So, with that, they were preparing their "sleepover" areas, which both involved a blanket fort, and a lot of pillows. Dave was about to sneak into some of the others' rooms to see if they had pillows, but then remembered that they were trolls, and didn't sleep in beds. He could have gone into Rose's room and stole her pillows, but he didn't want to disturb her slumber. Waking her up prematurely was like releasing the kraken, especially considering how drunk she was. Dave wanted to still be alive by the end of the "sleepover", so he just had to do with what he had.
Jade, however, had a different situation. They had a couch on the ship, which meant she could use as many couch cushions as she wanted. It was the same way with the blankets. As she returned, her face blocked by all the fort supplies, Dave jokingly said,
"Wow Jade, way to show off." He let out a small scoff afterwards, but then chuckled.
"Jealous Dave?" Jade fired back, a small giggle following. She wasn't stupid, she knew that Dave was just kidding around.
"Extremely." Dave replied with a smirk, which Jade could see when she dropped the couch cushions.
"Don't think I don't see that smirk." Jade snickered as she started to set up what she would later call "The Fortress of Jade-itude". Just moments later, it was done. Admittedly enough, it was pretty good, it was like a little cave for her. She was surrounded on three sides by large couch cushions, and on top was a blanket that also doubled as the door. She finally got snuggled in, and she looked at Dave with a wide grin. "So, now that we have our forts set up, what should we do first?" Jade asked him, wanting to give him a chance to redeem himself for not being able to make a fort like hers.
"Hmm..." Dave thought for a minute. 'Think, Strider. Okay, maybe not movies. Knowing John, she has probably had enough movies for the rest of her life. Shit. Uh, what else could we do? Wait, do you finally have an idea? Do you finally have the plan to save this da-" His thoughts were interrupted by Jade, who was laughing quite a bit.
"Hello! Ship to Dave!" It seems that he had been staring off into space as he was thinking. Even with his sunglasses on, Jade could tell when he was off in "Mr. 'Coolkid' Ironic Dave Strider Land", or that's what she called the depths of his mind. Really though, she just did it to flatter him.
"Huh, what?!" Dave snapped back to reality from his mental soliloquy. "Oh, yeah. Uh, maybe...maybe we could play twenty questions?" Sure, it could possibly be considered a "lame idea", but why not? It was better than doing nothing!
"Alright! Let's do it!" Jade's ears twitched excitedly at this idea. She was hoping he wouldn't choose to watch a movie. Dave's assumptions were right, she had seen enough movies for a long while.
(AN: OKAY! So, sorry about the long wait on this chapter, I was having writer's block. I apologize if I'm stretching this out too much, I haven't wrote a fic in quite a while. So, just tell me if I am stretching it out too much, and I'll see what I can do! Anyway, the next chapter will be Twenty Questions with Jade and Dave! Thank you for all of the support you guys have given me with this fic! I really appreciate it and keep it coming!)
