[ 7:09 AM ]

Ace is roaming around the castle hall, looking restless.

Zen stretches and yawns

"What are you doing here, Ace?"

Ace: Nothing much... just been bored.

Zen: Oh... are you the only one awake yet?

Ace: Yeah, looks like it...

Zen yawns

"Okay... wanna help me out with preparing food?"

Ace: Yes!! At least that should be more interesting than staying bored!

Zen: Alright, come with me.

At the training ground, Gaku and Rogue are sleeping on the ground, looking exhausted.

Gaku yawns

"Man... why is the morning so early?"

Rogue snoring louder

"Zzzzzz..."

Gaku shakes Rogue roughly to wake him up

"Man wake up already"

Rogue mumbles

"let me sleep for some time... Fool.."

Gaku: You can't!

Rogue: Get off...

Rogue goes back to sleep

Gaku sighs in frustration

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Zen and Ace are busy preparing breakfast.

Zen: Alright, Ace, start chopping those vegetables.

Ace: On it!

starts chopping enthusiastically

Zen smiles

"You know, it's nice to have some company this early."

Ace grins

"Glad I could help. What's on the menu today?"

Zen: Thinking of making some omelets and toast. Maybe some fruit on the side.

Ace: Sounds good! I'll handle the fruit.

Zen: Perfect. Let's make it a breakfast everyone will remember.

Alan is walking towards the kitchen, still half-asleep.

Alan: I could really use some coffee right now.

He enters the kitchen, surprised to see Zen and Ace already busy.

Alan: Morning, guys. You're up early.

Zen: Morning, Alan. Yeah, just getting a head start on breakfast.

Ace: Good morning! We're making omelets and toast. Want some?

Alan: Definitely. Need any help?

Zen: Sure, grab a pan and start cooking the eggs.

Alan: On it.

Gaku finally gives up on waking Rogue and heads inside.

Gaku mumbles

"Might as well see if there's any food ready."

He enters the kitchen, rubbing his eyes.

Gaku: Morning, all. Smells good in here.
