I know I've been updating this infrequently, but I will probably continue that way because of school. I'll try and update when I can, but I can't make any promises!

Marina smiled as she and Eight walked to their car. She doesn't think she's ever been happier than she was with Eight. Now that the war was over, it seemed as if life was wonderful. She really knew how to appreciate the small things.

They were walking to their car from the movie theater, they made sure to have a date night once a week. It was nice to get away from the others for a bit and just have it be the two of them.

The walked down the sidewalk right passed an alley. Marina turned her head to look down the alley, and she saw some people doing drugs.

Marina shakes her head and asks Eight, "Why do people even take pot?"

Eight stops mid-stride and says, "Marina, you don't 'take pot'."

Marina stops a few paces ahead of Eight and gives him a questioning look. She says, "I know I don't take pot. Have you ever taken pot, Eight?"

Eight starts to walk again and Marina catches up to him. He says, "No, but saying, 'take pot' is the wrong expression."

Marina shakes her head and says, "I don't think so."

"I'm sorry Marina, but this time you're wrong."

Marina huffs and says, "If you don't 'take pot', then what do you do? How do you say it?"

"Um, you smoke it."

"Nuh uh.", Marina says, "I'm usually right with this stuff Eight."

Eight says, "Why don't we ask the others when we get home then?"

Marina shakes her head as they approach their car. She stands against it with Eight in front of her.

She grabs Eight's collar and pulls him close. She whispers in his ear, "I want tonight to be just me and you."

Eight pulls away and smiles. He says, "I like the way you think."

Marina gets in the car, and Eight walks around it and gets in. Once they're buckled and started driving Eight says, "You don't 'take pot'."

Marina opens her mouth to argue, but Eight turns the radio up so he can't hear her voice. He sees Marina visibly sighs and he laughs. He knows, there's no one he'd rather be with than her.
