The Moon Shines when the Sun Isn't Around

Oreo Part 14

Scene: Oreo's Bedroom – Saturday Morning**

*The sunlight filters through the curtains, casting soft rays across Oreo's room. Her phone buzzes on the nightstand, breaking the quiet of the early morning. She stirs, blinking slowly as the reality of the weekend settles in.*

**Oreo (thinking):** _Finally, a break from school. I can relax and just enjoy myself!_ 
*She stretches, feeling the comfort of her blankets wrapped around her. The memory of her video call with King brings a smile to her face.*

*She sits up, brushing her hair out of her face, and reaches for her phone, noticing a text from King.*

**King (texting):** "Morning, sleepyhead! Ready to conquer the weekend?" 
*Oreo chuckles, quickly typing back.*

**Oreo (texting):** "Good morning! You know it! What's the plan?" 

*As she waits for his response, she swings her legs over the side of the bed and pads across the cool floor to her closet. She pulls out a comfortable oversized sweater and a pair of leggings, excited for a day of casual lounging.*

---

*Once dressed, she heads to the kitchen, the scent of coffee wafting through the air as her mom prepares breakfast.*

**Oreo's Mom:** "Good morning, Oreo! Sleep well?" 
**Oreo:** "Yeah! I had the best dreams." 
*Her mom raises an eyebrow, a knowing smile creeping across her face.* 

**Oreo's Mom:** "Boy dreams or girl dreams?" 
**Oreo:** "Just friend dreams, Mom. No need to worry!" 
*They both laugh, and Oreo grabs a bowl from the cupboard.*

**Oreo:** "What's for breakfast?" 
**Oreo's Mom:** "Pancakes and bacon. Your favorite!" 
*Oreo's stomach growls in response, and she pours herself a bowl of cereal while waiting for the pancakes to finish cooking.*

---

*After a few minutes, the table is set with a stack of fluffy pancakes, sizzling bacon, and a small jug of maple syrup.*

**Oreo:** "This looks amazing!" 
*She digs in, relishing the taste of her mom's cooking.*

**Oreo's Mom:** "So, any plans for the day?" 
**Oreo:** "Just hanging out with King, maybe gaming later." 
**Oreo's Mom:** "That sounds fun. You two seem really close." 
*Oreo feels her cheeks warm at the thought of King, a smile creeping onto her lips.*

**Oreo:** "Yeah, we are. He's a great friend." 
*Her mom watches her with a hint of curiosity, but Oreo shifts the conversation back to breakfast.*

---

*After breakfast, Oreo heads back to her room, checking her phone again. King has responded to her earlier text.*

**King (texting):** "How about a gaming marathon today? We can take breaks and watch some shows too!" 
*Oreo's excitement grows as she types back.*

**Oreo (texting):** "That sounds perfect! I'm in!" 

---

*She spends a few minutes cleaning her room, tossing clothes into the hamper and making her bed. She puts on a playlist of her favorite songs to set the mood, the upbeat tunes making her dance around the room as she tidies up.*

**Oreo (singing along):** "'Cause you're the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh!" 
*She twirls, her heart light as she loses herself in the music.*

---

*Once her room is presentable, she grabs her gaming setup—a comfy bean bag chair, her Xbox controller, and snacks she prepared earlier in the week. She sends a quick text to King.*
