"Row, row, row your boat~ La la la la la~ Gently down the stream~" Kouta and Alice are both singing atop the Humvee. Everyone else, with the exceptions of Saya and Shizuka, is asleep inside.
"Row, row, row your boat~" Alice begins to sing again. "Alice can sing it in English, too," she says. It is due to her age that no one really pays mind to the fact that she sometimes refers to herself in the third person.
"Wow, let's hear it, then!" says Kouta.
"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream~ Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream~" Alice sings in perfect English.
"Okay, now it's time to switch lyrics," says Kouta.
"Okay!" says Alice.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot your gun, kill them all right now~ Bang, bang, bang, bang, life is but a scream~"
Alice laughs at the rather crude version of the song. "Kouta-chan, you're so funny!"
Saya, hearing this, sticks her head out of the hole in the roof. "You fat geek!" she says to Kouta, glaring at him. "Don't go teaching inappropriate songs to little kids!"
Kouta smiles sheepishly at her, whereas Alice just looks confused.
There has been a certain feeling of joy in the air ever since the night before. None of them can explain it - maybe it's the fact that they successfully saved Alice and made it away from the apartment with all their supplies intact, but none of them are sure - but they have all been able to sleep easier than they have any other night. Even the ones who have little trouble sleeping found it easier. The fact that they have successfully managed to drive most of the way across the river is also a factor.
"Everyone, wake up!" Shizuka calls to Takashi, Rei, Jin and Saeko, who are still asleep in the back of the Humvee. "We're almost to the other side!"
Rei wakes up almost immediately. She sits up, rubs her eyes, and then sees something that has her smirking wider than she has in a while. She shakes Takashi awake, making him groan in annoyance.
"What?" Takashi asks, groaning.
"Do you think Jin's enjoying himself?" Rei asks him, nodding at the two sleeping figures beside them.
"What do you ... mean ...?" Takashi asks, but then he sees what she is looking at, and a smirk of his own grows across his face.
Jin was fast asleep, as one would expect, his head resting on the back of his seat, breathing softly. The real eye catcher is that Saeko is asleep on him. Apparently at some point in the night, she had shifted in her sleep, and now she is lying with her head on Jin's crotch, drooling. It looks hilariously suggestive to Takashi and Rei.
While they find the position the two are in hilarious, they are glad to see Jin and Saeko getting along. Everyone has noticed the negativity Saeko treats the boxer with, and they have also noticed how beaten up he seems to be about it. It doesn't exactly take a genius to see what is going on there (and even if it did, they have a genius to tell them). But since the apartment, the two of them have been getting along well, exceptionally well, considering the antagonistic relationship they had before. And so this scene isn't just hilarious; it is actually kind of adorable.
