My tummy hurts from laughing. Ask Mobius Shadow, he'll verify it! Oooh...
ouch.
Chapter 4 is up, tra-la, tra-la, tra-la!!!
(During the first scene, try to imagine the song "Morning Mood" softly playing in the background. That's from Peer Gynt, Kevin. Remember all the swans I drew on my divider while listening to it? Yep, it's that song.)

The day's first crimson-gold beams of sunlight danced over Auron's relaxed face. Leaning against a large rock in peaceful repose, his one eye gradually pried itself open. He was greeted with a splendid display of light, Mother Nature's palate dazzling him with her vivid shades of orange, red, yellow, and blue flitting across the magnificent sky. Auron stood up and stretched his right arm high above his head, then rotated his shoulder around to loosen it up.
"What a beautiful morning," he thought aloud to himself. "And what better excuse is there for waking the others up at this unholy hour?"
Auron quietly strolled down the path a ways to the moonflow. Stooping down, he looked all around to make sure nobody was watching him before scooping up some water in his hands. Taking care not to spill any of it, he made his way back to where the others were sleeping.
Being notoriously serious and rugged, Auron's occasional sense of humor went unnoticed by many and forgotten altogether by everyone else. He was no fool, however, and knew a perfect opportunity when he saw one. Walking over to Tidus, who was sleeping in a bed of dry leaves back-to-back with Wakka, he poised his cupped hands directly over his head.
"One screaming, sputtering apple wakes up the entire barrel," he announced to nobody in particular before ruthlessly dumping the water on Tidus's face.
"Aah!!! Pooah, ptooey! Blecch!" Tidus choked and coughed loudly. "It went ub by nose!!! Why did yoo do dat?" he said, clutching his nose and glaring at Auron.
Auron couldn't help but chuckle at the pathetic sight of the young man writhing around in a pile of dirt and leaves. Tidus's groans and cries very soon had the entire group awakened.
"What's so funny?!?!"
Auron paused just long enough to say, "You," before breaking into whole- hearted laughter, soon joined by Wakka, Yuna, Lulu, and even Kimahri, who growled amusedly. They didn't seem to mind waking up at 5:30 in the morning when such a performance was provided for them upon awakening.
Tidus just sat there and glared at each and every guardian, blushing when his eyes met those of Yuna, who just couldn't control her near-hysterical laughter. She saw him throw a glance at her, and all of a sudden felt very guilty and tried to reduce her merriment to a giggle. Covering her mouth with both hands, she averted her eyes and struggled to think of sad things; Sin, death, destruction, broken hearts, anything to make her shut up before Tidus hated her forever. After recovering somewhat, she stole a glance back up at Tidus, who was trying to sling dirt at Auron. At that she just broke, and collapsed onto her side in fits of side-splitting laughter.
After about five minutes of utter chaos, the group finally settled down, and Tidus dried off. They would not soon forget that morning, and even Auron was wiping away traces of tears. Putting on his serious, down-to- business face once more, he slung his sword over his shoulder and addressed the group.
"We have a long day ahead of us. The shoopuf is ready and we have five minutes to get down there. Hurry up," he said, and with that he walked off toward the shoopuf station. Kimahri followed close behind. Yuna and Lulu left next, Yuna leaning on Lulu's shoulder, her sides sore from laughing so hard.
Wakka pat Tidus on the back. "It happens to the best of us, ya?" He said sympathetically.
Tidus sighed. "Yeah, I guess," he said.
Standing up and heading after the others, Wakka turned back and grinned at Tidus. "You gotta admit, brudda, it was pretty hilarious when you slipped and fell in the mud."
"Why you little-!"
Scrambling onto his feet, Tidus started after Wakka and chased him like a madman all the way to the station. A new day awaits...

Silly Tidus.
This wasn't the most... productive chapter I've written in my life, but hey, it gets things moving sort of. Things will happen soon, I promise!!! R&R, and I would love writing tips, but NOT suggestions on what should happen in the story. This is MY story!
Every story must have an ending, as every story must have a pointless chapter. Fight the power!!!
