It is now night time and the twins are on lookout. I hope they don't fall asleep since we have no shelter. For lunch and dinner, Lilly and I had our granola bars since our arrival was obviously a last second thing anyways. Me and Fox did have a tiny fight because we could have a car right now but Harry came to the rescue explaining to him why we couldn't take it. Harry, Kay, and I have been having tiny conversations here and there. Lilly, Aero, Kip and Chip were having fun talking to each other. Fox and Dagmar just kept each other entertained, which I find odd because of the age difference. Lyra just keeps to herself a lot.

Everyone has sleeping bags except for Lilly and I which is fine. We're used to laying outside on the grass. I just wish we had bug spray but to be honest that's least of our worries. We had to keep our bag with the other bags which worries me a little. What if someone steals all of them? I just can't get to sleep. Harry seems like he can't either.

He walks over to me and motions me to get up. I look over to Lilly and everyone else sleeping. I get up and follow him to wherever.

We find Kip and Chip and Harry tells them to head to bed. They don't hesitate to give up their positions. Harry and I walk around camps perimeter in silence.

"What if Fox finds out?" I break the silence with a whisper.

"He won't care." I nod and he asks me a question. "Why couldn't you sleep?" I just shrug not really knowing why. "New people?"

"I guess so." I look down. "Why can't you?" I return the question.

"I really don't think Kip and Chip can stay up this long." He laughs and I laugh along.

"Well, why don't you guys switch off?" He looks at me with a confused look. "Like once they start to feel tired, have them to wake someone else up so they can go on watch. It's not that complicated Harry." I giggle and roll my eyes.

"That is a great idea. I can't believe none of us could come up with that." He chuckles. "You're sticking by me the whole time." I blush at his compliment.

"We'll it was mainly your idea."

"How so?" I laugh kind of loud then cover my mouth. "What?" He is so dumb.

"Harry. What are we doing?"

"On patrol." He says slowly.

"And who did it before?" I signal him to continue.

"Twins." I just stare at him. He's looking at me like I gained another head.

"Never mind, I'll just take all the credit for that idea." I shake my head.

After about five minutes of patrolling, Harry stops and starts laughing to where he's about to collapse. I try to shush him and he signals me 'okay okay'. I ask him what.

"I just now got what you were saying." He says between breaths. He's calmed down and luckily no one has woken up nor has zombies showed up. "You can take credit though."

"Will do. Only because it took you so long to realise." I smile and giggle, which feels really nice.

"Oh, Max. I haven't laughed that hard or maybe at all ever since this mess has happened." He bumps into my shoulder while smiling.

"It's nice to see you smile." I tell him and he looks away. I bite my bottom lip. This is getting awkward now. "I'm starting to get tired now." I say while yawning.

"You can head to bed."

"Are you sure? I really don't want to just leave you on patrol by your self. You could just pass out and then no one would be on patrol."
