Today I woke up at about 5:45 AM to the smoke alarm going off, quickly followed by Tamari yelling. Concerned, I groggily slid out of bed and wandered out of my room and down the hall. The noise had also woken up Angie, who was also yelling. The noise was coming from the kitchen, as well as the smell of something burning.
"What's going on? Did someone burn something?" I asked, despite the fact that something was most definitely burning. I rounded the corner to the kitchen, to find Tamari holding a pan. Smoke lazily floated out of the pan, in great contrast to the tense environment around it.
"Yes, Tamari did!" Angie yelled back at me, over the smoke alarm.
"I'm sorry!" Tamari added. "I was trying to make something, and-"
"Oh, yeah, that stove can be a bit finicky sometimes. Throw out whatever's in that pan, and just- uh, sit it in the sink. Ange, open the window. I'll reset the alarm." I've burned many a thing in that kitchen, and honestly, the last thing to do is panic. I stumbled into the laundry room and dragged out the step stool, and found the reset button on the center of the smoke alarm. A few moments later, all was quiet again. I dragged the step stool back to its rightful place in between the washing machine and the wall, then trudged back out to the kitchen.
"Well, I guess we're all awake now!" Angie giggled a bit, trying to lighten the mood.
I laughed back. "I guess so." Tamari attempted to join in with their own nervous laughter as well.
"Welp, we're going to have to wait for that pan to cool down before I can clean it," I observed the no-longer-smoking pan in the sink. "It's pretty early, so why don't we all just get dressed and get, like, McDonald's for breakfast or something?"
"Yeah, I have to get up early for work, anyways," Angie added. Tamari seemed to be fine with that, and excited to ride in the car again. Hopefully today was off to a good start.
(A/N: Sorry this is super short I'll try to make the next one a bit longer)
