Another one with Derek, except it's in New York. Showing off their differences and stuff. Thanks for all the reviews! Yes, Erin is going to be around for a while; she's in at least four or five. Addison needs some friends that are actually friends, even if it's college.
Sunrise
"I want you to see this, Addison, it's the most beautiful thing in the world." Addison mumbles something that's lost in the wind as Derek leans over their balcony. "What was that?"
"I said, there is nothing beautiful about a giant ball of gas appearing in the sky."
She settles next to him anyway, and watches as the sun creeps its way slowly into the sky, illuminating the dinginess of their city's dawnlife.
"It's amazing how we can still watch something so simple in such a modern world," he whispers, but she snorts, Smaug breathing fire in annoyance.
"There is nothing simple about the Earth's rotation around the sun."
They sit in quiet until the entire sky is in flames, and then Addison huffs.
"Well," she says. "That was refreshingly anti-climactic. I'm going back to sleep now."
