29.

Still awaiting for the arrival of Kalas, Gibari and Savyna, I sit in the logged house in Opu village with Xelha, stuck on what words to say. I fiddle with my feet sitting on the bed, wondering what to do next. At this point, it's really late at night.

"Well Xelha," I say, "I think it's time we hit the can.. It's late."

Xelha looks back at me from the window she's looking out of, "I agree, but did Savyna say it would be okay for all of us to stay here for tonight?" she innocently asks.

"Yeah," I tell her, "You shouldn't worry."

I put my cold feet into bed. This word's beds were similar to ours, but they don't have bed frames on most of their beds. It's still really comfortable, and the candles around her home give the place warmth. Being near the waterfall, the temperature around her is colder than usual. That was probably a reason too why Savyna moved, and the windmill, making so much noise…

So much noise…

"Ah…so toasty warm." I say while snuggling into bed, "Goodnight Xelha."

Xelha walks up to the bed beside me, but just stands over it, and looks down on it, and closes her eyes. "Wood, Mattress, pillow, the three ingredients that make up this solely bed." she continues, "wood, made from the trees here in Anuenue, the soft bark, made so easily to grind and make these for the people on this rainbow nation to sleep soundly, every night."

She continued to talk…

I opened one eye to see her as if she's praying over the bed, I couldn't understand what she was doing, and why she's noting the raw materials to make the bed.

"…Xelha?" I say, annoyed.

She opens her eyes, "Oh, I'm sorry, Elysa." she apologizes, "I've never slept on in Opu before, I do this to all the villages I sleep in for the first time."

You've gotta be kidding me, "Okay, and how long do these little prayers last?"

"It depends," she tells me, "I speak what's on my mind, I also don't really time how long it takes, my deepest apology if I'm causing you not to sleep."

I lay on my back, "It's all right." I close my eyes.

It was hard to drown out her talking, she continued to talk about wood, and how mattresses are manufactured, and I couldn't understand what the hell is wrong with this little girl, I wanted to knock her teeth out at this point, and I wish Savyna's house wasn't only one big room. I slowly start to drift in my sleep, I guess not even Xelha's random rambling all night could keep me up.

"WE'RE HOME!" Gibari crashes through the front door, causing my to flip out and fall out of my bed, hitting my head on the hard floor, slightly missing the carpeted mat.

I don't say ouch, I don't say oww, I have hurt myself too many times to even yell in pain, I just close my eyes and grab my head.

"Oh no!" Kalas runs over to me, "are you all right?" he picks me up from the ground and caresses my skull.

"I'm…fine." I say. I'm just tired of everything, from Xelha's speech about raw materials to hitting my head about 10 times since I got here.

Gibari looks over at Xelha, "Oh no…" he says, "she's never slept in Opu village, has she?" already knowing what she's doing.

Savyna and Kalas both shake their head at the same time. Xelha is still deep in her prayer, over her bed, like she didn't know they even came back.

Oreo hops over to me, "Squeak?"

I open my eyes, and look over to her. Great, now I have a headache. "Hey Oreo, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Savyna walks over to her kitchen table and places a deluxe short cake on the table, "Mayfee and her grandmother made this for us, so if your hungry, come get it." she says, "I'm….kind of tired myself."

"You and I both!" I grunt. "Thank you, Kalas."

"Don't mention it," he says, "I'll get a chunk of ice for your head."

Kalas reaches into his pocket for a Magnus, "I have it in here somewhere." he pulls it out, and the ice turned into water.

"Aw, come on!" he says, "any of you got a 'Chunk of Ice' Magnus?" he asks.

"Nope." Gibari says.

"Negative." Savyna says.

"Cotton from the Caplin's of the Celestial Alps to maintain the strong hold of these pillows that the people of the rainbow nation-," Xelha says.

"Some help you guys are," he says irritated, "Sorry Elysa, just sleep it off."

"Okay, don't worry." I tell him. I look over at Xelha and she's still deep in her prayer, I look back at Kalas and do the finger motion to tell him to come closer. He inches his face closer, then I pull his face down to my level to kiss him. I knew it was a risk, but I knew she wouldn't notice.

Gibari runs to my view to do the motion to 'cut it out', but he's just being cautious. I let go of him and notice Kalas glowing.

"Shit," I whisper, "I…forgot."

Kalas analyses himself, "Great!" he says sarcastically, "look what you did to me… it doesn't look like its going away." he smiles.

"Sorry…" I tell him, "So what, you didn't want to?!"

"No, I didn't mean it like that." he says, as he grabs my hands.

Gibari sneaks behind Kalas and knocks him over the head, as he grunts, flying into the hard ground.

I gasp, "Gibari! Why'd you do that!" I yell.

"Huh?! Wasn't he was blinding your eyes with that irritating glow of his?" He says, "but look, he stopped glowing!"

I hop out of bed and put him onto my bed, fanning him with my hand, and blowing into his face. He was knocked out cold with a bit of droll on the side of his mouth.

"Shit!" I say.

"Relax!" Gibari says, "He's fine, I warned him at Mayfee's place if he glows again I'm popping him on the head." he laughs to himself, "He should have seen it comin'"

"That's not funny!" I cry out.

*Gasps*

We all turn behind us to see Xelha finished her meaningless manufacturing prayer and realized what's been going on.

"Kalas!" she runs up to him, "what happened to him?!" she says while sitting on my bed right up to his head, looking down on him, feeling his forehead.

Gibari and I shrug, and let her freak out. "Oh my goodness and you guys didn't try CPR?" she cries.

Gibari and I look at each other, and give each other that, "Wow." look. "No Xelha, cause we don't think he needs CPR, he's breathing fine if you didn't notice."

"well CPR is how he ended up like that…" Gibari said under his breath.

"What was that?" Xelha said in a questioning voice.

"Huh? Nothing, do what you need to Xelha, I'm off to bed." Gibari walks over to his bed to see Savyna is already passed out. "Ha, she beat me to it."

I look over to Xelha, "He doesn't need CPR, Xelha, you're just being unnecessary."

"Kalas is obviously in pain, I'm going to do what I think is right!" she says. She lays him down on the floor, still not a move from his lifeless looking body.

I start to get heated up, she's using this as an excuse to kiss him, it's probably her breaking point, trying to be more 'assertive'.

Gibari turns around before laying into bed, "Oh man, don't tell me your-"

She goes in for the kill and smacks lips with Kalas, and it's the longest 'Breath' I've seen done during CPR.

I look over to Gibari and see him hunched over, dying in laugher, taking deep breathes as his face turns red. He's leaning against the wall for support, oh how I wish I could laugh right now, my face looks like I'm going in for a mug shot.

I look, and she hasn't pumped his chest, she's still on his lips, "Uhh, miss nurse?" I say, "I don't think that's how you do CPR."

Xelha stays locked lips with Kalas' knocked out body. Seeing how she used this as an excuse to kiss him, I started to get fed up, seeing her kiss someone I love so dearly.

"Quit it!" I yell. I walk over to her and kick her in the stomach, forcing her off of him, "I'm sorry, but doing that isn't going to bring him back from consciousness, so you can quit the fake act, Xelha." I tell her, realizing what I just did.

"That…isn't CPR?" Xelha says sitting up on the floor, "I…didn't know." she says blushing.

I start growling and pointing my fist at her, then we all look down at Kalas, as he awakes from unconsciousness.

"Kalas, you're awake!" Xelha says excited.

"You're awake?" I say, shocked.

"It worked?" Gibari says, then starts laughing harder, causing him to fall onto the bed, holding his stomach.

Kalas gains consciousness, shaking his head and getting up off the floor, "Thanks a lot, you Hogwash." Kalas says rubbing his head and pointing to Gibari, "I saw my life flash before my eyes when you knocked me over my skull!"

I push my hair out of my face, "It seems he doesn't know what happened." I say, then start laughing to myself.

"What's so funny?" Kalas questions, "W-What happened?!"

Xelha walks towards her bed, "Nothing, you should get some sleep, Kalas." she says in her 'cutesy' voice.

Kalas runs over to me, "What the hell happened!" he begs me to tell him.

"Dude, you and Xelha locked lips." Gibari bursts bubbles.

Kalas stood with a blank face, and turned to Xelha who was already in her bed covered up, facing the opposite direction, then looked back at me. I found it funny, but Xelha pissed me off, but it was a good opportunity to get a smooch.

"Excuse me.." Kalas walks out the tree house calmly, then closes the door. Gibari and I look at each other and shrug.

I sigh, "Well, might as well go to-"

"BLAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" a voice yelled from outside, causing us to get startled.

"Yo," Gibari says looking out the window, "It's Kalas." he says laughing at him through the window.

I laugh hard, that was actually the laugh of the night; Poor Kalas.. But at least Xelha is happy…
