Merc had moved Ashton onto the couch and provided her pain meds and her favorite drink. (Sprite) she was lying down and had her legs propped up on Merc's lap. They were watching something on t.v. but Ash wasn't paying attention. She stared at Merc.

Merc felt uneasy and looked over to see he was being stared at. "Whatcha thinkin about?" He asked. "What's your real name? Merc CAN'T be your real name," she laughed. Merc sighed. "Yeah, your right. Can you keep a secret?" He asked, and she nodded. "My full name is Mercury Daniel Jacobs," she tried to not smile but it didn't work. "That is a beautiful name! Why on earth would you replace it with," she crinkled her nose, "Merc?" She laughed, and so did Merc. "Yeah yeah, shut up. The reason I have the nickname is because all my sibling do," he explained."You have siblings?? What is happening!" She laughed. "What are their names?"

"Well, I'll go from oldest to youngest: Myself, sister Venus, my sister Marz, and my brother, Jupiter," he said. "Wow, I have never herd anything like that! What are their nicknames?"

"Merc, Vee, Marr, and Pit," he laughed. "Pit? That is very interesting!" She laughed with him. "You are very right, but he loves it."
