Dakota groaned as Adam poked her, in a futil attempt at waking the slumbering female. "Go 'way" Dakota mumbled into her pillow, swatting at the annoying male. Adam smirked, and poked her again. "No pokey." she mumbled again, then squeaked as he pulled her on top of him. "Adam! Lemme go back to sleep!" She pouted, twisting and writhing until she was laying face to face with Adam, balanced on his chest.
"Hi hun." He said, smiling and kissing her gently. Dakota looked down at him, lower lip quivering in a pout. "What's wrong Kota?" He ran a finger down her arm, his eyes flicking over her face. "You no let Kota sleep." She pouted, rolling off him and back into a ball. Jeff blinked over at them, brow raised as he tried to wake AJ. "I dont think this is gonna work Adam." He said, poking AJ, who had wrapped herself in blankets, forming a coccoon around her curled body. A muffled 'No pokey' sounded from the bundle, which made both males smile, as Dakota raised from her position to blink at the mass.
Adam sighed, slipped from the covers and stood, streaching groggily. Jeff did much the same, and grabbed the bundled up AJ, blankets and all. AJ squirmed and yelled something inaudible from the coccoon. Jeff walked past Adam, and into the bathroom, dropping AJ into the tub. She quickly wormed her way halfway out of the blankets, staring at Jeff. "You wouldnt." Jeff simply smirked and put a hand on the tap. AJ screamed, fighting to get out of the coccoon, over the edge and falling on the floor. Jeff laughed, and pulled her up, receiving a well deserved smack in the head.
Adam smiled at the screams emitting from the bathroom, his own way devised to waking Dakota. He slipped a hand under the blankets, which Dakota had positioned around her slender body. Crawling under then, he crept up her body until he was looking down on her peaceful face. Smiling down at her, he kissed her gently, then whispered 'wakey wakey'. With that, he sat up, ripping the blankets from Dakota, who yelled and clung to him.
"No! Anything but the blankets!" She whimpered, pouting. Adam smiled again, wrapping his arms and the blankets around Dakota. He started to kiss her as Jeff ambled from the bathroom, rubbing the back of his head. Dakota smirked, pushed Adam off the bed and promptly curled up in the blankets again. Adam winced as he hit the floor with a thud, then grabbed the blankets off Dakota. "Get up woman."
Dakota whimpered, then at the steeling look cast her way by her husband she jumped up off the bed, head hanging and trudged into the bathroom. She closed the door with a bang, locking it after her. AJ looked up from her standing position outside, wringing out her wet hair. She cast a questioning look at Jeff and Adam. "What the hell did I miss?"

AJ cast an uneasy glance between Dakota and Adam, who hadnt said two words to each other since that morning. Jeff closed the rental's trunk, and glanced over at Adam, who was leaning against his own rental, staring off into space. Dakota slammed the trunk shut, causing the car to shudder, and kicked closed one of the back doors. AJ winced, and grabbed Dakota's wrist, dragging her some distance from the males.
"D, what's up?" She asked, once out of ear shout. Dakota shrugged, and AJ sighed, agravated by her friends stubborness. "Spill it Kota." Dakota blinked, then hung her head, blue gray eyes cast to the pavement of the hotel parking lot.
"Adam and I had a fight last night..." She finally sighed, banging her head against the wall in which they stood by. AJ whistled, then shook her head. "When? When did you have this fight?" "After you and Jeff went to sleep, just forget it." Dakota turned, about to head towards the two waiting cars. "You were happy this morning... well, for a little while." AJ grabbed her arm, pulling her back.
"What was the fight about?" She questioned, not caring if she was pressuring. Dakota sighed, "Jessica." AJ swore softly, relenting in her inquisition. "Damn, Im sorry... Dont let that bitch get between you and Adam, ok?" Dakota smiled a bit. "Ok, thanks." They walked back towards the cars, Adam pushed opened the passenger door while AJ climbed into Jeff's car. "See ya in Chicago!" She yelled, before Jeff sped off. Dakota hung her head, slipped into the passenger seat beside Adam and waited for the long, silent journey ahead.
