Annie and Hitch are sitting together on a quiet evening outside the barracks. They're gazing at the stars, their camaraderie stronger than ever after their famous Head & Shoulders commercial.

Annie: softly "You know, Hitch, I never expected we'd become this close."

Hitch: smiling "Me neither, but I'm glad we did."

Annie: hesitant"There's something I've been meaning to ask you."

Hitch: curious"What is it?"

Annie: nervous "Do you, uh, have any žiža for sale?"

Hitch's eyes widen in surprise, and then she smiles playfully.

Hitch: "Oh, so you're interested in some žiža, huh?"

Annie: blushing "Well, I heard from some of the others that you might have some."

Hitch: teasing "Oh, Annie, are you trying to loosen up a bit?"

Annie: sheepishly "Maybe... just a little."

Hitch: grinning "Well, lucky for you, I have some stashed away for special occasions."

She reaches into her bag and pulls out a small container of žiža.

Hitch: "But you know, this is not your ordinary žiža. This one's pretty special."

Annie: intriguede "Special? How so?"

Hitch: smirking "It's called 'Starlight Bliss.' It's known for giving you the feeling of floating among the stars."

Annie: "Floating among the stars, huh? Sounds too good to be true."

Hitch: "Trust me, it's an experience you won't forget."

Annie took the container from Hitch, and they both move closer together, sitting shoulder to shoulder.

Annie: softly "I do trust you."

Hitch: gentle "You know, Annie, I never thought I'd find someone like you in the military. You're strong, independent, and you have this aura of mystery around you."

Annie: blushing "I could say the same about you. You're outgoing, adventurous, and unafraid to speak your mind."

Hitch: tenderly"But you're the one who's taught me to embrace my strengths and be proud of who I am."

Annie: "I didn't expect to find a true friend in the military either. You've made my life here much more bearable."

Hitch: leaning closer "You've made mine brighter too."

They share a soft smile before Annie opens the container of žiža. They take a small amount each and light it up.

Annie: "To new experiences, and to the stars."

Hitch: "To us, Annie."

They take a drag, and as the effects of the žiža start to take hold, they both lean back, staring up at the starry night sky.

Annie: gently "I feel... weightless."

Hitch: whispering "Like we're floating among the stars."

Their hands find each other, and they hold on tightly, their hearts beating in sync.

Annie: softly "Thank you, Hitch."

Hitch: whispering "For what?"

Annie: "For being here, for accepting me, and for showing me a different side of life."

Hitch: squeezing Annie's hand "Anytime, Annie. You're not alone in this world."

As they continue to gaze at the stars, the warmth of their affection grows, and a tender love blossoms between them—forged through friendship, shared experiences, and the magic of the stars.
