Thank you so much to mimismiley for this scene for Chapter 3, Heart of Stone (Part III)

----

After a minute of watching the Arizona land fly by outside the car, Aubree pulled her cell phone out of her purse and began typing out a text.

"Stone you ready?"

Stone glanced at his magnificent marshmallow briefly with slight concern.

"Ready for what?"

Aubree sneakily snapped some shots of Stone. It was the perfect opportunity since Stone had no means of escape.

"That's right babe! Work it! Work it! You are on fire right now!"

Stone was very confused but couldn't help but be amused at Aubree's determined face.

As Aubree finished, she checked her work and saw that a bunch of the photos taken were exactly the same, like completely identical.

"Magnificent Marshmallow, what did you do?"

Aubree turned towards Stone with a huge grin on her face. As Stone watched Aubree's face, he immediately realized what he said.

"Oh..."

Dom couldn't resist turning around slowly from the front seat to face Stone with the straightest face ever.

"Aubree is clearly a Pretty Pegasus."

Stone growled at Dom with annoyance.

"Magnificent Marshmallow."

"Pretty Pegasus."

"Magnificent Marshmallow!"

"Pretty Pegasus!"

Stone was ready to explode so he took a calming breath.

"She is my Magnificent Marshmallow that's it. End of discussion!"

As Stone finished his statement, he noticed Dom's smug look on his face.

"Gotcha."

Dom turned back around leaving Stone dumbfounded.

Stone looked to Aubree for assistance and found her playing a video of Stone arguing with Dom just moments ago. "Aubree what do you have there?"

Aubree covered her mouth to stop the hysterics from coming out. Quickly, she hit the "send" button on the screen. She couldn't tell him that she sent Alistair the video... yet.

"Oh nothing."

Looking up, Aubree saw Alec's eyes peering back at them in the rearview mirror. "Why is Stone looking like that?"

Dom willingly answered his question. "Because he doesn't realize Aubree videotaped him saying Magnificent Marshmallow."

Stone groaned and mumbled in Aubree's ear for only her to hear, "Please don't tell me you sent that to—"

Her phone went off, chiming away as her face turned red.

Answering the phone, Alistair's voice blared out from the speaker, "I knew it! You did have a pet name for her! Oooooo, Alpha is such a softy, wait 'til Gwen hears this!"

Stone's eyes widened. "Alistair don't you dare tell Guin—"

"Oh, and Gwen says, 'Goddess, Papa! No fair! That was gonna be my pet name for Aubree! But seriously, Papa, you're hysterical!'" Alistair said in a mock high-pitched voice supposedly meant to represent Gwen's voice.

Stone groaned the whole ride as he listened to two bickering divas over the pet name on Aubree's phone. Aubree couldn't stop laughing in the car and eventually everyone did... Except for Stone.

"Do you want me to get my mighty hammer?"

Everyone immediately shut up.
