“The car emitted on last gasp and rolled to a stop, in the middle of the Altlantic Ocean. "We're here," Leven tried to joke.”
“You're going to be okay," Winter said reassuringly.You don't understand," Leven snapped.What don't I understand?" Winters voice was stern. "Sorry you feel bad, but its not like you just met a person so beautiful that now you feel completely worthless."What?" Leven said. "What are you talking about?"Isaw the way you fell over yourselves to stare at her."That was Geth."Don't argue, you two," Geth said.Were not arguing." Leven felt light-headed.No," Winter confirmed. "We're just...." Winter looked at Leven. Leven looked right back at her. Winters cheeks burned red and her green eyes outshone Leven's. The two of them stared at one other. Leven closed his eyes.What are you doing?" Geth asked, concerned. Winter closed her eyes too and leaned closer. Both of them looked panicked and out of control, but it didn't stop them from moving closer and kissing each other.Clovers jaw dropped and he pulled something out of his void just so he could let go of it in shock. Even Geth looked caught off guard, as if he'd been given news that he never thought he'd hear in his lifetime. Leven stumbled back and looked at Winter. His face was almost as red as hers. He looked at Geth and Clover and then back to Winter.Well that was interesting," Clover said happily.I don't know what....." Leven tried to say.No, I......" Winter said. "Its not you.... it's just that my... I think I left something down below.”
“Winter looked at Leven. Leven looked right back at her. Winter's cheeks burned red and her green eyes outshone Leven's. The two of them stared at one another and then, as if they were destined to, thay began to lean into one another, Leven closed his eyes."What are you doing?" Geth asked concerned.Winter closed his eyes too and leaned close. Both of them looked panicked and out of control, but it didn't stop them from moving closer and kissing each other.Clover's jaw dropped and he pulled something out of his void just so he could let go of it in shock.”
“What's that darkness over there?" Leven asked."It's not good." Clover said."Then what is it?"'Bad," Clover suggested, sounding as though he wasn't all that impressed with Leven's level of knowledge."I understand opposites," Leven said, frustrated.”
“Where did you get that candy again?" Leven asked, worried."The pile said 'flavored'," Clover answered back, his face a chocolatey mess."Flavored?" Leven said exasperated. "Are you sure?""Yes," Clover argued. "F-l-a-w-e-d--flavored.”
“I found a copy of Leven's birth certificate and was surprised to see his birth name listed as E. Leven Thumps. I assume the E. stands for Elton, and I have no idea why they didnt spell it out, but it's intresting to think that it took exactly eleven whacks or thumps to down the oldest tree.”
“Terry was beside himself. Not literally. This story would be that much more painful if there were two Terrys, able to stand next to each other and simultaneously curse Leven.”
