*NORTH, East, East ;b
'Maybe this brief flicker of insanity is the result of not sleeping enough,' I thought to myself. 'Time to hit the hay.'
I trudged back upstairs into the bedroom. Uberbob was in his bed, and Fooruman was fast asleep in the canoe. I assumed the canoe was also asleep. I climbed into the bed next to Uberbob's, fluffed up my pillow and attempted to go to sleep.
"You aren't sleeping nude, are you?" I heard Uberbob ask.
"No," I replied.
"Okay. Goodnight, Faw."
"Goodnight Uberbob."
-------------------------------------------
"...Faw..."
I rolled over in bed. "Huhwhat?" I muttered, still half-asleep.
"Faw, get up."
I sat up in bed and saw L33tz4n standing at the foot of my bed. Her eyes gave off a faint glow in the darkness.
"What are you doing here?" was my immediate response.
"I'll explain in a bit," she whispered. "Get up and follow me."
I disdainfully complied, though I was still very tired. The two of us quietly left the room and entered the hallway. Light from the open Save Point door illuminated the area just enough to make out her features. She looked very troubled.
"What are we-?"
"Just come on," she interreupted, grabbing my arm and leading me Southward towards the Save Point. She slithered into the bathroom, when I suddenly drew back my arm.
"Whoa, why are we going in there?" I asked, very confused by this point.
"You'll see soon enough," was her response. I gulped. She went inside on her own, while I stood in the hallway not sure of what to do next.
'I'll see... soon enough?' The words echoed in my brain. Surely L33tz4n didn't want... I mean... what had she been giggling about before anyway? L33tz4n and I were such good friends; we'd both been following around Uberbob ever since the Snufuss incident. She had always seemed to like Uberbob the most... but then again, Uberbob had been treating her rather badly lately. Maybe she had decided to come over to the Fawside after all...
