Friday Astrella Barnes was not the happiest child nor was she over the moon. You see she was the youngest of 5 children.
I know what you are thinking how chaotic will this be how did her poor Mother handle 5 children! But that wasn't the case at all.

You see Mrs barnes was a very systematic woman, you don't get a PhD in physics if you aren't systematic so that's when she approached child rearing. She decided she wanted some of her own so Mrs barnes allocated 4 and a half years out of her career to have four children spaced 18 months apart and when the older two were in primary school and the younger two were in preschool, she went back to work.
Mr Barnes and Mrs barnes had taught their 4 children- Quatumm (Male), Qussar (female), Halley (female) and Orion (male) everything such as reading with flash cards admiting them in maths extra circular workshops and even let them do sport if you called yoga sport.

Mr and Mrs Barnes had their 4 kids and everything went accordingly to plan. Then one day the unexpected happened. Mrs Barnes got pregnant again and there was no time on her schedule for child birth. On the due date she was comited to present a probility on the super hydronic colider opening up a black hole in Bern, Switzerland and for the first time in her adult life, she lost her iron grip on her life.

Now, Mr Barnes was a man of reason as long as he didn't have to get out of his desk. He googled Bern and Maternity hospitals and they realized that there was one a few kilometers away from the conference center.

Mr and Mrs Barnes both breathed a sigh of relief and from then on life proceed as if Friday wasn't even there. Three weeks later Mrs Barnes went to Switzerland for her conference and managed to hold out during her presentation on the super hydronic colider and only the people in the front noticed her waters broke due to pregnancy.

And then Friday was born. And she was named Friday because her parents thought it was the day of the week although it was actually a Thursday but being academics they often got confused on these simple matters.
The people at the birth registry didn't question the name thinking they were Robison Cruise Fans (Which they weren't because neither of them believed in reading fiction.)
