The rest of the car ride was pretty silent, other than Catherine's panicking. Then, after a few moments, the radio in Robin's hand suddenly started crackling and a young girl's voice emitted from it. "Dusty-bun, you copy?" The voice said.

"I copy, Suzie-poo. It sounds much better now, thanks."

All three of the teens that were squashed together in the back shared a look. "Suzie." They said simultaneously.

"Okay, so, listen," They heard Dustin say. "Do you know Planck's constant?"

"Do you know the Earth orbits the sun?"

They heard Dustin snicker. "Okay, so I know it starts with two sixes, and then a... W-What is it?"

"Okay, let me just be clear on this. I haven't heard from you in a week, and now you want a mathematical equation that you should know so you can... save the world?"

"Suzie-poo," Cat cringed at the nickname her brother had christened his first girlfriend with, "I promise, I will make it up to you as soon as possible."

"You can make it up to me now."

"Oh, my God." Catherine mumbled, burying her head in Steve's shoulder out of embarrassment.

"What?" Dustin asked.

"I want to hear it."

"Oh, Lord..." Cat grumbled, somehow restraining herself from pulling out her hair.

"Not right now." It was clear that Dustin was panicking about whatever it was that Suzie wanted him to do.

"Yes, now, Dusty-bun."

"Suzie-poo, this is urgent."

"Yes, yes, you're saving the world, I heard you the first time, but Ged is also saving Earthsea and he's about to confront the shadow, so this is Suzie, signing off."

"Oh, God. We're never gonna make it." Cat sighed, glancing worriedly to Steve and then Robin.

"Wait, wait, wait! Okay. Okay. Okay." There was a moment of silence before they all heard it. The song from the film Claudia Henderson made her two children watch one evening when the summer holidays had just started. Never Ending Story.

"Oh, my God..." Cat laughed, lifting her head up from Steve's shoulder as she listened to her younger brother sing a duet with his girlfriend. "You've got to be joking. Who has time to casually sing a song? The world is literally about to end."

"Planck's constant is 6.62607004." Suzie said once the pair had finally finished singing.

Catherine would have found their song cute if it wasn't for the fact that they were desperately trying to stop a terrifying creature from destroying the world.
