The Lone Moon: First Quarter

The Next morning...

The beautiful sunrise was unfortunately disturbed by a loud snoring noise that emanated from one single tent.

Toby: HUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...ZZZzzzzZZZZzzz....

Amy: WAKE-UP YOU SLEEPY HEAD!!!!

Toby: AGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Amy: COME on, get-up already!

Toby: Aaaahhhh... This...early?

Amy: Of course silly! What d'you think? 8:00 am?

Toby: "Sigh" So you feeling any better?

Amy: Bit by bit sure. My scar's still burning though.. But other than that, I feel great! I think Adelpho's medicine actually worked! 

Since Amy was so energetic, she almost missed the bruises on her brother's face and arm.

Amy: Are you okay Toby?

Toby: Hmm? Yeah... I'm fine.

...

Amy: Was it because of yesterday?

Toby: Oh, you saw all that?

Amy: Well, kind of...

Toby: But, how? You were asleep the entire time.

Amy: I mean not really see but, hear. It was as if I could read all your thoughts. It was pretty neat. I could hear you breathe. I even heard both of your heartbeats. I knew each and everyone's next move.

Toby: So, that means that you could even hear Saluke's?

She nods approvingly.

Amy: BUT... I don't think you'd like to hear them...

Toby: Ha, one things for sure though.

Amy: Oh yeah, what's that?

Toby: He's out for my ass...

Amy: Hahaha! You got that right! Ummmm Toby... can I tell you something?

Toby: Anything.

Amy: I wanted to let you know that while I was "asleep" during your little fight, I kind of read the mind of Al... and based on his thoughts, I- I felt a different side of him altogether. That part of him felt compassion-

Toby: For his brother?

Amy: Hmmm.. well...not exactly. Like me, he too was helpless. It seemed like he just wanted everything to stop but sadly, he couldn't. He tried his best, but apparently his best wasn't enough.

Toby: At least he did something about it. He's a good kid. His older brother on the other hand, not so much. Don't you think he... fancies you a bit?

Amy: WHAT?!?! ME?!?! HA! I DON'T THINK SO! 

Well... at least I don't think so...

With all the fuss happening inside, Sarawano immediately barged into the tent.

Sarawano: RISE and SHINE my friends! Today's a big day! I hope that both of you are well rested, especially you Amy!

Amy: Yeah, of course I am! Oh and thanks for everything yesterday Sir. Ehrm, you didn't need to see any of that... I didn't know what came to me. I felt like I had no control over my body. I'm really sorry...

Sarawano: Hahaha, NONSENSE! No need for any apoligies Amy. Come, let us eat. We have a long day ahead of us.

Toby: Finally, god-damn I'm starving!
