	Surprisingly, Alex had slept remarkably well. Especially when you consider he was sleeping in a teepee built for a pony. He didn't dream that day, which was strange because his mind had been given SO much to dream about. Alex actually slept through the whole day, until the next night. It wasn't easy, he woke a few times and had to try hard to fall back asleep... however you "try" to fall asleep. 
Alex woke up when the sun was starting to set. He exited his tent groggily.
"God, how long was I asleep for?" He asked nobody in particular. Alex decided to "freshen up" at the stream he visited the night prior. Alex walked to the river and splashed the cool water on his face. He dried himself off with his shirt and went back to the camp. There, poking her head in his tent, was Nocturn.
"Hey there!" Alex announced. Nocturn jumped, and spun around to see him.
"Oh hi there!" She said, shaken. "I wasn't expecting you to be out."  Alex laughed slightly.
"I bet you weren't," Alex says. "Hey, where's Stella?" Alex asked. Nocturn eyed Alex for a moment.
"Why? Do you like her?" Nocturn spat out.
"What? No- well, In a platonic type way, if I got 'platonic' right." Alex replied, trying to sound un-phased. He succeeded.
"Well, Stella's up in the clouds," Nocturn said. Alex laughed when he realized she meant that literally. Nocturn didn't see what was so funny. "... I'll go get her." With that, Nocturn flew off to go find her friend.



"NOOOOO!!!" Stella groaned as Nocturn jumped on the particularly large cloud Stella bedded on. "Don't make me get up!"
"Come on Stella! Alex's waiting for you! You gotta show him around."
"Alex?" Stella repeated, unsure of what she meant. Then, it hit her. "Alex!"
"Yeah! You're gonna show him around camp." Nocturn said, tugging at Stella's hoof.
"I gotta show him around!" Stella cried, flying off.
