What about the smoochie....but instead of putting it into words, she said "I need something stronger than coffee. Can we go to the O-Club?"

Amy smiled, genuinely surprised. She got to her feet, pulling Charybdis by the hand. "I thought for sure you'd say no and try to sneak off to the bridge or something..."

They walked into the O-Club and Amy led the way to the bar. She ordered two shots and downed the one nearest to her when they were poured. She then picked up the second one, but didn't offer it to Charybdis.
Suddenly the demon was back in her mind, and 'between the ticks of the chronometer' he had Amy's attention again.
"What do you think you are doing?" the demon asked. Amy just smiled at him in response. "We have an agreement" the demon reminded her.
"I know we do" Amy replied to him, still smiling. "You wanted me to walk with you, and I am. I also still have a life to live, and I plan on living it however I want."
"No matter how short it is?"
Amy's smile froze, then was back as beaming as ever. "I don't think you'd have gone through all this trouble just to kill me. You could have just let me die in the first place. I was happy enough with that."
"Why waste time with this guy?" the demon asked. "You literally sold your soul to keep the dirt on him so you could stick it to him. What happened to that?"
"Yeah, that sticking to people stuff isn't working out too well" Amy said simply. "But then I think you knew that. So maybe I don't want that anymore."
"What you do want" the demon said firmly, "it won't work. He'll never go for it. And why after all thisssssss yooooou'd wannnnnt toooooo....." His words slurred in Amy's ears until she could hardly make them out anymore.
"Say something?" she asked. The shot she'd downed had hit her system, and the demon was having trouble keeping control.
"Yoooou arrrrre sooooo scrrrrrewdddd uuuuuup....." the demon said as he began to fade from her sight. "Thissssss isssssn't finnnnnn....." And he was gone.
And Amy was back in the O-club. She smiled at Charybdis, and downed the second shot. "Good stuff" she said. And she reached up, placed a hand behind his head and kissed him...
She pulled back and stared into his eyes. "Charybdis, are you serious about still wanting to take the seal? Cause if you are, let's do it. Right now. Today. Before anything else happens. Let's find Reverand Mars and get sealed."

Amy was acting so strange...what she said took me by surprise. "Take the seal, right now? Amy, I thought you wanted a traditional sealing, as a matter of fact, so did I. And wait a centon, just a short while ago you were ready to knock my block off and now you want to run down to the chapel and get sealed? What's up, Amy? Why are you doing this?"

"I was wrong" Amy replied, "That's why." She hugged him as if it was for the last time. More than a couple of warriors couldn't help but notice and began to look in their direction. "Yes I was angry with you, but over what? Misunderstandings?"
She could feel the demon at the edges of her mind, trying to gain access. I need another shot, Amy thought as she looked over to get the bartender's attention only to find that she already had it. She raised a finger, and the bartender reached for the bottle and poured her another shot.
"We've wasted so much time going around and around" she explained, "and time is the one thing none of us are sure we have. Before we waste another micron, please take the seal with me now."

She seemed so sincere. So full of passion. And that's why I always loved her...
"Well, seeing as you put it that way. Amy, you know I have always loved you and I have always wanted to be with you. So...OK. Let's do it! We can find Rev. Mars right now..."

"Yea!" Amy said delightfully, then reached for the shot and threw it back, swallowing hard. She waited a moment, concentrating as the demon faded from the corners of her mind. He was still there, of that she had no doubt, but for now he had no say, no influence.
Amy swung her arms wide in an exaggerated motion, and hugged Charybdis around the neck. "Reverend Mars it is!" she said, kissing him on the lips. Then she tapped the shotglass on the countertop, and the bartender filled it again.
"To us" Amy said, smiling and lifting up the glass, losing half the liquid before she could get it to her lips. She swallowed the drink, looking at the glass funny when she realized there hadn't been much to drink in it. She shrugged and set the glass down hard.
She slid an arm in Charybdis's. "Let's find that Reverend, huh? I'm going to make you so happy!"

"Um, do you want to let anyone know? You know, so they can be there with us? Maybe we should notify Commander Sheba. I'm sure she would want to know. And your mother. She'll never be able to get to the Callisto in time if we don't tell her now?" So many questions, but so few answers....
