When You're Home! ( XXX )
" We're home!" Aphmau exclaimed happily.
" About time," Lucinda stated."... now if you guys would excuse me I've got to go check on my shop."
" Oh, that's right!" The Meif'wa exclaimed." Kawaii~Chan has to get to her shift at the maid cafe!"
" Aphmau could you be a dear and hold onto our things?" The witch asked sweetly.
" What? You guys just got off vacation and you're already going back to work?"
" Hey, work is work. See you later."
" Finally, at least here I don't have to worry about the sun too much," Travis said.
" That's something I'd expect Zane to say- where is Zane? Did he go to work already too?"
The group looked around for him before noticing some movement behind a pile of nearby crates as Zane attempted to hide from the others.
" Zane? Why are you hiding behind those crates?"
" What're those crates doing there anyway?"
Garroth shrugged." A delivery probably."
" Zane, I know you want to get home, but at least come give me a hug? Knowing you you're going to seal yourself away in your house for a while after this whole summer fiasco."
" No I'm not!" he retorted, still attempting to hide.
" Zane."
" No! I'm not!"
" Okay, I believe you... you've got work to do after all."
" Yeah."
" Why is he hiding?" Travis asked, turning away from Zane.
" Hasn't he been hiding this whole summer?"
" Ehh... sort of?"
Aphmau grumbled." Come on! Give me a hug 'bye' at least."
" Fine," he grumbled, emerging from his hiding spot looking quite a bit tanner than when any of the group had last seen him.
" Huh? Zane!?"
" What happened?"
" You've got to be kidding me," Garroth said before he and Dante burst into laughter.
" Shut up!... it happened on the way back home."
Alex held back a laugh." How did this happen? We saw you for the majority of our trip home."
" I fell asleep on the deck for a few hours and I tan easily!"
Aphmau sighed." Alright guys, leave him alone. It's alright Zane, it'll go away... plus I think it looks good on you!"
" It does?"
" Yeah! But let's ignore it for now. It's not a big deal- are you going home?"
" I know I am," Garroth replied.
" She wasn't asking you!"
" Oh, I need to get home soon if I'm going to finish moving in only one day," Alex mentioned." We've got to hurry home."
" Oh no-"
" Speaking of, I can't wait to see what the renovations look like Travis."
He turned pale." Oh, shoot! That's right!"
