Heading back from the gym, Rocky, Jennifer, Iris, and Sasha walk together. They pass a few guards along the way.

Iris overhears one of them mutter. "Lucky guy?!"

Iris whips around quickly. "You got something to say, officer?"

The man looks at her nervously. "No no! I.."

Sasha joins in quickly, leaning towards the guard. "Jealous, big boy?!"

The guard laughs nervously. "I guess you could say that!"

Sasha looks at Iris with a smirk. "You can't blame him. He barely gets any home time. He probably lives in a nearby hotel off base."

The guard nods. "Yes, Ma'am."

Iris continues to glare at the guard. "Keep your mouth shut and your eyes to yourself." Iris then turns and walks away, in a huff, past the group.

"Don't mind her. I sure you will find a very nice woman!" Jennifer says with a smile. "But I will have to ask you to mind your own business. We wouldn't want your superiors to become displeased with your conduct."

The guard bows quickly. "Yes, Ma'am! My apologies, Ma'am!"

The guards then quickly hurry away.

One of the guards, with the name tag Lawrence, smacks the first guard on the back of the head. "I don't need you getting me in trouble with Dr. Collingwood, Jeff!!"

Rocky blinks a few times before speaking. "Wasn't that second officer Dr. Collingwood's boyfriend?"

Jennifer nods. "Yep! He is finally back from his assignment! I am sure Dr. Collingwood is simply giddy right now!" She says with a chuckle.

Rocky looks at Sasha. "Perhaps we should check on the other SCPs to ensure they are setting in well to the.. pacification gifts we sent them."

Jennifer looks at him confused. "What did you do?"

Rocky smiles. "I just set a few of the more problematic SCPs up with a few things with the promise more would come if they behaved."

Jennifer looks around. "Does that mean you will be going to see 682 & 053?"

Rocky nods. "Among others."

Jennifer quickly gives him a peek on the cheek. "I will sit this one out, but you can find me in my room when you are done." She quickly glances at him over seductively before walking away.

Rocky watches with a goofy smile on his face.

"If you are done torturing me with a flood of human emotions, can we get this over with?! I would like to see how the proposal goes!" Sasha says looking at him with an annoyed expression.

Rocky chuckles. "Yeah.. proposal."

As they walk, Sasha glances at Rocky a few times, checking his pockets for the bulge of a small box.

"What are you doing?" Rocky asks.

Sasha quickly stands straight. "Nothing! I.. was just thinking.. how are things going with Jennifer?"

"We are a good match." Rocky says with a glance. "When all of this is over, maybe we can.. I don't know."

Sasha starts walking backwards in front of Rocky, making eye contact. "Maybe you will what? Get married?"

Rocky chuckles. "Right! Where am I going to get a ring?"

Sasha smiles. "I could shrink into a suitable ring."

Rocky grins. "But you have your own plans for the future that don't involve being jewelry till the end of time."

Sasha thinks for a moment. "Maybe.. you can carve one out of the wall.. like you did those boxes?"
