Look at the video on the side for the best song ever made (it's the bacon pancakes song)

Give me one night (and a bit of the afternoon) to sleep, and I become a live Duracell battery. I was up by 5am with extra energy so I took a shower, put on a crop top, shorts and a snapback with converse & ventured downstairs to make breakfast.

I was just gathering supplies for pancakes when I spot somebody by the kitchen door. "Good morning!"

"Hello" Lucy smiled, rubbing her eyes. This one was beyond me; even at the asscrack of dawn, she was cheery. Well I was too, but if I had normal sleep, I would be telling people to go away. "Why are you up so early?"

"I slept so much that my energy is fully topped up, so I decided to make breakfast" I said. "How about you?"

"I can't sleep because someone has literally used the duvet as a cocoon and left me out I the cold" she chuckled. "Can I help out?"

"Of course, I think Piper has bacon- ooh you know you're on grocery duty right?"

"Sadly yes, and yeah-" I gasped. "We could make bacon pancakes!"

We both stared at each other before I passed her a wooden spoon. We both starting to belt out the tune.

"Bacon pancakes, makin' bacon pancakes, Take some bacon and I'll put it in a pancake, Bacon pancakes, that's what it's gonna make, Bacon pancaaaaaaaaakes!"

We both couldn't help but laugh at each other. Maybe Lucy wasn't as bad as I pictured her to be.

"Finally an adult that watches Adventure Time!" I exclaimed.

"Watch it?! I live for it!" She giggled. "Let's get this bacon cookin'!"

One by one, they appeared and sat down at the table looking confused as to why we were both cooking AND dancing all at once.

Ross looked the most confused. "So I wasn't dreaming when I heard you guys singing"

"Not at all" I smiled, adding the last stack of bacon pancakes to the table and taking a seat between Luke and Rydel. "How did you sleep?"

"Pretty well; I didn't even realise you went" he poked my nose and I grinned at him. "You look great"

"Thank you, you look like you got hit by a truck" I fluffed up his hair. "But in an adorable way"

"Gee thanks" he shook his head as I hugged him. "Kidding"

Quickly, he pecked my cheek. Riker shouted.

"What?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"I thought you were related!" He laughed.

"My only sister is Jenny, dummy" I stuck my tongue out at him and he returned the favour.

Breakfast was gone within minutes and soon after, everybody sat in silence just rubbing their bellies. I looked at everybody individually.

"We all look like we're 75 right now" I commented, laughter rising up from them all.

Ross clapped his hands. "Better go get them groceries done. Craving dat food; you ready?"

"Huh- oh, yah" I stood up, only now noticing how keen the others looked. "We will be back in a few, can't take very long to round up groceries"

"Probably not" Ross shrugged, and I followed him out to his car. It was different to the one he had when we were together.

He initiated conversation. "How's your head? I take that it's improved, because you're so bubbly"

"Yeah, it's better; do you know where you're going?"

"I know The Hamptons like the back of my hand" he boasted. "Wait I took the wrong exit"

I was laughing until he did a wild swerve which winded me momentarily. He chuckled. "Rookie"

"I use Uber in New York"

"Fancy" he giggled. "But anyways, do we have a list?"

"No, so anything and everything" I shrugged. "I fancy some cake"

We arrived at the supermarket quickly and right from the entrance, we started to pile groceries into the cart. Whilst he was admiring what I believe was sushi, I jumped on his back.

"Oh!" He yelped. "Okay, okay"

"I really can't be asked to walk, I'm sorry" I adjusted the snapback on my head. "Oooh Oooh- get them shortbread biscuits!"

"They remind me of when you were pregnant and would force me to get these at like midnight" he laughed.

"Only because you ate half of the packet when you got home!" I pinched his cheek. Then silence settled. "You never got over it, did you?"

"I miss her everyday"

I sighed, laying my head on top of his. "Me too"
