"Can we please get going? We really need to hurry up." Jack urged in annoyance, holding a camera in his hand.

"Hold on, Jack!" Jeremy exclaimed, trying to hurry after his friend. Finn smiled at both of them, holding his girlfriend's hand gently.

"Thanks for agreeing to do this with me, Mal." He said softly, grateful.

"It's what I'm here for. I'm always there for you, no matter what. I'm really glad I could help, by the way." Mal replied, squeezing his hand more gently and reaching to hug his waist.

Pilot sighed as she saw everyone having someone to talk to, except her. Again.
She didn't want to come to this abandoned place anyway. It was practically a ghost town. But Finn begged her to. He wanted to fix their reputation after Oakes, Mal's ex-boyfriend, and one of Finn's best friends, had died, along with their two other co-stars.

"I know you guys love each other and everything, but can we please go in now ? I'm really excited." Jack jumped up and down happily, making the other laugh.

"Right, so. I think we should set up the place and start filming next week. What do you all think ?" Finn planned.

Mal agreed.
"Yeah, you're probably right. However, I need to unpack my stuff and then go back to the restaurant. My mother is planning a big feast and she wants me to help her." She inquired. Finn nodded, giving her a small smile.

As soon as they went in, Mal noticed that Pilot was finally smiling. The house they were staying in was really pretty, on the outside and inside. It had this Victorian-like furniture, with the walls mostly painted white or brown, matching the wooden floors. Most of the furniture was covered in white sheets, and to Mal, she couldn't wait till she could take them off and see the place properly.

They were all getting enthusiastic.

Mal and Finn climbed the stairs to their room, which was on the second floor, and started to tidy up their belongings.
Finn sat on the bed and stared at the walls, an unfamiliar feeling pooling in the pit of his stomach.

"Wow. This is crazy. I can't wait to do this with you." He said, trying to shake the feeling off. Mal smiled and wrapped her arms around his torso in a tight hug.

"We're going to be alright."

Oh. How wrong they were.
