Breakfast was pretty quiet. The pancakes were made as promised, and Jack pulled everyone together to enjoy a nice morning meal. But Mark could still feel the tension in the air. He too was quiet, nervously eating close beside Jack, and he too was keeping himself preoccupied with his food. Mat and Nate seemed the most quiet, eager to get back to their research and eating quickly.

"Thanks Jack." Mat got up and carried his empty dish to the sink.

"Yeah, no problem," Jack said between mouthfuls. The giant headed back to his laptop and resumed researching with his little partner in crime. Jack continued shoveling away as Mark looked over at the two friends. They seemed so much like Yin and Yang, and yet they were inseparable. Just like me and Jack, Mark noted with amusement.

Unfortunately, Jack had decided he wanted more syrup. He was still tired, so when he grabbed it and tried to open it, it fell out of his hand and thumped right beside Mark. It rapidly oozed its sweet contents out, startling Mark as he was washed over with a wave of syrup and let out a girlish yelp.

"Oh my god, Mark!" Mark blinked rapidly as he was fished out of the thick golden liquid. "Shit, I'm so sorry!" Jack tried to pick the bottle back up, but the damage had been done. Mark was covered head to toe in syrup.

" Jack!" The engineer finally exclaimed. "What did you do!?" Felix bit his lip to hold back a snicker and shoved another bite of pancakes in his mouth.

"I'm sorry!" Jack tried to not laugh as he got up and grabbed a towel. Mark was still trying to figure out how to react as he was patted down.

"You threw off my groove!" He finally yelled. Jack snorted.

"Sorry," he giggled. Mark decided to make fun of the situation.

"At least I taste better," he joked.

"Do ya?" Mark screeched when Jack made to move him closer to his lips.

"I was just joking!" He laughed nervously, pushing away. Jack chuckled and tried to get the syrup out of his hair.

"So was I." Mark couldn't help but shiver in relief as the towel rubbed his head. When Jack lifted the towel, Mark's floofy and once soft looking hair stuck up like a thorn bush. Jack burst out cackling.

"Felix, look!" He held Mark up, who looked confused. Felix laughed.

"Fucking hell man, he's not gonna be in one piece by the time rescue actually comes!" He remarked. Mark reached up and touched his hair, and then he gasped dramatically.

"JACK!!" Jack was shaking with bellows of laughter.

"I'm sorry!" Mark covered his ears and laughed alongside him.

"I should have you beheaded for your crimes!"

"Oh really? Well you can kiss my royal ass."

"Nah, don't feel like it."

"Shouldn't you get washed off before that dries, Mark?" Felix interrupted. Mark sighed and looked down at himself.

"Yeah, you're right." He wiped his arm on Jack's fingers.

"Eww!" Jack complained. "Yer makin' me sticky!" Mark didn't bat an eye.

"That's what she said."

"Good grief," Nate sighed from afar. Mat nodded in agreement, smiling.

"Agreed," he chuckled.

"Hey Nate!" Mark called. He held his arms out. "Want a hug?" Nate narrowed his eyes and grinned.
