A/N: * cringes * I'm sorry! I know I promised some of y'all that this would be up last weekend, but now it's Tuesday, and I'm just writing it. Well, to explain, I lost my TRON mojo. I am only able to write this because I listened to the TRON soundtrack twice in the car (daft punk=happiness only equaled by pop rocks chocolate bar). I kinda have the plot planned out, so be assured this is not going to be abandoned prematurely.

Also, I'm writing with the idea that the movie ended with a sunrise in the morning and that Sam and Quorra go to sleep in the early/mid-morning. So y'all don't get confused.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING. Except Thea, she lives in my head.

Sam woke up to Marvin jumping on his head. The small dog had somehow leaped up onto the bed and was currently yapping in Sam's ear. Sam groaned and shoved the dog onto the floor and tried to sit up. When his progress was impeded, Sam looked down to see Quorra curled up next to him, using his shoulder and chest as a pillow. Sam smiled remembering. He looked around for something that would tell the time. His phone was closest in its wall docket and he picked it up.

3 o'clock! Damn, we must've been exhausted. Sam replaced his phone and rubbed his eyes, before going to wake Quorra. "Quorra, wake up," he said, gently shoving her shoulder.

Quorra groaned and curled more into Sam. "Five more minutes," her muffled reply came. Sam eased himself out from under her and pulled the blankets. "Nope, gotta get up, it's time to eat."

As Quorra slowly got up, Marvin continued to jump around yapping. Sam stretched and looked down at his hyperactive dog. "I'm gonna go let Marvin out." Quorra nodded and Sam left the room.

"I'm coming Marv, shut up," Sam said to his dog as the small menace almost tripped him as he was walking down the stairs.

As Marvin rushed out the opened door, he knocked a small bundle from it's propped place against the door. Sam bent to pick it up and read FOR QUORRA on a post it note. On the back of the note it said "I'll be by around 8 to take you shopping." Taking a peak inside he saw a pair of jeans and chuckled. Leave it to Thea.

When Sam returned upstairs, Quorra was nowhere to be seen and the shower was running. Knocking, Sam leaned against the door and said "Thea came by and dropped off some clothes for you. She said she'd be by around 8 to take you shopping. I'll leave 'em outside the door."

Above the showers hum Sam heard Quorra respond, "Thanks!"

"We'll go get some food when you're ready."

When Quorra came downstairs she saw Sam lying on the couch with Marvin on his chest. She smiled before going over to poke him in the forehead. On the third poke he woke up, batting away Quorra's hand.

"Ready to go?" Quorra was anxious to sample User food.

Sam yawned. "Yep."

Once seated behind Sam, Quorra asked, "So where are we going?"

Sam revved the engine before answering, "All night waffle house. That sound good?"

"Very," Quorra answered. Waffles...yum...

Sam observed Quorra looking wide-eyed at the menu. Sam already knew what he wanted and was waiting for Quorra to decide. Quorra finally looked up at Sam. "I can't choose."

Sam smiled. "Want me to choose for you?"

"Please," Quorra answered gratefully.

At that moment their overly perky waitress came over, batting her eyelashes at Sam. "Are you ready to order?"

Sam answered. "Yeah, I'll have bacon, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and toast, and my girl here," Quorra quirked an eyebrow up at Sam, who winked, "Will have waffles and bacon. And we'll both have some coffee and orange juice."

The waitress's demeanor fell, but she didn't let it show. "Alright, we'll have that out in a moment."

As the waitress walked away Quorra said in a low voice, "That was just mean."

"She was eyeing me like a piece of meat!"

"But still, no reason to crush her dreams. You're very attractive, you know."

This time it was Sam who raised his eyebrows. If he was surprised, he didn't let it show. "You're just mad because I beat you to the punch."

Quorra shrugged. "I might be. Now tell me about why exactly you smelled like jail in the first place."

Sam flushed lightly. This could be fun.

Okay, not as long as I'd hoped for, but it's something. Let me know what you think so far! BTW, if you have any requests for what you'd like to see, let me know and I will try, try, try, to include them. I make no promises, however because I'm a temperamental writer.

Next up: the obligatory sunrise and Thea and Quorra go shopping.
