Alice stared into the dark water, sitting on a cot with her pen in her hand and her notebook in her lap. She checked her phone and softly sighed, reaching down to grab her soda. She blinked when she easily lifted it, staring at the empty bottle. Oops.

She softly groaned and rubbed her eyes, pushing her glasses up. "C'mon big guy, where are you?"

She yawned widely and rested her cheek in her hand, doodling in the corner of her notebook. She was waiting for Godzilla. According to their charts, it was time for the large Titan to cross the area of the underwater base. And he wasn't showing.

She glanced up as a shark swam by, following it with her eyes. She hummed softly, her eyes slipping close as a pool of fish darted past. Her breathing evened out as she dozed off, her pen slipping out of her hold and clattering to the floor.

Alice mumbled incoherently as she felt large hands gently guide her to lay down. The rough palms were surprisngly gentle as they guided her glasses off of her face. She mumbled softly, reaching up blindly to reach for them.

A deep, rumbling chuckle met her ears and one hand grabbed her wrist, guiding her to settle down. She wiggled as she was tucked in and blinked, staring tiredly at the tall figure. She squinted, not recognizing the man.

He gently petted her hair back, tugging out the clips keeping her bangs back. He reached up, adjusting her pillow to how she liked it. She stared sleepily as he stood up, his long, dark blue hair swaying behind him.

His golden eyes stared at her and he lightly smirked, flipping off the light. She mumbled softly, sleep easily taking her back over. One question lingered in her mind; who was he?

Alice woke up to hushed muttering and a hand shaking her shoulder rapidly. She mumbled and waved them away, rolling away. The hand returned, yanking her blanket off as a voice hissed, "Ms. Alice, wake up! This is serious! Godzilla is acting strange!"

She quickly sat up, nearly headbutting the scientist. "Why didn't you say so sooner?! Where is he? Is he okay?"

He handed her her glasses and cleared his throat nervously, glancing up at the wide window that took over one wall of her bedroom. "Um, he seems quite calm actually. But, he's acting odd."

She frowned at him before slowly following his gaze to the window. She sucked in a breath at the bright, golden eyes of Godzilla staring at her. She swallowed thickly, glancing around at the scientists and military squished into her room. "How long has he been here?"

Another man sipped his coffee; one of the zombies (night shift workers) if she remembered correctly. "He seemed to have stopped there last night, or technically this morning. He's been very quiet as well. The only vocalizations we can figure out are one meant only towards Mothra and a.. song of sorts. It's very calming."

She nodded slowly, her eyes locked onto Godzilla's. "The Mothra noise is his mating call, isn't it? But, she's still in her cocoon."

He nodded slowly. "Yes, we're aware. He also disappeared abruptly during the night, but only for a few minutes."

She curled her fingers in her blanket, taking a deep breath. "He disappeared at approximately three A.M. didn't he?"

The man stared at her. "Yes? How did you..."

Godzilla suddenly let out a noise, slightly louder than the song and deeper. It came out in short bursts and she could see his eyes brighten. The scientists shifted nervously, several of them holding onto recorders. The guards adjusted their grips on their guns, their hands shifting to the triggers.

She suddenly smiled widely and laughed loudly, holding her sides as she slumped over. They all stared at her like she was crazy until she merely grinned at them, breaking eye contact with him. "It's fine. Alright, out! I need sleep. He ain't doing anything and I was up late. Out, out!"

She shooed them out and shut the door, locking it. She turned, strutting to the window and resting her hands on her hips. "Busted, big guy."

His bright eyes twinkled and his spine lit up. He moved his head closer, bowing his head slightly. She smiled widely and rested her forehead on the glass.

"Alright, well I do need sleep. So dim the lightshow. That was a lovely song, though. Keep it going for me?"

He straightened up and seemingly grinned at her, restarting the low tune. His spine dimmed as she laid down, facing him as she loosely hugged her pillow. She smiled widely up at him, easily dozing off.
