"So, what time is the shower suppose to start?" she asked, inching her head to the left.
Osmond twisted his wrist up to his eyes. "About four hours from now at nine." he replied. "We've still got a lot of time. How about some trivia to pass the time?"
Shinju chuckled. "Alright," she replied. "How about I ask you a question and if you get it right, you can ask me a question. Likewise, if you get it wrong, I get to ask another question. Same goes for you."
Osmond smiled. "Sounds fair," he said. "You ask the first question."

"Alright, easy one, how long does it take for light to travel across the Milky way galaxy?"
"That's trivia?" Osmond laughed with raised eyebrows. "That's so easy it should be common knowledge! Seventy-five thousand years."
Shinju puffed her cheeks out. "Okay, fine, it was an easy one, Now your turn."
"How far from Earth is the Orion nebula?"
Shinju poked her finger to her lip for one moment to think. Osmond couldn't help but stare at for a bit as she thought. Without realizing it, he was slowly leaning it towards her. When she finally found her answer, Shinju popped up with her epiphany than stared awkwardly at Osmond who was a few inches away from her.
"Uh, Osmond?" she croaked.
"Oh, right, sorry." he croaked too, embarrassed again. "Your answer?"
"Fifteen hundred light years away?" she said.
"Bing-bong, you're correct." Osmond smiled.

"Haha, yay!" Shinju cheered as she raised her arms up in the air. "Okay, okay, my turn. Uhhh, how many moons does Jupiter have?"
"Sixty-three." Osmond responded almost immediately. "Why don't you ask harder ones?"
"Oh, Osmond." she sighed. "That is a hard one! Why don't I just ask you to name all of the Galilean Moons too?"
"Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Also, all of them are said to be lovers of Zeus. Take that-!" Osmond injected a forefinger into her face and she shooed it away.
"Oh goodness, just ask me a question!" Shinju huffed.
"Fine, fine." he sighed. "How many named constellations are there?"

"Hmm . . . " Shinju angled her legs up and rested her chin upon her knees. "Eighty-"
"Eight, yep." Osmond nodded his head.
"Oh, Osmond!" she huffed again.
"Aha, alright, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Osmond dodged left as she tried to smothered his face in her palm. "Ask me a question than. A hard one."
"Fine," she replied. Pressing her forehead against her knee, she thought for a moment before raising her head towards him. "What's my favorite constellation, than?" she asked, smiling sweetly.
"That's not a hard one," Osmond chuckled. "Cetus."
"Idiot," she laughed. "But you're right."
Their exchange of trivia continued until the sky hued a soft gradient of midnight purple to navy blue. Osmond checked his watch a second time, using a flashlight to see, and nodded towards it.
"Only a few more minutes," he replied to Shinju whose arms had fell upwards towards the heavens in a stretch.
"Oh, about time!" she cried.
