Wolf and Scarlet get up at 6.
Scarlet starts making breakfast while Wolf feeds the animals. Iko got up with them, so she's helping Scarlet with breakfast.
The others are still asleep.
Iko finishes setting the table so she goes over to Scarlet.
"I set the table. Now what should I do?" Iko asks.
"You can make waffles if you want," Scarlet replies.
"Sure. How do I do that?"
Scarlet grabs the waffle maker and the bowl of batter. Scarlet grabs a one fourth cup measuring scoop and hands it to Iko.
"Just scoop batter into that and pour it into the maker. Close the maker until you see steam, then use a fork to take it out. Simple."
"Got it."
Scarlet goes back to making the bacon and cutting everything up for the omelettes.
"Where'd Wolf go?" Iko asks.
"To feed the animals. It shouldn't take him too long."
"Do you guys always get up this early?"
"Usually. There's a lot of work to get done."
"Cinder and Kai almost never get up this early."
"Well they'll be getting up once Wolf comes inside."
"I bet they will love that."
"They'll be fine."
Scarlet grabs a plate and puts a paper towel on it. She places the crispy bacon on top.
She hands Iko a plate to put the waffles on.
Iko begins making them, burning the first two but not the rest.
Wolf comes in right as they finish making breakfast.
"Can you go tell everyone upstairs that breakfast is ready?" Scarlet requests.
"Sure. Are they all still asleep?" he asks.
"I believe so."
He nods and goes upstairs.
"Can you go get Thorne and Cress?" Scarlet asks of Iko.
"Sure!"
She skips out.
Scarlet sets everything up on the table.
Wolf comes down with Cinder, Winter, Jacin, and Kai.
"Good morning," Scarlet smiles at them.
"Good morning," Kai replies.
They sit at the table with Wolf.
Iko brings a smiling Cress and a not so happy Thorne into the house.
They sit.
"Morning guys," Cress happily greets.
A chorus of good mornings reply.
Scarlet puts the food in the center and sits. Everyone starts to eat.
Scarlet notices how tired Thorne is acting.
She grins.
"Get enough sleep Thorne?" she teases.
"No. I want to go back to bed," he complains.
"Too bad. We went to bed at a decent hour."
He mumbles so she can't hear what he says.
"Did you guys not go to bed?" Kai asks.
Cress blushed.
"We went to bed when we wanted to," Thorne answers in a defensive way.
Scarlet tries to hold back a laugh and Cinder grins.
"It's not like that!" Thorne blushes.
The girls laugh. Well, except for a tomato red Cress.
"I'm getting the juice," Wolf interrupts while getting up, understanding and wanting to end the conversation.
"Do you have any plans for today?" Kai asks.
"Nope. Just hanging out with you guys," Scarlet replies. "Why?"
"I was just wondering so we could leave if you guys needed us too."
"No no. You guys can stay as long as you want."
"Thank you."
"Of course. You're all family to us now."
He smiles along with everyone else.
Wolf sits back down with his tomato juice.
"I was thinking maybe we could go to a diner for an early dinner later and stop at a few shops before you guys leave," Scarlet suggests.
"That sounds fun," Cress agrees.
"Let's do it," Cinder decides.
Scarlet tells the crew about the different shops while they eat.
By the time they finish breakfast, they decide where they want to go.After walking around a public garden and museum, Scarlet brings the crew to the tavern where Emile works. They all enjoy their food and chat. They even get Emile as their waitress. A few guards came to watch over them all, especially Kai and Cinder.
Once they're finished with their drinks they go to the nearby gift shops.
They go into one of the import shops.
It has lots of jewelry, clothes, and decorations.
"This shop is too girly," Thorne complains.
"We'll go to other shops too you baby," Scarlet sarcastically replies.
"I'm not a baby."
"You're whining like one."
"I'm not whining. I'm simply stating-"
"Shush."
He huffs.
Iko helps Cress pick out a fairy port holder, then they move on to a tourist gift shop.
The boys enjoy this one more.
Cinder gets a towel with the Eiffel Tower on it.
Kai and Thorne both get a coin with the tower on it and the location name on the other side.
Iko and Winter find matching pink flower crowns with wiring that represents the Eiffel Tower.
Scarlet and Wolf don't get anything.
After everyone's done shopping Scarlet and Wolf bring them to a snack and candy shop.
Scarlet and Wolf buy each of them a candy. They also get half a baguette, some chocolate mousse, and a tarte tatin for everyone.
They bring them to the nearby park.
Scarlet lays out two blankets and they all sit on them.
The guards sit on a bench nearby.
They put all the food out.
"You really didn't have to buy us all of this," Kai feels bad.
"We don't mind," Scarlet assures.
"We can pay you back if you want."
"No Kai. This is a gift from us. Just enjoy it."
"Ok. Thank you."
"None of you have to thank us. It's our pleasure."
"Then thank you for being such a good friend," Cress comments.
This makes Scarlet smile.
"You too Wolf," she adds.
He smiles his toothless smile as well.
Scarlet opens the mousse and gives everyone their spoons.
"Let's start with this," she decides.
They all eat the rich, creamy mousse.
Wolf gives everyone their candy and tarts tatin, then rips some of the bread off for himself.
"Do you guys need anything else for the wedding?" Cinder asks.
"I don't think so," Scarlet answers. "I'm pretty sure we've bought everything we need for now. We'll have to get some more stuff closer to the wedding."
"If you guys need any help with it just ask us and we'll gladly help."
"Thanks."
They continue to eat and talk.
Two kids come to the park and start playing soccer together near them.
Thorne watches them play while the others talk.
One of the kids kicks it off from the front of his foot and it goes towards Cress.
Thorne sticks his foot out and stops.
"Sorry!" the kid shouts.
Thorne gets up and kicks it back.
The rest of the crew looks as Thorne goes over to them.
The kids look at him a bit scared that they'll get in trouble.
"Let me see the ball," he orders.
The kid hands it to him.
He drops it by his foot then points at the tallest of the kids.
"You, go over by that trash can," Thorne commands.
The kid jogs about twenty feet away by the trash can.
Thorne kicks the ball right to him.
"How'd you do that?" the kid who almost hit Cress asks.
The other kick comes back over with the ball.
"You have to use the side of your foot, not the front. It's easier to control."
He shows them by lightly hitting it.
"Oh wow thanks," the kid appreciates.
"Wanna play with us?" the tall kid asks.
"Well I'm actually here with some friends."
"They can play too."
"Really?"
"Sure. We needed more kids to make teams anyway."
"Alright. I'll go get them."
He goes over and tells them about the game.
"I don't want to play soccer," Cinder complains.
"Too late. I already said we would. And when captain makes an order it must be followed."
She rolls her eyes.
"Come on, it'll be fun," Cress encourages.
"Fine."
Thorne grins.
Cinder gives him a look.
"I'm not doing this because you told me to," Cinder promises.
She walks past him.
They all walk over to the kids.
The kids divide the teams up.
On one team is Thorne, Cress, Scarlet, and Kai with the two kids. The other other team consists of Wolf, Jacin, Cinder, Winter, and Iko. Once they go over the rules they start playing."Oh yeah!" Thorne celebrates his teams win as he high fives the kids.
They won by three points. The two kids are smiling big.
"Thanks for playing with us," the tall one appreciates.
"No problem. It was fun."
"You really helped us."
"Good."
"We better get home. Will you be here same time tomorrow?"
"Not tomorrow."
"Aww."
"Maybe sometime soon ok?"
"Alright. Bye!"
They both wave then run off.
Thorne watched them, smiling.
"Thorne made some little friends," Scarlet teases.
"I was just helping them out."
"You're actually not that bad at soccer."
"I'm not just an amazing captain, I'm a soccer pro."
"Yeah whatever."
They go over to the blanket and grab it with the leftovers.
"Thank you for today guys," Scarlet thanks aloud.
"It was fun huh?" Cress adds.
The others nod.
"We'll have to do it again soon," Cinder comments.
"For sure," Scarlet agrees.
They all hug then go their separate ways for now.
