Later that day...

MICHAEL: No, I've never had time! 

RACHAEL: All right! (puts it on) 

Later on during the movie... 

MICHAEL: (tearing up)

RACHAEL: (starts laughing hysterically) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!!! Oh my God! Michael that was friggin gold! Anyway, don't worry. You'll be laughing again soon! Keep watching! 

MICHAEL: (laughs softly) Ouiser sure had it coming to her, huh baby?... Rach? (looks down to find her sleeping soundly on his shoulder) Oh. (pulls a blanket up over her) At least we can escape the world for a little while in our dreams. (rests his head against hers and falls asleep)

Hope you guys liked this chapter!! Next one will be up when I finish it. And sorry for the Steel Magnolias references lately! Olympia Dukakis just died, she played Clairee and this is one of my favorite movies so I wanted to incorporate some of it into the story somehow! So, rest in peace Olympia! We love ya more than our luggage! 😉❤
