wait even longer.

Since you're an idiot that doesn't know any better, or just have too much hope in your friend. You decide to wait, for a whole other hour. It gets cold quickly and all the surrounding wildlife has vanished, the frogs are gone, the rabbits have huddled up, the chirping of the birds and a few bugs here and there still remain, but aside from those everything has fled in to shelter. Your friend doesn't show up, and there's no sign he is going to either. You head inside the cave, devastated that your friend couldn't make it. You think about him and how it would have been such an amazing time if he came, but he didn't... maybe he just

"got stuck in a endless loop of work or projects or whatever, he's always working. I feel bad for the guy. He gets done with one thing and as soon as he reaches out to stretch another pile of work right in his hands. he's never free, maybe some time I should help him, then we could explore some stuff together."

Nevertheless, you venture onward into the cave, surrounded by cold, damp plates of rock and a few rough yet colourful stones. Not one of them worth anything good though though on the way out you do find a massive piece of rose quartz worth about $52.47

Being too big to fit in your pocket you store it away in your bag that you brought along with you. Your friend may not have come but to find a treat this big and valuable is like a reward. With a grin on your face you head deeper into the cave before realising if you wanted to venture deeper you would need professional caving gear and probably some actual experience on what you're doing. You turn back ready to head home, you got something cool and there is no reason to stay here now but on the way back you hear footsteps. Light footsteps of something scampering about behind some rubble near the exit. This would be the perfect setup for the killer in a horror movie to **** you, but being the dumbass that you are you decide to investigate it. Lo and behold its just a kitten, slightly bigger than what your hand would be if you were to clench it closed into a fist.

The thing is small, but too big to fit in your pockets and there is a giant, pink rock in your bag that would crush it to **** if put in there. With no other option you hold the cat in your arms, looking down at it and give it a little smile before heading home in a hurry.

"hold on tight little buddy!"

You arrive back at home, the kitten shivering in your arms. You warm the thing up whilst feeding it at the same time. then you wash the thing and put it on your couch to sleep with your jacket over it for warmth as you do not own a cat bed yet, in fact you don't own any pet items yet. Luckily your pay check will be forfeit for the cat's items, but once the sun has risen and the shops nearby have opened once again.

You wake up the next morning.
