Mark got up, he walked to his bed and switched his phone on. His IPhone made a loud buzz and the lock screen of Felix and his pugs came on, he unlocked his phone and saw that he had 9 texts from Bob and 12 missed calls from Jack. Mark was utterly confused, he only had his phone switched off for what he thought was only four hours. Mark looked at the time, it read 12:35 pm. Marks jaw dropped, the convention started at 12:30, him and Felix were supposed to be doing the first act. Mark quickly rang Bob and Jack in a group skype call, they answered immediately. Bob angrily asked "Mark where are you? The show started five minutes ago, the fans... they're growing restless." Mark rubbed his eye, he knew he had screwed up, Mark remained silent and looked down in shame. Jack abruptly shouted down the phone. "Mark! Are ya still in bed, where the bloody hell are ya? You still in your hotel eh? You better get down here in the next ten minutes otherwise, I'll bloody kill ya!" Mark responded quickly and said calmly. "Look fellas, I overslept, I'm sorry. I will get ready now, and me and Felix will rush down there. You start your act first, that will give us at least twenty minutes." Jack and Bob both nodded and said "Ok, see ya." and ended the call. Mark calmly walked over to the bathroom and knocked, he said "Felix, we have a small problem, please can you come out as soon as possible so we can talk." Mark walked over to the bed and sat down on it, thirty seconds later Felix opened the door and sat on the bed facing opposite to Mark. Mark calmly said "We may have forgotten to set the alarm clock, so we are running late." Felix bit his lip, he knew it was his fault. Mark continued "Well its currently 12:37pm, and the show was supposed to start at 12:30pm. No need to panic though, Bob and Jack have started their act without us which gives us about twenty minutes." Felix responded "Oh no,  we woke up late. Right twenty minutes I can think I can do that. Mark how long do you take in the shower?" Mark raised his eyebrow and said "At my fastest 10 minutes... Why?" Felix awkwardly replied "Same. Well we both haven't showered yet and we need to do that, the only problem is that if we both shower separate we won't make it in time." Mark went pale, he knew what Felix was suggesting. "So what you are saying is that we should shower together to be faster?" Mark asked suspiciously. Felix nodded. Mark sighed, he didn't know how to respond. He lifted his head up and said "Ok. Lets do this, we only have eighteen minutes but if we hurry we can get there before 12:55." Mark stood up and grabbed Marks hand, he ran to the bathroom and switched the shower head on. They both quickly stripped off naked and jumped in the shower, Mark washed Felix's hair for him. They managed to do this in 5 minutes. They now only had 13 minutes left. They quickly got dressed and Felix styled Marks hair for him, they both ran out the door. Mark grabbed his phone and they ran out the hotel and into the main street. Mark said to Felix "Stay here, I'll hail us a cab." Felix responded "No, the traffic is bad,we will run." Felix grabbed Marks hand and started running down the street. Luckily the convention was only around the corner, They both ran for their lives while holding each others hand.

They had twenty minutes or nothing.
