I went up to Dylan's bag and zipped it open, it was filled with clothing rolled up into one big messy bundle. I spotted a blue shirt so I grabbed it and tugged at it. Again, the clothes were all rolled up together, so I had to pull on it a bit more. Nope. I tried using a bit more force,
"What even..?"
I grabbed it with both hands and pulled harder, I fell back as I managed to pull it out. Gee whiz, I thought, hasn't he ever heard of folding? Gah. I rubbed my back, as that tumble hurt my sensitive back. I closed the bag and left his tent, remembering to zip it closed behind me. I walked across the camp, back to my tent. Dylan was lying down looking up, blowing at his bangs. He sat up when he saw me come in,
"Welcome back."
I walked up to him and held out his shirt,
"Thanks. By the way, haven't you ever heard of 'folding clothes'?"
He took the shirt and eyed me suspiciously,
"I thought I told you not to snoop."
I rolled my eyes,
"I didn't. The shirt was inside the bag you told me about, and the clothes inside were mushed together."
His left cheek filled with air then he let out his breath, in annoyance,
"Folding's a waste of time."
"Can you even fold clothes?"
He balled up his shirt then threw it at my face,
"Of course I can. What kind of idiot can't?"
I pulled the shirt off my head and threw it at him,
"You. Ya idiot."
"Snoop."
"Creep"
"Whoa. Hey, hey hey. Now that's a little too far."
I sighed, and just sat down on my sleeping bag,
"Can you just put on your shirt before some supervisor comes in and sees you naked?"
"But I'm shirtless, not naked."
"No one cares."
"Heartless. Didn't even compliment my abs."
"Idiot."
"Admit it, I'm hot."
"Put on the damn shirt."
"Alright, alright, already. Chill."
He pulled on his shirt, and laid himself back down,
"So. You still want the story?"
I laid down too,
"Yeah. I do."
"Once upon a time-"
"The heck, Dylan?"
"Joking."
"Uggghh.."
"Right so the green light was shining in my face, so I snuck away from the camp and went to check it out. Now, this may seem pretty hard to believe. But turns out. That green light, wasn't a light at all. Ever heard of different dimensions?"
I sat up and looked at him,
"So you're saying that the green light was actually a portal to another dimension, and you went into it to some dystopian world where you got injured? Real funny."
"No, no. I'm serious. But it's not a dystopian world, and I wasn't injured, well I mean, I was, but that was my own fault."
I sighed and laid back down,
"Whatever. Just continue the explanation."
"Well, after I went through the portal to some other dimension or world or time or whatever. I found myself in a huge meadow, with- believe it or not, white grass. And yeah. Apparently acid rain really is a thing."
"First off acid rain is a thing. And second, how does that injure you at all?"
"I wasn't rained on. And it wasn't your everyday acid rain that you see here on Earth."
"And how do you know that it was acid rain?"
"The grass was turning black."
"Riiight."
We then heard footsteps outside coming towards my tent, I sat up and said,
"Dante and Leia?"
"Probably."
