Closing the trunk and finally getting the last of the stuff out of the trunk, we all start to head upstairs and inside of the elevator. I shivered stepping in due to the floor shaking a bit. I looked over to see Elder Barry eating some chips Elder Mark kept telling him to put down while we were getting our luggage out of the car. He leans over to look at me and pushes it closer to me but I quietly put my hand up, nervously smiling and shaking my head 'No'. Looking further past him I see Elder Mark. He was standing straight like a plank, his thumb rushing across his phone screen. He seemed to be completely unbothered by anything....Even though nothing was happening at the moment. The elevator stopped, and you could tell, feeling the box shake. Elder Barry rolled his stuff off and so did I. Elder mark was still typing and Elder Barry laugh.

"Ha ha...Gonna sleep there Mark? Or are you comin out here with the rest of us?"

" Uh huh...uh huh.."

He clearly wasn't paying attention and we both laughed at him causing him to finally look up.

"Oh, we're here."

He quickly settled himself and walked past us dashing down the hall adding a quiet. "Hurry Up."

"Oh, really?"

Elder Barry followed him and I walked towards the door as well.

"Here's our number."

Elder Mark fumbled in his pockets for the key card and slid it into the spot before glaring at the both of us.

"Now when we get in there....YOU TWO BETTER NOT LEAVE A MESS."

He fixed his glasses before continuing

"I will NOT share a room with a couple of slobs like you two and be content."

I look up at Elder Barry and he shrugs.

"Understand...David?"

I gasped, nodding my head as furiously as possible before looking down. He opened the door and we stepped in. Elder Mark instantly froze before putting his arm out to stop us.

"What is it Elder Mark?"

"This.....can't be...right..."

He sighed and faced us, scratching his head and he looked almost embarrassed.

"So...as you both know...Anime Expo tickets aren't cheap...and it only came with one bed....Uhm... that's all I could afford..."

"I like it Markey Moo, at least it'll be warm."

Elder Barry continued on and went to the edge of the bed where it met the wall and the large window. He put his pillow and cover from home neatly in the corner and threw himself onto the bed eating more of his chips. He kicked his shoes off and Elder Mark Eyeballed him.

"Whaaaaaat? I'll unpack later."

I put my bag on the other side as well, looks like Mark will be in the middle.

"Yeah uhm...me too...is that ok?"

Elder Mark looked at me with a blank face and sighed before shrugging in a 'I dunno man do what you want' kinda vibe.

"I'm gonna go lock my car..."

He shut the door and just like that, it was quiet again. Elder Barry had found the remote and tried to click it. It didn't work so he tried other angles and elevations until it did. But his crumbs fell all over the mattress. He looked at me and waved me off.

"Eh, I'll clean it later. You should go see what Mark is doing."

"Yeah you're right, I just hope he's not smoking."
