*Nelly was lying on her bed, contemplating her life. In the beginning, there was hardship for her and her brother. The death of her parents and being kidnapped to work in factories, mines, and the like. Then coming to the US and her power taking away her ability to feel emotion. All the hecticness with that, eventually leading her and her brother to join the Runaways. And at the end, her adventures with Conner.*
*Upon thinking of Conner, a smile crossed Nelly's face. At this moment, he was out doing something or other. Nelly had just gotten out of the shower, dried herself off, and put on a red tank top and green sweatpants. She knew whoever saw her would laugh at her "Christmas" appearance but she didn't care. Nelly had also ignored the fact that her red hair was still damp and clung to her shoulders. She just plopped herself on her bed and stared at the ceiling. All she could think about was her future husband.*
*Unfortunately, the two hadn't even decided on a date, let alone where the wedding would take place. But she wasn't going to worry. Nelly had decided when Conner got back, she was going to talk to him about it. In the meantime, might as well relax. Though, there was all that disaster happening in the world and all...*
"No, you are going to ignore that stuff for the next little while; just until I am married!"
*Nelly closed her eyes, picturing Conner's face, and started drifting off. There was the occasional sound from outside her door of people passing, but they weren't enough to make her worried or excited.*

*Conner was out riding around and happened upon a bar, so he drank a little bit and rode back to the hide out. Turning of his motorcycle he headed inside. Once inside he took off his helmet but kept on his gloves, black jacket and long pants. His black shoes clunked to his room to put his keys and his helmet back. Totally unaware that Nelly was home.*

*Nelly did not know Conner had come home and had started drifting off. She got to the point that she started dreaming. But immediately, she was in discomfort because she had entered her worst nightmare. She squirmed in her bed, the sheets getting all messed up. She started sweating and her fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly. It was at this moment that things around her room started dissintegrating, but at a quicker rate than normal. It lasted for about thirty seconds and the top of her door was completely gone with holes in the rest of it. All the furniture around her, electronics, and anything else were completely destroyed. Her room was a disaster.*
*Nelly screamed as she woke up, bolting to a sitting position. She looked around the destroyed room at all her possessions and belongings; everything was gone. It was as if a fire or hurricane or something blew through. She curled up into a ball, holding her knees and resting her head on them, and started sobbing quietly.*

*Conner herd the scream and instantly recognized it as Nelly's voice. He ran to her room and threw the damaged door open and ran to her.*
Nelly, are you ok?
*He didn't know how much he could do but he sat on the bed, close to her and stroked her still wet hair.*
I'm here for you.

*Nelly felt his touch on her body and jumped a little. She lifted her head and looked in his eyes, tears staining her cheeks. She held his gaze for a second, as if seeing him for the first time. The she unraveled her body and hugged him, digging her head in his chest. She held on as tight as she could, shivering.*

*Conner held her and let her cry. It must have been something tarable. He let her cry and he held on. After a wile of her shivering he grabbed the loose blanket and draped it over her and held tight to her, not wanting to let go.*
Your alright now Nel.

*After a few minutes of shivering, crying, and holding Conner tightly, Nelly finally loosened. She brought her head out of his chest and looked into his eyes, her emotions similar to when she had to be emotionless. She sniffed, and this made her smile a bit.*
"I know you'll never leave, but I keep having these terrible nightmares where either you are killed by a Brotherhood or..."
*She closed her eyes and more tears came. The next sentence she spoke was full of sadness and she was about to cry even more.*
"Or I kill you!"

*Conner hugged her tightly, he understood that she was probably stressed, this was a big step in both of their lives. He held her. He wanted to make her smile because he couldn't stand when she was like this.*
Well if I had to choose, I don't know which to choose, but I wont die that easily.
*He had a quirky smile on, he didn't want to tell her that he has been having those kind of dreams ever since he found out how dangerous his power was.*

"Well," she said as she wiped the tears away and sat up straight, "there's some things I wanted to talk about before I went all psycho there. We need to plan when and where we will..."
*It excited her to say it.*
"... get married. I've never really dreamt of this type of thing like other girls do when they are little. I guess I want a traditional wedding, in a church. I guess I don't care which church since I don't believe in God, but I think that's what my parent's did. And, can we do it soon? It doesn't need to be big and planned out, I just want to be a part of your life even more so badly."

*Conner's quirky smile turned into a genuine smile as he listened to Nelly.*
A church would be fine, and I too want it to be soon.
*He smiled, fear leaving him and happiness flooding in.*
But also who are we going to invite, all the runaways? only some? any one who is not a runaway?

"Well, lets invite all the Runaways and... I don't really have friends outside the Runaways. If you know anyone you want to come, we'll send an invitation. Lets go scouting for a church later. And a date. We need to pick that too..."
*She started thinking and mumbling quickly to herself.*
"What do you say to June 23rd, three weeks from now? It's on a Wednesday."
*It was obvious she had already thought about this day and had memorized it. She just needed to know if it was good for Conner.*

*Conner smiled, he thought of his siblings but threw them out of his mind, he didn't want to invite anyone but the Runaways unless Nelly wanted to.*
That sounds like a Perfect date.
*There was perfect time to finish the small stuff and to plan some other things.*

*Nelly smiled and hugged him. Then she opened her eyes while hugging him and noticed the destruction all around them. She sighed and broke the hug.*
"You know, this room just needs to be destroyed or something. I'm not going to come in here anymore. It's not like anything I owned survived... Ugh, it brings up a lot of different things I need to do: shop for new clothes, find a new room to sleep in, and... not really anything else..."
