"Connor!" Abby screamed.
"What's wrong?" he yelled rushing upstairs to her room.
"Big big spider on my bed," she said pointing to her pillow.
"A spider?" he asked shocked. "Just kill it."
"I can't," she whimpered, squirming. "They creep my out."
"It's a spider."
"Damnit Connor, please just kill it already."
"Fine," he sighed, knocking it off her pillow onto the floor and stepping on it. "There, it's dead."
"Thanks Conn," she smiled, finally relaxed.
"What was that about?" he asked. "You can take on killer creatures but can't kill a spider?"
"Well you know how you have your issues with museums because of I bad memory, I have one with spiders. When we were little me and Jack each had our own obsessions. I liked lizards and he liked spiders. One of my snakes got in his room and ate one of his spiders. He got really mad at me but I told him to get over it, it was just a spider. The next night I woke up in the middle of the night with dozens of spiders crawling all over me," she told him with a shudder.
"That's disgusting," Connor frowned.
"Yeah…"
"How'd you get rid of them before? This is the first time you've ever called me up."
"Rex normally eats them all. He must have missed one. We've been feeding him a bit more, he's probably not hungry enough to eat all of them anymore."
"And before Rex?"
"Why do you think I have so many snakes?" Abby grinned.
"You're serious? You're really that afraid of spiders?"
"Please don't tell anyone," she begged.
"Okay, my lips are sealed. If you need any of the big scary monsters killed, just call. I'll come kill them for you, yeah?"
"Yeah, thanks so much Conn," she smiled kissing him on the cheek.
"What are mates for?" he smiled wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her into a half hug.

So here's a little friendship one. Okay so this one kind of goes back to season one with the giant insects and Stephen gets bit. Before they go in, Abby and Stephen are talking and her fear of spiders comes up. Figured Connor could play the big strong (laugh) hero for a change.
Tell me what you think,
Spike.
