Friends Forever
Rachel sighed as she finally finished the reports she had been given to do. It had taken her a good few hours to get them all in and now she was physically and mentally exhausted.
Turning off her computer, she got up from her chair, stretched out her sore muscles, and went to the living room, plopping down on the couch and leaning back, closing her eyes and letting out another sigh.
Snare-oh woke up when he felt someone plop down in his lap. He saw it was Rachel and realized she probably had no idea she was sitting on him. He heard her sigh and knew that she was tired. He then had an idea.
Rachel felt something lightly tickle her sides and she giggled, trying to move away from whatever was tickling her, but it seemed to move with her. "Tickle tickle tickle," a familiar voice chuckled in her ear.
Rachel turned her head to see who was behind her. "Snare-oh," she said with a smile as he stopped tickling her. She then realized she was sitting on him. "Oh, sorry."
"It's alright," he said, wrapping his arms around her to keep her from getting up. "The reports stress you out?" he asked her.
"Yeah," she said, "but they're finally done."
"Good," said Snare-oh as he then began to tickle her again.
"Heeheeheehee!" Rachel laughed as the strong, cloth-like fingers tickled her weak spots. "Snare-ohhohohoho! Stop!"
"Not yet," he said to her teasingly as he kept on tickling her. Suddenly, Rachel began coughing and Snare-oh stopped, patting her back to help her breathe again. She stopped coughing after a minute and lay back against Snare-oh's broad chest. He brought his hands up and massaged her shoulders soothingly. She sighed in gratitude.
"Lie down," said Snare-oh and she did, with her head and upper body across his lap. The alien mummy then rubbed her back.
Rachel let out another grateful sigh as Snare-oh expertly massaged her sore back, shoulders, and neck, occasionally poking her sides gently to make her laugh. Soon, he stopped and she felt much better.
"Better?" he asked her. She nodded. "Good," he continued, pulling her into a hug, which she accepted and hugged him back, not wanting to move away.
Snare-oh sensed this and turned the television on to the movie channels. Finding a good movie, the two friends settled down to watch it.
Later on that night, when Chromastone came home, he looked and saw his young charge and Snare-oh both sound asleep on the huge couch. Rachel was snuggled into the mummy's chest and he had his arms wrapped protectively around her, one hand rubbing her back every now and again and the other stroking her head every now and again, as if helping her relax.
Chromastone smiled and got a blanket, gently covering the two and pressed a gentle kiss on Rachel's forehead. "Good night, little one," he said softly. "Good night, old friend," he said to Snare-oh before walking away, leaving the two friends to their peaceful dreams.
