Chapter 17: Toothbrush


Author's Note:
Be sure to play the song when it gets to that section. :)

----------------------------------------------

After retrieving the extra items that they needed...the Wither Team had returned to the beach, made their clothes more comfortable to wear in the hot sun, and had just about finished the foundation of their shelter. But as they continued to build, they felt that the process was going a lot slower than expected. Most likely because they decided to build their beds before the shelter itself, though they didn't quite realize that. "Well," Ham said, handing a large sheet of metal to Eden, "this is time consuming."
"Yeah, so much for getting this done by sundown." Witherstorm added. "Well, considering the fact that we built our beds  and inspected the old mattresses that we found inside the plane before we started building the foundation of our shelter...I wouldn't be surprised if we spent the rest of our day doing this." Petra said. "But it should definitely be worth it in the end." Their leader wiped a bit of sweat from her forehead, and briefly looked at the progress that had been made...before the sun to find that it was no longer high in the sky. A sleep through the whole night seemed unlikely at the rate they were building in...though Eden had a small idea of how they could speed up the process. "I have an idea, I think we should make this build a bit more fun." Eden said. "Petra, Witherstorm, how would you rate your knowledge on the pop culture of me and Ham's home dimension?" The teammates she called both gave a shrug. "I dunno, six out of ten...maybe?" Petra replied, as Witherstorm nodded in agreement. "Good enough!" Eden said. "Everyone keep working, and follow my lead as you do." The gang proceeded to continue building in silence for another second or two...before Eden went on with her plan to speed up the build.

Baby you don't have to rush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

Her teammates gave her a brief glance of confusion, before laughing it off and joining in the song as well.

Everyone:
We don't need to keep it hush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

Witherstorm:
Stuck in a limbo
Half hypnotized
Each time I let you stay the night, stay the night
Up in the morning
Tangled in sheets
We play the moment on repeat, on repeat

Eden and Ham:
When you're standing there in your underwear
And my T-shirt from the night before
With your messed up hair
And your feet still bare
Would you mind closing the bedroom door (ah ooh)

Everyone:
Baby you don't have to rush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
We don't need to keep it hush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
'Cause I just, I just can't let you go
Give me something I never know
So baby you don't have to rush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

Without realizing it, the Wither Team were coming close to being halfway done with their project. It seemed like Eden's idea wasn't a weird one after all.

Petra:
No need to question next time we meet
I know you're coming home with me, home with me
Sweat like a sauna
Break out the ice
I know you're gonna stay the night, stay the night

Ham and Witherstorm:
When you're standing there in your underwear
And my T-shirt from the night before
With your messed up hair
And your feet still bare
Would you mind closing the bedroom door (ah ooh)

Everyone:
Baby you don't have to rush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
We don't need to keep it hush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
'Cause I just, I just can't let you go
Give me something I never know
So baby you don't have to rush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

Everyone:
I don't want this to end
And there's no need to play pretend
If you stay with me again
Would you mind closing the bedroom door...

Ah ooh!

Baby you don't have to rush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
We don't need to keep it hush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
'Cause I just, I just can't let you go
Give me something I never know
So baby you don't have to rush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

As the sun began to set in a ball of orange fire, the Wither Team discovered that they finished their song...and their shelter at the correct time, prompting them to give a very big cheer as they admired their work. What they built wasn't all that special, just something that would protect them from rain and other elements of nature...though it was definitely an accomplishment, considering that their first attempt to build a shelter didn't go so well. "Great work, guys!" Eden said, as her team got together and put their arms around each other. "Looks like we did get this done on time."
"It'll be so much better sleeping in there rather than outside on the ground." Cloud added. "Yes, but the time for sleep is not now." Ham said. "Now is the time to once again feast...on that massive wild boar that we caught earlier. Who's with me?!" Everyone immediately agreed, and raced to the pile of food that was well stocked...ready to indulge in another big feast as to celebrate the completion of their shelter.
