I slowly woke up laying on Saud while he was humming. He looked down at me and smiled.

"Good morning sleeping beauty."

"Shut up." I said groaning.

"Come on, we've been in this tree too long. And I'm hungry."

He started to get up and so did I. 

"So what was that song called that you were humming?"

He looked at me thinking while putting on his shoes.

"I don't remember. I guess someone sang it to me when I was little."

I nodded and looked at him remembering the nightmare.

He was about to go down the ladder but he looked at me and stopped.

"Are you coming?"

"Aren't you going to say something?"

He looked at me confused. "I thought I said good morning."

"No. The other thing you always say"

"I'm going to take Moose out?"

"No. You didn't ask me if I was okay." I said softly.

"Oh, sorry. I'm just really hungry. I was waiting for you to wake up a long time ago. I didn't want you to wake up and me not be there."

I looked at him as soon as he said that.

"I promise we can talk about it at the house."

I nodded but still sat there.

"So, are you coming?" 

"Sure, if you do one thing for me." I said smiling.

He smiled. "What's that?"

"This is not what I had in mind." He said annoyed.

"Well, you agreed to it." I said jumping on his back.

"Careful." 

He started walking towards the house with me on his back.

"Didn't you say you weren't going to carry me?" I said smiling.

"I don't even want to talk about it."

When we got to the house he dropped me to my feet and we both went in. 

"I get the first shower!" I said raising my hand.

"No, no It's my turn to have the first shower. You took one first last time."

"What? I didn't take a shower."

He looked at me surprised.

"If you took that long changing, I'm not about to wait and find out how long it takes you to use the shower."

"Okay, go ahead I'll be waiting."

He nodded and went upstairs.

I looked at Moose who was laying on the floor and patted him on the head. I looked around remembering I haven't fully explored the house. 

I went into the kitchen to see if anything was interesting in there. There wasn't. The only thing was the card, but I already know what that is about. 

I went back into the living room to see if there were any pictures or something. There wasn't. I sat on the couch in defeat looking at Moose who hasn't moved. I went upstairs to go into the bedroom and write down my nightmare. 

When I came upstairs I could hear the shower running and I laughed under my breath for some reason. I went into the closet and opened my suitcase and found my journal. I opened it and started to write in it.  After a while, I heard the shower stop. And I decided to pick my clothes out since I'm in the closet. Which reminded me that I need to put them away from my suitcase. I put my journal on one of the empty shelves and started folding the clothes and putting them on the shelves. I heard the bathroom door open and footsteps behind me.
