"EliasBear, I want a piggyback too!" Mako lifted her arms.
"I'm curious as to who’s speaking," I mumbled, realizing Mako normally didn't use Bear in my name.
"I wonder too," Mako giggled.
"Midnight?" I questioned.
"Maybe. It could be Midnight Unicorn or Mako Unicorn," she suggested.
"Why are you talking in third person?"
"I'm not," she argued.
"Is everything okay?" Daniel and Kai emerged, followed by Jaxson and Junho.
"Everything— ah! Scar! Stop. That hurt," Ethan complained; his face grew red.
"You're being a wuss. Junnie, come here. I want a kiss." Scarlet pointed to Junho who had an amused grin on his face.
"Why does she always call me Junnie when she's drunk?" he asked, making his way to Scarlet.
"It's pretty cute. I bet that would be your name if you were a girl," Jaxson suggested.
"Good to know. C'mon, Scarlet. Why don't we go downstairs so Daniel can undrunk you?" Junho recommended.
"Can I bite you?" she purred.
"Yes. Just not too hard." Junho winked at Ethan's flustered face.
"Yeah!"
"You know, we have company still," Ethan pointed out.
"Meh. You have to give Drunk Scar what she wants or it's a lost cause." Junho shrugged, kneeling for Scarlet, who wrapped her arms around his neck. He rose up, holding her securely on his back.
"I'll see ya guys downstairs," Junho announced.
Ethan sighed, following Junho.
"Elias! We're losing the race. I wanna win!" Mako pointed at the doorway.
Daniel smirked at Mako; Kai snickered at her cuteness as she sat there, pouting.
"Mako, they'll win," I pointed out.
"But...you said if you believe you could win! I BELIEVE!" she argued, blinking her eyes.
"Just pick her up, Elias. I can't stand when she blinks her eyes like that. Hurts my heart," Kai confessed.
I knelt so Mako could climb onto my back. I rose to my feet, making sure she was securely on my back.
"Can you teleport them downstairs without draining yourself?" Daniel asked.
He nodded. "Mako Unicorn's happiness is at risk. I think Kai the awesome knight can save the day," Kai replied.
"Why are you talking in third person?" Mako asked.
We all turned to her as she giggled.
"Remind the others to never let her drink again," Daniel suggested.
"Agreed," Kai and I replied in unison.
"We're LOSING!" Mako announced, frowning.
"Coming, Princess." Kai grinned as Daniel shook his head.
"I'll meet both of you downstairs. I want the others to experience this before I sober them up." Daniel chuckled, turning around and heading out the room.
"Bye, Daniel! Love you," Mako called out.
"Love you more," he replied.
"I think we lost," I announced to Kai, opening up our bond.
"What's taking you guys so long?" Marcus asked.
"Is Makoto okay?" Ryder asked.
"She's fine. They drank another bottle of Baileys though, but we stopped them from drinking the vodka," Kai explained.
"And you haven't lost yet, Junho's still on the stairs," Marcus pointed out.
"On the stairs? They left two minutes ago," I countered.
"Yup. Scar's in a deep conversation with Jaxson about how whales will rule the universe and said she won't move until she explains the logistics of her diabolical plan," Ryder explained.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"I'm at the bottom step listening in," Ryder revealed.
"I'm a unicorn, unicorns rule. I'll take over the world, and ban people from bowing hehehehe," Mako sang.
"Let's end our misery," I commented.
"Come down here so I can see Mako drunk before Daniel works his magic," Marcus pointed out.
"Ya, ya. Coming," Kai announced.
I shook my head.
This trip has been something else.
MAKOTO
"I was not talking in third person!"
"And I wasn't kissing everyone."
I crossed my arms, matching Scarlet who was already doing so as we both narrowed our eyes at our group of men who had amusing smiles on their lips.
"Firefly. You made it known that you were the queen of unicorns," Marcus defended.
"Yup. And Scarlet, you bit Ethan's neck, made out with Junho on the stairs before getting into a heated discussion about how the whales would conquer the world by making another flood calamity like in the bible and seizing the moment for world domination," Christian explained.
We both remained silent, glancing at one another before we blushed.
I leaned over to her. "Maybe we can just say we don't remember. Would that make this less embarrassing?" I asked.
"Yes. Just forget this ever happened and pray to the Starlight gods to rid us of this experience," Scarlet noted.
"Maybe I can convince Nightmare," I suggested.
"I'll give Moonlight catnip," Scarlet replied.
"What does catnip do?" I asked.
"It's like alcohol for cats. I'll give you some for Nightmare."
"Those two should go on a date," I admitted.
"I agree. If only Risuki would grow some balls and ask her out," Scarlet pointed out.
"He should. I think they would be a good pair." I thought of the two; both of them always reminded me of Yin and Yang with their opposite colored fur but same exact eye color.
"He's talking in my mind saying he doesn't like that we're talking about his love life," Scarlet pointed out.
"Oh, you can talk to him? I have to try that with Nightmare. I can understand her mews in a sense, but can't directly talk to her yet," Mako pointed out.
"Ya, it's really helpful, but he's annoying sometimes. Can you believe he broke one of my old lamps? It was vintage," Scarlet huffed.
I gasped. "Vintage! Like the old furniture you can't find anymore?" I asked, having read about it in literature.
Scarlet opened her mouth to continue when we were interrupted.
"MEOW."
We both glanced down to Moonlight who showed up behind our log, looking upset.
"Yes. Moonlight decided it was ugly," Scarlet pointed out, not caring about Moonlight scowling.
"Moonlight. That's not nice. It was vintage," I pointed out.
Moonlight walked away, sitting a few feet away.
"Aww. I think we made him sad." I frowned.
"He's sulking for no reason. Where's Nightmare?" Scarlet asked.
"Um, I don't know," I replied, not knowing where Nightmare went off too.
"Mew."
We turned our head back to the ground – Nightmare sat where Moonlight was.
"Perfect timing, Nightmare. Go comfort Moonlight. He's sulking," I suggested.
She tilted her head at me, turning to Moonlight's direction. She walked over, stopping a few inches away. She stood there for a moment before she charged forward, tackling Moonlight into what appeared to be a hug after they rolled around.
"Awww, how cute." Scarlet sighed.
"True love at its finest," I commented.
"I love how the two of them completely forgot about our existence," Christian voiced.
"It's okay, as long as they're having fun," Marcus admitted.
We turned our attention back to the guys; Ryder and Jaxson had returned from wherever they had gone during our conversation; each held a tray with a variety of drinks.
"Alcohol!" I suggested.
Six pairs of eyes landed on me.
"No," they all replied in unison, even Scarlet.
"I wasn't that bad," I mumbled.
