Jim's Lean-To

I shrugged. "Eh, I'll have plenty to do..." I thought of actually fixing the lean-to up a bit, maybe adding a second story, a few game rooms...The whole sha-bang. Hmmm....I felt my curious face appear.

I grinned, not showing on my face my true intentions. "Mkay! Put me down!" My legs started to go numb. I pursed my lips and crossed my arms, pretending to be mad.

I wobbled a bit as my legs tried to wake up, then caught my balance. My ribs were irritating me, my wrist healed in one of the three places, the one on my arm was a raised pink line and my leg was still regularly scraped. Better, not perfect. "Now, do you want me to sing you to sleep? Or tell you a story?" I smiled and raised my eyebrow. Ah, a new habit. Great.

I groan but I know this is right. "Fine, fine." I say and sit down beside Jim. "What's next, Dr. Harvy?"

I grin and unwrap the bandages. "Oh my gosh... Wow, you heal ridiculously fast!" I gasp. I wrap it with fresh gauze and smile. "How about, when I wake up, we go to the infirmary and put a better cast on your wrist and ribs, then go the the archy range and you teach me how to shoot an -arrow?

I gasp. "Yay!" I clap my hands and then crisscross my legs. I angle myself to face him, waiting for him to lay down.

I laugh and lay down, yawning. I knew she could tell I was absolutely exhausted

"Somebody's sleeeppppyyyy!" I sing. I clear my throat and bring my hand down in front of my face like a professional actress. "Okay. Here goes world's best story."

"Once upon a time there were three gods; Zeusy-god, Poseidon-y-god, and little baby Hades-y-god." There's a rumble in the ground. "Hey, it's not my fault you're the youngest." I call to the ground at Hades. It rumbles again. "Whatever. Back to the story. Well, the gods decided to make some ambrosia for the Godly Fair of Godliness and Cool Chiz."

I laughed. "Continue," I pleaded.

I giggle. "Okay. So they flew off on some beast chariots to get some silverware and fancily folded napkins. Meanwhile, there was this lady named Hera-locks. She liked cows. She also thought her husband Zeusy-god was a cheating oaf." Thunder. "Hey, if you guys are so sensitive then don't listen. Anyway, she snuck into the snazzy throne room of awesomeness and saw three bowls of ambrosia. She was hungry, so she tried the one by Zeus' throne. 'Oh my! This ambrosia is too electrifying!' she said and went to Poseidon's throne. 'Oh my! This ambrosia is to wet!' she exclaimed and stomped over to Hades' lawn chair in the corner. 'Mmm....This ambrosia is just right! It's cold and heartless!' So she ate it up and went to sit down."

I began to laugh. "Are you purposely trying to get on Zeuses bad side?" I asked grinnng

I wave his question aside. "Eh, I'm already on everyone's bad side except my dad's. So Hera-locks went to pop a squat on Zeusy-god's throne. 'Oh! This seat is too hot!' She waltzed over to Poseidon's throne. 'Okay, why is this seat wet.....' She ran to Hades' lawnchair. 'This is perfect! It's simple and goes with a pleasent summer theme!' So she sat in it and suddenly transformed into a cow, crushing the chair. 'Aw, poo.' She frowned, and flashed out of the throne room to Zeus' magical bed of magic and clouds and stuff."

I laughed again, falling asleep. "You're crazy," I smiled in my British accent

I smile as I notice him falling asleep. "Spoiler alert: she falls asleep in Hades' creepy bed and the gods catch her and hang her upside down in the sky by her ankles. The end." I yawn, covering my mouth. "Somebody's-" Excited, tired, curious. Wait, that's me. "Sleepy." I sing again and plant a kiss on his forehead. I think I'll let his hair stay free today.

"Spoiler alert, I have a surprise for you," I smile tiredly, evilly, knowing it was killing her, not knowing what my surprise was. "I love you *yawn* Demetri," I fell asleep

Surprise? What surprise? "Jim, really?" I complain playfully. I raise an eyebrow and crawl out of the lean-to wincing. Spare wood....Ah, over there. I grab it and start to work my special awesome magic. "I'll show you a surprise..." I grin.

I slept quite peacefully, peacefully dreaming about that special surprise

I prop the finished wood between two trees above the lean-to. The corner jabs me in my bad rib and I wince. I stab the wood in place with sharp rocks used as makeshift nails and sit down, resting my back against the tree. "Surprise?" I smile towards Jim, looking peacful and handsome. "Oh, you'll see." I get back up and start crafting stairs.

I drop my head to my chest and snore

I drag the stairs under and start to cut a hole in the upper wood, attaching it to the stairs. My knife fall from my hand and grazes my knee. "Ouch! Crap!" I hiss, ripping off a piece of my shirt to use as a bandage. That would have to do for now. I look over to see if I had wakened Jim.
