Beep! Beep! Beep!

I awoke to probably the worse noise ever created. An alarm. I laid there on the cold hard ground with my eyes still closed, not wanting to get up yet. After a few seconds I heard someone place something by my head and the noise grew louder than before. Finally, I groaned and sat up in defeat. Ignis had placed his phone by my head to wake me up. My back was killing me from sleeping on the ground. In Eos people camp on large flat rocks. Whose idea was it to do that?

Ignis seems to be uncomfortable and frustrated as well. His dirty blonde hair is slightly messy and his eyes look very sleepy. Instead of saying "good morning" he just nods. I nod back. He now moved the phone next to Prompto's head. He tossed and turned but eventually sat up as well. He stretched and then began running his fingers through his blonde hair. It wasn't long until Gladio woke up too. He pulls himself up as if he were doing sit ups. He looks the most annoyed out of all of us, like he wants break Ignis' phone. After a while he broke the silence.

"If only someone hadn't wrecked the car," he scoffs, "Unbelievable," Prompto looks unamused by this comment.

"Oh, I would hate to be that guy," his expression was then replaced by guilt as he slumped his shoulders. He sounded very sad, "Aw, don't be that way. You know I didn't mean to do it."

I rolled my eyes. Prompto had begged Ignis to let him drive and ended up crashing not far from an outpost in Duscae. That's why all of us were so annoyed. We ended up having to call Cindy out here to fix it nearby. Although we did have a bit of money we didn't have enough to pay Cindy, so we had to make camp instead of staying in a hotel.

"Of course not," Ignis responds to Prompto's plea, "Sabotage is far beyond you," Ignis said sarcastically and coldly to shut him up. Prompto made a face like he had said something stupid and risky. I'll admit it was a bit freaky seeing Ignis this upset. We all looked at Noct who was still sound asleep at our feet. Ignis attempted to wake him like he had with the rest of us, but Noct simply turned to his side, facing away from all of us.

"It's futile," Ignis sighed as he shut the alarm off.

Gladio tried to nudge him gently and lightly smacked Noct's face, "Rise and shine, Princess." I was feeling quite annoyed that we had to do this almost every morning. Especially after some of the crap we've had to go through lately.

"Ugh!" I yelled. I lightly pushed Gladio out of my way as I exited the tent, "Move. I'll wake him up myself," I then grabbed Noct's feet and tried to drag him out as best as I could. He quickly kicked my hands and got out on his own. He looked extremely angry and held one hand to his back. The hard ground must have scratched him up.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He yelled. His eyes were still glued shut and he swung at the air trying to hit me. I backed up as the others crawled out laughing hysterical. Even Ignis was enjoying this.

"Well quit being so difficult and I won't have to drag you out of bed!" I yelled back, "next time you'll be waking up soaking wet after I pour ice water on you!"

"Now I would love to see that," Gladio laughed.

"Shut up," Noct said in defeat.

Ignis looked up at the sky, shielding the light of the sun from his eyes with his hand, "Good day for walking," he said in an unusually happy voice. At least it was unusual for him, "Aren't we lucky?" He said looking at me.
