she mentioned that Crono and Marle had been planning to get married a few weeks after Lucca had left. James briefly considered trying to reassure Lucca that she would be home in time for the wedding but knew that it was all but hopeless so he shouldn't try to raise her hopes when they weren't even sure if they would ever get her home.
After dinner Lucca asked if there was a place for her to sleep. "You'll be sleeping in my room" James replied. Lucca protested but James insisted, "Besides I can sleep almost anywhere and I've lost track of the number of times I've fallen asleep on the couch without meaning too. I just need to grab a few things and then you can lay down." James ducked into his room and grabbed a few books and his CD player/Radio. "There you go"
After Lucca had laid down James and Smokey curled up on the couch and James spent the next couple reading his slightly battered copy of Battletech: Measure of a Hero. Once he was through he got a drink, set his CD player to play one of his favorite Garth Brooks songs for the rest of the night and laid down to sleep.

4: Next chapter they go weapons shopping. I don't think they'll ever need them but I prefer to keep my options open.
