Chapter 4 [OFFICAL]

Time is 7:30. Phone ringing.

A hand reaches for the phone and answers the caller, putting it next to her left ear. Yes, she says. Luna was still feeling sleepy as she sat up. She made humming noises as she adjusted. Her mind and eyes were not at full capacity, as of yet.

Upon listening to the caller, it was then that she realized who the caller was.

"Boss!" She exclaimed. She stood up, and suddenly bumped her head.

"Och, damn you!"

Caller: What was that?!

"Nothing sir will be right there!" Luna said acutely.

Caller: I expect no lateness.

"Yes we won't be late, promise sir," Luna said lastly and the phone died.

Ssssshhhhh — Luna hushed.

"Where is Alice at? Need to wake her up."

Luna found Alice sleeping on the couch in the living room when she came out of her room. Why was Alice sleeping on the couch? Apparently, it was the night before, and the two friends — Alice and Luna — were walking from the restaurant to the apartment. The two were drunk (mostly Alice) but they made to the apartment — safe and sound. Since Luna couldn't move Alice anymore, it was enough to put up with it, and so, Alice was lied on the couch for the rest of the night. It was then that she proceeded for her room. Tired and exhausted.

"Hey Alice, wake up!" Luna tapped Alice's shoulder in an attempt at waking her.

"J-just...ghibe me t-ten, miutes," Alice mumbled.

"She won't be woken up that easily..." Luna then thought of an idea. "I've got it," she flicked her fingers.

She went into the kitchen and then came back with a bowl full of water (and you might know where this is going).

SPLASH! — she directly poured the water on top of Alice who was sleeping quietly. Eventually, she was woken from the cold shivering nature of the liquid.

"HAAAAA!" Alice freaked out.

"W-what happened — wait," Alice looked around and saw Luna standing just close to the couch.

"Sorry about this Alice, but we have to get ready," she handed Alice a towel. "Get washed up and quickly; our boss wants us to be at the station ASAP. Word has it, he might have what you've been waiting for," She then went her separate way to get ready as well.

Alice stood up and went into the bathroom. She wiped her face and looked at herself in the mirror. The casual outfit she wore felt a bit rumpled; the blue jeans are still stylish, but the white undershirt shows a small stain from the night before. The light jacket hangs loosely on her shoulders, and she moves slowly, still shaking off the remnants of the night. Her face and hair are in a messy state.

'Let's do this already.'

Racking the washing curtains to the side, she stepped in and slides it back as she turned on the shower nob. Pssshhhh — the sound of water spraying. She took the shower right at the get-go and didn't care much about the water, even if it was cold, or that she was changing — taking off her clothes and all — while she bathed (her shape seen through the curtains with shuttle details).

Fifteenth minutes later — and she is out of the bathroom, partially naked, her body wrapped of a warm and cotton towel. When she got to her room, Luna came in and told her to hurry up. "Alice, hurry up!" She spoke.
