"Time to wake up." The Joker said shaking Hermione's shoulder lightly.

She rolled over looked up at the Joker and smiled. He kissed her forehead and then walked away. She got up and started getting ready. She took a hot shower to help wake her up. She straightened her hair and pulled it up into a ponytail. She put on a pair of jeans and a cute black top. She walked out of the bathroom and into their bedroom. The Joker was taking the last of their few bags out of the room. Hermione walked over and got her jacket. She put it on as she walked out of the bedroom to the front door. The Joker turned around to face her as soon as he had set the bags down.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah."

The Joker opened the front door and Hermione grabbed two bags and stepped out into the rainy atmosphere. That was one thing she would miss. It rained a lot in England and she loved the rain. She inhaled deeply taking in the wonderful smell. She slowly walked to the car. The Joker put the other two bags in the trunk and grabbed the two bags Hermione was carrying and put those in the trunk as well. He got in the car and sped off toward the airport.

They were on the plane now and were both happy to find that in a row that held three the third seat was empty. After the plane had taken flight and still no one had occupied the third seat the Joker called over a flight attendant.

"Can I help you?" She asked politely.

"Yes, can you please keep this seat empty?" The Joker said handing her a very generous tip.

The flight attendant looked at the money with wide eyes. "Of course." She said in a shocked tone.

"Thank you."

"Y-you're welcome." The flight attendant said walking off.

Hermione had laid her head on the Joker's shoulder after the plane had taken flight. She now looked up at him.

"You pay quite a bit to keep an unoccupied seat unoccupied."

"It's worth it."

She just smiled at him. The smile was followed by a yawn.

"Tired?"

"A little." She admitted.

"Why don't you try to get some sleep?"

"No, if I go to sleep you won't have anyone to talk to or much of anything to do."

"Hermione."

"Really, I'm not that tired." She lied which followed by another yawn.

"Don't lie."

"I'm fine."

"Hermione."

"What?"

"Sleep." He leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"Fine." She said snuggling her head into the Joker's shoulder.

"Why do you always have to be so stubborn?"

She just closed her eyes and stuck her tongue out at him.

He let out a soft laugh which made her open her eyes and smile. The Joker put his arm around her and ever so gently began to play with a lock of her hair.
