Tracy nodded. " Thank you for your encouragement. " She said with a small smile.

"You're welcome," he said before a thought came to him as did a mischievous smirk, "Now then...does that mean I have to call you Leader Tracy?" He asked, teasing her.

Tracy grinned."Maybe." She teased back.

Alex chuckled lightly. "And if I don't want to?" he teased right back.

" You don't have to." Tracy said teasingly .

"Alright then Leader Tracy," Alex said, laughing lightly. To anyone else it would seem as if they were flirting, but they were only teasing each other.

Tracy laughed too. She was glad there was a finally a time where she could be this happy.

Alex didn't remember the last time that he was this happy, but glad that he could have some time to smile.

" I better get going. I hope I see you again sometime. " She said when she heard her name being called.

"Likewise," Alex said before heading in the opposite direction of Tracy. Opening the door, he saw a few of his Bishies having a knowing smile on their faces and started teasing Alex.

Taylor had went to bed early. It was great to be sleeping in a real bed again and was looking forward to the journey ahead.

Alex headed into the hotel room quietly, having a feeling that Taylor would probably be sleeping by now. Checking in on his friend, he was glad that he was correct and didn't blame him, it had been a while since he and the others had an actual bed to sleep on. Checking on the others, he noticed that they were also sound asleep. Seeing Max asleep on the chair next to her trainer and her sister, he moved a spare blanket in the closet and draped it over her. Heading out of the room, he yawned lightly.

"You care for them, don't you?" Jean asked, surprising the trainer. Once he knew it was Jean, he nodded lightly, explaining how each of them felt like his own responsibility. Yawning again, Jean suggested to her trainer that he should get some sleep, which he agreed. Once he settled down on the couch, he quickly dozed off. Jean shook her head lightly at the scene before grabbing a spare blanket and pillow for Alex. Sometimes he is just too kind...kinda like you Hiro the martial artist thought to herself before she went back into her Bishieball, knowing that the others had done the same since there was no longer that much room for all of them plus the others.

Taylor slept till he saw the sun coming in the windows, but didn't think anyone else was awake yet. He decided to wait till he heard a few people awake.

Alex slept until the rays of sun fell over the couch, slowly waking him up. Knowing that he had nothing to do at the moment, he continued lying there, content to just be lazy for a few moments.

Carly woke up but didn't feel like getting up yet. She did want to get on the road, but it felt good to relax.

A few hours later Alex reluctantly got out of bed, knowing that he had to get up eventually. He knew that sooner rather than later Taylor, himself and Carly would probably be heading back on the road.

Taylor got out of bed and so did Carly. Sora had slept in his ball to save space for the others. " Morning. " He said.

Alex heard the others come out of the bedrooms and greeted them each with a "Morning," as well as asking how they slept.

" I slept pretty good." Taylor said.
" So did I " Carly said.

"I'm glad to hear it," Alex said.

" It was good to finally sleep somewhere comfortable." Taylor said ,seeing Carly nod her head.

"I bet. I'm sorry it took so long to get you guys out though," Alex said with a small frown.

" Don't feel bad Alex. You got us out as quickly as you could." Carly said .

"I still feel bad about it though," Alex said.

Taylor nodded. He wished he could do something to help Alex and promised himself he would do what ever he could to help.
