[Scott] Phoning home (tag Ripley, Ami)
Although Scott was certain that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep, he retired with Ami to their tepee when she announced that she was "right knackered." Since he'd told her that Ripley would come and get them after her buzz wore off, they kept their hormones in check and simply curled up together.
It hadn't taken long for Ami to fall asleep. After she did, Scott summoned his sphere to his hand telekinetically. He'd also made sure that Ami was on the far side of the shelter's entrance. However unlikely another attack was, Scott wasn't taking any chances.
The next thing Scott knew a hand was touching his shoulder. He jerked awake, connecting with his sphere and telekinetically pinning the intruder to the inside of the tepee. Alarm and surprise came at him from two sources: Ami and the intruder. The light from his sphere showed that intruder was none other than Ripley.
"Ripley!" Scott exclaimed as he released her and his sphere went dormant. He was simultaneously relieved, embarrassed, and a little irritated. "You scared the crap out of me."
