Bucket List

By: BrynnBookWorm339

Cress loved Thorne. She really, truly did. And she wasn't a very loud person. But right now she kind of wanted to scream and cry. Because somehow he had gotten it into that head of his that they should do ten things. Ten completely terrifying things. It had all happened one peaceful day on the Rampion. She had been sitting in the co-pilot chair in the cockpit, humming softly to herself and checking the news, when Thorne came running in. "Cress!"

She jumped up from her chair, startled and afraid. "Thorne, what is it! What's wrong?" she had said, sprinting over to him, worry written across her face.

"Whoa, nothing bad. But I just had an idea."

Cress sighed in relief, before she remembered the last time he'd said that, they had ended up with a wrench lodged in the wall. "What's your idea?" she asked him warily.

"Wouldn't it be great if we did ten things off of our bucket lists?!" he said, excited.

Cress peered up at him, confused. "What's a bucket list?" she asked him.

"Right, I forgot." Thorne said smacking himself comically on the forehead. "A bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you die, which can be called 'kicking the bucket'."

Cress nodded, but she was even more concerned about his idea now. "So what ten things did you have in mind?" she said nervously.

In response, Thorne pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to her. On it was a numbered list. She read it, then read it again, face paling on some, then blushing just as fast. On it was a strange variety of things, and all of them were terrifying, although she didn't understand some.

She looked up at Thorne. He had been grinning widely. Cress managed a smile back, though she was sure it was a weak, pathetic one. "So what do you think?" he said.

"Let's do it!" she had told him with as much enthusiasm as she could muster.

A/N: Hi guys! So I've been on this site for a while, but this is my first fanfiction! Constructive criticism is appreciated, but please don't kill me! Sorry if some of the things on the list are kinda stupid, but it's harder than I thought. So this has a lot of elements from the book Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson (which is really good, by the way) and some of these things are from my own bucket list(not all, some)! That being said, I hope you've enjoyed this! Please review!
