Mako's Message:No list this time either. Battery's dieing. No time. Hope you like the chapter. Turned out better than expect for once.


I'm kind of ashamed of myself for enjoying today so much, but it was just so much fun.

It wasn't the best day of my life or anything, and I can think of a few days that were better just off the top of my head.

But today was still great.

Like every Sunday, it started with a long run through the park. And we were finally starting to get daylight during it too, so, while lamp light may be romantic under some circumstances, it's really nice to have a sunrise as our lighting.

Dave has gotten used to the weights he's been wearing. I told him to only increase the weight by five pounds though, because I know if I told him to throw another ten on he'd put on twenty since he's really been taking his resolution to catch up to me seriously. Guess I'll have to put on another fifteen when I stop feeling my weights again.

It was pretty warm today too, so after we had a cool-down spar we laid out on the grass together for the first time in months. He laid down first and put his arms behind his head, and then I laid down and used his chest as pillow, and then he put his arm around my stomach and gave me a little squeeze and we just laid there like that and it was perfect. Anybody who saw us would've thought we were a couple. I wish I could have rolled over and kissed him and just spent the morning making out in the grass.

But I was tired from the run, and so was Dave, and the sun was warm and I just couldn't make myself move. We ended up falling asleep together.

Waking up nuzzled into Dave was great too. Haven't done that in awhile either. Though, I suppose I should be happy we haven't had any nights where we were so worn out we couldn't make it home.

When we woke up, Dave thought we should get going, but I said, "I don't want to go anywhere. It's a beautiful day out, can we just spend the day here?"

And Dave thought about it and said, "Well, I think there's a frisbee in the car. You want to call up your friends and see if we can get a big game going?"

Now, this wasn't exactly what I'd had in mind, but the more I thought about it the more it started to appeal to me. I dunno why. Just the idea of Dave and I playing in the park, even if it was with other people, just seemed like a great day to spend the day.

Not the best way I could think of, but I liked it enough to agree to it.

So Dave called Marty and Todd and I called Angela and then on a whim I decided to invite Dillon too. He was surprised by the invitation but I was like, "Are you gonna come or not?"

Then he said, "Well, is it okay if Lexi come too?"

And of course I said it was. Why would I care if he brings his girlfriend? It's not like I'd be jealous or anything.

So while we were waiting for everyone to show up, Dave and I walked around a bit and we got some smoothies and talked about nothing.

So Marty and Todd showed up with Angela and we set up a game where whoever had the frisbee called out someone's name and if that person caught it they got a point. If anybody else caught it they got two points.

And it was kinda stupid how competitive we all got over it. I mean, the only way you could win was to catch frisbees meant for someone else, but you could also never win if you didn't catch the ones with your name on it, so it got to the point that were seriously fighting over it. But it was so much fun!

Dave and I were really giving each other work outs too. We were calling each other's name and throwing in the complete opposite direction. Didn't take long for everybody else to start doing that too since we kept snagging everybody else's frisbee.

And then Marty yells, "Mindy!" and hauls back like he's gonna hurl the thing across the park so I get ready to start running for it and then I hear, "Two points for Dillon!" I turn around and Dillon is standing there, like, five feet in front of Marty holding the frisbee and looking confused and everybody else is just laughing their asses off.

Marty can be such a dick sometimes.

So we gave Dillon and Lexi twenty points each, which was a rough average of what everyone else had. Lexi really got into it too. She seemed to have formed some sort of rivalry with Angela for some reason since she always doubled her efforts to steal the points from her. So of course Angela worked extra hard to steal them right back.

So, it ended up being Me Vs Dave and Angela Vs Lexi with Marty, Todd, and Dillon almost being spectators. They only called each other's name every now and then like they would forget they were supposed to be playing too.

Marty wasn't doing too bad, but Todd and Dillon seemed to be competing for last place. To be fair though, Marty has been working to stay trim since his coma induced diet and Angela was probably the only person there that came close to being as fast as Dave and I, and Angela kept pushing Lexi so... I guess I should really just be impressed that they got as many points as they did.

Then when Angela was getting ready to make a throw, Marty ran over and whispered something in her ear that made her grin like an evil little bitch. So she looks over at Dave and Me, yells, "Dave OR Mindy!" and throws the thing like she's trying for a goddamn world record.

The thing sailed right over us and just kept going. Now, I was standing further away from Angela than Dave, so I thought for sure I'd snag it, but despite the fact that I have better reflexes, quicker hands, and over all better endurance...when it comes to flat out running from point-a to point-b, Dave has me beat. It's not like it's my fault. His legs are longer than mine.

So we're running after the frisbee, and then just when it starts to come down to where I can grab it and Dave still hasn't quite caught up enough to get it before me...

The son of a bitch grabs me and lifts me up and tucks me under his arm before swinging me up over my shoulder and keeps running.

And I screamed and giggled like a little girl.

Neither of us caught the frisbee obviously.

When he put me down I was grinning like an idiot and said, "Not that I mind, but the next time you grab my tits could you go a little easier on them?" while rubbing at them. Cause he really did kinda rough them up a bit but whatever, I've suffered worse injury.

And that's when Angela comes jogging up with the rest of them(cause somebody needed to get the frisbee which rolled off somewhere) and says, "What tits?"

So I flipped her off.

Dave looked like he was trying not to blush.

Not long after that Dave had to go into work so I ended up just hanging out with the rest of them for a while, but it wasn't as much fun and With Dave gone my motivation to win the game just kinda ceased to exist. I probably won anyway.

So, Marty drove us all home, but not before we made plans to go see this new movie coming out that Todd was going on about. I don't remember the title though. Dark something.

Hopefully it'll be fun.
