(Heads up many instances that I will be bringing up will either be cannon or non-cannon, so.... just putting that out there)

The rays of Gibraltar sunlight pierced my window and face, waking me up slowly. I yawned before meeting Echo's nonexistent face. As I got up, my movement seemed to wake Echo up, as the blue outlines on her body flowed to her face, reconstructing it as she too woke up. She got up and yawned, stretching her arms as we sat up.

"Morning my love," Echo yawned. 

"Morning sweetie," I sighed, getting up and stretching. 

Echo got off the bed and stretched by wrapping her arms around my shoulders. 

"Ready for another wonderful day?" Echo asked. 

"Yes, I am," I replied.

I then politely asked Echo to leave my room as I was going to get dressed. Echo left, and I began putting on my casual clothing. I then walked out and was greeted by Estella, who meowed loudly as she pawed at my legs. 

"Morning beautiful," I said, leaning down and rubbing Estella's tail.

I then walked to the kitchen and grabbed my Luci-O's box, but found it empty. I frustratingly threw it in the nearby trashcan bin and grabbed a box of Sugar Bombs from my cabinet. I poured the cereal first and milk second, threw the spoon in afterward, and finished by placing the box near the bowl so I can do the back activities. Echo meanwhile was observing herself, spinning around to see every competent of her body. 

"I think I'm getting a bit dirty, I'm going to take a shower," She said. 

"Hm? Wait, seriously? You take showers?" I asked.

"Dr. Liao would always give me thorough cleaning sessions during the morning and the night. I asked her when I'd be able to take a bath and she said whenever I get out. Which was rarely,"

"Huh. Do you want me to join you~?" I asked.

"Haha! Nice try, but maybe later," Echo said.

"Alright, see ya,"

"Goodbye,"

She then floated into the bathroom. I had enough soap for both of us but would have to get extra in the future. I ate my Sugar Bombs while again playing the game on the back of the box. This time it was a crossword puzzle. As I finished my bowl I managed to get 5 out of the 15 crossword puzzles and I slammed my head against the table in frustration. 

"God dammit these are for kids, why are they so hard?" I asked.

I then heard the bathroom door open as Echo emerged from the shower. She had two nice white towels on her body. One was wrapped around her waist and one around her head. I don't know why, but her slender design plus the "censored" towel wraps did make the blood under my cheeks rise. Echo noticed this and snickered. 

"Like what ya see?" She asked. 

"Uhhh- Help me with this crossword please," I murmured.

Echo then unwrapped her towels and floated over. I stared blankly at the puzzle while Echo analyzed. She then grabbed the pen that I was using and immediately began scratching off each crossword effortlessly. In less than a minute, she got all 10 remaining crosswords instantly. 

"Done!" She said with a smirk. 

"Wait, what-"

"Honestly, this stuff truly is for kids," Echo said, tossing the pen aside before going to pick up her towels. 

I stared at the puzzle before picking up the box and placing it in the cabinet. I then checked the calendar and noticed it was Saturday. This meant no gym. HOORAH! I cheered as I leaped backward and fell on the couch, sighing happily.
