Rory slipped off into a dreamless slumber. It wasn't long until he felt someone shaking him. "Wake up! We overslept!" Rory stirred, licked his lips, and turned over. "Wake up! Wake up! We got to go!" Rory still didn't wake. Soon Rory felt a splash of cool water down his back. He jumped up, clearly awake now. Rory saw it was Bingo.
"Jeez, not only are you a snorer, but hard to wake up!" he said half friendly, half irritably.
"I snore?" Rory looked puzzled.
"Yes! It was practically all night. Get something to eat, and eat it fast so we can get going."
Rory didn't respond, he just walked towards the food. He still wasn't totally awake yet. If Rory was snoring that ment he was in a deep sleep, and very hard to get up. His mother would always send his younger brothers to wake him, and would let them use any means at their disposal.
He didn't have time to sit and eat. Mostly everyone was done with their apple, or nearly done. Sondo shouted over to Rory, "Since you were the last one up, you can go get the raft ready. We are leaving soon." Rory grumbled, but thought it was only fair. "Well," he said talking to his apple, "I guess you'll just have to wait." He jammed it into his pockets. Marroc came by and gave Rory a hand, and Rory thanked him. Soon they were off again...Rory hoped it wasn't as boring as yesterday.
