Midnight: I'm alive. I feel bad for disappearing. Then my muses decided to go on vacation so I've been lost on ideas. I have now /convinced/ them to keep working.
Lin: I hate you…
Raine: It's our fault really; we had her doing other things. But when she got upset we decided to help her with the fic some more.
Lin: She dosn't own a darn thing and she wants some reviews. Any flames will be laughed at.
Midnight: I just love my muses. Well before I bore you all with my complaining and rambling… Let's get on with the fic.
A bright light shone right into my eyes; I hate it when Tohru opens the window curtains while I'm sleeping. "Damn, Tohru. Just give me five more minutes okay, I said turning on my side. "But I didn't here Tohru tell me to wake up, and I couldn't smell breakfast. I opened my eyes only to see a small chipmunk scurry up a tree. I completely forgot that I was stuck in the middle of NOWHERE!
I glanced over to somewhere on my left; I could see the river through the trees about fifty feet away. To my right lay the shredded remains of our tent. During the fight for sleeping arrangements a particularly strong gust of wind too the tent through a course of tree branches, thorn bushes, and rocks before we caught up with it. By that time the damage had been done and the tent was in shreds. I rubbed at the bruise on my right cheek. I had a few other ones and some cuts to mention from my fight with Yuki, he was supposed to stake down the tent. So last night we ended up sleeping with more space than expected, so at least sleeping arrangements weren't a problem.
Yuki and Haru were still asleep. I could hear the snoring. I was debating weather or not I should just leave theme here and find my own way out of this. Damn, and now it's starting to rain. There was a weird gurgling sound, and then I heard someone sputtering and coughing. Oh joy… Yuki and Haru must be up!
"What the heck?" At least Yuki was up. I found a nice tree to stand under; it kept me dry enough for now. I really hate the rain…
"So Yuki, have a nice sleep?" It was nothing more than the rat deserved; he did look like a drowned rat, as the saying goes. I found myself laughing and barely missed gaining another bruise. I guess our little fight woke Haru because he was trying to reason with us to stop being so noisy. What, did he like sleeping in the rain? And to think it was supposed to be clear skies all weekend. I was mad with Yuki, but I was more upset with myself for ever destroying that stupid map. We finally calmed down and figured we should work together to get out of here. I'll give you three guesses how long we were able to stay civilized. You can't help but rebel against something you don't like…
"Are you saying we should try to find them? IN THIS!" I was making wild gestures toward the rain. I guess you could say I was a bit, well, upset… "How are we supposed to find them, huh genius? Follow their footprints?"
"That would be the general idea, now wouldn't it? But we have to leave now if we don't want the footprints to be washed away. I've calculated that our path should be in that general direction." I couldn't believe it Yuki was serious.
"What, get back over here you stupid rat." They were already walking away. I think he was taking advantage of the rain's effect on me. I ended up following shortly thereafter, just too tired to fight back anymore. We found that steep hill and followed it until it got to an easily manageable slope, then climbed up to find some very feint footprints. It's just too bad we couldn't figure out what direction they were going. So we chose one way and just followed it.
After an hour slowly trudging through mud we found an abandoned fire ring, this must be where they camped last night. And now all the footprints were gone, so we had no clue which way they went since it was completely flat. "Great, now we're lost, good job."
"Well sorry for trying to…" I was feeling extremely weak and light headed right now. "Hey Kyou? Kyou! You okay, speak up. Haru, we're setting up camp right here. Let's help Kyou first."
"Right, hey Kyou, can you hear me? Kyou…" I really couldn't hear them well anymore; they were also getting a bit blurry. All of a sudden I was falling, but I couldn't do anything, I just closed my eyes. What I hit was warm and a bit stiff. I couldn't stay awake any longer; I was just so tired…
Midnight: Yay, I'm Alive. (Starts dancing around)
Lin: You do realize you already said that, don't you.
Raine: Lin just ignore it and it'll eventually stop, I hope.
Midnight: I'm really happy. I want to write more.
Raine: Yes, we'll help you write more soon, but it's time to sleep now.
Lin: Yeah, so you can leave us alone to think.
Raine: We'll make sure she updates again soon, no joke this time.
Midnight: I guess that's it for the moment. I wish I had more to give you guys but it's midnight and I'm tired. So until next time…
