Disclaimer: I don't own Lara Croft, or any Tomb Raider character. I do however own Teagan Blue, so don't steal her. I don't own Play Station either.

This one's gonna be short, just a heads up.

The morning seemed to come as soon as I fell asleep. I awoke to the annoying, "ARG, ARG, ARG!" sound of the alarm clock on the nightstand. I was still rubbing the sleep out of my eyes when Lara burst into the room.

" 'Morning, Teagan," she greeted briskly.

"Mphf. . . " I grumbled.

Lara was showered and dressed in her usual daily attire, even though it was 5:00 AM. I couldn't help but be annoyed and surly; I'd taken me a while to go to sleep and here she was, all bright-eyed and bushy tailed.

"Let's go, Miss Blue," she prodded as she ripped the covers off me.

I simply rolled over and groaned as I slammed the pillow over my head. My relief was short-lived, however, as a huge bang made me leap off the bed and onto my feet. Lara stood across from me with an angry look on her face. I also noticed that she was holding a smoking pistol in her right hand. Not wanting to piss off a crazy bitch with a loaded gun, I quickly got dressed and had a quick bite of toast before heading out the door.

Lara was already waiting for me in a jeep by the gate.

"Let's go!"

She floored the gas pedal and away we went. She drove through just about every puddle of mud there was before she slammed on the brakes just on the edge of a gravel trail.

"What are we doing here?" I asked with a yawn.

"Oh, don't tell me you've already forgotten. We're hiking ten miles today."

I just rolled my eyes and rested my head on my shoulder.

"Come on. . ." she moaned. "Grab a backpack, you'll need it."

She took her customary backpack and I took the one that I'd come into the game with. She led me to the trail and we began the grueling ten mile hike.
