(Some Private/Shimmer, enjoy.)
"I think that one's Orion, see the three in the row? That's his belt. Oh, and that one, that's Pegasus, he kinda looks like a box. And that one,"
Private wasn't really listening to Shimmer. But he did enjoy listening to her talk about the constellations.
The two had spent the entire spring afternoon just hanging out in random places. See-More had ordered that all the couples 'just get out and stop being mushy on the base' so he could nurse his migraine.
XL just thought he was cranky because he was jealous.
Anyway, when it became night time, Shimmer managed to buy off Kyd Wykkyd (three packages of chocodiles this time) to teleport them a couple miles outside the city.
Shimmer turned and looked at Private. "Are you getting bored?" She asked. Private shook his head no and said, "No. Just looking at something that is prettier than the stars."
Shimmer blushed and managed to say, "Uh... thanks, I guess." "You're really cute when you blush, you know." "Shut up or I'll turn your motorcycle into rubber." "You can do that?" "Yeah."
The two just laid there in silence for a while.
Shimmer sighed. "You know, the stars look a lot different in Australia." Private looked over at her. "Really?" Shimmer nodded. "Yup. Different positions and sometimes different constellations." Shimmer smiled. "Still pretty though."
Private chuckled. "Then how'd you figure out where all these were, Selinda?" Shimmer giggled and said, "I may have spent all yesterday on the computer researching them." Private smoothed Shimmer's hair. "Why, to impress me?" "Maybe..."
Both of their laughter filled the small meadow they had camped out in.
(Short and sweet. But in my opinion, constellations are pretty romantic. Never mind that half of them have myths about them that are usually pretty tragic.
I'm home and happy. Hallelujah!
Bye byes! Remember to review!)
