It was down to two people now. Sadie and Dawn. Both of them were very tired by now, and they were doing everything to win their muffins or cookies.
Of course they didn't just do it for the prize. It was for the honor too. The person who won could always look at themselves as the cool person who could stay awake the longest. Not sure if that's something you would exactly want to be called, but both of the girls surely did.
They had promised each other they wouldn't make each other fall asleep, so it would be a fair game from now on. Three people had lost because someone else made them fall asleep, but that could not be the case for Sadie and Dawn. They were both determined to get their favorite dessert, and since Nicky would make it, it would surely be even better than usual. Dawn knew that was true, and Sadie believed her.
Saturday-1:30 am
Dawn sat on her desk chair. Sadie was behind her, sitting on the bed. They were almost dozing off, but still talking to each other. The tired side of them had knocked away the competitive side, and they were more chill with the competition.
Outside it was pitch black. So was all the rooms except Dawn's. The girls were expecting that they would fall asleep soon, so they had resided into Dawn's room.
"Who do you think will wake up first tomorrow?" Sadie asked.
Dawn snorted.
"It is 'tomorrow'. It's 1:30 am"
"Then... who do you think will wake up first... today?"
"Well, if none of you are early birds, I think Nicky will. He's always the first one up"
Sadie nodded.
"I usually get out of bed around six. But I don't know abut today, I mean I want more than four hours of sleep"
"Same"
"Can't you just fall asleep?" Sadie smiled when Dawn looked back at her.
"Why can't you?" Dawn smiled back.
"I want red velvet cookies"
"I want chocolate chip muffins"
"You know what'll be good too"
Dawn shook her head.
"Free frozen yogurt!" Sadie laughed evilly.
"Just because you won that bet by hypnotizing Miles"
"I still won!"
Dawn then began rambling, while turning her head back to the desk.
"Yeah, but if you hadn't done that, I would've won. Ricky went to bed just like ten minutes later, and I knew he would. Of course, I have no idea when Mae fell asleep. I just found her in here"
She snorted.
"Mama ain't getting her pie later. None of those gone-to-sleep-ers are getting whatever they like most. It'll either be red velvet cookies, or my delicious, amazing, chocolaty, chocolate chip muffins. What do you think, Sadie?"
She got no reply.
"Sadie?" She spun half a lap on her chair, and saw Sadie. She was asleep, resting her head on the end of Dawn's bed. Dawn nodded to herself, and smirked.
"Looks like Sadie's betting on the muffins"
The realization that she won kicked in a few seconds later. She jumped in her chair.
"Oh my gosh, I've won!"
She stood up.
"Oooooooh, yes!"
Then the tiredness kicked in again, and she yawned. She thought to herself that she would just move Sadie, and jump right into bed. But then she got another thought. Of course she wanted to brag about winning to someone. So she opened her bedroom door, and saw the darkness of the hallway.
Well, she didn't care at the time. The 'That' clown was free to get her now, she won the competition. She opened the door to the boys room, and carefully stepped in. Miles and Kipper lay in their sleeping bags, fast asleep. Miles was on his stomach, and Kipper on his side.
Dawn looked up at the boys. Dicky was still in the same position he fell asleep in. On his back, with the glass of warm milk poured over his chest. On the other side of the room Nicky and Ricky were sleeping. Ricky was stiff and peacefully asleep, and Nicky was twisting and turning again.
This meant there was no one Dawn could brag to. She just went back into her room, moved Sadie, and jumped into her bed. It felt more comfortable than ever. She was asleep in just five minutes.
The competition was finally over.
