I jolted up from my deep slumber and looked at my palm. Flipping my hands around and pinching myself to make sure I'm in the real world. It felt surreal. I remember it ever so clearly too. That woman. What was her name? I never asked. I should've but I didn't.
I sat up straight and stretched. I don't firmly have plans for today and I'm not sure if Rhea has. The image of that woman keeps popping up in my mind. The thought of having a guardian amuses me.
It took me a while to digest it. I rubbed my face and shook the thoughts away and stalls my way into the bathroom. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and I could faintly see the reflection of that woman behind me. I rubbed my eyes and looked into the mirror again. She's still there. I decided to ignore it and brush my teeth. I then washed my face and changed into something casual.
I walked downstairs to find Rhea dressed in her training outfit. As if she heard my footsteps, she turned to look at me from the kitchen, "Oh hey, I just came back from training."
I waved at her and went over to her wrapping my arms around her just because I felt like it. She hesitantly pats my back, "are you alright? Should I be worried?"
I shook my head and pulled away. "What are we gonna do today?" I asked her. She shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. I was thinking maybe some camping might be fun."
Camping huh? Surely that's not so bad of a choice. There won't be people there so I won't seem crazy to other homosapiens. "Should I start packing then?" I called out to her.
"It's completely up to you, boy. We'll be camping for a few nights if the sky allows," she replied from her room. The side of my lips curved upwards for a small smile. I looked around the room. Searching and rummaging between furniture but I can't seem to find a bag.
"Rhea! Does the closet give me a bag too if I want it?" I questioned as loud as I could. I could hear her grunt at the moment she yelled a 'yes' back to me. I dragged my feet over to the closet and held the handle thinking of a large gym type bag. I opened the closet and pulled it out. Still blows my mind how the closet gives you whatever you can think of.
After a few rounds of opening and closing the closet, I got a bag of clothes. I went to the bathroom to get the toiletries too. Honestly, this is very exciting as I've never really been camping before. I wonder what it's like. I was never really allowed to go on school camping so I'd always sit around and do nothing. It really feels lonely as I never had any friends anyway.
When I was done, I sneaked downstairs while Rhea is still packing. I went over to the fridge and pulled out some whipping cream. I gave it a good shake and put it on a paper plate. I swear, being a spirit is so nice, you can get most things. I put the whipping cream on the floor as I headed back upstairs.
This is honestly really childish and I don't know why I'm doing this but this is just really fun.
Knock. Knock.
"Rhea!" I called out. It took her a few short moments to open the door and when she did, I smacked the whipping cream on her face. The whipping cream splattered all over. I took a step back and snorted at my piece of art. Rhea stood there, frozen.
She slowly peeled the plate from her face and smacked it at mine. She rubbed her face on my t-shirt as a so-called, 'revenge.'
She wanted to back up but I pulled her in and hugged her. "Rhea, you're so mean, now I have to clean up," I teased. She went silent for a moment and pushed herself off of me, "well, you don't say!"
She stomped her feet and went into her room, slamming the door. I chuckled as I shook my head, bending down to clean up the mess on the floor. She's so cute.
Within seconds, she got out and glared at me. Her face was still filled with whipping cream but it was clearly wiped off. She stomped her feet down the stairs and slipped, falling onto her butt and slid down the stairs of whipping cream.
I burst out laughing the moment she hit the bottom ground. "You really think you're funny huh?" she called out. I nodded my head vigorously and fell in the process because of laughing too much. I could hear her feet splatting the cream as she stomped up the stairs and stepped on my chest with her right leg that's covered in cream.
She started tracing the cream onto my face. I managed to get a hold of myself and grabbed her feet. "Hey, you know it's rude to step on someone right?" I said as I licked a little bit of the cream from her feet. Disgusting I know, but it definitely did the trick. Her eyes widened from shock and her face slowly turning red. She snatched her feet back but lost balance.
I quickly got her hand and pulled her onto me to prevent her from falling. Except, now we're in a really awkward position. Her body perpendicular to mine, on my body her hands in mine, pulled onto the other side. Her legs are almost down the stairs and because of her height, her butt is exactly in front of my face.
I quickly turned away and caught her looking back at me. Blushes spread across our faces as she hurriedly got up. Chanted some magic, she cleaned up by pushing and pulling some objects with the wind. I stood upright after her and ran into my room in embarrassment.
