Upside Down
Chapter Eight: A Quirky Situation
September 22...
"Oh no!" I cried out in dismay.
"Huh? What?" Myuki asked, waking up from falling asleep on my back.
"My tent! It's gone!" I wailed.
"Did you put the stakes in?" she replied calmly.
"What stakes?" I asked, confused. She let out a sigh.
"Well I guess you have to sleep in my tent then." she said.
"What?" I asked, not believing what I was hearing.
"I said, you have to sleep in my tent then." she repeated slowly.
"Er…" I replied, not knowing what to say.
"Unless you prefer to camp in the woods with the bears, then by all means go ahead." Myuki said loftily. I had nothing more to say after that. Then, we crawled into her tent and fell promptly asleep.
September 23...in 3rd person point of view…
The sun was shining brightly, and birds were chirping in the forest. In the setting where Waya and Myuki were still sleeping soundly, there were some rustling sounds in the distance.
"Hikaru, are you sure this is the place?" a feminine voice called out.
"Of course I'm sure, see? Look at the map, Akari." replied Shindo's irritable voice. Evidently, Hikaru had absolutely no idea where he was.
"See? There's the tent, Akari!" Hikaru exclaimed loudly, with a hint of relief. There was some mumbling from Akari's part.
"Shh!! They're probably still sleeping!" Akari hissed.
"Whatever," Hikaru said, and marched promptly to the tent. Then he threw open the cover.
"Good morn-and OH FOR GOD'S SAKE, put some pants on, Waya!!!" Hikaru shrieked in surprise as Waya got out of the tent, bleary eyed.
"What's going on?" Myuki's muffled voice asked, as she too, limped out of the tent.
"WHOA! What in the name of a peanut butter sandwich is going on here?" Hikaru cried. Then he looked at Waya, his boxers, and Myuki.
"Whoa, Waya! You didn't tell me about…this…so you were playing hard to get all along?" Hikaru said smirking, wiggling his eyebrows towards Myuki's direction.
"Huh? Hard to get? What are you talk-OH MY GOD! It's not what it seems!" Waya shrieked now, getting the gist of things.
"Sure it isn't…" Hikaru said slyly.
"Yoshi-kun's telling the truth, Shindo-kun. He went to the restroom in the middle of the night, and he fell into a hole. Then, I helped him get out of the hole, and as a result, while we were doing that, his pants were ripped. When we came back, because of his lack of camping experience, his tent was blown away, and we shared my tent." Myuki said in one breath.
"And you expect us to believe all that, Kyshima-san?" Hikaru said, rolling his eyes.
"It's the truth!" Waya whined.
"If you ask me, that's all a little too convenient…" Hikaru commented dryly.
"Shut up, Shindo. This is all just a misunderstanding." Waya growled.
"Says the guy who's not wearing any pants…" Hikaru shot back.
"Are we going to stand around and bicker about why Waya-kun has no pants, or are we going to get to work?" Akari asked impatiently, fed up with the argument.
"Can't, I sprained my ankle last night…" Myuki wailed miserably.
"So we came up here all for nothing?" Hikaru growled. Myuki looked sheepish.
"Hikaru, that's mean of you to say such a thing. Myuki didn't mean for any of this to happen." Akari defended.
"Well we did drive all the way here…" Hikaru muttered.
"Shindo/Shindo-kun/Hikaru just shut up." Waya, Myuki, and Akari all said simultaneously.
