Day One: Morning

[Android-18]

“What if I turned on you?” the question hung in the air, and stayed there for longer than she expected.

“What?” He looked at her, his mouth filled with bread. They had been walking for some time and decided a rest was in order. Their trek ceased at a small brook which bubbled with laugher beside them.

“Like, what if I decided to try to kill you while in a battle, and caught you off guard?” she looked at him curiously, honestly wanting an answer.

Little did the girl know; he had practically done that to her two years ago. He swallowed his bread in a gulp and thought about the possibility, because it could indeed happen. “I’d be surprised, but this is a game, and I wouldn’t blame you.” He began dealing out his cards, setting a pile off for her and one for himself before leaving the rest in between their bodies. “Are you?” he asked over his cards, looking at her questioningly.

“Well, no, I don’t think so. I just like to question the possibilities of the future.” She grabbed the cards before her and looked at them. “What are we playing?” she didn’t know many card games.

“Do you have any Eights?” he asked without replying to her question.

“No…” Eighteen stared at him confused.

“Fishin’ time!” he shouted and grabbed a card from the pile on the grassy ground. His companion was confused. “You don’t know how to play Go Fish?” he asked and froze as he was picking the card up.

“No, enlighten me.” She blinked at him. The wind took this chance to buffet her hair and cause sunlight to strike her golden strands.

“Babe, I’ll teach you anything you want, and Go Fish is something all people ought to learn.” He said and observed his cards before placing two faced down on the grass beside him. He began to explain the game, and the girl almost burst out laughing. This sounded like a child’s game, but she shook her hand for him to continue when he looked hurt at her almost outburst of laughter. Ah, the simple things.
