It has been a month and a few days since the D-Tribe won the Battle of the Bands Competition. Now, it's back to their usual routine. This time, with a new addition.

Right now, the sound of the alarm woke up Ray. His eyes fluttered opened. The first thing he could see was a misty, cloudy vision. His hand reached for his phone to stop the alarm, but when he tried, his palm ended up landing on a cabinet. It took him the next two tries until he finally reached his phone.

As Ray rose into his sitting position, his left hand moved across his eyes. His misty, cloudy vision disappeared and all he could see was a clear, HD quality environment. The alarm in his phone told him it was 6:00am. Ray swiped to the right, stopping the alarm. Then, he placed his phone on the cabinet yet again.

After escaping from bed, his hands gripped the ends of the creamy ivory blanket from the bottom. Then, his arms moved up and down, Ray smoothened the blanket before tucking the edges under the mattress, covered in a white bedsheet.

Afte his bed was fixed, he walked his way to his closet and grabbed the black comb ontop of it. Then, he made his way in one of the corners of the master bedroom and started combing his hair.

The master bedroom has a bed that can fit two people. It has white pillows, wooden brown posts and... well, you already know the rest of the description. The floor is covered with a beige carpet. That's why you're allowed to walk barefooted in this room. The walls were milk chocolate brown with white parts at the bottom. The ceiling was also beige and the big, circular light bulb was hanging above it.

After Ray combed his hair, he did the same exercise routine as usual. In front of the bed. He inhaled and exhaled ten times before warming up. Then, he did the same amount of breathing before doing pushups. This time, he did fifteen pushups. After doing pushups, he rose back into his standing position. Then, he inhaled and exhaled.

After ten relaxing breaths, his body was cooled down. Ray walked out the Master bedroom and made his way to the dining room. One first step in the kitchen and the first thing he saw was an overcooked Sunnyside up egg with rice and a glass of water beside him, ready to serve. Not only that, but there were two more plates on the table. One being scrambled eggs with rice and another being Sunnyside up eggs with rice. But where's Diona?

Maybe she went to prepare for her teaching skills in homeschooling? Or perhaps, she's preparing something else? Ray thought.

Regardless, Ray shrugged and went to sit on his usual spot. Before he could do that, he saw something else placed on his spot on the table.

Placed before the plate was a note. Curiosity washed over his eyes as Ray picked up the note. Words were written in formal cursive form. It read:

I'm off to the living room to prepare a special assignment to give to my children. Have this breakfast I made you. Please, tell your children I made their breakfast earlier.

— Diona

A blush started approaching her cheeks as Ray let out a genuine smile and a light chuckle. He placed the note beside the plate on his left and sat on is usual spot. In his perspective, on his right was Diona's spot. Further ahead was Ralpha. On his other side was Rhea's usual spot.

Ray folded his hands, closed his eyes and let the Lord in Heaven come to mind. He mentally thanked Him for the food that He had given him. After about ten seconds, his eyes were opened and his hands were unfolded. At this moment, he started eating his breakfast.

After his plate was empty, Ray wiped his mouth with a tissue located beside the plate on its right. Then, he carried the plate and placed it beside the sink. He did the same with a glass of water.
