Marina had always known there was something a little off about Eight. Whenever they visited her parents, he refused to go into the sunroom. He hated Marina's favorite shirt and could barely tolerate being in the same room as Marina when she was wearing it.

She thought she had finally figured it out, but she had to make sure.

"I don't even know what this movie is about, I've never even seen any previews for it."

"Trust me," Marina says, "I think you'll like this movie, if you don't, you'll get to pick the next five movies we go see."

Eight seemed content with that answer, as his taste in movies varied far from Marina's. He made it through the whole movie, but he was breathing heavy the entire time. Something about it just put him on edge.

When it was over Eight said, "Boy that movie sure was intense."

The guy walking in front of them turned around and asked, "Weren't we in the same theatre?"

Marina nodded and said, "He has xanthophobia."

Eight suddenly got worried and asked, "What do I have?"

Before Marina could get a word in Eight continued, "Am I going to die? How much longer do I have to live?"

Marina laughed and said, "The reason that movie scared you is because you have xanthophobia."

When Marina realized she wasn't making any sense to him she continued, "I took you Despicable Me because I wanted to see if the yellow creatures scared you, and they did."

"What do those little devils have to do with anything?"

"Eight, xanthophobia is the fear of the color yellow."

Eight laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of a color."

Marina says, "Eight, whenever I put on my favorite yellow shirt, you won't even look in my direction. You won't go into my parents' sunroom because the walls are yellow!"

Eight mumbled, "Maybe I'm just avoiding your parents."

Marina smacked his shoulder and said, "There is nothing wrong with having xanthophobia!"

Eight shakes his head and says, "Nine is so going to make fun of me for this."

"I won't tell him."

"Promise?"

"I promise."
