Max was really pretending to be asleep; he couldn't seem to find the
right position to lie down. Thats when he heard Mark talking. He
leaned over on his side, and was surprised to see Zack crawling into
bed with Mark. Zack had said something about 'being lonely.'
Max realized thats why he couldn't sleep either. He was so accustomed
to being attached to someone that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep
by himself. Max hesitantly slipped the covers off, and sat on the edge
of his bed. "Hey Mark... Zack... can I join you guys?"
Zack lifted his head up; he had a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Yeah" he excitedly replied, "the more the merrier."
Mark and Zack pulled the covers off themselves, revealing their joined
chest. Looking over them, Max asked, "How are we going to do this? It
will probably be too awkward for me to join to your chest."
Mark and Zack looked at each other for a minute, and then Mark
replied, "Three-headed it is then. You can be in the middle Zack."
Mark quickly pushed himself away from Zack.
Mark was about to refuse with Zack, but Zack stopped him. "Hold up
Mark. I have a great idea so we can all get a good night's sleep.
First..." He turned to Max, "You and Max join."
Max and Mark glance at each other, but did as Zack said. They quickly
merged so their heads were sharing a seemingly normal body. Zack
walked over to his conjoined brothers, and stood next to him facing
the opposite direction. He pressed himself against Mark's side, and
merged with him. "Now, I can sleep on my chest and you two can sleep
on your backs."
Max turned his head as far as he could so that Zack was just in his
sight. "Wow... this is actually a good idea. I'm surprised Zack."
Zack playfully stuck his tongue back at him. "Alright that's enough
you two." Mark lifted up their two hands to silence them. "Lets go to
bed already." After some coordination issues, the three of them managed to finally lie down in Mark's bed.
"Night Mark"
"Night Zack"
"Night Max"
