The Inexplicable Exploits of the Dork Corps

Part X- Confrontation of the Insomniacs

(iHola! Amigos and Amigas let's make this note short and sweet...Enjoy) (Nemesis sneaks up behind to add words)

It was a beautiful starry night as everyone laid in their beds to get some sleep.

 Sort of.

 Carter was in his lab building another computer.  While Fire laid at his feet, trying to construct a pillow that read brain waves so you could watch your dreams. Not like she would ever really use it.

"Hey Carter?" Fire murmured, "When was the last time you got a solid night's rest."

Carter rubbed his hands over eyes face, "Too long. Way too long."

"Same"

When this was a young linebreaaak, WHEN I WAS A YOUNG LLLLIIIINNNNEEBBREEAAAAK   

"Carts, concealer." Fire said, splashing her face with water. Carter threw her concealer container over his shoulder as he dabbed some of his own under his eyes.

"Coffee mug." Fire spun around and handed him a blue mug that said 'be like a proton and think positive' . 

"Black with three splashes of red bull. That should wake ya right up. It also might make you grow an extra head." Fire turned back around and carefully applied her concealer to cover the growing black under her eyes.

They slipped out of the lab and made their way quietly towards the living room. Carter checked his watch. 6:45am. The others would be out soon. Fire started cooking french toast in the kitchen. The smell wafting through the bunkers. Quickly drawing people from their rooms.

Kat came sliding in, literally, and started piling a plate with the shimmer, sticky bread. "HELLO HOOMANS!" she called, making Nemesis roll her eyes with a smile as she slipped into the kitchen. 

"Looks delicious Fire." She said plopping two pieces onto her own plate. She sank down onto the couch and flipped onto the tv. The day resumed as normal. Carter and Nemesis picking fights. Shat reading. Maddy cleaning. And Kat and Fire testing in the labs.

The evening slowly creeper up on them.

"Carter, aren't you going to eat something? I didn't see you eat anything for breakfast." Nemesis snipped at Carter.

"I already told you that I ate before you entered. You just wanted to sleep the day away."

"I woke up at seven!" she retorted.

"As I said, just wanted to sleep the day away."

Nemesis let out a huff. "And you Fire, I've seen you eat nothing but an apple and a quarter slice of french toast all day

"Correction. You haven't seen me all day." Nemesis looked ready to burst with anger. "Same difference." she finally managed to get out.   

"Well-ll it's get-ting late." Shat stuttered out,"We-e should probably go to bed." 

"Ya dudes. It's like midnight." Kat agreed. 

"See ya guys. I'm not tired yet." Carter said stretching his arms out and yawning.

"No you don't," Nemesis said with a smirk as she and kat his arms,"I saw your work shop light on last night. You woke me with all that noise."  

"Yeah well what about Fire over there. She was out with me." Carter replied with an 'if I'm going down, you're going down with me grin'. Tessa was stand of to the side moving her hand violently in front of her throat as a sign of no. With a look of betrayal in her eyes which she instantly changed to a look of innocence.
