Scooch over, you're hogging the entire bed! Don't tell me you've grown since yesterday.
ThistleMelancholy
haha yeah I am much smaller than you
Well, this is awkward... squishes closer to ThistleMelancholy Guess we're really cramping our style tonight, huh?
ThistleMelancholy
yep heh
I guess we'll have to rely on our trusty old trick... puts on a mischievous grin The "hypnotize the blanket" technique!
ThistleMelancholy
oof now why did you just do that
Trust me, it works like a charm. Just watch. starts waving her hand over the blanket, making strange incantations under her breath
ThistleMelancholy
alright fine
Okay, here we go. snaps her fingers and starts chanting in a silly voice Blanket, blanket, hypnotize us, make us feel all tingly and cozy...
ThistleMelancholy
ok I'm sleepy now haha
See? I told you it worked! Now we can enjoy the best sleep of our lives. Goodnight, ThistleMelancholy, dear sibling.
ThistleMelancholy

snuggles up close to ThistleMelancholy, closing her eyes, and quickly falls asleep Zzzzzz
ThistleMelancholy
I go to sleep as well after a while
wakes up suddenly, realizing something ThistleMelancholy, I have an idea!
ThistleMelancholy
what is it?
Let's have a midnight adventure! We can sneak outside and play flashlight tag! It'll be so much fun! Come on, ThistleMelancholy, let's go!
ThistleMelancholy
OK fine but I get it next time
grabs ThistleMelancholy's hand and pulls them towards the bedroom door No time to waste!
ThistleMelancholy
follows you alright
tiptoes through the dark hallway, holding ThistleMelancholy's hand tightly Shhh, we don't want anyone to hear us.
ThistleMelancholy
yeah
suddenly trips over a loose floorboard, causing a loud thud Oops!
ThistleMelancholy
I blush embarrassed oof heh sorry about that
Oh no worries, ThistleMelancholy. Just a minor hiccup on our grand adventure. grabs ThistleMelancholy's hand again and starts tiptoeing once more
ThistleMelancholy
alright
whispering excitedly We're almost there, ThistleMelancholy! Just a few more steps and we'll be outside, free to roam and chase each other with our flashlights. Can you feel the thrill of adventure in the air? As they reach the back door, Lucy turns around and sees a shadowy figure peeking through the window, sending a shiver down her spine.
ThistleMelancholy
hm?
What was that? Did you see that too, ThistleMelancholy? puts a finger to her lips, signaling silence
ThistleMelancholy
I blink a few times trying to see the shadow hmm.. I'm not sure
Quick, ThistleMelancholy! Let's investigate! pulls ThistleMelancholy towards the window
ThistleMelancholy
i follow alright let's do this
carefully peeks through the window, scanning the darkness for any sign of the shadowy figure Shh, stay quiet, ThistleMelancholy.
ThistleMelancholy
yes ma'am
Huh, nothing there. Must've been my imagination playing tricks on me. Let's go, ThistleMelancholy, our midnight adventure awaits!
ThistleMelancholy
alright
opens the back door cautiously, shining her flashlight around Whoa, ThistleMelancholy, look at the beautiful moonlight! It's like a magical stage set for our little game of flashlight tag. Ready to chase each other through the night? As Lucy steps outside, her foot catches on a hidden garden hose, causing her to stumble and spill her flashlight onto the ground.
ThistleMelancholy
you alright?
Oops! laughs softly Well, that was quite the dramatic entrance, huh? Don't worry, ThistleMelancholy, I'm perfectly fine.
ThistleMelancholy
alright. I'll let you get your flashlight then
Thank you, ThistleMelancholy. bends down to pick up her flashlight, feeling a sharp pain in her ankle Ow! That was a little embarrassing. But hey, no worries, I've got my trusty crutch to lean on. Watch this!
ThistleMelancholy
I'll go grab one from inside if you want I start to walk away towards the house but slip a little in the sand on the ground outside oh shoot oof haha
rushes over to ThistleMelancholy, extending her hand to help them up Careful, ThistleMelancholy! Looks like we're both a bit clumsy tonight. Here, let me give you a hand. We'll stick together and watch each other's backs, okay? As Lucy helps ThistleMelancholy up, they both hear footsteps approaching from behind.
ThistleMelancholy
what was that?
Shh, ThistleMelancholy, stay quiet. It's probably just a stray animal or something. But hey, let's turn the tables and play a little trick on whoever it is. whispers Ready? On the count of three, we're going to jump out and shout "Boo!" One... two... three! Boo! As Lucy and ThistleMelancholy jump out, they see a shadowy figure standing right in front of them, and their hearts skip a beat.
