F "I wish I could get some help for the other periods, this took way too long."

F "Fuck, man. Trish keeps staring at me during class expecting me to talk to her, I gotta avoid Reed and Stella now because they're always around her too, it's agonizing!"

F "I keep having these dreams where she mans up and I'm forced to talk to her again! They feel more like nightmares now!"

F "Rosa is too busy to help - with the exercises, I mean - but I hope the camping trip will be fun."

A "Well it's done. All of it."

F "Thanks, Anon. You're a pretty cool guy."

A "No problem, I just like helping you, I guess."

F "More naps?"

F "or perhaps hugs?"

F "Hand holding?"

"I'm sweating profusely."

F "Or maybe...a kiss?"

A "Kiss? With that huge snoot?"

F "Why? Are you afraid? Have you never kissed a dinosaur before?"

A "No?"

F "Not even a human girl?"

A "Uhhh..."

F "So I'm your first? That's exciting."

A "This is so weird, I don't know how I'm feeling right now. Don't you feel weird too?"

F "I've kissed shorter snouts, yours can't be that different."

F "Uh...look Anon, if it doesn't work out..."

F "...It won't change anything. Right?"

A "Promise?"

F "Of course I promise! Get over here you fucking pussy!"

A "O-okay."

F "I won't bite, though I've never had human before..."

"It’s been a few weeks since I asked Lucy out to prom."

"Gotta say, things are looking up for me right now."

"Lucy has really taken to helping Rosa with the school gardens."

"Rosa doesn’t force me to help anymore, but I still frequently lend a hand."

"Just earlier today Lucy and I were planting some hydrangeas that were set to bloom in just a few weeks."

"Finally I manage to get a post to stick into the soft soil."

"One down. Nineteen to go."

"Ugh, and now Lucy’s gonna use those cute sad eyes whenever she wants something."

"And no alone time with her, since all the girls are working at the grill."

A "Hey, you guys aren’t just making dinner with that gross herbivore meat, right?"

Ro "Of course! I’m always prepared to serve guests."

St "Wait, which ones were which again?"

A "Wha- If I bite into even a single bug your cards are going into the campfire."

Ro "Hey! Camping is supposed to be relaxing! Relax!"

Ro "Also, when you’re done with the tents you need to start the campfire."

A "Wait, why me?"

"Rosa and Stella flinch and exchange glances."

St "Just… figured you’d know, is all."

A "Why would I… Hey!"

St "The principal fits the bill so well."

Ro "Guess that’s just him."

F "Come on, quit teasing him."

F "Who cares if he hasn’t evolved to fire yet?"

"I trip into the tent and tear the whole thing down."

"By the time I get both of the tents standing, the sun is nearing the horizon."

"My back already hurts from setting everything up."

"Luckily Lucy carries around a lighter for her cigarettes so I was able to start a small fire."

Ro "Oh, don’t thank me, I am very happy to have friends over!"

Ro "Although normally I struggle with making the tents stand."

Ro "So really I must thank you for setting it up for me!"

A "Oh, uh, it was nothing."

"Stella calls out from the back door to Rosa’s house."

"She’s returning with Lucy, both holding extra utensils and snack foods."

Ro "I never pictured Fang coming over."

Ro "Lucy really is lucky to have you."

"Stella struggles to separate the false shish kebabs from the real meat before handing me a plate."

"Lucy gets that look in her eye and snatches the bigger one right off."

St "Eventide draws near. I believe it best we sojourn from the fated ones, Rosa. My scrying glass awaits."

"What."

"Fang shrugs at me and starts devouring her food."

"With nothing to do but wait for night time I also begin to remove kebab."

F "Bleh. I think Stella undercooked this. Gimme some of yours."

A "No way, you have your own."

F "Well I want yours too. You’re supposed to share with your girlfriend."

"Damn her and her filthy ptero-logic."

A "Fiiiiiiiiine. You can have a bite."

"I hold out the meat on a stick for her."

"She grins wickedly."

"I realize my mistake as I watch her maw widen and engulf the entirety of my kebab."

"Once she pulls away I’m left holding a crispy yet clean wooden stick."

F "Mmmm… Stolen food is the best food."

A "Well that was uncalled for."

F "Here, take the gross one."

"Lucy hands over her undercooked kebab."

A "Whatever, I like it rare anyways."

F "You should be thanking me, then."

"She leans her head into my shoulder."

"Yuck, this really was undercooked."

"I hold the stick over the fire to char a bit more."

F "That’s just going to burn the outside."

A "Can’t be harder than roasting a marshmallow, right?"

F "Did Rosa bring any?"

A "Think so. Save your kebab stick for them."

F "Think I’d rather use a regular stick off the ground than get a greasy marshmallow."

A "Heh."

"Lucy and I listen to the crackling of the fire for a few minutes."

"Somewhere in the distance I hear Stella yelling at Rosa about leaving the telescope cap on."

F "..."

F "Rosa said earlier that I’m lucky to have you."

A "You feel lucky? I’m thinking it’s the other way around."

F "I do."

F "Rosa was right, I wouldn’t have thought about going camping back in first semester."

F "Guess I really have been changing a lot."

F "... Your kebab’s on fire."

A "Huh- Shit!"

"I blow out the now burnt chunks of meat."

A "Uhhh… Flambe?"

"Lucy snorts."

"Chewing down on this, it’s not the worst thing I’ve eaten."

A "Still want a piece?"

"She just holds her mouth open."

"I put the stick in biting range and she gnaws the chunk off."

F "Yeah, It’s not undercooked anymore. That’s for certain."

A "Looks like I poured jet fuel on it."

"Lucy leans back into her arms staring up at the night sky."

"I finish off the stick and join her."

"Stella was right, the stars look great out here."

"Reminds me of home."

F "The stars do?"

A "Hm? Oh. Yeah, there wasn’t a lot of light pollution around Rock Bottom."

A "In the brief time I was in scouts, I got to look at the constellations a bit."

F "Name a few."

A "I don’t remember now, this was like a decade ago."

A "... Orion’s belt?"

F "Anyone can name Orion’s belt."

A "Uh… big spoon and lil spoon?"

F "You mean the dippers?"

A "Also yes."

"Lucy hums and scoots close enough so I can wrap an arm around her shoulder."

"Her head leans on my shoulder and I can’t help but smile."

F "Something like this, then?"

A "Eh, close enough."

A "I think you can see Mars too, it’s supposed to be the red one."

F "Uh… I think that’s the moon, Anon."

A "..."

A "It’s been a while, okay? Cut your boyfriend some slack."

"I feel her head shake as she withholds a snicker for my sake."

A "Still managed to get my badge though."

F "Aren’t you the big strong man."

A "... Fuck it. A compliment’s a compliment."

"We gaze up at the night sky in companionable silence."

F "Oh! Look!"

"Lucy points to the sky at a shooting star."

A "Well hey, you got a wish?"

F "That’s not a shooting star, dork."

A "It isn’t?"

"I look again."

"The star is joined by several smaller dots trailing behind, in the sky for only an instant before disappearing over the other horizon."

A "Whoa, a meteor shower."

"Stella’s incomprehensible excited gibberish breaches our ears."

"Lucy lays down on her back to get a better view."

"A little dirt on my clothes is worth the moment."

"Man, being here with Lucy, after such a wonderful night…"

"I feel like no matter what, everything’s going to be just fine."
F "...I feel the same."

"I’m just going to start biting my tongue."

F "Thank you for being here with me, Anon."

A "I mean… This was all you. And Rosa and Stella too."

F "No, you big dweeb… I mean…"

F "You’ve always been there for me even when I was so mean to you."

F "I don’t know what kind of road I was going down when you met me, but…"

F "But I know it wasn’t a good place to be. I don’t know where I was going to end up if I never found you."

F "You saved me, Anon. And I’ll always be grateful for that."

"She sits up and looks down to me with that warm smile of hers."

"Hearing her put it that way…"

"Maybe I did ‘fix’ Lucy after all."

"She seems so happy with how things are, it doesn’t matter if it was all part of someone’s stupid plan."

"Lucy’s fingers dance across my cheek."

"Slowly, slowly, ever so slowly."

"Her eyes lid as she leans forward, her head tilting and her mouth opening slowly."

"It’s taken a month for us to figure this out, but now that we’ve had practice…"

"I raise myself up, my own mouth meeting her’s in a slow and soft connection."

"Her tongue slides along mine and this time she manages not to gag me with it."

"Our first through fourteen kisses never went this smoothly."

"And it’s utter bliss as we savor each other’s lips."

"And while I would stay like this forever if I could."

"Air is very much a necessity for life."

"We separate just as slowly as when we connected."

"Lucy’s eyes open as she smiles impishly at me."

F "I love you."

"Yeah. Me too."

"She giggles and lays down. Her head resting on my shoulder and her wing becoming a blanket as we look back to the stars."

"We stay laying a while longer, keeping the red moon company."
