"Wakey, wakey Sleeping Beauty!" Earth shouted, opening the curtains in his room for the strong morning sun to slap Neo right in the face. 

"Shut up! Five more minutes." Neo mumbled, putting the blanket over his head.

"Careful how you talk to me. I let you sleep in my bed. You owe me." Earth said, grabbing the blanket and pulling it off of Neo's barely woken up body.

"Earth?"

"No, Santa Claus. Now get up, or you won't get any presents this year."

"I don't need to. This is technically Mix's bed, not yours, so I don't owe you anything." Neo said, rolling all over the bed to find a better sleeping position.

"Mix's bed, my bed, the same thing," Earth shrugged his shoulder.

Neo opened one eye and looked at Earth suspiciously. He was about to ask something, but Mix came to the room holding water and some painkiller.

"Here, take this, and I'm waiting for you in the kitchen. You have five minutes." Mix said and walked away.

Neo looked at Earth, fully woken up by Mix's strict attitude.

"Seems like someone is in trouble," Earth said and walked away, whistling to some random tune.

.....

In the kitchen, Earth was just feeding Edin delicious cat food when Neo carefully approached what was for him dangerous zone of the kitchen.

"Sit down and eat something." Mix said, pointing at toasts and fruits that were prepared on the kitchen bar.

Neo looked at Mix, then at the food, and then back at Mix.

"Eat. It will help you to get over hangover sooner."

Neo took the first bite of the toast, and Mix started speaking again.

"Good. Now, let's have a small chat, shall we?" Mix sat right across Neo on the other side of the kitchen bar.

Earth patted Edin's head one last time and went to lean on a kitchen counter behind Mix, curious where is this conversation going.

Neo swallowed the piece of toast and nodded his head with a healthy dose of respect towards his boss.

"So, care to explain what happened last night?" Mix asked.

"We made a bet."

"I know that much already, but what was that bet about?"

"Ehmm, basically, who will successfully steal Kit's car will get two drinks from everyone in the gang. And I won." Neo said, avoiding any eye contact.
