(this takes place like, a day before any of the temples or whatever)

Hazel was silently sitting in her hotel room, nodding along to some music playing in her phone in the background. She was sitting in a chair with her feet propped on a table as she fiddled with a bone she found.

Yes.

A bone.

This is Hazel we're talking about, what do you expect from her?

Anyways...

The ashy brunette hums along to the song, holding the bone up and looking over it with her right eye, since if you've been paying ATTENTION in the past chapters, you'll know she's blind in her left.

Though, her attention is brought to the door leading to her hotel room when a knock resonates through the room. She hums, setting the bone down and pausing her music, standing up.

Running a hand through her hair, she opens the door, only to come face to face with a certain brunette whom she's totally not in love with. "Anna-Banana? It's...nearly midnight. Why are you here?" She inquiries, tilting her head as Anne shrugs and sends her a sheepish smile.

"Couldn't sleep. Mind if I come in?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Thanks dude."

The taller brunette walks into the room after Hazel moves aside, walking to the bed and falling backwards into it. The shorter one raises an eyebrow, but just shuts her door, then sits beside Anne.

It's silent for a couple minutes, before Anne speaks up, looking over at Hazel. "Why are you awake at midnight?" Hazel shrugs, letting herself fall backwards on the bed as well, laying beside Anne and crossing her arms under her head.

"Dunno. Just...thinkin'. Y'know?"

"Yeah. Whatcha thinking about?"

"Just...whats going to happen after we charge these gems. Will Andrias actually send us back?"

"...Dude, come on, think about the good side. Marcy trusts him, right? He has to be a good guy. Plus, he's cool!"

Hazel goes silent, her eyebrows furrowing. She hasn't trusted this newt since she met him, and for good reason. Asesino warned her about him– Apparently they have a history. Or whatever.

And when she mentioned him to Gold, the entity did not seem happy.

So two all powerful entities not liking the same dude?

Doesn't really make him seem trustworthy.

"If you say so." She mumbles, sighing quietly and massaging one of her temples. Her annoyance disapates when Anne snakes an arm under her shoulders however, pulling her against her with a grin.

"Hey, Haze, it'll go alright. Okay? Promise. And once we're home, I'll take ya to see that horror movie you wanted to see so much." The taller girl says, smiling down at Hazel like the ashy brunette is the best thing in the world. Said ashy brunette blinks in surprise, having not expected those words.

How does Anne manage to be so cheesy without being embarrassed?

Though, she can't help but smile subtly, rolling her semi-dark eyes at Anne. "I'm gonna hold you to that. Dork." Anne just giggles at Hazel's words, before propping her chin on her head as Hazel leans her head into the poofy-haired girls neck.

"Go ahead. Cause I swear on frog, I'll be sure to do it! I'll even get my parents to pay for the tickets to the theater–"

A small amused giggle leaves the shorter girl, something she would have never done in the past– But being stuck in another world changes a person, doesn't it? Sometimes for the better...

And sometimes for the worst.

She can only imagine how sucky Sasha got...

Now stuck on the thought of Sasha, Hazel speaks up quietly, one arm moving to drape over Anne. "Hey...question. You never told me the full extent of what happened during your fight with Sasha." Anne's silent for a moment, before sighing.

The brunette then begins explaining everything that happened, staring off into space as she does do. (I'm not typing all that out)

"...Have you seen her since?" Hazel questions after Anne's done speaking, leaning back enough to look up at her. Anne shakes her head, her arm tightening around the shorter girl. "No. I haven't."

She sighs, before reaching up and ruffling the poofy-haired girl's hair – or, attempting to. "Well, I'll help you deal with her if she pops up again." Anne smiles at the ashy brunette, before leaning down to lean her forehead against Hazel's. "Thanks Haze."

"No problem."

The two lay like that in silence for a bit, before Hazel eventually rolls away to sit up, running a hand through her hair with a small sigh. Anne notices this, and sits up as well, tilting her head.

"Haze? You okay?"

The ashy brunette just shrugs, before looking up at Anne. Her expression is blank, but it has a hint of nervousness behind it.

A face she makes when shes overthinking things.

"Anne...why did you decide to befriend me?" Hazel mumbles, as Anne blinks in surprise. She wasn't expecting this, after all. "Where'd this come from...?"

"Just...curious. I mean, I'm not the best person in the world, and just look at me now– I'm blind in an eye with these scars all over my body, I'm way too skinny, I'm rude–" Before the short teenager can continue, she's silenced by a quiet 'oof' sound when Anne tackles her into another hug.

Damn, this girl is clingy today.

"You're not rude. You're amazing, and sure, you have scars, but don't we all? Your scars make you look– Awesome. I tried to befriend you because I could tell under those walls you put up, you were just someone looking for a friend. And, here I am."

Hazel's silent for a few minutes, before burying her face into Anne's shoulder, wrapping her arms around the tan girl's waist. "...Thank you." She mumbles.

Anne smiles, leaning her head against Hazel's. "No problem. I'm your best friend, dude." 'Best friend.' Yeah, sure. Best friend.

Not like Hazel is incredibly head over heels for her.

Valerie and Min helped her realize that.

"..." Hazel doesn't say anything else however, just opting to close her eyes and lean against Anne. The two stay like that, and after a couple hours of them just rambling about random shit, they fall asleep in a tangle of limbs.
