The Honey Moon

{7weeks}

The night sky is just filling with stars as Jake yawns and feels his contentment activity.
The air is cool and sweet as the sound of distant celebrations beginning joins the evening desert sounds.

The top less eight man tent is nearly covered with frustrated mosquitoes as Hera's glow slowly becomes their only light source.

Jake offers, "Want me to spray off the bugs again?"

He starts to sit up, but she gently keeps his head in her lap and returns to stroking his head, "Don't bother.
"They can't get me.
"The tent was a perfect idea."

Jake smiles up at her, "Next time, I'll listen to Jazapie and bring a gallon of citronella."

She smiles as she holds back her laugh, "It's not worth it on any other night.
"Their just too ridiculous for a pregnant fryker."

Jake relaxes and closes his eyes, "Tell me again why this moon is so special."

"Done told you fourteen times already."

He admits, "I love your sound of it and all it means."

"Very well, for you, My Dear.

"The first full moon that rises after the YetI High Priest chooses death, is call the Honey Moon.
"All who go out to greet the Honey Moon, will be blessed by the echo of his wisdom.
"Any pregnancy blessed by their father in the light of the Honey Moon, will have right to one viewing of the new YetI High Priest and will be rich of their father's love all the days of their living."

Jake sighs, "It's such a happy tradition.
"I'm not sure which part I'm most excited about."

Hera rolls her eyes, "Think your still celebrating your victory of conception.
"You do know projectile ejaculation is an unfair advange."

Jake laughs, "You've been saying that for a month now.
"No one made you swallow."

She smacks his head as he laughs, "Don't be crude, we're not as alone as we seem."

Jake stills his laughter as he sits up, "Mosquitoes are so thick, a yeti could be standing right there and we'd not see him."

He gets the bug off spray and paints the mesh with it again as Hera wonders, "Are there any ghosts out here?"

Jake keeps working as he feels for any presence.
He doesn't want to alarm her, so he downplays the volume, "Full moon is coming so dimensional divide is really thin.
"There's some, but they fear your glow, so no worries."

She admits, "Liar.
"I normally would not care, but they are known for attacking pregnant frykers."

Jake shakes the tent to get the last few stubborn bugs off, "We've enough Spirit-Warriors surrounding us... they won't challenge me.

"Plus, who knows how many YetI are out for the Honey Moon.
"You said, they will protect anyone with child."

Hera sighs, "I just hope they see Aleister."

Jake sits back down with her, "Hey, this is my one for sure camp out with you.
"You agreed, no work."

She nods once and slides close to him, "Yes, I did.
"It's just so hard."

Jake cuddles her close, "I know, but they got this."

Hera sighs and watches the sky with Jake.

...

Aleister fidgets with the beads of her native top and complains, "I look like a dude in a dress."

Cherry giggles, "With boobs, but no beard."
