Silence reigned between the duo for minutes before Sushie broke it with her next words...
" If you keep treating me like this then I might find it difficult to get a future partner. " She said after a moment of thought.
Danny raised his head from his phone before staring at her... His serious expression slowly turned soft before he replied, jokingly " That's a good idea you Know... "
" What do you mean by that? " Sushie inquired in confusion.
" Nothing much. The both of us can remain single and rule the kingdom together. We will make history by being the first siblings to rule a kingdom. " He replied.
" That's impossible! Kay? What about the kingdom heirs? Who would bear them? "
" An heir can be adopted from one of the kingdom's orphanages Kay? "
" You aren't serious about this are you? " She stared at him.
" What do you think? " He shrugged.
" You can't be serious. "
" And, why did you say that? " He asked.
" Isn't it obvious? The king and Queen will never let that happen and also, the people won't agree with this and most importantly, we both have our lives to live. " She reasoned.
Danny let out a hearty chuckle after hearing her words.
" I didn't expect you to be so serious about this. I was just joking okay? " He laughed.
" Really? You were joking? " Sushie was stunned at his words.
" Of course I was. " He said with a wink.
" That's a relief then. "
" Umm, but come to think of it, how happy and harmonious will it be if we both rule the kingdom together? "
" Ah! It'll be far from being harmonious! " Sushie stated.
" Well... You are right. Let's face the real thing. "
" Indeed! "
" So well... Let's just end the conversation here. " He said.
" Okay... " Sushie replied as she also fell Deep in thoughts.
Lesson learnt : Some dreams might not be achievable as they are just too weird and unspoken to be.

In the end.
They all had a movie night.
Apparently, Naomi and Danny along with Kelvin had all been preparing for it since earlier.
So it wasn't impromptu.
Only Sushie was surprised to see that everything was set in the sitting room.
They all sat on the couches with their bowls of popcorn in front of each of them.
As Soon as Sushie tasted the popcorn she fell in love with the yummy and delicious taste and just couldn't stop munching on it.
And, before the movie even began, she had consumed all of the popcorn in her bowl.
Naomi who was watching her all along couldn't help but smile when she saw this, " I knew you would love it. Thankfully I made lots of it. "
Her words surprised, Sushie " Wait, you made it? " She stared wide eyed at Naomi as she asked.
" I did. " Naomi nodded.
" Oh my! No wonder it tastes so yummy! Can I have some more? "
" Of course... '' Naomi stressed out her arm and handed over another big bowl of popcorn to Sushie, " Here you can have this. "
" Thanks. Hehehe. " Sushi said happily as she received the bowl of popcorn.
" You are welcome. '' Naomi Smiled as she watched Sushie munch happily on the popcorn.
The others were completely speechless by this scene in front of them.
Danny wasn't so surprised by her reaction since he kind of expected it.
Kelvin on the other hand couldn't help, but wondered how she could be so happy about popcorn.
Nancy's husband on the other hand simply Smiled, He remembered when his daughter was still about Sushie's age and used to love popcorn.
Then he often found himself wondering if it's really normal.
As he himself found nothing special in eating popcorn and his wife too.
But, then he understood, that what one might not really like another might love it to the extent that they might be willing to die for it.
' How cute. ' He thought.
Now that his daughter was now married and had her own family, they weren't as close as before.
He must admit though that he really misses her... And the moments he got to spend with her while she was growing up.
He'll never be able to forget those beautiful and unforgettable moments with his precious little daughter who is now a mother.
Nancy nudged her husband and when he turned to face her, she gave him a reassuring Smile.
He squeezed her hand in return as he smiled back.
Then, words were being conveyed through their actions.
Those who didn't know wouldn't understand their actions.
But, those who understand would know that thousands of words were being conveyed at that moment.
How beautiful!
