"Wings to show you what you can become, roots to remind you where you're from." - Unknown

Next morning, Nikolina walks down the stairs, and makes her way into the living room where 10k is sleeping. He looked so peaceful, which she didn't like one bit. So she kneeled down next to his face, and began poking him in the face once, twice and on the third time he woke up.

"What are you doing?" he asked in a husky voice.

"Finally," Nikolina says. "I've been poking you for ages, I was bored."

"You woke me up because you were bored?" 10k asked, sounding a bit annoyed.

"Yep," she says, popping the 'p'. She smiles at him.

He stared at her for a while before asking out of the blue, "Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

Nikolina looked shocked. "Uh, no. Why?"

"Umm, no reason."

"So what about you?"

"What about me?" 10k asked confused.

Nikolina laughed lightly. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

"Nope," he said, popping the 'p'; copying her from earlier.

Nikolina's jaw drops. "Heyyy, that's my thing."

"It's mine now."

Nikolina shakes her head, and stands up onto her feet. "Come on we should probably get going." 10k sits up and plants his feet onto the ground before standing straight up, towering over her at about a foot. Then he walks into the kitchen to grab something to eat.

Nikolina walks into the kitchen and grabs the same makeshift wrap he saw on the balcony.

"How did you...?"

"I'm a ninja," Nikolina says. "Sometimes."

"Really?"

"Uh... No," Nikolina says. "You can take what you want. I was going to leave anyways. I killed every zombie in a one-mile radius around here."

"Really?"

"You sure ask a lot of questions," Nikolina says.

"We all need answers." 10k says.

Nikolina laughs. "Come on, we should probably pack up. We don't want to die of dehydration and starvation before we maybe eventually zombie-turn-a-fication, do we?"

10k laughs. "I guess not."

A few hours later....

Nikolina and 10k are walking in the deadbeat heat in California in the middle of a hiking trail.

"Did you know that your nightmares are kept in the same part of the brain as physical memories?" Nikolina asked, out of the blue. (I don't believe this to be true just so you know it's just for the story, if it is, well how would any of us non-scientists know that).

Asking random questions out of the blue seemed to be 10k and Nikolina's regular routine. And forget not to mention that it was their specialty.

"Really?" 10 asked, looking at her. "I did not know that."

"Yes, well, scientists believed that nightmares must have happened to us at one point or another. That's the only reason why they would be kept there."

"Huh," 10k just says.

"Maybe we just don't want to remember them because they're too traumatic for us," Nikolina adds in. "Maybe they're a prediction of our future," she says, shrugging. "Who knows." (Again I don't know if this is an actual fact or not. Also if you have anything rude or negative commentary to say I'm just going to delete it because I'm tired of negative/rude people. I usually can take slight criticism but if you're going to accuse me of something that I clearly stated in the disclaimer of the biography of the fanfic book before you actually read it, I'm not trying to be rude, but just stay away).
