I started up the steps to my own room, thinking about how a shower would feel good myself, but I stopped when I heard something strange coming from the bedroom. Not strange strange, just completely unexpected. It sounded like Peter and Jack were being nice to each other.

“I’m just saying Apocalypse Now isn’t the best war movie,” Peter said.

“You can’t say All Quiet on the Western Front. That movie is so boring!” Jack groaned.

“Just because something is in black and white doesn’t make it boring,” Peter said.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I don’t own it so you can’t borrow it. Apocalypse Now is the best war movie I own.”

I climbed up the stairs and stopped outside the doorway, spying on them before they noticed me. Jack had opened the pocket door that hid his thousands of DVD’s, and he stood in front of it, inspecting his collection. Peter sat at the end of Jack’s bed while Daisy lay curled up in the bed, sound asleep next to Matilda.

“Don’t you have Saving Private Ryan?” Peter asked, looking up at Jack.

“No. I’m not obsessed with war movies like you.” Jack reached up and pulled one off the shelf. “I have lots of ninja movies, though. Or movies with robots. Those are good.”

“I should be happy you’re not pulling out something with ninja robots,” Peter rolled his eyes.

“What are you guys doing?” I asked, tentatively stepping into the room. “Just trying to find something for Peter to watch, but he’s picky as all hell,” Jack said. “I’m not picky. I just don’t love something just because it has explosions,” Peter said. “What’s not to love about explosions?” Jack scoffed. “And besides that, I love lots of movies without explosions. Here.” He grabbed a DVD from a shelf and held it out to him. “Edward Scissorhands. Nothing blows up the whole movie.”

“But you have a crush on Johnny Depp, so that doesn’t count,” Peter shook his head.

“I do not have a crush on Johnny Depp.” Jack rolled his eyes. “And whatever. Do you want a movie or not? You only have like a day to watch this thing. Do you want to spend all the time arguing about what movie it is you want?”

“Hey, don’t rush me.” Peter got up and went over to the rows of DVD’s, brushing past Jack without comment from either of them. “I need to enjoy technology while I have the chance. Who knows where we’re gonna end up after this.”

“Where are you going?” Jack asked, taking a couple steps back so Peter could peruse his DVD’s more easily.

“I honestly don’t know. I’m hoping Ezra can figure something out.” Peter grabbed a movie and flipped it over, reading the back. “I don’t really want to think about it. My plan is to shower, relax, and sleep, because I’m not sure how much I’ll get once we go.”

“I see.” Jack crossed his arms over his chest, and his face tightened a bit. He was worried about Peter, concerned about where the three of them might end up, but he didn’t want to show it.
