"I can't believe I am saying this Tex, but if we don't squeeze together, we are going to freeze out here."
"So? Your problem, not mine."
"So? So I don't want to die out here from the freakin' weather! Come on, just until we can get back to base." She sighed.
"Come on, I know you're cold, why can't you just admit it? I am your boyfriend, you know…"
"Take one more step and I'll punch your lights out."
Some time later in a darker corner of the cave…
"What the hell, man? You wake me up because you had a bad dream?"
"Uh huh."
"I just can't get a freakin' break, can I? Caboose shut the hell up and go back to sleep. Just leave me alone."
"But it was really, really, scary Tucker!" Caboose was close to tears.
"What do you want me to do about it? It was just a dream, it wasn't real. Oh man, I can't believe I am sitting here explaining to you what a freakin' dream is. It isn't real, it isn't going to happen, and big fluffy rabbits are not going to attack you when you go back to sleep!"
"Promise?" Tucker sighed.
"Yes! Now go to sleep…Not on me! Over there! Didn't we just go through this!"
"But I'm scared! I promise I won't bother you! I don't snore!"
"Caboose, I am not going to sleep with you." Tears began forming in Caboose's eyes. Tucker took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"Fine," he managed through grated teeth.
"Thank you, Tucker!"
"Don't talk to me. And don't touch me! Just go to sleep." Caboose laid down next to him and was asleep within minutes. "I don't believe this. I'm just glad the reds can't see me."
"Well, well, well…Get a look at what we have here." Tex cracked one eye open to find herself asleep on Church with his arms wrapped around her and a smirk on his face. She glared at him.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!"
"Me? You are on top of me, in case you hadn't noticed!"
"Well, in case you hadn't noticed, you are the one who moved when he was sleeping! How did you manage to move 5 feet in your sleep?"
Cricket, cricket...
"Now let go of me!"
"No."
"And why the hell not?" Tex's temper flared up.
"Do you know how cold it is out here? It's dark out, and it's still pouring. Unless you have some blankets with you or something, this is the only way we're going to stay warm. I don't know about you, but I for one do not want to freeze to death!"
"I fucking hate you."
"Love you too, babe." She punched him.
"I warned you what would happen if any of you moved. And guess what, Church? You moved." He considered this for a moment.
"Please don't kill me."
