Tuesday, March 29.

"MORNING DAISY!~" Michin sings, practically bursting my door open.

My eyes open slowly, as a fuzzy image of Michin floats over me. I glance at my clock, and the fuzzy outlines of the numbers 10:00 appear. Shoot, it's time for work.

"G'morning Aunt Lisa." I say, using her name for once. She doesn't mind. I slowly sit up, and realize that she is holding something.

"Wat'cha got?" I question casually. Michin smiles.

"These are for you, to where to work!" She says, tossing the object on to the bed.

"Well, I'm off! Cooking duty waits for no one!" She says, speeding into the kitchen.

I examine the objects on my bed, groaning.

It's a pair of skates.

They are the trainer ones, with four wheels. So at least I won't be stumbling around as much.

They are almost completely green. How did she know green was my color? And just my luck, the laces and the sole are my favourite color, (f/c). The laces don't extend up my leg, but I don't plan on doing tricks with them, so that's ok.

A note is attatched to the lace of the right one. It reads:

_____________________________
Better get used to these.
You have Kitchen Duty Tuesdays, Thursdays,
and Fridays!

Love, your Amazing Aunt!

(Whoops! I sound like Papyrus!)
_____________________________

I wonder who Papyrus is?

I drag myself out of bed, and into the bathroom. The shower water helps to wake me up, but staying up late last night didn't help.

After my shower, I head to the kitchen. Michin didn't cook anything this morning, so I just grab a bowl of cereal. Soon Michin heads down, taking her place at the register today.

I sit on the couch, and swiftly lace up my skates. They fit pretty well, and seem comfortable. I wobble a lot at first, but then I roll to the stairs.

The stairs.

God I am such an idiot! Why would I put on my skates before going down the stairs? What am I supposed to do?

I slowly and carefully place my foot on the top step, holding the rail with an iron grip. I make sure it isn't going to roll, and then carefully place my next foot.

Foot after foot, I make it three fourths of the way down with no problems.

"ANNA IN THE HOUSE!!!" A loud voice shouts.

"WHAT THE HELL!?!?" I scream, my wheels rolling.

My foot slips off the step, and I slide forward. The edges hit my back, but there aren't too many steps left. A second or two later, I am at the bottom, groaning in pain.

"Wwhhhyyyyyyyy..." I groan, tenderly rubbing my aching back.

Anna runs up to me, frantically apologising and helping me up.

"Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry!!!"

"It's ok! It's ok! I'm fine!" I reply. Anna sighs, and belps me up to my unsteady feet. I stumble a bit, but she gives me a firm push to the kitchen.

I roll ungracefully through the doors, earning a high five from Michin on the way. Carson waits for me inside, to help me learn how to operate the machines.
