"TIME TO PLAY SCRABBLE!" Alyssa yelled excitedly.
"Oh my God," I burst out laughing. "No you arent thinking what Im thinking!"
Alyssa smirked. "You must think youd be lucky to get away with that."
"Well yeah," I glanced at her. "I do consider myself pretty lucky...."
"Awwe," Alyssa cooed.
"Lucky enough to beat your ass in scrabble!!" I finished.
She laughed. "You are so totally on!!!!"

"And there," she said. "My word gets a frickton of points! Enough to beat your sorry ass!"
I looked at the board, chuckling. "Notify Oxford English dictionary to add 'gxbcnmuiopqqwrmnb'."
"Shut up!" Alyssacried playfully. "I still get a frickload of points, I used all my tiles, so I win!"
"This isnt even how you play," I contradict through laughs.
"Oh whatever," she sighed. "Im hungry. Lets get some food."
I opened the cooler. "What do you want?"
"A five star, six course meal from a fancy gourmet restaurant." she joked.
"Reality check, wer in the woods," I replied sarcastically.
"What is there?"
"Umm.. Hotdogs, hamburgers, granola bars..." I fumbled around and found a container of Kung Pao chicken. "Who the hell brings Chinese camping?!"
"Catherine had a craving."
"Umm okay," I said dropping it back in. "Lets cook hamburgers on the fire," I pulled out a pack.
"Sounds good," Alyssa said, coming over to help.
*several yummy hamburgery moments later*
"Ugh, Im full," I said, stretching out on the sleeping bags.
Alyssa laid down next to me. "Im going to put on some music."
She chose Never Gonna Leave This Bed by Maroon 5.
I laughed. "Nice song choice."
"Isnt it?" she giggled, kissing me.
Whoosh, wind blew by, blowing out the fire. "Weird," Alyssa said. "It was so sunny and warm a second ago. She snuggled up close to me, and we were both in a light slumber in the matter of a few minutes.

Everything was white and foggy and hazy. I fought my way through fog before I could hear my name being called. "Ian...?"
I made my way towards the voice to see two people sitting in a clearing. Alyssa...
And Leia.
