In the middle of the night, Marco woke up with a start. Sighing, he got out of bed and silently made his way down the stairsn. (Stupid nightmares. Come on, was sleep too much to ask for?)

He knew he wasn't going to get back to sleep for a while though, so there was only one thing for it: ice cream. Intent, he made a bee-line for the kitchen.

"Ax, the people in engineering probably think that doing algebra is a good time," Marco snorted. "They probably wouldn't know what fun was if it hit them in the face."

< Spider-Man is part of Engineering, > Ax pointed out. If he hadn't been smiling at Marco, one almost might think he'd said it idly. < I'll be sure to tell him that you think he's boring. >

[livestoannoy]

Marco paused, the desire to poke fun at Ax warring momentarily with the inability to Spider-Man to be anything less than pure awesome. "Okay, so not all of Engineering is boring," he said begrudgingly. "But that's just for like, the small percentage of non-boring people working there."

< Maybe you should come and spend some time down in Engineering, > Ax said loftily. < It's entirely possible that you would enjoy yourself. >

Marco gave Ax a withering look. "Maybe when hell freezes over and Rachel decides to start preaching peace and pacifism," he said dryly. "Besides, I already spend enough time there for Programming anyway."

Ax remained unwithered. < Preaching peace and pacifism is a little redundant, don't you think? > he said without expecting a real answer.

[livestoannoy]

"Redundancy is besides the point" Marco argued. "The point is that it's not happening, Ax-man."

< I suppose that's fair, > Ax says agreeably. < But you're certainly intelligent enough to understand the things we're doing in the other sub-departments. > He winked an entirely innocent stalk eye in Marco's direction. < But of course, I wouldn't want to cut into your time with Sakura. >

"Still not happening!" Marco said, rolling his eyes. Programming at least could be fun sometimes; the other departments were way too boring.

Marco paused. "You'd better not," he said finally, giving up.

< I do have better things to do with my time than harass you while you're 'hanging out' with someone, after all, > Ax said, extracting his hoof from the now-empty water bowl. He turned his tail blade parallel to the floor and slid it beneath the bowl so that he could lift it up to his hands and carry it to the sink. < I hope the two of you have a good time doing so. >

"Me too," Marco said, resting his chin on his hand. The last (and only) time he'd been on a date before, it hadn't exactly gone well.

Then he yawned, and decided that right now it was way too late to even be thinking about any of this stuff. "Okay, I'm gonna try that 'sleeping' thing again. I hear it's fun."

< As have I, > Ax answered, sighing a little. < Good luck with your experiment in restfulness. Hopefully I'll have some too. >

Or else he was just going to go visit the Garibah tree again. Or possibly go run in Hydroponics. He'd find something to do with his time eventually.

"Night, Ax-man," Marco said, getting up from the chair and heading back up to the attic.

< Good night, Marco. >

Ax moved as quietly as he could for the door. Anyone who was going to be woken up by the sound of his hooves in the hall would have probably been woken up by Sakura's entrance, but that was no reason to make a racket this late.
