Snippet #2744998

And so as they slept, the night turned into the deep night, the two/three moons of Origin shined in the night sky, and all seemed quite and peaceful, as far as anyone could tell anyways. The two friends slept soundly, enjoying their peaceful friendship slumber. Atrix even unconsciously loosened up in his sleep because he felt like he had a friend he could trust there with him. Of course, when he woke up he would probably get embarrassed.

And when day finally did return, and sun creaked in through the windows and sky projection, Atrix began to wake up in a groggy like fashion. He started to push himself up but ended up falling over and forward, landing on something soft and warm. And when he used his arms to push himself up, he also ended up accidentally pressing on that person.

After that, he looked down and noticed their situation, and then remembered last night. The crying, and sadness, and the promise. Yes...Meeko who was like an older brother to him. That said, he still got embarassed by the current situation. He quickly sat up, but felt something else behind him. He turned around, and saw that two small arms were clung around him as well, and belonged to a white haired boy who was sleeping naked with them.

But of course, seeing this scene Atrix's face turned really red. "Oh wow...oh no, people are totally going to misinterpret this..."

"Why?" the boy asked Atrix innocently. "My name is Ixian, by the way..."

"Well, because I mean, we were all naked in the same bed and..."

"But we are all boys? Shouldn't it be fine? I think its really all in your head, maybe only it would be weird if you made a fuss of it sillybrain".

"Well..."

"Only weird people would believe such fantasy. At least based on my experiences, this stuff is totally normal. In fact, we could probably go the whole morning like this! Plus..."

"Plus?"

"Who will find out while there are only three of us here?"

At that comment, it finally hit Atrix that Ixian was right....however....

"Why did you crawl into this bed with us? And why are you naked?"

"...I got lonely, and I felt weird if I was the only one dressed. Can we have breakfast now?"

"Okay, but first..."

Suddenly, both Atrix's and Ixian's stomachs grumbled. Well, Meeko's might have as well.

"First lets get dressed. Meeko, wake up now".

Atrix nudged Meeko a bit, and then poked his nose, to get him to start waking up while Atrix jumped out of bed with a sheet wrapped around him. Ixian however grabbed the sheet and pulled it away.

"You almost took this by mistake!"

"...it wasn't a mistake!"

"Well can we have breakfast now?"

"Didn't you kind of just barge in here? And no! We should get dressed first! Ah wait...uhhh, we also have not showered yet either..."

"All of that can happen later! We can get dressed after! Breakfast now! And that way, we wont spill any food on our clothes!"

"No no no!"

It appeared that Ixian was so hungry he just wanted food right now, even before getting dressed which Atrix felt was weird. Also, Atrix realized that they had not even showered yet. Since the tent couldn't be installed with plumbing, due to the fact it would need to be connected ot an external water source and also have a pipe to dump waste out of, there was no shower or toilet. As for showers, there were essentially wooden stalls out doors. People would have to leave their stuff outside or hanging on the walls or door and have water pour onto them. And there were bathrooms in the office buildings and such. So if they wanted to shower, they had to use that, or bathe in the river.

Atrix wondered if Meeko would be willing to let him get away with not showering during the camping trip, at least every morning, but given that it would add to his bad habits...well, Atrix would hope for the best. But first...

Atrix and Ixian looked at Meeko. "We need a tiebreaker!"

The situation was utterly ridiculous.

But of course, there was also the event coming up this morning that would be ridiculous in its own way.
