Rm 217, Thursday night

[fantastic_torch]

When Savannah walked into their room, she would find a cute little surprise lounging on the bed. Johnny had searched all day long for a puppy he thought she would like. There were tons, literally, and he had the hardest time choosing.

He finally decided on one that looked rather lonely, a little sad, and bought her immediately. Then he went shopping for a doggie bed (though he imagined the pup would sleep with them), toys, food, blankets... everything he thought a puppy would need.

Now he just sat back, flipping through a magazine, and waited for her to walk in.

[Johnny is here for Savannah, but the door is very much open.]

"I'm just as attached... and I guess it just frightened me a bit when you worry so much about me. I don't like to see you stressed about anything, least of all me."

"You worry about me..."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny cocked his head, giving her a look. "'Course I do."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"And I worry about you."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He sighed a little but caved. "Point taken."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Love is like that."

"Yeah, I suppose it is," he said and reached to stroke his hand over the puppy's neck. "So? What should we call our little sweetie pie?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I was going to call her Teotwawki, but she seems too pretty for that..."

Johnny bit his lip. Surely she wasn't serious? "Yeah..."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Hero?"

Why did Savannah seem a little off tonight? Was he just looking for something that wasn't there?

"Whatever you like, sweetheart... " he paused, searched her eyes. "You okay tonight?"

Savannah nuzzled the puppy and looked into his face. Her eyes were sad. "We can call her Destiny?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Destiny is fine, I like that," he replied, frowning slightly at the sadness he saw in her eyes. "Savannah... what is it?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Kinda got in trouble with Mr. Skywalker today..."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Ah, god. Johnny well knew what that was like because he's been there. Damn.

"What happened?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah chewed on her bottom lip. "He's unhappy with something I said I was going to be doing this summer."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He raised his brows. "Which is?"
