Midnight is near, Danny and John decided to find a place to sleep quickly before midnight. 

"John, so where are we going to find a place for the night." Danny asked,

"Um i don't know, wait."

John opened his phone to find the nearest camp ground. John frowned, since they're was no camp ground. But they're was a gas station nearby .

"There is no camp grounds but there's a gas station." John replied,

"Oh ok, we could also buy some snacks."

Danny and John quickly cycled to the gas station even faster, before midnight comes. Danny and John didn't like cycling in the night, its nothing like your normal night where you still have your lights in your home, it will be pitch black and theres a possibility that a car will crash you, and holding a flash light while cycling was a pain in the ass for Danny and john. 

Midnight had reached and there was the bright shining moon on the sky

Midnight had reached and there was the bright shining moon on the sky. Finally, Danny and John had reached the gas station. The gas station was not so big, it had a decent size for a gas station. It was odd that there was no cars in the gas station. The has station was named Valero, it had the Valero logo on top of the Gas Station. The colour of the Gas station was mostly blue or grey. Danny and John wandered around the gas station for awhile and was confused why there are no people in the gas station. After that, Danny and John realised how stupid they were and that the gas station was closed. There was also note left on one of the walls of the gas station stating that it was closed because the gas was finished.

"John, does that mean that the store is closed too?"

"Oh ya!"

Danny and John quickly sprinted to the store, the lights was closed and the door was locked, it also had a sign stating that it was closed.

"Fu#k" John frowned 

"So, what should we do now?"

"Lets find a place to camp."

Danny and John decided to camp just right beside the gas station, since the lights in the gas station was still on. They both started to started to set up both of they're tents on the side of the road near the gas station, it took about 4 minutes. 

Finally they both finished setting up both of they're different tents. Danny and John was too tired to do anything else that they forgot to eat dinner. Danny took his mattress out of his luggage and lazily threw eat on the floor of his tent. After that Danny and John quickly went to sleep.

Danny had a bad dream and woke up at the middle of the night, Danny took a sip from his water bottle beside him and tried to sleep on his not so cozy mattress again. Danny couldn't sleep,

"Fu#kin hell." Danny said quietly to himself while being frustrated, Danny tried to go back to sleep again, this time he slept on hide side. It didn't work, Danny still couldn't get back to sleep. Danny got up and turned on his flash light beside him since he could barely see anything. Danny took his phone to check the time, it was 1 o clock in the morning.

"John, you awake?" Danny questioned,

"Yeah, i cant fu#king sleep." John replied in a very sore voice.

"Want to come to my tent?" Danny persuaded,

"Yeah sure."

John brought 2 instant noodles to Danny's tent and sat down,

"Wanna eat?" Danny invited,

"Yeah."

"Lets start cooking." John said,

John took out his cheap portable heater that was probably made in China out of his bag and tried to turn it on. John presses the on button, nothing happened, John tried to press it again but it still didn't work. 

"I think its broken." Danny said,

"Yeah."

"Where did you buy it?" Danny questioned,

"Online, it was only $10." John answered.

John took out out 2 flameless ration heaters (a plastic like bag which heats up when little watered is poured, it is used to heat food) out of his bag. 

"Wow, where did you buy them?" Danny asked,

"Wow, where did you buy them?" Danny asked,

"Oh, I bought a packet of them online." 

Danny and John cooked both of their meals, John and Danny put their instant noodles inside the flameless ration heaters (FRE) and pour some water. A few minutes later they both put the powders into the FRE and mixed, after that Danny and John put their finished meals in different plastic bags Danny found in the market to eat.

Danny and John ate the ramen beside each other, and both of them were satisfied. They both threw their trash in Johns "Go green plastic bag". After that, John went back to his tent with his satisfied tummy, Danny also went back to a good sleep comfortably.
