Following the clearing your plate (as well as Angus’) of every last speck of food, Pony was just getting around to asking for more details about the time you dressed up as a stack of pancakes for Halloween. With no apparent end in sight, you briefly consider excusing yourself to meet up with Tin in your room rather than endure any further humiliation. But you figure that any meeting with it following the incident at the mall would take you away from your guest and cousin for far longer than you’d like. Besides, Tin deserves more than a haphazard check in after you came to learn that it was the one to call in the police at the mall.
Instead, you set your mind to cleaning the dishes and table, trying your best to zone out the conversation. Not long after, you wish Momma a good night, promising her and Rik to put Angus to bed later, and return to Fort Awesome with your cutie cousin and behooved friend.
When everyone was settled in, you proceeded with the previously proposed vod-watch. Lazing about in a maze of pillows, cushions, and blankets while sharing a laptop and <span class="mu-i">not</span> talking about the many mis-steps of your childhood has never felt so right.
In want of something that you all could enjoy, you and Pony came to the same conclusion that Angus ought to like the classic cartoons you both watched growing up. As you alternated searches for your favorite shows, the cartoons went further and further back in time. Eventually your video queue ends up playing random clip montages of various ancient anime Pony knew of that looked like they were digitized from degrading tapes a few years too late.
By that point, all three of you hardly made the effort to even sit upright to watch, let alone change the auto-play option; content to just stay cuddling in the blankets until Angus dozed off in your arms. If you hadn't needed to put the lil' guy to bed, you might have dozed off right there and then too. But you stayed true to your word, tucking him and his plushie in for a good night's sleep back in his room.
You return to the fort thinking about your own bed and how you are really starting to miss it. As fun and relaxing as these last few hours have been, the whole day has been an energy drain in one way or another and you were past due for a recharge.
>"Now that we don't have to watch Angus over, think we can move over to correct sleepover movies?" Pony peeps at you as you lean down near her prone form, reaching for your laptop. "I know a site that streams the worst… or is it best? Well, you know the kind of so-crap-it's-good movies!"
"Well, Ah think-" You interrupt yourself with a yawn. "Yeah, about that… Ah was thinking it's high time we hit the hay too? You should have more than enough space here, and Ah'll be up in mah room if ya need anything, 'kay?"
