After their struggle in the bathroom, neither Mark nor Zack could fall back asleep, unable to agree how they should lie in bed, but they both agreed they were hungry. They had argued over what to where, then limped their way downstairs to the kitchen, and made a horrible attempt at making scrambled eggs with bacon. There was egg everywhere and the bacon had burnt to the pan sending smoke in the air setting the detector off. It was just out of reach with them having to lean to the right, and the one uncoordinated jump they took, had them landing face first. Both of them were fed up, so they opened the window and door and settled on eating cereal.
They had now been sitting on the couch waiting for Max to come back and split them apart. Mark had been phoning Max's cell for the past hour, "Come on Max, pick up! I can't believe he forgot about us!"
"What a jerk!" Zack added, watching T.v.
"Ya! This is the fifth voice message..." Mark hung up the phone and used Zack's hand to scratch his head. He felt it rip away as Zack glared, putting the arm back on the armrest. "Sorry," Mark grumbled, putting his arm on the back of the couch and crossed there feet on the coffee table.
"Do you mind?" Zack sounded annoyed, he recrossed their feet so his right foot was over Mark's.
Mark rolled his eyes and sat up, looking right at Zack. "You know Zack, part of being fused, means working together, and getting along."
"Sorry Mark... I'm just... not used to this..." Zack responded.
"Ya, it's ok Zack, just don't get so mad over things." Mark nudged Zack and grinned, "Think about it. You get to hang out with your older brother all today, and you don't have to go to school! You and me could have a lot of fun like this!" Zack cheered, and hugged Mark, who did the same. They sprawled out on the couch, making sure they were both comfy, and propped their heads up with a cushion. They had broad smiles as Zack leaned his head right against Mark's neck, putting his arm around him again. Mark reached around and was rubbing Zack's side of their chest, then put his head on Zack's as they watched cartoons.
