Boyfriend Hunting

[thethirdwonder]

Last night, Cassie had suggested a new training exercise. Sam knowing how to defend himself was very important to her, especially given the things that tended to happen on the island. So far, he'd been doing well but she'd decided to it was time for a test.

The test was simple. They went out early in the morning when it was cooler out and she gave him one instruction. Run. He was getting a fifteen minute head start and that was it. Then she was coming after him.

As she moved through the trees, Cassie admitted to herself that this was a great idea. She didn't know about Sam, but she was having a blast! Plus, she already had plans to make it up to him later.

"To kidnap the Banana King of course," he said. He wasn't sure anymore if he was making all of this up or if at one point he had been convinced that some of it had been real.

"We can ransom him back. Unlimited bananas for life, baby. Think about that. Thiiiiink about it."

"Oh I'm thinking about it alright." Cassie said with a soft chuckle. She wasn't sure either if he was still hallucinating or being ridiculous just to cheer her up but if it was the latter, she appreciated the effort. "How do we tell him apart from the other bananas?" She asked, humoring him. "Will he have a tiny crown?"

"Duh, and a tiny scepter," Sam said with a nod. He could have gone on and on about the Banana King but he was pretty sure if he talked too much about it she would start to really worry. He would too.

"Eternally at war against the Monkey King! And that's... I'm going to stop there."

"Oh, please continue, so I have more to remind you of when you are feeling better." If she could bring herself to tease him after all this. Cassie didn't know. She knew Sam didn't want her to feel guilty but she still felt responsible.

"No, no, I'd better stop being I need to focus on not throwing up," Sam said, suddenly feeling a bit nauseous. If he just focused on breathing properly, he probably wouldn't puke. Probably.
