Mitch's POV

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Ugh." I groan, and bury my face back in my pillow.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

"No. My pillow is forgiving. You, alarm, are not forgiving." I mumble into the pillow.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Fine." I grudgingly sit up, and switch the alarm off. "I get it, you stupid alarm."

I rub my eyes, yawn, and stand up, surveying the room.

My eyes half-closed, I walk over to the closet.

Well, actually I tried to walk to the closet. I ended up hitting the wall.

"Ow."

I get dressed, and look out of my window. The sun is slowly starting to rise above the mountain, coloring the black, starry sky a light pink.

Not many recruits get up at this hour. In fact, only the Team and night-shift guards are up by now.

I walk out of my room into the hall, towards Jerome's door. I know he's still asleep. He's trained himself to ignore his alarm.

Sometimes I wish I could say the same, but then who would wake up Jerome?

I pound my fist on the door. "Jerome! Get up!"

No answer. Dang you, Jerome!

I slowly open the door, and see my fuzzy friend passed out on his bed.

"Jerome! Wake up!" I call, but he doesn't wake up.

I walk over and shake his shoulder. "Jerome! Get up! It's morning!" I switch off his alarm.

Still no answer. I sigh, and slap my hand on my forehead. This guy could sleep through a bombing.

Since nothing else has worked, I run downstairs to grab a bucket. Quinten and Jason are already at the table, eating breakfast.

"Hey guys." I greet them, and grab a bucket, placing it under the faucet in the sink.

"Hey Mitch. Waking up Jerome?" Quinten asks. Jason waves. I'm not surprised when Quinten knows what I'm doing. I've done it before.

"Yeah. That bacca could sleep through-"

"We know, we know. A bombing." Quinten grins.

I turn the water on the coldest temperature, and wait until it's full.

"Don't forget, Mitch, we're meeting up to talk new ways to find the squid's base at 1 o'clock today." Jason reminds me.

"Yeah, I know. Any new information on where it could be?" I ask.

"Not really. Ssundee's our best lead right now, since he's been there, but he doesn't like talking about it."

"I wouldn't either, if I were in his shoes." Quinten agrees.

I turn off the faucet, and haul the bucket out of the sink.

"See you guys in a few minutes."

"See you, Mitch." Jason says.

"If you're not down here in ten minutes, we'll come make sure Jerome hasn't torn you to pieces." Quinten jokes, and I smile.

I lug the bucket full of water up the stairs, and into Jerome's room. Jerome's still dead to the world.

I lift the bucket, dump the freezing water on top of Jerome, and step back.

Jerome nearly jumps ten blocks in the air. "HOLY-"

I pick up the water with the bucket before it floods the whole house, and grin at him.

A dripping wet Jerome sits on his bed, shivering.

"Not cool, biggums. Not cool at all."

"No, it's not cool. It's freezing." I smirk at him.

"Shut up." He grins.

"You need to get up, dood. Jason and Quinten are already downstairs, and I saw Ssundee and Sky's doors opening when I walked in here."

"Fine. See you downstairs, Mitch." He says.

I walk to the door. "Don't forget, we've got a meeting at one o'clock." I remind him.

"Yeah, I know."

I grin, and shut the door.
