SOZ FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER. ALSO, THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR REVIEWS!!
"You bastard piece of technology!" Owen shook the computer screen before falling backwards in his chair, swearing under his breath.
"Umm…Owen? You just…" Tosh leant over him and fixed the screen by pressing a single button. Owen groaned. "Thanks."
"It's OK…I know how you must be feeling." Owen gave a non-committal grunt. Tosh pressed on. "I mean, I feel, well, we all feel, that Jack made a mistake…even Jack does, in bringing you back."
"So you would've rather me dead?" Owen spat, but instantly regretted it as he saw Tosh's eyes well with tears.
"That night was one of the worst of my life. Don't you dare say I want you dead." She whispered almost silently before turning and walking away to her desk.
"Tosh…Tosh I'm sorry…that was out of order." She didn't reply. "How can I make it up to you?" Tosh looked around with watery eyes. Was this really the same Owen? Seeing this question etched on her face, he answered solemnly "Death can change a man, Tosh."
The corners of her mouth twitched at Owen's voice and expression and he knew he'd won her over.
"I know!" he said, with a bolt of inspiration "Let's go out for a game of pool! I bet even a dead guy could beat you!"
"I'll take you up on that offer."
"Shall we make it more interesting?"
"Say twenty?"
"Actually money is kind of meaningless to me now…how about, if I win, I take you out…"
Tosh's breath caught in her throat "And if I win?"
"Well, you can decided what we do."
She blushed manically "Ok. Deal."
Owen beamed. "Ok, let's go!"
"Owen we can't! What if the team needs us?"
"They can handle themselves!" Owen said. Tosh looked doubtful. "Look, I tell you what, we'll take our phones and your pocket navigator-tracker-ness-ness-thing. What is it by the way?"
"It's a…never mind." Tosh said, changing her mind about telling Owen the full name of her device.
"Please Tosh. Pretty please with a cherry on top. I'll give you the cherry!" Owen squeaked in the sweetest voice he could muster.
Tosh gave in. "Ok, one game, then straight back. Agreed?"
"Yayyy!! Thank you Toshi-Woshi!"
Tosh just laughed as she followed Owen out of the hub
