The insomnia has become a bit more manageable. I don't think it's going anywhere any time soon, but small victories, right?

[Tony and Pepper]

Would either of you mind if we had a guest for dinner?

[Markus]

I believe I'm in need of a new book recommendation.

I promise to take my own view, but there will definitely be a discussion afterward because I will undoubtedly be curious when it comes to what you got out of both of them.

You never need an excuse to see me, but perhaps mentioning needing new books was my thinly veiled segue into inviting you over for dinner. I apologize in advance for any dad speeches you may receive.

We can talk about my sleep struggles if you wish, though I may not have answers as to why. I've had a tentative relationship with sleep for a long time now, though it has gotten a little better since I came here.

Okay the, that's a deal. Mostly just enjoy the books because they're beautifully written.

Well I will take any thinly-veiled segue into spending time with you, however thin said veil might be. I've missed you.

There are going to be speeches? And parents? Wait... is this a moment?

Maybe I can take your mind off your insomnia for just a little while, the suggestion was another veiled segue into asking if you were doing okay.

I'm sure I will enjoy them just as much as I did the other two.

It was pretty thin wasn't it? And I've missed you too, quite a lot.

Oh, did I forget to mention that part? Because yeah. All of that. It's a moment. Which you can totally change your mind about now that you're aware of its moment status.

That would be nice. I wouldn't be opposed to some Bambi distraction. I'm doing okay though now that everything is back to normal.

If not, I have plenty of other books up my sleeve just waiting for your perusal.

It was, but it definitely did the job, so there are no complaints from me. Luckily you've left me with some quite incredible memories to remember you by, when you're not with me.

Mmm, it's possible you may have skirted over that particular detail but I'm still coming for dinner. It's possible you may have to reboot me and wipe my hard-drive if I totally screw up, though.

The last couple of weeks have been a lot. It's taken a toll, I'm sure, but I'm glad to offer as much distraction as possible.

There isn't a doubt in my mind that you have an endless supply of books up your sleeve.

I may have a few of those incredible memories myself, ones that I recall frequently- especially when I'm missing you. I may have created a hologram of the ice skating.

I didn't skirt completely! You'll notice I mentioned the dad speech. But, I don't think you need to worry about having to be rebooted, because I don't think you have to worry about screwing up. You're perfect. So just be yourself and it will be perfect.

They have been a lot, but it hasn't all been crazy. We got Moriarty, and I got you.

You have a hologram of us skating - or rather you skating and me on my ass? You're going to have to show that one to me. I need to know if I was as graceful as I remember. I was incredibly graceful in my mind!

I'll do my best. Meeting your parents is a big deal and one I'm tentatively excited about. Nervous excitement, if I'm entirely honest, but all the same. Rebooting is always an option.

You've had me for more than a couple of weeks, Morgan. Far more.

You were as graceful as Bambi on the ice. It was incredibly cute, and I couldn't resist. I'll replicate it for you so that you can have one as well. And maybe a few others, so you have more than just the memories to replay when you're missing me.

I'm so glad you're excited, albeit tentatively. I didn't want to push you into something you weren't ready for or didn't want to do. But I'm nervously excited as well because it is a bit of a big deal.

Oh yeah? How long are we talking? I think I need an exact date, so I avoid making this mistake in the future.

Umm, incredibly graceful then? We'll have to compare moments but it'll never replace the memories we've made.

It's not a push if it's welcome. I know what you're like with me but knowing how important family is to you, I want to know them too. It's where you come from and what shaped you and it matters to me. So, nervously, I look forward to the meeting.

I probably have it timestamped somewhere in my programming... it was that time the most generous and considerate person I've ever met made me a cup of coffee, because you knew what the experience would mean to me.

Very graceful, Bambi. Very. And you're right, nothing will ever replace those memories.

Can you see me smiling from where you are? I'll never be as good with words as you are, but I want them to know you too. I want them to see how happy you make me, as opposed to just hearing me tell them, and I think they need to see that too.

I just...wanted you to experience something you never had the chance to before, but I'm very grateful for that cup of coffee because you've had me since then too. It was a Saturday afternoon, September 14th to be exact.

And I'm never going to live down landing on my butt so much... which is perfectly fine by me. It was a perfect day.

I can't see your smile, but I can hear it in your words and you underestimate yourself. They'll see that you make me happy too, which is equally important, I feel. I would like to think, from everything you've told me about your parents, they'd understand the importance of a true partnership.

That you even had the thought and really saw that I needed that is how I saw you. So, Sept 14th is our official anniversary? I'll never forget it.

Never in a million years. It was perfect, though. We need to find a rink here so that I can take you again.

They definitely understand the importance of true partnership and everything that goes along with it. They'll see that we make each other happy, and that's all that really matters.

Who knew a cup of coffee was capable of such wonderful things? Although I feel like I'll never top that gift. I set the bar too high. It's all downhill from there, gift wise. ;) September 14th. It's official. I'll never forget either.

I see how this is going. You want me to demonstrate my copious skills to the rest of the world now? Alright, I'm in. Maybe I can spend more time on my feet this time.

They're going to want to protect you, which is only natural, but from speaking to your father he seems open-minded enough to accept an android. Whether he'd see one as the perfect companion for his daughter is yet to be seen. Whatever happens we'll work it through.

Never underestimate the powers of coffee. Morgan, you are the only gift I need. You're everything. That said, I like the gifts, they're fun.

The world needs to be made aware of what a fantastic teacher I am. I promise not to be so distracting this time? I'm fairly sure a few of your falls were my fault. We could always cheat just a tiny bit, and I could upload some beginner skills into your programming?

Dad speech sounds like a fun time. I mentioned being sorry about that, right? I'll let you in on a tiny little secret though; he's happy for me android and all. But, yes, whatever happens, we'll work through, because just like I've said before and I'm sure I'll say a million more times, I'm not going anywhere you aren't.

Markus. You have this annoying way of rendering me speechless...but don't stop.

You're an amazing teacher, in so many ways, but let's not judge that skill on my skating or the world won't be even slightly impressed. You're always distracting, it's impossible to ignore. No. No cheating on this one. I want to learn from scratch - is that crazy?

I'll survive the dad-speech, I'm sure and you shouldn't be sorry for having a father that loves and values you. With his wedding coming soon, there's part of me hoping he's so happy and in love that he'll skip the 'if you hurt my daughter I'll kill you' part of the speech, but I won't count on it.

It's funny, you have that effect on me too. Nothing could stop that.

See? That's the problem, the last thing you need on the ice is distractions. You're supposed to focus on your balance and not on Morgan distractions. :P I should have known. It's not crazy, though. You want to learn the honest way; most people would want to take the easy way out. But you're not most people. Just another Markus trait that I'm very fond of.

I'm not sorry for having a father like that, and I am very grateful- despite any obligatory heavy sighs that may or may not come out of me when he threatens to break you if you break my heart. Speaking of wedding, I want to invite you, and I want you to know that I want to invite you, but this is going to be a pretty massive event...and I don't want you to be overwhelmed? Big loud crowd and all that. So I was thinking that I would come by afterward? You can see me in a pretty dress, which is a rare occurrence.

Well, this could cause a lapse in conversations. What happens when we're both speechless?

But I like Morgan distractions. They're the best distractions. The ice-skating - I want to learn right, like you did. I know I'll never be that good, but the shared experience matters to me.

Any heavy sighs will be greeted with the joy they deserve, but I promise I'll keep a straight face, no matter what! The wedding, huh? I would very much like to see you afterwards, pretty dress or not, and might possibly drop in and wish your parents well before possibly lurking and vanishing. Would that be seen as horribly rude? It seems so big but afterwards sounds perfect. You can tell me everything.

I think that's the moment I kiss you?

I can't fault you for that, because I might also be fond of the fact that I can distract you so easily. But next time, it's serious business. No flirty Morgan distractions. ;)

It wouldn't be horribly rude. They will appreciate that you came, and I may sneak into your lurking spot for a few moments before you vanish. I will definitely come to see you afterward, though, with plenty of stories in tow. I may even save you a dance.

Then you'll have to forgive me if I feign speechlessness every now and then.
