Ralph woke up the next morning, feeling arms wrapped around him, then remembering what happened last night. Ralph smiled, sitting up and giving Jerry a kiss on the cheek before getting out of bed.
He looked around, seeing Kara's mattress empty. Well, Luther was laying there. Everyone else was asleep on their mattresses.
Ralph walked upstairs, rubbing his eyes. He heard humming coming from the kitchen, walking to the kitchen and seeing Kara. Kara stopped humming the song, Ralph could tell it was Kara's theme, and smiled at Ralph.
"Good morning Ralph." She said softly, returning to her work.
"Morning Kara." Ralph replied. "Can i help you with that?" He asked, gesturing to what Kara was making.
"Oh. Theres no need to Ralph. I'm almost done." Kara smiled. "What you could do though, is go wake everyone up in 20ish minutes. They need to be ready if i am going to take them to the place i was talking about last night." Kara said as she flipped over the last pancake, letting it simmer.
Ralph nodded, sitting at the dining table before being asked by Kara to help her set the table. After he did, she put a plate of pancakes in the middle of the table.
"Can you wake everyone up now? Tell them to get dressed and ready. Thank you." Kara said and pulled Ralph into a quick hug before shooing him to the basement.
Ralph chuckled, walking down the basement steps. North was awake, already dressed and browsing on her phone.
"Hey North? Can you help me wake everyone up?" Ralph asked.
North smirked, scaring Ralph, and nodded. "Totally." She then stood up, blasting "All Star" by Smash Mouth.
Everyone groaned, waking up, some stretching and others yawning.
"Thanks North." Ralph grinned. North nodded, walking upstairs. Ralph told everyone they needed to get dressed, and that Kara made pancakes. After everyone was done, Ralph changed and headed upstairs.
Everyone was chattering, stuffing their face with pancakes. Gavin and Markus were humming "All Star" achieving a groan from everyone else. Everyone finished, listening to Kara's instructions about what they were doing and where they were going.
"Alright? Alright. So, you all have a few minutes to chill, then we will be taking the van, a few people will have to sit on the floor though.." Kara chuckled, going to wash the dishes, Luther following after her.
Ralph sat down next to Jerry on the couch, resting his head on Jerry's shoulder. Jerry smiled, wrapping an arm around Ralph and pulling him close.
Ralph browsed around on his phone, before everyone was being called by Kara to go to the van.
Ralph walked over to the car, holding Jerry's hand. He got in, sitting in the back with Jerry, Simon, and North. They were all packed in very tight. Almost like sardines.
Kara started the car once everyone was in, Only one person sitting on the floor.
•••
They arrived at the base of a hiking trail. "Its only a mile or so, but the place we are headed to is so worth it." Kara chuckled, helping everyone out of the car. They started on the trail, beginning to talk about Shrek and other things.
There wasn't anyone else on the trail, for what they could see, so they basically could be all over the path. Ralph could hear Kara and Luther talking about the place where they were headed, shutting it out so he could still have the surprise of the area. Ralph then turned to Jerry, intertwining his hands with his before looked up at him.
"Are Ralph and Jerry together?" Ralph asked.
Jerry grinned. "Would you like to be?"
Ralph blushed, looking down and nodded. "Yes. Ralph would like it very much if he and Jerry are together."
Jerry smiled happily and kissed Ralphs temple before continuing on the path. Kara stopped the group, motioning to a wide field with a gazebo.
"We're here!"
