Billy:

"Where are we going?" I ask my beautiful girlfriend who is clearly crazy enough to keep quiet as I drive past the 'leaving Hawkins sign'

"Just drive baby." She leans over to plant a kiss on my cheek. I comply and turn the music down.

"You wanna talk? Let's talk, what's going through that lovely head of yours? You know you're driving me insane." I smile at the beautiful lady sitting next to me. Oh the ways she drives me crazy.

"Fine, you want to know where we are going?" She gets all bug eyed.

"Yes, please tell the person who is driving the damn car!" I laugh.

"California, now drive!" She demands. DAMN she's hot.

************************************************************

"Welcome to our humble home." She says. WOW. I look around at this three story California house that has a welcome home banner pinned up across the entrance way.

"What is this?"

"It's just as I said, our home."

"No, Marlowe, stop fucking around, what the fuck is this?"

She smiles at me jumping around nervously, "I'm being serious, I bought this house."

"With what, the millions of dollars from your imaginary friend?" I throw my hands in the air and look at this huge house.

"No, come sit down," She points to the kitchen table. We both sit down at the table where there are House ownership papers for us to sign. What? She's serious. I motioned for her to continue, "My Dad's sister, my aunt, started funding for me before my Mom and Dad had me. Even though she has a kid, I was like her first kid."

"So you are being serious."

"Yes, this house cost us 600,000 dollars, and it has an outdoor built in pool out back."

"Marlowe, that's a lot of money."

"Don't worry about it."

"You have been planning this for a long time haven't you?" She nods her head. I look around in the house again, is this really happening?

"Sign the dang paper Hargrove." She demands.

I'm jumping with her, this will happen, living together, going to school at my old high school together, showing her off. Getting a job and coming home to her every night. Maybe even marrying her. "Okay then, we are really doing this." I sign the paper. She signs the paper. And.... We own a house.

What are we doing?

We're crazy.

I love crazy.
