"Man, we smell bad," Armpit said, taking another big bite from an onion.
"No showers for days and the intake of like a million onions is no way to make a person their cleanest," Static said laughing, she too was eating an onion.
Ten out of the fourteen members of D tent were spread out over the rocks on the landing, which they now called The Oasis. Everyone was either lyeing in the water or drapped out over one of the rocks, soaking wet, and nodding off to sleep.
Rogue was sitting beside a rock far away from everyone else, scowling as X- Ray stared longingly at her. Magnetic and Magnet were sure to sit as far away from each other as possible, each one glancing menacingly over at the other occasionally. Fidget, who was usually to busy fidgeting with things to fall asleep very quickly, was sound asleep, sitting in one of the pools of water, her head resting against Twitch's chest (Twitch seemed to be too excited for words). Lei was lyeing on her stomache in the water, studying the onion she held in her hands in a dazed, sleepy sort of way. Static and ZigZag were both resting against the same rock that jutted out into the water, and Armpit lay just outside the water, falling asleep and waking up shortly after as he slowly ate onions.
"I wonder what Zippy and Zero are doing?" Lei said, a big grin spreading across her face. "They've been gone an awfully long time now."
"Well I'm curious about Squid and Chase," Static said. "They've been gone for a while also."
"Well no longer must you be curious," Chase said, climbing down from the rocks and joining the rest of D tent.
"Awwwwwww!" Lei cried. "We thought you would be mouth to mouth with Squid by now!"
"Hell no," Chase said, she plopped down beside the pool of water, pulled an onion out of the ground, and began eating it-she didn't show any sign of the tears she'd cried just moments before.
"Where is Squid?" ZigZag asked. "Don't tell me you just left him up there?"
"So what if I did?" Chase asked, her mouth full.
"Poor guy," Twitch said. "He probably feels so rejected."
"Yeah," Static agreed.
"God, you guys are making me sound like the worst person in the world," Chase said. "Besides, it definitly wasn't the scene for kissing up there."
"Awww, you didn't kiss him? What's wrong with you Chase?" It was Zippy. She and Zero had retired from their secret spot hidden behind the rocks and were now returning to The Oasis.
"Ooh here comes the cuddley couple!" Lei said laughing.
"Shut up," Zippy replied, but she couldn't help grinning from ear to ear as she and Zero sat down beside the pool.
"What?" Magnetic snapped suddenly, making everyone jump (including Fidget). Magnetic was glaring coldly at Magnet who had apparently been watching her from across the pool.
"Nothing," Magnet said sheepishly, he quickly turned away from Magnetic.
Lei and Static raised their eyebrows at each other as if they were silently saying, "Ooooooooh!"
As everyone was slowly drifting off into sleep Chase sat down against a rock a little ways back from everyone else. She lay back, ready to fall asleep when suddenly a strange thought she couldn't get rid of drifted across her mind; how did it feel to kiss Squid? Chase hadn't romantically kissed anyone for quite some time now and she was shocked that she would actually wonder about such a thing. But Squid just kept coming into her mind; his lips, his smile, his dark eyes. Chase would have probably punched herself for thinking and longing about such things but she was too busy falling into a peaceful sleep filled with thoughts and dreams about Squid.
