Phil

"Dan Dan Dan Dan Dan wake up! Look! We're in Australia!!"

"What?" Dan asked groggily, wiping the sleep from his eyes. While Dan was able to sleep on our flight over, I was too excited to be back in Australia, instead spending the time looking out the window, waiting until the endless ocean turned into land.

"Look! Land! We're officially in Australia!"

"Is this another game of eye spy? Because I'm too sleepy to play."

"Come on sleepy head, wake up." I tried jostling his shoulder a little, but when he insisted on staying asleep I knew I had to change my tacit. Leaning closer to him, I placed my head on his shoulder, giving the best pouty face I could. "Pllleeeaaaase wake up and look at Australia with me."

"Too tired. Try again later."

Giving an exaggerated sigh, a new plan came to mind. I shifted my weight slightly, ready to pounce. I pursed my lips and gave a huff, sending a stream of air right onto his neck. Dan flinched and grabbed his neck as if he had been burned.

"What the hell did you just do?"

"I blew on your neck. It worked, too. Now you're up. I hate when you're asleep because I get bored. Do you know how hard it is to play eye spy with yourself? Also, you look adorable when you sleep, it makes me mad."

Dan rolled his eyes and shook his head while muttering something I didn't quite catch, but I let it go; I did just wake him from his nap.

"Anyways, how do you know we're over Australia? It could just be another island like that last time," he teased, pushing me aside playfully. Feigning offense, I clutched my chest and scooted away from him.

"How very dare you Mister. I would like to remind you that I have a Masters Degree."

"Yeah, in film animation, not geography."

"Fair point. But I know it's Australia because it's bigger than that island. Also because the captain came on and said it was."

"You're such a dork."

"Yes, but an upside down dork. The toilets flush the opposite way here!"

"Don't forget about those giant spiders and drop bears."

"To be fair, you were pretty convincing that they were real..."

"Well I mean if you hold a koala, you might drop it, so then it could be true."

"Shut up and look out of the window. I think we might be descending soon, there looks like a big city coming up."

Finally, Dan actually listened to me, leaned over me, and looked out of the window. "Wow, I can't believe we actually survived a 23 hour flight."

"Yeah, plus, once we land, all we'll have to worry about are the spiders and all of the other creepy and dangerous creatures throughout the continent."

"Thanks for making me feel better about that."

Once we landed, we got our things and got out of the airport without any fuss. We headed to our hotel with only one stop for coffee to try to stay awake and fight the jet lag. Once we got the the hotel, the first thing I did was flop onto the bed face first.

"Phil, we need to stay up for a few more hours until dark, remember."

"I know. I'm not napping, just resting."

With that, Dan flopped onto the bed next to me, rolling closer to where I was. "Come on, let's go explore. What if we see a kangaroo or even better, what if we see a Kangaskhan?"

The thought of catching a Kangaskhan was enough to make me roll over onto my side to face Dan. "A Kangaskhan you say?"

"Yeah, let's go see if we can catch one. We could also explore the city and find get some TimTams or something, but I really want a Kangaskhan." He pushed out his lower lip and cuddled closer to me. "Pleeeaaaase Phil, let's go."

Watching him pout was cute, but I definitely didn't want to miss out on catching some Pokemon, so I decided to get off the bed. "Come on, let's Pokemon Go catch a Kangaskan."

Dan threw a pillow at my head. "That is the worst pun I have ever heard, I'm not going anymore, at least not with you."

"Come on, if we don't poke go, we might as well pokestop."

"Why are you like this?" he questioned, getting off the bed and grabbing the room key off the table."

"Because I'm amazing-"

"If you end that sentence with another pun, I'm gonna break your legs. Let's go."

I grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room, knowing that he was just joking because let's be real, who doesn't like bad puns?
