Drax flew high over the island, toward the team's Headquarters. "So, the chair seems to make it through the transfer all right, huh?"

Yeah, I can take quite a bit here with me. It certainly made packing to move down here easy, didn't it?

"It's hard to believe it's almost been a year, huh?"

You got that right, buddy. It's weird though. It seems like it's only been a short time in someways. In others, it seems like areally long time.

"You're talking about Jessica, right?"

If you keep that up, I'm going to start thinking you can read my mind. It seemed like things were starting to go better, even with the long distance thing. But lately, it seems like she's avoiding talking to me. She won't respond to my messages. I don't get it.

"What? Are you asking ME for love advice?"

Well, you DID score with the only female dragon on the planet.

Drax smiled and nodded. "I did didn't I?"

Drax could hear Drake's laughter in his head as he started his descent toward the main entrance of the headquarters. Would you look at that? Someone else got a new car, an Escalade by looks of it. Some people have all the luck...

The person next to it looks familiar...

Land, Drax! Now!

Drake wasted no time changing places with Drax once he landed and the woman next to the SUV came running over and sat on his lap. "Merry Christmas Mr. Marshall."

Drake was smiling broadly "Same to you, Miss Blackburn." They kissed then, It was all very touching. "Nice car."

"I like to think so. It's only missing one thing."

"What's that?"

"The driver's seat. You're sitting in it right now."

"You got that for me? Wow, and all I got you are some tube socks."

"Tube socks?" Jessica tried to look stern and serious and ALMOST succeeded.

"100% cotton tube socks!"

"I guess I can forgive you. Come on, let's go for a ride. We need to talk" Drake's hoverchair docked itself into the SUV and Jessica got into the passenger seat and they drove off.

When they returned some time later, Drake looked rather pale.
