"Would it be okay if I kissed you?"

"What?" Smackle asks, her eyes wide in shock.

"Can I kiss you? I was thinking that maybe if we kissed, then I might remember something," Farkle explains.

"Interesting hypothesis," Smackle smirks.

"Would you like to help me perform my experiment?"

Smackle leans in and closes her eyes, and Farkle grabs behind her neck, gently pulling her closer. Their lips meet and instantly start dancing in unison.

Smackle slowly pulls away and flutters her eyes open. "Anything?"

"No," Farkle sighs.

[A few hours later Riley, Maya and Farkle are sitting and talking back at their camp.]

"So if we get another gun, who do we shoot?" Maya asks.

"How about we talk about bunnies?" Riley offers with a smile, desperately wanting the subject to change. "Why do we have to kill anyone?"

Maya looks at Farkle. "I don't know," the boy responds.

"Fine. If you two don't want to decide, then I will," Maya declares.

Riley and Farkle both look at the blonde, as they wait for her to say who she has in mind.

Maya looks up from her nails, that she had just been admiring. "What?"

"Who is it?" Farkle exclaims.

"Oh, I don't know. Either Smackle or Zay. Whoever I see first."

"Maybe you should try to see Zay first," Farkle shyly suggests.

"Why?" Maya questions.

"Well you know... Smackle helped save Riley and I helped save Riley, and Zay well... didn't help save Riley?"

"What's so special about Riley?"

"Hey, I'm right here," Riley pouts.

"I'll think about it," Maya says before she goes back to examining her fingernails.

While the blonde is distracted, Riley freezes and whispers, "Farkle."

"What?" he replies, before he sees what she sees and mutters, "oh."

"I'll run for the box and you hold her back for as long as you can," Riley yells, as she sprints for the new box off in the distance and Farkle leaps on top of Maya.

"Please don't hurt me," Farkle winces, as he tackles he blonde to the ground.

"What the hell are you doing?" Maya spats, as she tries to get the boy off of her.

"Not much. What about you?" Farkle nonchalantly answers.

"Get off of me," Maya demands. While struggling, Maya is able to see Riley off in the distance opening the new box. "Farkle," Maya lowly growls.
