20.) Dear John - 3rd Person
"What are we gonna watch?" Max said, kneeling in front of the shelf with a million movies on it.
"We should watch...Something scary!" Iggy said.
"Um, no! We're watching a romance," Ella said, pulling a movie off the shelf. Nudge and Angel smiled at her. "This is perfect for the occasion!"
"Ew, if this is mushy, I'm out!" Iggy complained. Max rolled her eyes at him, then remembered he wouldn't be able to see her gesture.
"You're watching this," Ella said, pulling Iggy towards her by the wrist and kissing him on the cheek. Iggy grumbled, and reluctantly sat on the couch.
Nudge and Angel shared a big arm chair. Iggy and Ella were sitting close together on the couch, with Gazzy sitting a few feet away from them on the couch. Max and Fang were sitting on a love seat, with total next to them on the floor.
"This really isn't fair," Total muttered. "I need more respect around here!"
"Sit here," Gazzy said, patting the cushion next to him on the couch. Total jumped up next to him and enjoyed a good scratch behind the ears.
The movie started, and was titled Dear John. "Oh, come on Ella! I'm not watching this." Iggy was about to stand when Ella slid on to his lap, keeping him down. "Ugh," Iggy wrapped his arms around her waist and ended up staying most of the movie.
Half way through the movie, Max started getting uncomfortable. Not physically, but emotionally. Fang was going to war soon, and she didn't want to end up only having contact by letters for a whole year, or maybe more. She snuggled in closer to Fang, who wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
Max started whispering something to Fang, and didn't realize the flock had snuck out of the room to give them some alone time until she looked to see what time it was. "Where'd they go?" Max asked, questioning Fang. Fang shrugged.
"Fang...Do you have to go?" Max asked, climbing onto his lap and looking in his espresso eyes.
"Yes, Max," Fang said, stroking her hair with one hand and holding her hand with the other.
"No," she said, feeling her eyes to water up. She hadn't cried for....she couldn't even remember the last time she cried. "No," tears started streaming down her face rapidly, and she couldn't hide them.
"It'll be okay. I'll come back and...we'll be together. I promise," He whispered in her ear, then kissed her tears away.
"That's what John said, and look what happened," Max sighed, letting new tears escape.
"Max," Fang said, tilting her chin up, forcing her to look in his eyes. "I promise."
