*CC's point of view*
We woke to the sound of muffled crying a few bunks along , I looked out and noticed nobody was out of bed yet. Suddenly I remembered the events of the previous night , I jumped out of my bunk and jogged along to Luna. She must be terrified.
'Hey sweetie are you okay?, I asked as I pulled back the curtains on her bunk to see her. She was in her bunk , wrapped in blankets with a toy bear , her face berried in the pillow.
'Oh , um , hey. Sorry for bothering you i really should be going now. Thank you fo-', I cut her off before she could continue speaking. 'Hun you diddnt bother me I promise , you should probably stay here for a bit , I mean , it's better than sleeping rough eh?'. She looked at Me with the most teary and lonely eyes I think I'd ever seen. Almost immediately I requested that we went to the lounge area , to watch some morning cartoons and pig out on cereal. She joined me as we made our way down the bus stairs and sat on the sofa , flicking through the channels.
She was crying a little bit , the odd tear would fall now and again as we watched adventure time.
'Luna , everything is about to change', I mentioned , as I reached out and held her hand , to show her I care. 'Life can't keep throwing lemons , one day it'll run out of them , and instead it'll throw things like limited edition chocolate cereal'. I walked off to the kitchen and started making the cereal. With this she seemed to giggle , as I hummed along the Peppa pig theme tune.
After we had eaten our cereal, and had seconds , I went upstairs and told her to wait there a second. I grabbed a new towel , special shampoo that a fan had given us (mistakingly giving us female shampoo) , and body wash. I went back down the narrow bus stairs and gave them to her.
'Here , you can have these , would you like a shower? Sleeping rough can't be the cleanest of all thi-' she interrupted me before I could
carry on ,'CC thank you so much!' And she gave me a huge bear hug.

'Uh guys , I forgot my clothes , I'm in the shower , please can someone hand them to me through the door?' , I guess it was Luna . I went to get her clothes for her but when i saw them I noticed how mucky they were , mud , general dirt ect.
I went to my drawers and got out a large baseball tee and a pair of boxers. This should fit her okay , after all , we're not going out anywhere today. I walked over to the bathroom and knocked lightly , she opened it carefully and put her arm through the door. I looked away and passed the clothes over. She then quickly shut the door .
'Uh , these aren't my clo-'
'Sweetheart you can keep these , you need them at the moment. We're not going out anywhere today and they're comfortable'. I replied.
'Thank you , I really appreciate it', she partly yelled through the door. I giggled as I heard her innocence in her voice , she needs us now more than ever.
