Hello

Schuff.

Schuff.

Schuff.

He turned away from the sight of strange men throwing dirt onto her coffin.

Heh.

Her coffin.

Her grave.

He never thought he would say or think such words. Or at least until he was well past middle age. Feet resounding on the hard ground as he walked down the path, thoughts swam through his mind. 'Martin, do your homework. Martin, quit fooling around.' Her voice echoed in his mind.

'Martin...Has no one told you she's not breathing?' The nurse's shaky voice said over and over again in his head.

M-M-M

He sat on his bed, staring at the picture in his hands. Java had taken it one day about three months ago. He was grinning widely and holding onto Diana's legs, cotton candy cone in one hand. Diana was perched on his shoulders, one arm wrapped around the top of his head, smile splitting her face as she held up two fingers in the peace sign. Behind them was an amusement park.

"Martin! Give me that!" Diana laughed, reaching for the cotton candy Martin held away from her.

"No way, this is mine and you know it!" He stuck his tongue out at her. "Give up!"

"No way!" She jumped at him, landing on his back. "GIMME!"

"Gack! Off! Off!" Martin screeched, stumbling around with Diana on his back grappling for the sweet confectionery.

"Mine! Mine!" Diana laughed boisterously, reaching. "Eeek!" She squeaked as she nearly fell off Martin's shoulders.

"Whoa!" Grabbing her legs, he pulled her onto his shoulders. "Watch it, will you?"

"Smile for camera!" Java called out, giving them a few seconds before snapping a picture.

He smiled bitterly as that day's events flooded into his mind.

'Hey Martin, WHY are you not doing your homework?'

"Diana?" He half rose from the bed, glancing about.

'No, Billy. Who else? Stupid.'

"You-you're here?"

'...Duh.'

"Yay!" He exclaimed, throwing his arms wide.

'Homework. Now.'

"Aye aye captain!" He scuttled over to his desk and pulled out his math book and a few sheets of paper, setting to work on the problems set almost immediately.

'Good boy.
