Chapter 5 - Ray brings Thyra home

~~~ Going to the pack house

The next morning Misty woke up and had to remember what had happened the night before. That and she was trying to figure out what the warm weight on her back was. Eventually she was awake enough to realize it was Sunny laying on her back and snoring, "Huh, how did this happen?" She muttered.

Hands had to snicker at her, "Because they are skilled little sneakers." He was also on his stomach and Nuzzle was flopped on his back as well, "Trust me you will get used to it and hopefully Sunny isn't an active sleeper. Nuzzle has kicked me in a number of places as she sleeps. One morning I woke and found her at the other end of the bed using one of my legs as a pillow."

Nuzzle felt him move slightly and start talking. Since she was dreaming, in her dream she was licking an ice cream cone. In real life that translated to her starting to lick his neck. He clenched his jaw and made a funny sound. He could only handle not reacting for a short time and finally rolled over and dumped her off his back and sat up, "That and she tends to lick when she is dreaming on my back."

Nuzzle flopped over on her back and was sprawled out. Hands got an evil look and leaned over and blew a raspberry on her stomach which definitely woke her up. She squealed rather loudly which started the others waking up.

Sunny started awake as well and slipped off Misty's back and was looking rather confused since this wasn't her room. Nuzzle squealed again as he kept blowing raspberries on her tummy, Sunny jumped on his back and tried to tickle him, "Hands being stinky meanie. No making Nuzzle squeak. Not nice."

Nuzzle was trying to protect her tummy from him so she couldn't defend herself. She was definitely giggling up a storm though. When Sunny tried to tackle him Nuzzle snickered, "Tickle his pits. He ticklish there."

Misty rolled on her side and watched the three of them and a tear trickled out of one eye. For the moment, all was right with the world. Her little brother was starting to be able to laugh and play again and it meant the world to her. As the two were ganging up on him he was cackling and snickering. Several of the other girls either sat up or rolled over to see what was going on.

Skye glowered at her, "You do realize it's Saturday, don't you? Breakfast is later and we get to sleep in right? Stop being so cheerful darn you." Just for good measure she wrinkled her muzzle at Misty.

That got a laugh from everyone. From Hands, Misty could hear some whispering but had no idea what he was telling the girls. Both slipped off the bed and crawled around to the bed Skye and Shadow were in and leapt up. They proceeded to attack the two and tickle them.

Everyone snickered and laughed at the girls tickling the older two. Misty stood up, "I am going home for the weekend. Once I am dressed I will go with Sunny and get a few things Hands. If you are going to come home I will meet you at the entrance."

Misty and Hands met at the temple exit. Both had forgotten that Ray was going to come to see them. When Hands had talked to Ray he had been so tired it simply slipped his mind. Nuzzle, Savory, and the older girl from the other section was coming home with him. Sunny, Misty, and Shadow were coming home this time. Since none of them were in the mood to be stared at they had called for a public air car.

Once they had sat down inside Hands yawned and stretched, "Damn it now I am going to want to sleep all day again." He wrapped an arm around Savory and drew her into a gentle kiss, "I think I can live though. If nothing else I can crash in the back on one of the loungers and relax in the sun." Thanks to the nanites in his blood he didn't have to worry about getting a sun burn.
