By the time they actually reached the canteen, where Keri and Aniesha were, everyone was practically falling asleep. It may only have been 4 o'clock but waking up at 6 and having a full on day was not enjoyable, especially as no one was prepared for it. All their bodies were still set in holiday mode, not spy mode. Rachel and Olivia sat down opposite Neish and Keri and put their heads on the table.
"Tired?" Neish asked. All the girl could do was nod their heads. They were exhausted. This definitely was not the ideal first birthday with the team! Joe and Dan came over after a few minutes of silence with food and lots of it. Dan thrust (Good word that; thrust. Plunge…. You'll only get that if you've seen Miranda) a sandwich carton, packet of crisps, a chocolate bar, an orange –because you have to be healthy too – and a bottle of water each in front of Rachel and Olivia.
"Eat!" Dan ordered. Neither made a move to eat because they were so tired so Tom said down Coms:
"If you don't at that, I will come down and eat it for you. I have run out of chocolate and biscuits and I'm willing to run!" With that both girls were sat up eating. They knew Tom wouldn't actually run all the way here – even if it was for food. Dan and Joe sat next to them with their own food. Joe had gone for a large bowl of chips – he wouldn't be the only one eating them! Dan had gone with something healthier, a salad. All anyone could hear was Tom complaining down the Coms about it being ridiculously healthy and being rabbit food and stuff like that, while stuffing his face with biscuits he had found in the base; who knows how long they had been there!
"Tom, like this, you will end up in a food coma or something like that!" Aniesha said. (Jasmine!)
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever," Tom said, ignoring whatever anyone was saying. He was fed up of FRELLA and turned to food for counselling about it. He decided that because all he would be able to hear was himself eating, there was less chance of him dying of smut overdose.
"Anyway, guys, when are you getting back?"
"6 probably, why?" Keri said.
"Birthday, duh!" Tom shouted. Obviously he was hyper. Through Coms, they could now hear pop music, blasting at full volume. Apparently he wasn't waiting to start the party.
"Right, let's go before he does anything to stupid!" Dan said. The six got up and went to reception and organised a car to take them home. Joe wasn't too happy about leaving his chips though so asked for a plastic bag so he could put them in. What was it with boys and food?
By 5 they were home, well, the base, and were curious to see Tom asleep on the floor whilst the music was still playing and no sign of Frank or Stella in sight.
"Right…." Dan said, scratching the back of his head.
"What did I say? I told him, food coma. Look what happens when he doesn't listen!" Aniesha said.
There you go. Short but yeah. Woo Hoo! I'll shut up now…
