"Shhh! Jesus JJ, you need to be quiet!"

"You said your aunt wouldn't be in?"

Luna's eyebrows furrowed as she gaped at him. "That was a guess! I'm not psychic, how am I supposed to know?!"

"There wasn't a car in the drive!" He whispered with a waving of his arms. Luna sighed, she supposed he had a point, plus none of the lights were on. However, she had to be cautious when the loud banging of bins falling would be enough to alert anyone of an intruder.

"Well-" She tried not to laugh. "Well I don't know! There are neighbors."

"Yeah." JJ scoffed. "Like ten miles away. These houses are huge."

"Fine, fine, sorry. Just...just don't kick other bins."

He smirked. "No promises."

"JJ." She deadpanned, eyes unwavering as they glared at him in a way she hoped would look stern and strict. His continual smirk suggested it hadn't really worked, so she eventually just sighed and kept walking around the side of the house. It was of the upmost convenience the back gate had been left unlocked.

"So, what's your big master plan then?" The blonde boy sauntered after his girlfriend, clearly ten times more relaxed then she was. Even in the dark she felt on edge. What would she do if her aunt was home? Or worse, if Topper was home.

She laughed a little, though to herself, when they reached a slightly adjacent window with an unusual looking piece of garden furniture still propped up underneath it. "The bathroom window."

"Uh...what?"

"The bathroom window. We're gonna climb through."

JJ snorted. "Climb through? That tiny space?"

"Yeah. Why?" Luna turned her head to him with her own mischievous smirk. "Scared you'll get stuck?"

"No." His answer was perhaps a second too quick; she had to bite her lip to stop herself from giggling. "Are you?"

"Nope." She popped her p. "I've done it before."

"Why would you need to sneak into your own house?" JJ questioned, but his furrowed eyebrows relaxed when she sent him her own puzzled look of amusement. "Other than right now."

The girl shrugged and pulled herself up onto the chair. "I got locked out a few weeks ago. It worked, I got a nose bleed, but it worked."

"A nose bleed?!" He spluttered. "I don't want a nose bleed."

"You'll be fine. It's open further than last time anyway. You can always go back and wait in the car if you want?"

"No. This is more exciting and I like spending time alone with you." She laughed at his suggestive look. "Wait a sec, was that when I bought the groceries ove-"
