All was quiet when X next entered the Tent. If anything this managed to scare him more. But the sight that had him fighting the urge to run was the girl who sat crossed legged in the middle of his cot.
"What are you doing?"
Amy simply sent him a smile and a flutter of her eyelashes in response. "Nothing I was just wondering…could you do me a favour?"
"No way in hell Princess." As he turned to leave a small sigh reached his ears.
"I guess I'll have to give this bar of chocolate to someone else. Oh well" As she went to leave the tent, chocolate bar in her hand, his own shot out grabbing at her now unbound but still bruised wrist. A shriek of pain had him letting go.
"Shit, I mean sorry. I'll do it." Amy smirked before chucking the chocolate at him; upon catching it he shoved it in his pocket before heading out the door. When they finally reached the destination he stared at the girl in amazement. They were at the shower blocks. A small building now replaced the once wooden stalls. "Please tell me this favour is to help wash your back."
"Ewww of course not you freak!" Amy shot him a disgusted look. "unfortunately, in case you didn't realise, I am surrounded by boys. And as my luck is pretty much linked to Murphy's Law, this building has no you guard the door and I'll shower. Win win scenario."
"That's all you wanted? For me to stand at a door?" Disbelief coloured his tone.
"Well if you don't want to…" she reached out her hand for the chocolate before he sighed and nodded." Good now turn around so I can get changed." As she began to pull her top off he spun round, unknown to him she only stripped off to her bikini as she did she sent a smile to the two boys watching a short distance away. They both nodded in return. At the sound of the door closing X wondered how long this would actually take. From what he remembered girls usually took forever on stuff like this…didn't they? But he really wanted to keep that chocolate.
20 minutes later he was ready to scream.
Every time he would nod off a loud whining sound would reach his ears, shocking him awake. Amy was singing. Problem was the girl couldn't carry a tune to save her life…she was on to her fifth song. Just as he was wondering how someone could take so long on one shower token and whether putting sand in his ears would cause permanent damage a voice spoke. "oh no, oh no, oh no." Though he couldn't see anything he turned to the door looking worried before knocking.
"Princess? Is something wrong?"
"No…well…except…" Silence
"Except what?"
"Except I left my towel…out there."
At this X- Ray flushed bright red. "Well what do you expect me to do about it?"
"Could you…could you pass it in? Please."
A few meters away 3 people began to head in his direction remaining out of sight. X-ray leant down picking up the towel before pushing the door open slowly. Just as an arm size gap was made a hand slammed down on his shoulder. "What do you think you're doing, boy?"
X gulped at Mr Sir towered over him. Leaning to the side he shot The Lump and Squid terrified glances. "I was…just passing… Amy her towel…she left it out here you see." He might have been believed if the girl in question hadn't appeared at that moment in time, a towel was wrapped round her Bikini clad body as another wrapped round her hair.
"Ermmm…why are you all outside? X? Is that the towel Twitch lost?" At her questions Mr Sir began to grin.
"I think you were hoping to catch a looksee. You best be coming with me."
"No! honest look she even bribed me with chocolate." Mr Sirs eyes widened.
"IS THAT FROM MY OFFICE? I HAPPEN TO BE MISSING A BAR MYSELF!"
As X was led off he turned back just able to make out the shadows of Amy, Squid and The Lump bent over in laughter.
That little witch.
Amy
All was quiet in the tent. After I had explained to the rest of the crew what had happened they had all had a good laugh. That was until X-ray still hadn't returned an hour later. Another minute passed by and I couldn't help but look outside yet again for any type of life, finally after what felt like the hundredth time a small silhouette began to approach. Quickly I ducked back in and hurried over to sit on the floor where her bed would be when he arrived.
"Princess?" Everyone tried to look as if they weren't focused on the two people in front of them.
"X?"
"Truce?"
"Truce." With that he took her slim hand in her own and shook before heading back once more to his cot. Frowning I sighed before lying on the ground and trying to fall to sleep eventually before I eventually slipped into a restless slumber.
Zig Zag
I frowned as I watched the girl toss and turn trying to get comfortable, I mean hell I found it uncomfortable and she was barely skin and bones. The bruise today had proved that she actually wasn't a robot. That didn't let her off the hook in any way shape or form but maybe…just maybe I could convince her to be good? First things first I had to win her support but how to do it?
A small groan had me looking at her once more, the floor looked really painful.
That was it.
I could make sure she slept okay. Slowly, I got out of bed and approached her before slowly scooping her up in my arms and lay her on the bed as I tried to move back though her own arms reached up and looped round my neck pulling me closer and making me tingle. "Stay with me?"
I tried pulling back but she just pulled more. Eventually I settled on the edge of the cot and she released me. I only planned on staying there a little while when her shallow breathing made me begin to drift off. It was kinda nice. My head even stopped rushing around after a few moments.
The last thing I felt was a hand settle on my chest as her warm form pressed against my side. A soft kiss was placed on my cheek sending electricity racing through my body. What did she do to me?!
I tried to move but was too relaxed, giving in I let my eyes slip shut as she began to mutter.
"Night night Ziggy… like you being here…"
Amy
My dreams began to change quicker and quicker. I was trapped in the dark with no way to get out, the one person who remained began to leave before I attached onto their arm…they had to stay with me…I was sitting in a nursery with a giant Baby called Ziggy who needed a lullaby to go to sleep. I was getting married, I was on a horse, I was in Venice on a gondola travelling down the small canals on my own once again. I was now snuggled into something soft, I felt a cheek move against my forehead and I stretched up placing my lips on theirs … That's when I noticed the people surrounding the cot and the blue eyes staring down at me."ermmm sorry?"
"You really did it this time Princess…"
