How do you wake up the girl who is your destiny? Steve wondered as he watched Jennipher sleep. He considered talking, but it seemed like such an indelicate way to wake up someone so...important to him. He considered and quickly dismissed kicking the couch. And it wasn't the tranquil sleep of Snow White, so kissing was out of the question - it was just a normal girl, asleep on the couch of a time-traveling soldier sent back to save mankind - from what, he hadn't said.
Briefly he considered throwing a bucket of ice water on her - a smile came to his lips as he imagined her reaction, but then he immediately felt guilty. Drenching your one true love in ice water to wake her up seemed wrong, too. Still, there were worse decisions to make then how to wake someone you cared for.
Steve reached out, slowly, and gently rubbed Jen's back. She stirred and he almost stopped.
"Jen - time to get up. It's almost noon."
She opened one eye and smiled.
"Was I grinding my teeth?" she asked shyly.
"No - you grind your teeth?"
"Sometimes."
Steve smiled again. "I find it amazing that you aren't perfect."
Jen groaned. "I am so not perfect."
"We'll worry about it later. Come on. Let's find something to eat. Blake and Humbot went out early this morning."
