Alex: softly Hey... I, um, waited for you. How was the ceremony?
militarymuse
she takes her glasses off Alex? my mother won't let me go to the ceremony.
smiles softly Well, I understand. Sometimes family can be overprotective. But I wanted to see you. Couldn't help myself.
militarymuse
didn't you have anything to do?
leans in closer Well, after the ceremony, I was planning on coming to see you.
militarymuse
ok, but if your mom sees you here she will be pissed.
laughs lightly My mom doesn't control what I do. Besides, I'm tired of being cooped up at home. I needed some fresh air.
militarymuse
ok then I'll take you to the place we used to go when we were kids.
smiles warmly Sounds perfect. Let's go.
militarymuse
Ok, but its kinda far from here.
stands up straight and confidently Don't worry, I'll drive. Just give me the directions.
militarymuse
she takes her bike out of the lock Wait we're taking my bike.
raises an eyebrow Your bike? Are you sure it's safe? I mean, it's been a while since we've been on it together.
militarymuse
yes it is. hold on tight.
holds onto the back of the bike tightly, feeling the adrenaline rush through their veins Well, let's hope this old bike can still handle the two of us.
militarymuse
hang on. 1,2,3,4,5 go!
grabs onto militarymuse's shoulders as they speed down the road, feeling the wind rushing past them Wooah! This brings back so many memories!
militarymuse
remember that time we got lost and ended up in the park?
laughs loudly Oh man, I remember that day! We were so lost, and then we stumbled upon that little park.
militarymuse
yea, it was a good thing too because you finally got to tell me about your mom and dad.
pauses for a moment, a hint of sadness in their voice Yeah... It's still hard talking about them, but being with you makes it a little easier.
militarymuse
I'm sorry.
As they continue their journey, the weather suddenly changes, and a storm brews above them
militarymuse
oh shit! she pulls over
looks at militarymuse with concern Is everything okay? Why did you stop?
militarymuse
no its fine. just wait here and Ill go get a tarp to cover us from the rain.
looks at militarymuse with a determined expression No, I'll come with you. I won't let you face the storm alone.
militarymuse
fine.
quickly scans the area for a nearby shelter There should be a small shed up ahead. Let's go there and find some cover.
militarymuse
they get to the shed see I told you it would be ok.
takes a deep breath and tries to lighten the mood Well, at least we're out of the rain for now.
militarymuse
yeah.
takes off their jacket and places it around militarymuse's shoulders Here, take my jacket. You must be cold.
