Oct 12, 2045 Conny's Shipment

Tick tock, tick tock, the clock strikes and rings at 6:00. The bell can be heard from outside of the Gracefield House. The sun shines on the beautiful land and a new day begins.

Emma opens her sleepy eyes, realizing that it is morning and time to get up.

She springs up and shouts out,"Good morning everyone! It time to get up for breakfast!". The children all get up and started to get dressed for the day.

Lannion and Thoma chase each other around the room.

"Hey, wait for me!"

"No way!"

"Hey! Stop running around the place and get ready!"Gilda yells at them.

"Emma, can you help me tie my shoes?" a few kids cried.

"Of course, just hold on. Don't cry." Emma assures them.

Emma looks around and realized Karma is not in the room.

There she goes again with her morning routine, Emma frowns. I'll talk to her about that later.

The children all rush to the dining hall with Emma carrying Phil in her arms.

"Good morning Don, Conny, and Little Bunny!" Emma tells them.

"Good morning!" The two of them respond.

After saying good morning to her siblings, she rushes to the dining hall.

"Here we are!" Emma says to Phil, but then almost loses her balance thanks to Lannion and Thoma bumping into her on purpose.

"You two...I'm going to eat you!" Emma shouts as she chases them down.

She comes back with Phil on her back.

"Good morning, Norman! Morning Ray!"

"Good morning." The two of them say one after another.

"You seem really energetic this morning." Norman points out. "You didn't even have breakfast yet."

"How old are you? Five?" Ray teases.

"I'm the same age as you guys, and also one the oldest ones here along with Karma!"

Karma walks in saying, "My ears are burning. Were you saying something about me?"

"Ray's basically saying I act like a five-year-old!" Emma whines.

"I wonder what would make him say that." Karma says, being sarcastic.

"Not you too!" Emma says.

"Good morning, Emma." Karma smiles, and walks away.

"Good morning to you too, I guess." Emma mumbles.

Isabella giggles to herself, but Emma noticed.

"Not you too!"

"Emma, can you come here for a moment?" Isabella asks.

"Mom! Ray made fun of my entrance! I want to redo it!"

"Why would you? I love that part about you." Isabella says.

"You love that I'm five years old on the inside?" Emma asks.

"That you care so much for your family." Isabella says as she caresses Emma's face.

"Thanks mom!" Emma smiles, feeling better after the compliment.

After the table was set, Emma goes to sit down by Karma.

"For the record, you seem to act older than your age." Emma comments
