As the dawn set in, early morning rays began streaming between the curtains to land on your face, prompting you to cover your eyes in discomfort. Coming to your senses, you notice a certain warm body was missing from your grasp, setting off a fight or flight response as you abruptly sat up from the mattress. Scanning the room, you found no trace of her, dispatching your head back onto the pillowed fortress. You groan, "She probably went back to her room to get ready"

You stand up from the bed with a stretch causing you to grunt, "Probably not a bad idea" you thought while unplugging your phone, turning it on to display the time.

You groan again while grasping your shorts, "My muscles are killing me" you thought as you stretched them out in an attempt to null the pain, once satisfied you began to get dressed.

In the time it took you to slip into your clothes, you heard the bedroom door slowly creek open mirroring last night's events, "Oh, you're awake" Loona spoke with surprise.

"You sound disappointed" you reply.

"Maybe a little", She remarked before stepping inside to push the hinges closed, "I was going to wake you up"

You continue to dress, watching through the mirror as she took up a spot on a nearby wall, "Where were you anyway?"

"I left my clothes in my room, so I had to sneak back over while nobody was around" she noted.

"Smart" You smile, moving away from the dresser to place your hands on her waist, "Although, I'm a little upset you weren't next to me when I woke up" you whisper jokingly

She gazed into your eyes for a moment, "Hmm, you know I'll make up for it" She smiled before placing her muzzle to yours, you gently drew her closer before pulling away steadily.

"Mmm, I guess I can forgive you" You grin before a knock on the door forced you both to abruptly detach.

Rapidly, you open the door and slip out to find Blitzø waiting for you, "Hey Eli, we're leaving for this festival soon, but Lin's insisting on making us some breakfast first so come down if you want something"

"Alright, I'll be down before long" You agree, gladly taking on the offer.

"Well, I'm gonna wake Loonie up and tell her-"

"No," you argue a bit too quickly, causing Blitzø to look back at you with a raised eyebrow, "I mean I'll tell her, she wanted to speak to me anyway" you continued, nervously trying to play it off.

His dazed expression remained but he eventually assented, "Okay? Well while you are there, can you try and convince her to come with us, she seems hellbent on not going"

"I'll try my best, but no promises"

You waited as Blitzø disappeared down the stairs before abruptly re-entering the bedroom, "Holy shit that was close" you utter with a sigh.

"Blitzø?" She asked rhetorically.

"Yeah, he said you weren't up for coming with us?"

Her face immediately dropped at the question, "It just seems like a bunch of rednecks running around beating the shit out of each other and-" She paused for a second, noticing the disbelief in your eyes before crossing her arms and exhaling, "Look, I just need a break from Blitzø, he's been riding my ass about everything lately"

You gently bite down on your tongue in thought, "It shouldn't be too bad, Blitzø will be competing all day, so he won't have time to annoy you, and if the festival is shit, then we can always come back to the farm"

She hesitated before agreeing, "Okay, but only because you're coming with me"

Satisfied, you scooped up your aviators and pivoted back to the door signalling for her to follow before exiting the room. The landing was filled with a sickly sweet smell, "Something smells good" Loona noted.
