Night Fall

When we caught up with the rest of the gang, we noticed that they were all getting ready to rest.

"Ugh!" Amaila moaned, "why do we have to sleep on the ground? Why couldn't we have just stayed another night at that town?" Yup, that's our Amalia for you.

"Well," Eva began, "if you'd like to turn back and start going to that sweet town in the dark, be my guest princess."

"No way!" Amailia yelled, "I'm not going back alone in the dark! That's way too dangerous!" The girl seemed very irritated as she looked at Eva.

Ignoring the two bickering girls, I glanced around the small the area to see where everyone else was. Aster was somehow already asleep in the ground laying next to Grovy. Grove {Dally} looked at Aster with a small smile before he tried to get comfortable and Ruel was laying down next to Yugo who was on the other side of Aster.

"Be quiet girls." Ruel mumbled half asleep, "some of us are actually trying to sleep."

"There's no way I can sleep on the dirt old man! Do you know how many bugs crawl around here?!" Amalia complained as Astred crawled near Aster to sleep for the night.

"Look princess, it's your fault we're in this situation together anyway!" Eva snapped, "if you didn't run away from your brother you'd still be sleeping comfortably in your palace!"

"You know that wasn't my fault! I had a prophecy!" Amalia responded defensively.

"Yeah! A fake one!" Eva retorted.

I looked at them and sighed loudly, "look Amalia, it's either stay awake all night, or get some rest and build up your strength." I told her being bold.

"What makes you think you can talk to a princess like that?" Amalia snapped at me.

I released a small breath of air before responding, "because around me, you're not a princess... You're a friend and I care about whether or not you're getting enough sleep in not."

I noticed her open her mouth and she looked extremely angry for a second before she said, "fine. I'll sleep on the ground, but you owe me big time!" She then laid down near Eva and tried to rest. I went down beside Amalia and Eva laid on the other side of her. Eventually we all fell into the darkness of sleep...

The next morning we all awoke and began heading toward Bonta. Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that while we were at Xav's house, his father told us that the map was a Shushu and threatened him to tell us the way to Oma. Anyway, he told us that we had to go to Bonta to get to Oma, so that's where we're going now. On our way I noticed Aster grab a leaf from a tree, then he waved it in front of Dally and said, "you better leaf me alone!" Him and Grovy began laughing really hard. Eva rolled her eyes and Amalia walked up to Aster, "and you better leaf the forest alone you jerk! Imagine how that poor tree feels now!" She basically stole his pun and put it in her rage, knowing she meant every word of what she said. "Sorry Amalia." Aster said looking down a little. I chuckled at the two and continued to walk. Yugo was leading with the map showing us the correct way to go this time.

After about three hours or more of walking, we all decided to rest up a little. The city of Bonta wasn't far now, but we all really needed some rest. "No one is hurt right?" Aster asked, "Astred and I can help you if you'd like." He offered as Astred nodded kindly. She didn't speak much, but I kinda liked that about her. She seemed peaceful. "We'll tell you if we need you." Eva said with a kind smile before she layed down. Everyone agreeed with her and it didn't take them long to fall asleep. Soon I was the only one left awake. For some reason I couldn't sleep. It felt too wasteful of time. I just lied there figiting waiting for someone to wake up.

About another hour passed before I woke everyone up. I couldn't take it any more! We were so close to our destination, I couldn't let them continue to waste their time! "You okay Kaido?" Eva asked with her sleepy eyes and everyone else sat up. "We need to go," I said trying to sound calm, "you've been sleeping for an hour." Everyone stood up, "she's right, the sooner we reach our destination, the sooner we can be hero's again!" Dally yelled with enthusiasm. I nodded and we all began walking again. No one really talked much on the way there this time, it was kind of strange.

It took us roughly fourty-five minutes to make it there. The city was huge and there were people of different race everywhere. My eyes widened looking around and I felt a little over whelmed. "Oh wow!" Aster yelled, "this place looks amazing! So many people to play pranks on!" Astred hide behind me snuggling close up to me, I wonder why she likes me more... Eva then walked next to Aster, "do not play any pranks on people! You'll get us all in trouble!" She railed him sternly, although she makes a good point. We're not from here and we don't know any of the rules here, or how this place even works. We don't want to draw too much attention to ourselves either, but that's bound to happen...
