Names.
My head was swimming trying to remember everyone's names. Axle had pointed out everyone in turn and told me their names but I was still having trouble. I never was good with names...
"Anyone up for mob hunting tonight?" The brown haired boy with the bow asked, twanging his bow string. I think Axle had said his name was what? Jay?
The blond next to him grinned wide and announced his participation as Jay tucked a stone sword into his belt.
"Me too" Came a quiet voice out of the darkness. Axle's sister, Rodent. She fixed her wooden hoe on her back, pulling out an iron sword of her own.
"You Doomesdaye?" The blond, who was now holding his own diamond sword, addressed the miner. I stared at the boy for a moment. A-Ha! That's it! Wingnuts!
The miner standing next to him shook his head. "Nah. I've got mining to do. Found a ravine yesterday and I wanna spelunk it." Doomesdaye informed the group, twirling his pick in his hand with a look of anticipation on his face.
"ChaosFire?" The archer piped up, looking at the couple. The girl, Kayfire I think, looked up at her partner before answering for the both of them.
"Me and Chaos have things to do"
I noticed Wingnuts raise an eyebrow at her. Kayfire poked her tongue out at him in a childish response. I chuckled. I think me and her will get on well...
Axle rolled his eyes at the pair antics. "I'll pass this time Jay. I better help Moohicky feel at home."
The archer bounced his eyebrows at Axle, causing him to blush bright pink and glare at Jay. I heard Wingnuts chuckle and noticed Doomesdaye trying to hide a smile. A "Bow-Chicka-Wow-Wow" was uttered by Kayfire under breath while Rodent generally looked round in confusion.
"No Jay, you hormone riddled male."
There was a chorus of laughter from the group and Jay merely shrugged it off, still grinning, taking it all in his stride.
I smiled. I could tell already these guys were close friends, even though they insulted each other. They were welcoming, but at the same time, I felt awkward. I hardly even know these people...
Axle leant over and whispered into my ear, breaking my thoughts.
"Welcome to my mad group of friends Moohicky. Good luck."
Hey readers! I'm so sorry for not updating in so long! *Ducks flying tomatoes* But seriously guys, I'm sorry. Time slipped away from me, with school (ugh), Playing Feed The Beast, watching H.A.T Films and managing to strain my arm so I couldn't type. I don't even know. Anyway, here you go, and I'll try to be more frequent with updates. If you guys have any suggestions of what the Grounded team gets up to, PM or leave me a review. It is most appreciated :3 Thanks guys! -Moohicky
