You had forgotten you were on a tiny row boat however and your sudden jump made the vessel wobble around, making you stumble and start falling back over the edge as you wildly swung your arms around to try and regain your balance.

Just in the nick of time, Kakyoin grabbed a hold of your shirt. "Whoa there!" He pulled you back into a standing position and you breathed a sigh of relief while he chuckled a little worryingly. "You alright?"

You gave him the 'Ok' sign while laughing sounded from your left. Turning your head, you saw Anne clutching her stomach, holding her cap beside her as it dripped with water. She'd dumped water on you to scare you awake, the little demon.

"Alright, you're gonna get it." You hiked up your sleeves and started approaching the laughing girl with a menacing aura, only for the back your collar to be grabbed by someone, effectively stopping you. You choked a little, since you didn't expect it and just tried to plough through, but then you turned your head back to see Jotaro holding onto you, giving you a deadpan stare.

"Rescue is here." With that, you looked to the other side of you to see a sailboat; several people standing near the edge and waiting for you all to start boarding.

"Oh." You squeaked as you realized those men had just seen you bumbling around. Your attention was brought back to Anne however when she made a mocking noise and you narrowed your eyes at her, forgetting about the strangers on the ship above. "Just gimme a second, I just gotta-" You tried to move towards Anne again, planning to give her a taste of her own medicine, only for Jotaro to sigh and just drag you towards the boat with him. You tried to struggle but Jotaro was not letting up and you saw Anne giggle and pull out her tongue at you, going to stand next to Mr. Joestar while Jotaro hoisted you onto the ship with him.

This new day was starting off great.

It took a little while but your brain finally seemed to have caught up with you again, and with that I mean it finally realized you had gotten barely an hour of sleep and was now solely focused on driving you to go to sleep.

You were all standing around on the streets of Singapore, deciding what to do next. Only you weren't really part of the conversation. Avdol was kind enough to let you lean on him so now you were desperately holding onto his arm, your head on his shoulder as you were practically falling asleep on top of him. The others seemed to notice your plight and all came to a unanimous decision to just find a hotel already and spend the day recuperating from the time at sea. They all felt like they needed some respite.

You heard some sort of commotion sounding vaguely like an argument about trash but couldn't be bothered to try and wake up. That was until Avdol patted your shoulder to get your attention.

"We're going to stay in that hotel over there for today, let's go." He sent you a patient smile as you stood up properly, letting go of the man so he could walk without a crutch.

"Awesome, no yeah, good plan." You nodded as if you had been listening all along.

"Did you get any sleep at all last night, Y/N?" Kakyoin chuckled softly and you waved your hand in a 'sorta' motion. He shook his head while Avdol released your shoulder, an amused smile still on his face as Polnareff walked back over to the group after standing across the road doing who knows what.

You were about to start walking when you were tackled to the floor from behind. Letting out a yelp in surprise, you only barely managed to catch yourself with your arms, looking over your shoulder at your back to see a smugly grinning Anne sitting on your back.

Huffing, you just looked back forward with a deadpan look. "You know, I was the nicest human pillow to you last night, why are you treating me like this?" You questioned and heard the girl laugh in response. She shuffled forwards on your back until she was sitting on your shoulder blades, each foot on one side of your head, trying to catch your gaze so you could see her smug look – proud that she managed to tackle someone so much bigger to the floor.

You had a different idea however and just wanted to get to the hotel. With a deep breath, you tensed all your muscles and quickly jumped up, making Anne yell in surprise as she fell backwards.

Catching her ankles, you made sure she didn't fall and started walking as Anne hung over your back upside down, her knees draped over your shoulders.

"O-Oi, let me down!" She yelled out, starting to hit your back to her best ability but it proved difficult in the position she was in.

"No. This is payback. Never treat your pillow bad. Are you guys coming or what?" You turned around and called that last bit back to your stunned companions who were still frozen in their spot. Your exclamation got them moving however and they quickly caught up to you as you just continued to casually carry a protesting Anne over your shoulders, her hair swaying back and forth in sync with your steps.

Once you reached the hotel, you took pity on the girl and sat her down. Her whole face was red and you let out a tired chuckle while she gave you a punch to the leg. You let out a small 'ouch' before continuing to chuckle, to which Anne then quickly joined in.

You all made your way into the lobby and walked to the front desk. "Alright let's see who will room with who." Mr. Joestar muttered and you looked down at Anne, sending her a questioning glance. She knew what you meant and nodded, making you look up.

"Jotaro and I can share a room, we're both students." Kakyoin spoke and Mr. Joestar hummed in approval.

"Hey, I'm a student too." You remarked, feeling excluded. "But I'll share with Anne."

"Good, then Avdol and I will share as well and Polnareff- you'll just get a room of your own." Mr. Joestar turned back to the lady behind the desk once everything was decided and pretty soon, the keys were handed out.

"All right, shower and then sleep." You spoke as you took the key, stretching a bit.

"Shouldn't it be sleep then shower? So that you can be clean tomorrow?" Anne questioned and you looked down at her with a bit of a dumbfounded blank stare before snapping out of it as she grabbed your hand, ready to start walking to your room with you.

"Ehh, details. You shouldn't expect too much from me right now. I'll see you all later." You waved back to your male companions and started leading Anne to your room. Though not before almost missing the elevators if it weren't for Anne pulling you towards them.
