The sun had risen high, casting its golden glow over the forest. Birds chirped merrily, the leaves rustled in the gentle breeze, and the Pandavas were already up, busy with their morning chores. But inside the hut, one person remained completely undisturbed by all the sounds of nature - Anya. A self-proclaimed night owl, she was snuggled comfortably, still fast asleep, dreaming of a world with unlimited Wi-Fi and endless pizza.

Arjuna, noticing her absence, approached Draupadi. "Has our guest awakened yet?"

Draupadi chuckled softly. "No, Arya, she's still sleeping. Quite peacefully, I might add."

Nakul smirked, "She talked so much last night, and now she's quieter than a mouse!"

Kunti intervened with a gentle smile, "Shh, she must be very tired, especially with those injuries. Let her rest a little longer. I will wake her up when it's time for breakfast."

**The Morning Ruckus: Anya vs. Kunti Ma**

As the Pandavas continued their morning routines, Kunti finally decided it was time to wake Anya. She tiptoed over to the sleeping girl, her expression soft. "Anya... dear, it's time to wake up," she called out gently, nudging her shoulder.

Anya stirred a little but only mumbled, "Five more minutes, Kunti Ma... I'm negotiating with my dreams..." and promptly turned over, snuggling deeper into her makeshift blanket.

Kunti couldn't help but smile. She tried again, shaking Anya a bit more. "Anya, it's time for breakfast. You'll miss all the good food if you don't wake up now."

Anya's eyes fluttered open, her hair a chaotic mess. She sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes. "Ugh... morning already? I swear, mornings should be outlawed," she grumbled, half-awake. She glanced around the hut, then noticed Draupadi standing nearby. "Hey, Draupadi, where's the shower? I feel like I've been dragged through a hedge backward."

Draupadi giggled, "You can bathe in the river nearby, Anya. It's quite refreshing."

Anya stretched her arms, yawning loudly. "River? Okay, as long as it's not freezing cold." She rummaged through her bag, which had miraculously reincarnated with her, pulling out a set of fresh clothes. "Well, thank goodness my bag made it here. Now, off to the river I go!"

**Anya's River Adventure: The Shower Dilemma**

As Anya approached the river, she marveled at the serene view. The water sparkled like diamonds under the sunlight, and the sound of the gentle flow was almost therapeutic. She took a deep breath, stretching her arms. "Wow, this is actually kind of pretty... but how do people shower here? No curtain, no soap, no showerhead... Just a whole lot of... river," she muttered to herself.

Her mind raced with thoughts. "What if there's a crocodile waiting to snap at me? Or a shark? Wait, do sharks even live in rivers? Maybe not. But this is ancient India, so who knows? Anything could happen..."

Suddenly, she heard a rustling noise nearby. She panicked, grabbed a piece of wood that lay on the ground, and brandished it in front of her like a sword. "Alright, Mr. Crocodile or whatever you are... I'm ready! Don't even think about it!"

Nakul emerged from behind a bush, laughing heartily. "Are you planning to fend off a crocodile with that little stick? You can't even lift it properly!"

Anya glared at him, half-scared, half-annoyed. "Hey, don't mock me! Are you sure it's safe here? No crocodiles or sharks are going to eat me, right?"

Nakul, sensing an opportunity for some fun, leaned closer and whispered, "Well, I did hear there's a very hungry crocodile in these parts... maybe even a shark..."

Anya's eyes widened in horror. "What?! No way!" Without another word, she grabbed her clothes and sprinted back toward the hut, her heart racing.

**Back in the Hut**

Breathless, Anya burst into the hut and immediately complained to Kunti, "Kunti Ma, that Nakul guy is so mean! He scared me about crocodiles and sharks in the river! I need a safer place to shower!"

Kunti laughed softly, patting her arm. "Do not worry, child. Draupadi will show you a safer place."

Draupadi, suppressing a giggle, guided Anya to another, more secluded spot by the river, ensuring her it was perfectly safe. Anya, finally relieved, managed to wash up and soon returned to the hut, looking much fresher.

**Breakfast Chatter and Chaos**

Anya sat down eagerly, attacking her breakfast with gusto. "Wow, this is delicious!" she exclaimed. "So much better than airplane food. That stuff tastes like cardboard dipped in sadness."

Yudhishthir, amused, asked, "Airplane food? What is that?"

Anya laughed. "Oh, it's a long story, but trust me, it's not worth it. Let's just say this food is like a five-star restaurant in comparison!"

Draupadi smiled warmly, "We're glad you're enjoying it, Anya."

Anya beamed. "And hey, everyone, just call me Anya, okay? This 'Devi' thing makes me feel like I should be walking on water or something."

Kunti nodded, "Very well, Anya. We are happy to have you here."

As they continued chatting, the peaceful morning was suddenly interrupted by the distant sound of chariot wheels. Anya perked up, her curiosity piqued. "Uh-oh... sounds like we've got company," she muttered, half-jokingly. "Are we expecting anyone, or should I start preparing for another adventure?"

The Pandavas exchanged curious glances, while Anya leaned in, whispering dramatically, "Well, dear readers, can you guess who's coming?"

The tension grew, but the mischievous sparkle in Anya's eyes hinted that whatever lay ahead, it would be anything but dull.
