MHA #16 - Saturday Morning

[anomaly_research_nerd]

When Connor awoke that morning it was to two nearly immediate realizations. One was he was lying on the floor by the couch tangled up in his usual blanket. Two was Rex who was sitting on the back of the couch chirping curiously from his perch.

"Awwww Rex, come on just let me sleep a little more" he said trying to pull the covers over his head. Connor vaguely remembered falling asleep on the couch watching a movie with Nick during their sleepover. He must have been tossing and turning like usual and fallen off the couch at some point. Not that it was anything new.

"Nick? You still asleep?" he called out to Nick who he assumed was under the tangle of blankets still on the couch.

"Oh yes! Rex can help us dig up fossils. I'm sure he'd be great at digging!"

Because dragons known for their flying abilities were such good diggers. There was absolutely NOTHING that could go wrong with this plan!

"It's going to be so awesome, with Rex's help we'll find plenty of fossils," Nick said cheerfully because that was totally how it worked right?

His smile widened, "this is going to be the best birthday ever and I'm going to be five years old," Nick held up his hand to show how many fingers that was.

"Cool! My birthday is coming up too! Last day of the month" Connor said. "And I will be six!" which clearly meant he was the one who would be the responsible one, since he was the oldest. There was absolutely no reason to worry about this!

"That is so cool" Nick exclaimed loudly and Rex looked over a little annoyed at how loud the little humans were being right then, "we should make the fossil hunting a joint birthday party," he declared, "I mean its practically your birthday already," he nodded.

"Awesome!" Connor exclaimed loudly causing poor Rex to finally have enough and jump off the couch and scurry off towards the bedroom. "A joint fossil hunting birthday party sounds amazing! We can hang out here today and have our own little party then tomorrow we can spend all day hunting fossils!"

Nick grinned at that, "its going to be the best birthday ever," he declared, "I've never gotten to do fossil hunting for my birthday before," he said, completing ignoring the fact that he'd only had four birthdays prior to this one, "I'm glad that we can celebrate our birthdays together,"

It was four times to miss out on fossils! Anyone would be sad about that!

"I've never been fossil hunting either" Connor said shaking his head. "But I am going to be a .... paleo.. palta... I'm going to hunt for fossils and dinosaurs when I grow up!" he said, the word paleontologist still being a bit of a mouthful, even for an almost six-year-old!

"And it's going to be so much fun sharing our birthday party! I'm glad we both get to do it together too."
