It was Saturday afternoon and I was nearly finished grading some papers in the basement while Draal was sharpening his ax. Then, he embedded his ax into the ground and asked, "How much longer will you be grading these papers? I feel like you grade them with every spare minute you have."

        "Well, I have been grading these papers with every spare minute I have because I have been falling behind due to all this Trollhunting business and training to wield the Thriskule. I wish I didn't, but if I want to keep my job and help you guys, this is the sacrifice I must make. I'm almost done with this weeks papers. Just give me like ten minutes." I said.

        "I would like to spend time with you outside of your school work, training, and your brother's Trollhunter duties. We've been courting each other for nearly three weeks now and we haven't even told the others of our relationship nor have we even been on an outing as a couple." Draal stated.

        My eyes widened and I realized that he was right. We haven't told anyone that we've been dating nor have we actually been on a date. I guess that I've been busier than I thought. I held Draal's hand into my own and I said, "I'm so sorry, Draal. How about we go on our first outing tonight?"

        Draal placed his hand over my own and was about to answer, but was interrupted by Toby who ran down the stairs yelling with excitement, "Mo, Mo, Mo, Mo, you're not going to believe what-" Toby stopped as he saw that Draal and I were holding hands. He pointed at our intertwined hands and exclaimed, "Are you two dating?!"

        Draal looked confused, but I tightened my grip on his hand and declared, "We are, Toby." Then, Toby stood there with his mouth agape doing a very long gasp, I whispered to Draal, "Dating is basically courting." Draal nodded his head in understanding.

        Then, Toby questioned, "How long has this been going on?"

        "About three weeks now. What was it that you were trying to tell me?" I wondered.

        That snapped Toby out of it and he exclaimed, "They just announced that Danger House 2: More House, More Danger is coming out in a couple months! I haven't seen the first one because I wanted to see the first one with you since horror movies are our thing! The trailer for the second movie comes out at midnight tonight. We have to watch the first movie than we'll watch the trailer as soon as it comes out! Then, the night that Danger House 2 comes out, we do another marathon, so that it'll be super fresh in our minds!"

        "I haven't seen the first one either! I..." I trailed off and looked at Draal. I couldn't do that to him after I just proposed of doing a date tonight. I sighed and was about to start, but Draal stopped me and said, "We can do our first date tomorrow. I can see that this is something that you two of you do on your own."

        I embraced Draal and exclaimed, "Thank-you! Thank-you! You are the best boyfriend ever!"

        "What is a boyfriend?" Draal questioned.

        "For humans, it's what you call the male you are courting. For the female term, I am your girlfriend." I explained.

        "Come on, Monica!" Toby exclaimed. He started to pull me away and I turned back to Draal and stated, "You can pick where we go tomorrow. Thank you again." We ran up the stairs. The last time we did the movie marathon it was at my house. This time it was at his. We've been doing these movie marathons for years and it has always been Toby and I's thing. Jim only joins us when it's a movie that he loves just as much as we do.

        When we got outside, I turned to Toby and proclaimed, "First, we must obtain some delicacies before we begin this movie."

        Toby gasped and asked, "You mean the Triple Meat and Cheese Pizza! Awesome Sauce! I haven't had that pizza in forever! Meanwhile, I will go and grab some tacos as well. Also, Nana is out playing Bingo tonight, so we've got the whole house to ourselves."

        "Sweet!" I exclaimed high-fiving him. We went our separate ways and reconvened not long after.

        "Are you ready, Monica?" Toby questioned.

        "Heck ya, Toby!" I exclaimed. Toby put the disc into the DVD player and we began watching. As I stated before, Toby and I love horror films and I was so excited to see this movie because I heard that it got really good ratings. When I was in college, I was asked to go see it with some friends several times, but at the time I was busy working on a thesis paper, so I wasn't able to go. However, I consoled myself by knowing that the next time I was in Arcadia Oaks, it wouldn't be long before I had a horror movie marathon with TP, since it was Toby and I's thing.

        As we were watching the movie, I have to say this, this is possibly the most terrifying movie that I have seen. Toby and I were practically screaming the entire time. We stopped screaming as the movie got to a calmer part, but we knew it was only a matter of time. As the main character was creeping away from the door, they knew the monster had to be somewhere in the shadows behind him.

        Toby and I clutched onto each other preparing for the worst. Suddenly, the door behind us slammed opened and Toby and I screamed at the top of our lungs as we heard a battle cry and saw... Draal? What was going on?

        "What are you doing here?" I questioned.

        "I heard you screaming and thought you guys were in trouble. Why were you screaming when you were in no danger?" Draal questioned.

        "We were watching a horror movie. Movie Marathon Night, remember?" Toby wondered.

        "What is a horror movie?" Draal wondered.

        I sighed and looked at Toby asked, "Shall we show him?"

        Toby groaned, "Fine, but this means that we have to start at the beginning." My eyes widened in realization. We have to go through that terrifying movie again. Great. We started the horror film and he realized pretty quickly why we were screaming so loud.
