DAY 364, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER

S: What if they aren't awake?

K: You were awake.

S: No I wasn't, I'm a light sleeper.

K: I'm pretty sure R is as well.

S: Only pretty sure?

K: Maybe their sleeping habits changed over the last year.

S: We'll see soon enough.

K: And if they don't wake up, I'm sorry for dragging you out of bed, making you sneak out of your house and get on your bike with me at 3 AM. On a Wednesday.

S: Don't forget it's cold.

K: Yeah, sorry about that too.

S: It's fine. I don't think I've ever been outside at this hour.

K: Never?

S: Don't sound so judgmental, not everyone goes out 'til morning every weekend.

K: It's weird to think those people exist..

S: But I'm here!

K: You are. Why did you come along if you never do stuff like this?

S: Because I never do things like this. There's a first time for everything.

K: That's true.

S: Also, I don't like you guys fighting. This is a nice idea.

K: Thanks.

S: Not sure how they'll feel about you, us I guess, waking them up in the middle of the night.

K: We'll see soon enough, won't we?

S: We will. How's the calling going?

K: R isn't picking up.

S: Makes sense. That's their window, right?

K: Yeah. Completely dark.

S: We could throw pebbles at it.

K: Like a romcom?

S: Exactly. They like movies. It would make the middle-of-the-night thing a little less bad.

K: I guess so. But we're not really doing that.

S: Not?

K: No. So- S, I see you doing that.

S: Doing what? I have absolutely no idea what you're talking abut.

K: You're telling me you did not just walk to the driveway to pick up pebbles?

S: Nope. I'm definitely not about to throw them.

K: You can't do that.

S: Watch me.

K: Oh my- you actually did it? Are you crazy? If you didn't miss the window you might have broken it!

S: I have another one. Try two. Here we go.

K: Don't-

S: Damn it. Another miss. Third time's the charm.

K: I don't think this is the way to do it.

S: Why? I haven't hit the target yet. Maybe it works then.

K: Maybe, just... angle it a little higher.

S: Like this?

K: Yeah, now throw it. Not with too much power.

S: Here we go.

K: Nice!

S: I actually hit it. Take that old gym teacher!
