"This isn't crazy, this is weird," I explain, my light blonde eyebrows furrowed as Hunter throws yet another paper airplane off of the mall we're currently standing on top of. My eyes zero in on the object as it lands on the spot in front of an elderly women in a pink knitted sweater.

He turns to me, his lips curled up into a smile as he lifts up a piece of paper for me to read. In large bold letters it says 'You're amazing, no matter what anyone says.' I blink at the kind message, returning my gaze to Hunter.

"I figured why not do something good, you know? Too many people have someone trying to make them feel bad about themselves, so I just figured.." he trails off, shrugging with a sheepish expression on his face.

"That's really sweet." I find myself grabbing one of the already made paper airplanes & throwing it off of the high roof, watching with eagerness as it lands in front of a little girl with black pigtails. With widened blue eyes, she bends down to pick it up, a big smile stretching her cheeks as she takes in the message. "How'd you think of this?"

"I saw an airplane fly by earlier & it just kinda came in my head. People should know that they're special."

"Well, it's genius." I smile, grabbing another airplane to throw & hopefully make someone's day.

"Thanks," he says sheepishly, doing the same. After we throw a few more, making sure none of them do hit people in the face, we find ourselves back in the rental car.

"So what are we doing now?"

"I figured we could grab some lunch," he smiles. "I don't know about you, but I'm hungry."

"Now that you mention it..." My stomach growls, a bit too loudly. Hunter chuckles beside me. "I guess I'm a little hungry."

"There's a McDonald's over there, ya know it's Monopoly time, right?" He smirks, an amused glint in his blue eyes as he pulls into the fairly empty parking lot. There are more people in the drive through, planning on eating it on the go or to bring it somewhere to enjoy.

"Oh hellll yeah!" I cheer, getting ready for game time. Back in Louisiana, we were both very competitive when it came down to McDonald's Monopoly. We tried to get more & better pieces than the other all the time. It's safe to say that we helped put plenty of money in their bank when it came to game time.

When Hunter grabs the tray of food & two sodas, we make our way to a booth in the far corner. We ignore peoples' curious gazes at Hunter in his sunglasses, hoping no one recognizes him & disrupts our so far peaceful afternoon.

"Alright let's see what we have.." Hunter mumbles as he pulls a couple of pieces off of his large coke. "Saint James Place & a free medium fry."

"I have a railroad & Boardwalk! Yes!" I throw my fist into the air, grinning at the Boardwalk. It's one step closer to a lot of money.

"I think that was my drink.." He says as he reaches for my piece. I stick out my tongue, putting the pieces in my pocket for safe keeping.

"No."

"Can't blame a guy for trying," he mutters as he puts a fry in his mouth. "My other pieces are just some of the simple states, none of them matching."

"Me too," I say as I look at Indiana Avenue.

"Hunter, stop," I giggle as he runs with me on his back, my legs around his waist to help keep myself up. My arms are around his neck, just holding on enough to keep a good hold & allow him to breathe.
