Friendship, Love, and Shenanigans

by Lightning Spear


Just an (Extra)Ordinary Evening

Have you ever experienced something that flipped your world upside-down? Yes? No? well, I guess I experienced that kind of event, a life changing one to be honest. But before I tell you that, let me introduce myself.

My name is Nathan "Nate" Hunt, I am twenty-two years old and I live in the good old U.S of A ; in San Francisco to be precise.

I am over six feet tall (180 centimeters) and I have a proportional muscular build; lean and not overly bulky as a result of martial-arts training instead of heavy-lifting. I have short-spiky black hair, brown eyes, fair skin, and a bit of facial hair (which is cool in my opinion). With scars here and there on my skin; due to various causes. And yes, I love physical activities and gaming.

I have a father; his name's Nicholas, a mother; her name's Anna, a younger brother; his name's Johnny , and a younger sister; her name's Cathy. Let me summarize them for you.

My dad is the chief of the house, he is tough as nails, very disciplined,possesses an excellent sense of leadership, and boy oh boy his temper is hotter than the sun itself when agitated. But despite being hotheaded, he is very disciplined and possesses an excellent sense of leadership as I mentioned earlier; which also runs in the family. He is nice, funny, and very strategical in his calm state. He taught me a lot of things, from life philosophies to handyman's work to...well, strategies. Good luck beating him in chess or strategy games, which I only did once, with heavy casualties on my side. So overall, tough as nails but also soft and warm at the same time.

My mom is the second in command, she is a strong woman, independent, caring, loving, and very disciplined. But unlike my dad, she is not a hothead. She loves plants and flowers; best mom in the world.

My brother is unique, he complains a lot, and frankly quite a pussy. But good at piano and cash management,so basically he acts like the family's cash adviser and Beethoven.

My sister, sweet and caring. But if you get between her and her ambitions, I guess that would be another story.

Me? I guess I am a multi-role and adaptive type of guy, put me anywhere and once I get used to what I am doing, I would be fine and happy. But yes, I am ill-tempered like my dad. But could be controlled.

My whole family runs a food franchise corporation with outlets across the country that's been around for seven years! Not bad at all if you ask me. Recently, I've been helping to design the outlets (with my father's supervision and approval of course) since I have a degree at architecture. So yeah, I am a young architect.

But despite being an American,I was not born in the USA. Here let me tell you...

I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia and I spent most of my childhood with my parents, younger brother, and younger sister there before moving back to the US; and as a result I am very fluent in English and Bahasa Indonesia, although it's quite difficult to find somebody you can talk with the language here; so as a result my family and I sometimes communicate in Bahasa to keep us from getting rusty because mastering more than one language is a very valuable asset. It was nice to live in Indonesia, I loved everything, I made a lot of friends with various ethnics; and they have a lot of tasty meals there (I am not gonna list them for ya because simply saying Indonesian food makes me damn hungry.)

During my stay in Indonesia, I practiced a lot of martial arts such as Kyokushin Karate, Taekwondo, and Aikido. But among all of the aforementioned martial arts, I found my passion in Aikido and frankly I am good at it; combined with skills I learned from both Karate and Taekwondo (and personal improvisations) made me a unique martial-artist. Before me and my family returned to the U.S, I received my brown belt in Aikido.

Quite an achievement for an Aikidoka. And I am still practicing until now.

Many people believe that Aikido is a martial art for peace-lovers.

Technically speaking, yes. Because when you have practiced Aikido for a long time, you became more resistant to mocks, taunts, your own negative urges (anger, etc), and many more. So basically, you don't want any trouble but you can handle yourself when the situation calls for it.

Terms and conditions apply.

If you find yourself at a disadvantage, I suggest you haul your ass first. Only fight, when necessary.

The thing I really like about Aikido is that, we don't have any sort of written rules. But we do have one basic principle: whatever you do, just don't hurt your training partner. They are friends, not punching bags.

But in a real, life-threatening situation; that's another story. My personal damage-inflicted-in-a-fight record was when a thug tried to rob me and my mom.

I tried to negotiate and 'you don't want to do this' protocol. But things got out of hand, and the thug tried to stab my mom with his knife. So I caught his wrists, disarmed him, broke his hands, dislocated one of his shoulder, and cracked his rib-cage.

A lot of people and a police officer saw the whole thing. Based on the evidences, testimonies, and a long legal battle; the thug was found guilty, and I had to do social service for two weeks in San Francisco, plus my family paid the fee for the man's medication due to my mom's own will.

"He did something terrible, yes. But we have to show him kindness. Or otherwise, would we be any better than him?" My mom once said. And you know what, she is right.

But I am getting off the topic here.

Anyway, after my return to US soil, I enrolled in a private senior high school and after graduation, pursued my degree at architecture. And I just finished the last year of college and ready to be dropped into the world of professional works.

Unlike most teenagers, I spent the rest of my teenage years with no dates or affairs despite multiple confessions (not to brag here!!!) but I simply turned them down, because to me this kind of thing will just serve as a distraction I didn't have time to attend to. (But I have to admit, some girls who confessed to me were hotter than the sun. Which some didn't take very well after rejection.) Besides, I preferred to be friends where dramas were and still are a lot less frequent.

Anyway, after you get a hold on my background; I think it's time to tell you my story...

I am Nathan "Nate" Hunt, this is my story...


The rays of the sun shone on one beautiful summer afternoon as I jogged home wearing my training pants and t-shirt from my dojo two miles (approximately 3 kilometers) from my place; my backpack containing my training uniform (gi) was tightly strapped on my back to prevent it from swaying to much during the run. Yeah, that's me; a guy who jogged when his own SUV and sport bike were available, but I was in no mood of driving that time.

I quickened my pace as I felt the cool wind brushing against my face as I got closer to my house; remembering that all sort of college businesses were done, even the dojo was closed due to summer vacation.

Yep, so summer was finally here. Although practicing by yourself ain't bad at all, but it would be much better to have someone to do it with you (Ambiguous, I know.)

I've been living at a peaceful suburban area in a two-story single-family detached house with my parents, brother, and sister (and my German Shepherd, Janet). Not large nor small by size, but it's enough for ten people, it has a large backyard with various plants from my mother's specification, an awesome interior design with a living room where my brother's piano is, four bedrooms with a large sized bed in each room, a kitchen by my mother's design, a gaming room by my own design which could also be doubled as a home theater, three bathrooms, a reading room, a garage, a mirrored exercise room for me to practice which I filled with a lot of martial-arts equipment , an attic, and a basement. Overall the best house a person around my age and or above could have expected.

But this summer was special, my family were gone to the Netherlands for the whole summer since three days ago; visiting my distant relatives there. And they left me in charge of the house...awesome! I could play my PS4 all day long, especially Bloodborne, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, Mortal Kombat X, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt because I didn't really have the time to play on normal days. Catching up with the season 5 of Game of Thrones, eat pizzas, exercise, watch Red- I mean YouTube, and--

"Nate! wait up!" a familiar feminine voice called behind me. Heh, definitely Jenny's voice.

"Yeah dude! slow down!" a familiar masculine voice added. Definitely Michael's voice.

"Oh hey guys!" I replied with a cheery tone, stopping in my tracks as they jogged towards me. They were carrying grocery bags, filled with various goods.

Meet Jennifer "Jenny" Moss and Michael "Mike" Harper.

Jenny is twenty-one years old, she is five feet and eight inches tall (176 centimeters), long brown hair which she usually tied in a pony-tail, fair skin, green eyes, and an exquisite slim figure. Hotter than summer itself. She is also an Aikidoka but formerly a ballet dancer, which give her some handy advantages. And yeah, she got damn good at it. She has loving parents and a little brother, Mark. She is currently working with her parents as their secretary.

So don't mess with this chick, because this one is a red rose with lots of sharp thorns.

Mike is twenty years old, he is over six feet tall, short blonde hair, fair skin, blue eyes, and a bit chubby due to his laziness to do sports and training. Yep, also an Aikidoka. He is nerdy even somewhat genius,most people think he is a gay; which I definitely don't agree with (the dude masked his IP address to watch porn without someone breathing down his neck).

He is gonna kill me if he found out I shared this top secret information with you.

He loves doing weird-ass handy-works but I have to admit; his ideas are creative and bat-shit crazy. He's got a dozen of flash-bangs of his own creation in his house which he uses to prank people (and me) and once canceled half of an entire school day by setting off the school's fire alarm; using a smoke bomb made of sugar and Potassium Nitrate to create an illusion of fire in the school. He has loving parents and a little sister, Jessica. He is currently working as a vet.

So if you are the type of person who likes to think 'Oh, what should I do today? I don't know let's make some weird shit, dang!' then you and Mike will be best buddies for eternity.

I have known them since I moved to San Francisco, seven years ago. We are neighbors (our houses are just footsteps away from each other), went to the same senior high school, same university, and went on family vacations together.I got their backs and they got mine. They are like my own brother and sister, my family. If anything happen to them, maybe I will put a bullet through my brain or something.

Jenny got to me first, dropped her bag,and gave me a hug; which I returned "I thought you are at Santorini with your parents Jen." I replied as I let her go. Her sports bra coupled with her training pants matched each other; highlighting her slender figure.

"If you had paid more attention to your phone..." She pouted playfully. I took my cellphone from my pocket and saw there was an unread text message from her, telling me she canceled her departure with her parents.

Before I could say anything...

"They are there for work, not vacation. Besides, I don't want to miss a single day where I can slam you to the ground." she replied with a smirk.

"You wish." I smirked back at her. "What about Mark?"

"He is staying at Pittsburgh with my cousins." she replied "So, yay home alone."

"Not as athletic as you, you know that." Michael said, still panting as he gave me a bro-fist; which I returned. His sports t-shirt drenched in sweat "Mom, dad, and Bobby's off to Scotland, whole summer. I guess we are all in the same boat as always."

"Good to know I won't be alone this summer." I said, patting his shoulder. "Speaking of which, where were you guys this afternoon? didn't see you two at the dojo."

"Well, we..." Michael said with a sheepish smile "come on man, it's summer!"

"You should take a day off Mr. Discipline." Jenny added; giving me a playful jab to the chest.

I chuckled and shook my head "Maybe you're right. By the way, the entire dojo's off for vacation; so it's just us this whole summer." I replied.

"But you know we won't let you go that easy, right Mike?" Jenny smirked.

"Fine." Michael groaned "Just light-training though, to keep us from getting rusty."

"Yep." Jenny approved.

"Alright, so...my place after this?" I asked. Jenny and Michael immediately stared at me "No, don't worry. No training, just you know...to chill out?"

"Maybe not today Nate..." Jenny replied while picking up her grocery bag "I have to do some work to clear my schedule for the rest of the summer. Tomorrow it is then." she said with a smile.

"Alright." I smiled. "What about you Mike?"

"Sure, but I gotta drop this at my house, take a shower, and--"

"Do what you have to do first. Take your time." I said while stretching up a bit "Besides, you two look like hell."

"That's what we get for running up for two miles asshole." Mike said.

"You're welcome, bangsat(all Indonesian swearing , served in one word)." I smirked. "Come on..."

Then we started jogging down through the unusually quiet suburbs, in fact...too quiet. One or two cars passed us by, two pedestrians were on sight, empty driveways...

Very quiet.

'The owners are definitely not at home.' I mused.

"Hey..." Jenny said between her breaths "Don't you think this is way too quiet than usual?"

"Yeah..." Michael said "Where is everybody?"

"Maybe, they are off for vacation." I replied. "But still...way too quiet." Jenny and Mike nodded.

A few minutes later, we reached our houses.

"Catch you guys later." Mike said as he entered his house. Jenny and I waved at him before entering our respective houses. I unlocked my door and entered my house and closed the door behind me, then all of a sudden; Janet (my German Shepherd in case you didn't notice) came running from the kitchen and jumped on me standing on her hind legs, her large size for a German Shepherd made her quite heavy. But nothing I can't handle.

I patted her head as she got back on all fours and she yipped in delight. I went to the kitchen and filled her bowls with dog food and water which she immediately ate and drank.

'Damn she must be hungry.' I mused with a chuckle.

Then I headed to the basement,turned on the lights,put my training uniform along with my sweat-soaked t-shirt in the washing machine, set it, and turned it on (again, no pun intended).

Seeing all was set, I went to the first floor, grabbed a white sports t-shirt ,blue jeans, an underwear from my room and stepped into my bathroom for a shower.

I know some of you might be thinking "You don't say?!" but you can also fap in the bathroom right? right? no? oh well then...

I exhaled with relief as the cold water drenched my body, washing all sorts of soap and shampoo down the drain. I let the water drenched my body a couple more seconds before turning off the valve. I put my clothes on and went back to the living room.

"Now, just to wait for Mike..." I said, resting myself on my large soft light brown couch. Seeing me in the couch, Janet jumped up and snuggled next to me. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

*Riiiiing*

The loud ringing of the bell snapped me out of my dreamworld. Still a bit drowsy, I walked to the kitchen and washed my face with cold water from the sink. I dried my face with a hand-towel and looked outside the window, it was dusk. The sun was no longer visible but it's seven rays were, coloring the sky with beautiful shades of yellow and orange. Seeing it's gonna be dark soon, I turned on the lights on my backyard and the lights I usually turn on at night

"Yo open up Taylor Lautner!" Mike's obvious voice could be heard from the other side of the door.

*Riiiiing*

"Ha-ha-ha! Another stereotype joke." I retorted as I walked to the door and opened it. And there, stood my best friend Mike. Wearing a grey hoodie jacket and blue jeans with two bags of cheetos and a pack of soda in his arms. His casual gaming load-out.

"So, ready for some Advanced Warfare? n00b?" Mike taunted.

"Bring it on, n00b." I smirked.


"Run little rabbit! RUN!" Mike laughed maniacally as he rained down bullets from his Paladin gunship as I ran for my life between the narrow streets of the Terrace map. If it as not for the buildings in the map, I would be torn to shreds. I was with the Sentinel Task Force and Mike was with Atlas Corporation. No bots, just a classic one on one match.

I kept on running throughout various locations on the map, hunting Mike's lousy ass down. Using my exo abilities to the fullest. As I was wearing the Light-class exo, I couldn't afford to take on heavy punishments; so speed and agility was my main defense. A Stinger M7 was in my disposal, along with my AE4 Widowmaker assault rifle; but using the Stinger while being riddled up with bullets won't be of any good.

The gaming room was like a real battlefield at that moment, if it was not for the room's soundproofing; the big ass stereo speakers would've caused the neighbors to call the cops and arrest us. If there were anyone left in the area.

It was then when I realized Mike's auto-cannons were overheated, so I took an aim with my Stinger and fired. The four missiles impacted the gunship; destroying it with a single shot.

"Shit!" he exclaimed.

"Oh I am coming for you now son!" I laughed while flashing him a nasty grin. After a couple more minutes of hunting him down, I found Mike perched on top of the balcony near the Poseidon Pool; with his XMG dual miniguns pointed at me. But before he could fire his weapon, I unloaded my AE4 on him; killing him.

"HAH! Randal Higgins would've been so proud of me." I said with pride as KillCam recording was played on the screen. (Randal Higgins is the KillCameraman from the DLC trailers in case you don't know). "This is the tenth time I kicked your ass today."

"Luck!" he retorted, then he took out his cellphone and looked at the time "Oh shit, I gotta go. See you tomorrow man!" he said while giving me a bro-fist.

"Alright, see you." I replied. Then he left the room, taking the empty cheetos bags and sodas with him.

"Well, I guess I'll continue this some other time..." I said while turning off the PS4, my fifty inch ultra HD TV, the air conditioners, and all lights in the room before exiting. As I exited the room, I saw Janet fast asleep in front of my room; undisturbed by my presence. I smiled at the scene, took the stairs to ground floor, and headed towards my backyard.

I slide open the windowed panel doors and stepped into my backyard, the cold night air swept through my body; ridding my drowsiness from the play and refreshing me. I looked up, and saw the moon and the stars high in the midnight blue night sky. Decorating the night with their ethereal, calming light.

"Damn, the night is beautiful as ever." I mused as I inhaled with admiration. I was walking back inside, when suddenly...

*BOOOM!*

A burst of white light exploded before my eyes with a loud boom. I fell on one knee, clutching both of my ears as they were ringing very badly while also closing my eyes, trying to re-focus my disoriented vision; as if someone had thrown a flash-bang at me. Janet immediately ran down the stairs and got to my side, at first she nuzzled my left arm; in dog language, trying to ask whether I was okay but then she started growling.

As the ringing and and the disorientation subsided,I was about to shout out every profanity known to mankind for Mike and the entire suburb to listen to.

"MICHAEL YOU SON OF A-- HOOOOLLLY SHIIIIITTT!" But then, things got out of hand as I found four unconscious...mythical...horses, no. Ponies, too small to be horses.

"Okay, calm down. calm down." I calmed myself down, knocked some sense into myself and analyzed the situation.

'Four multicolored ponies with wings...and horns...pegasus...no...unicorns...no...ah damn it what's the name again?' I thought as I raked my brain of my childhood fairy tales.

'Alicorns...that's it!' I patted myself on the shoulder. Then, I knelt on one knee, taking a closer look at them. I saw their bodies going up and down in a steady pace; indicating they were all breathing.

"At least they are all still alive, don't wanna bury four Alicorn pony carcasses in my backyard." I thought. I told Janet to go back inside the house; which she complied with hesitation, and began my examination on them.

I examined the one laying the closest to me. This one has a pristine white coat, has a slim built, and multicolored mane similar to that of a rainbow. The largest of the four.

"Slim built, seems pretty fast and agile." I thought as I continued my examination.

I turned my sights to another pony, laying near the white one. This one has a dark blue coat, also has a slim built, and her mane resembled the moonlit night sky itself; midnight blue with stars (at least to my perspective) decorating them. Smaller than the white one, but mid-sized among the four.

Then, I walked over carefully to the remaining two; making sure I didn't wake the other two I just inspected.

Again, I examined the one laying the closest to me. This one has a purple-- er, lavender coat, less slimmer built compared to the other two, and dark purple mane with a matching light purple streak. The smallest of the four.

Then, I moved to the last one...this one has a pink coat, also has a slim built, and multicolored mane. A bit smaller than the midnight blue one, but bigger than the lavender one; so, mid-sized.

The white, dark blue, and pink were all wearing...crowns...necklaces...and finely crafted exquisite horseshoes. While the purple one only wore a crown and no horseshoes.

"What are they? some sort of pony princesses or some shit?" I thought.

I also noticed they have some sort of, marking. In their...flanks.

Based on my examination, I assumed they were all females because the way they were outfitted, long eyelashes, and feminine body-shapes; strongly resembled one.

I moved back to the white one and traced my hand gently on her coat, and felt silky soft sensation on my palms as my skin brushed against her fur. (hey I am not molesting her, I just wanna make sure I still have my sanity with me.)

"Stay away from my sister creature!" An extremely loud feminine voice pierced my eardrums, as if someone just screamed at my ears with a loud speaker.

I clutched my ears again and stared at the source of the thundering voice. Janet came running from the house, got to my side, and started growling; her canine fangs ready to do some damage. Despite being normally tame and friendly, in situations like this however; that's a whole new story.

And there, in front of my eyes; the midnight blue Alicorn pony stood at attack position, her horn glowed with a dark blue aura. I stood like a stump in my position, filled with disbelief.

'Holy shit! It--she can talk?! and that blue aura, what kind of shit have I gotten my hands on?!' I thought as I knocked some sense into myself. I slowly backed away from the white Alicorn with my palms stretched out, showing I meant no harm.

'Well, fuck it! let's talk to this Alicorn. I am out of sanity anyway...' I thought, bracing myself for all possibilities.

"Janet, stay." I said to her; and again she complied. Then I switched my attention, to the dark blue Alicorn "Whoa there lady, there's no need for--"

My instincts immediately took over my body as I saw a dark-blue spear-like energy flying towards me at a great speed. I quickly rolled away, the energy spear barely missed my dog and impacted an empty stone plant pot nearby; shattering it to pieces.

"Well then..." I chuckled and got into attack position with Janet by my side. The Alicorn stared at me with a taunting stare, one of those 'bring it on' kind of looks. But before any of us could do anything...

"Luna, what is going on here?" A motherly feminine voice interrupted us in the middle of the skirmish. Both me and the dark blue Alicorn immediately turned towards the source of the voice. The white Alicorn was already awake, rubbing her eyes with her right hoof.

'Luna,huh? nice name.'I thought with a small mental smile, since her name really matched her appearance.

"This...creaturewas touching you!" Luna replied with an agitated tone "So, I tried to chase it away."

"Yeah, by nearly blowing my head off!" I replied with an equally agitated tone, staring at the debris of the destroyed plant pot. "But she is right, I was touching you. And for that, I am sorry." I said towards the white Alicorn. "But I did it only to make sure you are real. Because meeting an Alicorn, a mythological creature here; is not an everyday sight."

"I see you know what we are. But mythical? what part of Equestria are we in?" The white Alicorn asked again.

'Equestria? what kind of place is that? sounds like a place filled with horses to me. Uh, wait.' I mentally facepalmed.

Moments passed before I finally answered her question.

"Er, look...can we continue this conversation inside?" I asked while pointing at my house. "Where it's less chilly?"

The white Alicorn and Luna looked at each other for a moment before nodding at each other and looking back at me.

"Agreed, but if you try to do something to us..." she said while staring at me right in my eyes "I am going to make you regret it."

I nodded "And I assure you, I am not going to do such things."

The two stared into my eyes once again, as if they were staring right into my soul. I know people said that eyes are the windows of the soul, but this sensation I felt; couldn't be described with words.

Moments later, they finally stopped their gazes and turned towards the other two. Suddenly, their horns glowed with golden and dark blue auras respectively and levitated the other two Alicorns, Luna was carrying the lavender one and the white Alicorn was carrying the pink one before walking back to me.

Janet growled at them, but I told her to stand down.

I opened the door for them and they entered the living room. I took a quick look to make sure nobody saw the whole ordeal, followed them in, and closed the door behind me.

"Please, make yourselves at home." I said while pointing at the largest couch in the living room, enough for four adults to sit in. They did as I tell them and took their seats, gently placing the lavender and pink Alicorns beside them. I sat in the couch where my father usually sits when interviewing new workers for the corporation with my dog standing guard beside me.

'The couch didn't break, way lighter than regular horses--er, ponies.' I thought.

"You know, I think we start this of in the wrong way." I said with a friendly tone, trying to break the ice between us. "My name is Nathan Hunt, but just call me Nate. " I said while holding out my hand to Luna, she stared at my hand and placed her right hoof on my hand and I gave her a quick handshake, so did the white one.

"Oh, and this is my dog; Janet." I said while pointing to one of my most faithful companion.

"My name is Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria and this is Princess Luna, also co-ruler of Equestria." The white Alicorn introduced herself and her sister. I nodded with a smile.

'Celestia, that's a nice name. Matching with her sister even.' I thought.

"A pleasure, Your Majesties." I said politely, trying not to agitate them.

"Actually Nate, you can call us by our names. We are not much for formalities." Celestia said with a soft smile.

'You did it son.' I said while giving myself a pat on the shoulder, knowing I warmed the situation up.

"So, back to the matter at hoof." Celestia said "What are you and where are we?"

"For your first question, I am a Human male. Also known as Homo Sapiens." I told them.

"A Hyoo-man?" Luna tried to chant the word.

"Exactly." I said with an approving smile. "As for your second question, you are currently sitting in my house; my living room to be precise." I said. "However, I am afraid you are no longer in Equestria."

"Are we still in Equus?" Luna asked.

"Equus? is that your planet?" I asked again. Luna and Celestia nodded.

"No, you are now on planet Earth." I informed them.

"So...technically, we are on an alien planet?" Celestia concluded.

"Technically, yes." I replied.

'And there goes the answer for the question: Are we alone in the universe.' I thought.

"How did you get here in the first place?" I asked.

"I...don't remember." Celestia said while closing her eyes.

"Maybe you are just too tired to do so." I said.

"You are right." Celestia said "Do you mind if we continue this tomorrow morning?" she asked.

"Of course." I replied "You two should get some sleep." I said while getting up from my seat.

"Nate, do you mind if we use your couch for tonight?" Celestia asked.

"Of course, now hold on a sec." Then I quickly ran up the stairs with Janet following suit. I grabbed two spare large quilt blankets for my guests downstairs.

I told Janet to stay in front of my room, and walked back downstairs with the blankets in my arms. "Here, in case you need them." I said with a smile. "If you need anything, just let me know."

"Thank you Nate, for everything." Celestia said with a smile.

"You are welcome Princess." I said, then I walked back up the stairs before Luna's voice stopped me.

"Nathan." she said "Can we trust you?"

"You have my word" I replied reassuringly. As I walked upstairs, I heard the sound of the blankets being unfolded.

I continued the walk to my bedroom, got into the bathroom, cleaned myself up before changing to my sleeping outfit. A simple black T-shirt and boxers.

Then I walked back into my bedroom and found Janet fast asleep in front of my door. I smiled at the sight and stepped into my bedroom.

I crawled to my bed and stared at the ceiling, realizing this summer vacation won't be so dull after all.
