THREE MONTHS LATER 

"So, how's second-of-command duties doing?" I ask as I join Newt for lunch.

"Yeah, they're okay." Newt says.

"That's good."

"Yeah. How are the gardens going?"

"They're okay. A little rough but we'll make do."

"That's good."

We just eat for a while until Frypan walks over.

"Hye guys."

"Hey Fry." Newt and I say at the same time.

"Jeez. These last few months you guys have been synced in speak." Fry laughs.

I nod then continue eating.

"How are things in the Kitchens?" Newt asks.

"Good." Fry starts on his lunch. "You bored of the Galde?"

Newt's quiet for a minute. "A little but it's cool."

"Yeah. A difference form out in the Maze."

"Definitely."

"And Marcus," Fry turns to me as I look up. "How about Newt's all-day company?"

"You know we still don't see much of each other." I look over at Newt and see him smiling. "What?"

"Nothing." Newt chuckles.

"Greenbean." I say directly.

"Just the dismissal is funny."

"Whatever."

Newt and Fry laugh. Death glaring the two, I get up and walk away.
