Waking up in the morning to get the kids up and ready for school was not one of Aurora or Fiona's favorite thing to do, but unless they wanted to be late, they had to. Rory pushed open her bedroom door and headed to the bathroom so she could freshen up before having to head to work. After brushing her teeth and going pee she walked out to see Fi standing there, impatiently, with bags under her eyes.

"Jesus, Fi, it looks like you have fucking black holes under your eyes," Rory said as she took a step back, pretending to be scared.

"Oh shut it, Rory. You look like a fucking prostitute in that dress, by the way." Fi said back as she walked into the bathroom.

"That's exactly what I was going for. How else are we suppose to get money?" She said back jokingly. Fi just rolled her eyes as she slammed the bathroom door shut.

"Well it was nice talking to you, too! I'm gonna go wake the kids up," Rory said as she walked towards the boys room. She slammed open the door as she waked in.

"Come on, monkeys. Seven fifteen," She said as she walked out of the room. When she heard no movement she popped her head back into the room and tried again, "Get the fuck up, children!" she heard three tired groans and left the room with a triumphant smile on her face.

She made her way into Debbie's room and opened the door but was surprised to see her up and playing with Liam while he sat in his crib.

"Seven fifteen, Deb," Rory walked away from her room and headed towards the bathroom where Fiona was walking out.

"I woke up the kids so now we just need breakfast and lunch." She explained to Fi as the boys were fighting over who got the shower.

Fiona nodded, "I get breakfast, you get lunches?" She questioned and Rory nodded walking down the stairs. 

Fiona walked down after her and eventually the rest of the family was downstairs at the table. As Rory was swiping peanut butter onto the bread she overheard Fiona mutter "Shit" while looking at the calendar. Rory walked her way over to where Fi was looking and saw the sticky note that said Electric Due .

Fiona walked over to the board that was hanging on the wall and grabbed the bill, bringing it over to the table with the box that the money went in.

"Electric" Fiona said as she set the box and paper on the table.

"Yeah" Lip said as he reached to grab the cheerios.

Rory turned around to grab a brown paper bag but was almost knocked over as Ian ran through the kitchen with Carl on his back.

"Holy shit." she muttered as she grabbed a brown bag from the pile on the counter.

After the lunches were all finished she handed the bags to the kids and walked back over to the table.

"Electric." Lip said as he passed around the box after putting his money in it. Rory emptied out her pockets and quickly shoved whatever she had left into the box.

"Electric." She said as she passed the box to Ian. He passed the box to Car who then passed it to debbie.

"No, you got a happy meal on the front of that shirt." Fi says as she points to Carl looking at the gross food splattered across the front of his shirt.

"Field Trip. Need dad's signature." Ian said as he slid the paper to Debbie. She signed the paper and slid it back to him when she was done.

"Arms up." Fi said to Carl as she pulled off his shirt, turned it inside-out, and then put it back on him again.

"Wow, Deb, that's getting really good." Lip complimented as he saw the paper.

"Who's got the phone?" Fiona asked as she stood in the kitchen.
