{BURST!}

I spring awake as Yellow THROWS open the door with a massive grin on her face.

Yellow: RISE AND SHINE! 

Me: Yellow... How did you get in...?

Yellow: Oh, I've broken into my room lots of times! But guess what, I'm going to the HueMart to get ingredients for BATTER BALLS!

That makes Orange spring onto his feet.

Orange: Hold the hell up, I'm the one who opens the store!

He flees the room so fast, I swear I could see smoke. Pink and Green collectively groan as  they get up as well. 

Pink: I was JUST in the middle of dreamin' about bubble gum trees...

Green: Bubble gum TREES? That's what you dream about?

Pink: Yas! And the bark was PINK! You ever wish you could, like, screenshot a dream?

They continue to have their conversation as they leave the room. Then Yellow giggles loudly and covers her mouth as she walks up to me.

Yellow: Aww, Dominic, look, you've got a little somebody stuck to your arm!

My face turns red as I see that Blue is clinging to my arm in her sleep. 

Me: Oh no... Yellow, please don't wake her...

Yellow: Oooooh, you want some alone time, don'tcha? {winks} Okie-dokie!

Me: N-no...! Yellow, help me...!

Yellow doesn't hear me and races back to the door.

Yellow: Come down in time for breakfast, okay?

She closes the door and that's when Blue decides it's the perfect time to wake up. I quickly close my eyes and pretend to sleep. I hear her emit a sleepy groan and then she stops.

You know that feeling when you know someone's looking at you? 

That's what's happening now.

Blue is looking at me, in this position we're in. I mentally brace myself for the outburst that's about to occur.

And that's when I feel her resting her body against mine. 

What...?

Yep, she's got herself nestled in my chest, which is surprising since this girl is the most socially awkward of the group. But I'm not doing anything to ruin this, because this is the most action I've gotten from a girl, and sometimes things need to be savored, okay?

In the living room, Yellow is humming and singing to herself, feeling so excited about making her (in)famous Batter Balls.

Yellow: ~Batter Balls~ ~Batter Balls~ ~I'm gonna make myself some Batter Balls~

Green clears his throat as he approaches Yellow.

Green: Um, Yellow...

Yellow: What's up, Green? Can't wait for breakfast?

Green: Perhaps we could try something else for breakfast this morning.

Yellow: {chuckles} That's silly! Everyone likes Batter Balls!

Green: Well... It's not fun when you have to actually TASTE the liquid batter.
