The Life Of A Franz Ferdinand Reference

22

I woke up with All Star by Smash Mouth blasting at 7 AM. Strawberry and Paul were watching shrek, for some reason. I was used to this by now. Bob told me Rowan and Cassiopeia had left for the HQ. I was fine with this, I knew both Cassiopeia and Rowan had stuff to do back there. Nick smiled calmly, directly next to me. He is honestly too cute for me.

"Stop being such a tiny puppy." I nuzzled Nick's shoulder.

"Never!" He laughed.

"You are soft and warm like mashpotatos... Do you say snern a lot?"

"That meme again."

"I live to meme again."

"You're so silly after all nighters."

"Whatever."

Strawberry and Paul suddenly left, bringing shrek on Strawberry's phone with them.

"I love not getting any sleep. It makes me feel much too happy about nothing." I smiled.

"You should go eat breakfast."

"Yeah."

I walked into the kitchen. Everyone seemed a little too happy today. The effects of an all nighter. Alex was making pancakes, because for some reason we had pancake mix. I sat next to Strawberry at the kitchen table.

"Hey."

"What up?" She paused the movie.

"That 4 AM wisdom last night was too much, honestly." I laughed.

"Yep. Yep. I win, as usual." Paul smirked.

"You were doing Steven Universe star eyes." Strawberry giggled.

"Who says I can't look cute and magical while spilling straight up truth?"

"You were slamming into a sink repeatedly 10 minutes before that." I laughed.

"You fell asleep at 5 AM!"

"The Emo Conservation Association's meetings usually involve helping the emo children recover from slamming into sinks repeatedly." Strawberry said calmly.

"I'm not even that emo!"

"Whatever you say, pop tart."

"PANCAKES ARE READY!!" Alex cheered.

Strawberry dashed over to grab as many pancakes as she possibly could. She then politely gave me one of them and threw one at Paul quite violently.

"Ever ship something so hard it's unbelievable?" Bob inquired as he sat next to me.

//NICK//: PANCKA

//GLASIE//: what is happening

//NICK//: NEED EVERY ONACKKEA

//GLASIE//: assuming that means pancake...?

//NICK//: EVERY

//GLASIE//: chill bro I'll save you like half of one bc someone aka Strawberry just ate ALL OF THEM

Nick flailed violently into the kitchen.

"Here is your half pancake." I handed Nick half of my pancake, since Strawberry wouldn't let anyone have any.

"I'm gonna go make pop tarts." Paul was crawling under the table to escape from Strawberry's pancake hoard.

"You can't make pop tarts because you obliterated the microwave last night." Bob seemed uninterested in this entire situation.

"Let's not forget toasters are a thing that exists!" Alex chirped.

"Yeah yeah!!"

Paul managed to avoid destroying any more kitchen appliances while attempting to reach the pop tarts which Strawberry strategically placed on the top shelf of the cabinet.
