The Merriment

Chapter One

It had just been a normal morning for three thirteen/fourteen year old girls. They had a group called 'The Furry Crew' because they were all human//animal beings. They also live in a treehouse!

Twix always woke up early, around 6 AM to start her normal morning routine such as watering her plants and reading her books before anyone else woke up. It was varied from whether KitKat or Fin would wake up before the other, sometimes it'd be Fin, and other times, it'd be KitKat. But today, KitKat woke up before Fin. KitKat stretched for a moment before swinging her legs off the bed and standing up. She glanced around her neatly-made side of the room before her gaze switched over to Fin's side. Fin's side had always been messy unless KitKat or Twix pestered them to clean it up. Twix's room was placed downstairs, while KitKat and Fin's room was upstairs. KitKat climbed down the ladder to get to the lower floor of the treehouse and made her way over to Twix's room to knock a few times before standing there awkwardly. Twix groggily opened her door, which was unusual for her since she was almost always upbeat and cheerful in the morning.

"Are you like... actually awake?" KitKat asked Twix, looking at her sleepy state.

"Umm, yeah. Hey, is Fin up yet? I have to talk to her about sum'n." Twix asked.

"No, she isn't up yet. Why ask her specifically?" KitKat questioned back.

Twix tried to come up with an excuse, "Ah, it's about cat stuff, y'know? Anyway, up and at 'em! What's for breakfast, KitKat?"

KitKat didn't answer, but she did walk up to the kitchen fridge and looked at the contents inside. She grabbed the milk jug and put it on the counter. "Just cereal. I'm not in the mood to cook." KitKat explained as she grabbed a cereal box of cereal that everyone in the treehouse liked.

"Doesn't today seem a bit off? I mean, we're both acting different. I didn't get up to water my plants today, I told myself I'd do it later this afternoon, and you're not in the mood to cook. Don't you think it's weird?" Twix questioned KitKat.

"Hmm, I guess you're right. Maybe it's all just a coincidence." KitKat replied.

"Do you want me to wake up Fiiiin?" Twix said as she poked KitKat's face.
"Yeah, sure. Tell her cereal will be ready soon."

Twix padded over to the ladder and climbed up to enter Fin and KitKats room.
"Fi- eh?? What are you doing, Fin?" Twix said, intrigued, as she walked up to inspect what Fin was doing.

"Cleaning up my room. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Fin said with a smile.

"You never clean without me and KitKat asking you to. Special occasion? Is Kei coming over, maybe?" Twix sat on the edge of Fin's bed, watching her pick up the (majority of) items scattered around her floor.

"No, not until next week." Fin answered Twix's question about Kei.

After a while, Twix and Fin made their way downstairs for cereal. KitKat greeted them at the ladder.
"So, guys. I was wondering, do you want to maybe go explore an abandoned place? It'd be fun, trust me!" KitKat begged. She was always on the braver side of the trio, daring to go first when nobody else did.

"I dunno. It's a random Saturday, I was gonna stay home and read my books." Twix sighed.
"Oh, come on, Twix! You're always up for this kinda stuff! Whats up with you?" KitKat questioned, her voice having a bit of genuine concern for Twix.

"Aww, cmon, Twix! Lets go!" Fin agreed.

"You never wanna go??"

(Around 50 minutes later)

The three got packed up with batteries, flashlights, extra clothing, and water. They assumed nothing would happen, so they didn't bring much.

"Lets go.." Twix said with a sigh. "Are you all ready?"
"Ooh, is Twix being all responsible suddenly?" KitKat teased.
"Shuddupppp.." Twix replied, and Fin burst in the conversation saying,
"Lets go!!"
