Everything works out in the end, stranger things.

sunny and moony

Mallory was stretching when Aurora came behind her, her arms wrapping around Mallory's waist.

"Hi..." Aurora whispers, putting her face into Mallory's neck.

"Are you okay, sunny?" Mallory questions, and Aurora just nods.

Mallory was slapping Will and Lucas's heads until Mike came over on his bike. Late. As per usual.

"You're late."

"Again." Mallory and will add in unison.

"If you keep whining about it."

"If you keep whining about it, nyeh!"

"Just please stop talking, dude."

"Let me guess. You were busy." Lucas starts imitating a poor kissing impression.

"Oh, yeah, real mature, Lucas."

"Oh, El, I wish we could make out forever and never hang out with any of our friends." Lucas teases.

"Lucas, stop."

"Will thinks it's funny and Aurora and Mal... aren't listening... whatsoever." Lucas acknowledges.

"Because it is."

"We are listening." Mallory defends weakly while Aurora nods.

"Yeah, it's so funny that I want to spend romantic time with my girlfriend. Also, leave Mal and Aurora alone." Mike says, and Aurora frowns slightly at everyone using her name 'Aurora', it's a typical name. Obviously. But sometimes, she doesn't want to be called part of her government name. Sometimes, she wants to be called a nickname.

"I'm spending romantic time with my girlfriend." Lucas defends himself.

All six teenagers enter the movie theatre with enough time to spend. Everyone is enjoying the movie until the power goes off. Aurora grabs the armrest quickly until Mallory grabs her hand, holding it in her lap. Aurora looks at Mallory's hand and her lips upturn slightly.

The power ends up coming back on. Shortly after the power comes back on and they start to enjoy the movie, Mallory starts to feel her shadows talking too quietly for her to hear as if they're blocking out something.

Lucinda is wiping down the counter when Mallory comes downstairs.

"Hey." Lucinda notices Mallory's slight dismissal. "Hey. Dude? Are you okay?"

"What?" Mallory asks.

"Are you okay? Did anything happen?"

"No. It was just a power outage last night. Freaked sunny out."

"Sunny?"

"Aurora."

"Oh. Do you have nicknames for each other?"

"Yeah. She calls me moony, I call her sunny."

"Okay... so, you two date."

"Yeah?"

"God. How can my younger sister with powers get someone and I can't."

"Maybe your heart doesn't want to."

"What?"

"I knew I loved Aurora at the junkyard. Do you know when you've loved someone?"

"Not really."
