Alice wakes up wrapped tightly in FP's arms. He had snuck in through her window late last night and fell asleep beside her.

She rolls over enough to see his face and lightly trails her fingertips over his cheek. His eyes slowly open and he smiles when he sees her smiling back at him. "Well this is a nice way to wake up in the morning." He says as he kisses her softly.

"I'll say." She looks over at the clock beside her bed and sits up in a panic. "Oh my gosh!" She exclaims.

"What?" He asks groggily, still coming out of sleep.

"It's nine in the morning FP! My alarm didn't go off! You need to go!" She says as she hops over him to start gathering his clothes.

"Shit!" He says, equally as panicked. She throws him his pants and shirt and he quickly redresses himself.

She's got family visiting from Greendale and they're coming to the house for the weekend. They're set to arrive at 9:30 and knowing Alice's family they're always annoyingly late, even early sometimes.

"Alice honey?" Her mom says as she knocks on the door.

"Shit!" Alice whispers as her and FP both shared a panicked look. "One second mom!" She says. "Hurry up!" She mouths to him and he continues doing up his pants.

"I'm done, what are we going to do?" He asks in a hushed voice.

"Just follow my lead okay?" She says and he nods as she walks over to the door, opening it to reveal her mom.

"I just wanted to see if you were-" she pauses when she sees FP in the room behind her daughter. "Oh, hi FP, I didn't expect you here this early."

"Did you not hear me leave this morning?" She asks with a quirk of her eyebrow. "FP and I went to Pop's for breakfast around 7 ish and then came back here to watch a movie. We must have lost track of time." She's rambling but praying to the heavens her mom doesn't notice.

"Oh... I didn't hear you leave." Her mom says with a hint of suspicion in her voice.

"You and dad were still asleep."

"Oh." Is all her mom says as she looks between the two teenagers.

"I was actually just about to leave." FP says.

"FP, if you don't have anything to do today you're welcome to stay. We just have some family coming in from Greendale to visit." Her mom says, surprising both Alice and FP.

FP looks between Alice and her mom before saying anything. "Are you sure? I wouldn't want to impose."

"Nonsense. I'm sure having you here would make it much more enjoyable for Alice."

"Uh, yeah I'd love to stay. If you want me to that is."

"Definitely. My family can be a real bore."

"Alice!" Her mom exclaims. "It's true but don't say that in front of any of them." She says making Alice laugh.

"Got it."

"Alright, I'll call you when they're here." Alice notes that her mom doesn't close the door when she leaves but tries not to think too much of it.

"That was close." FP says as he wraps his arms around Alice.

"I think she's onto us." She says.

"Why do you think that?"

"Just the way she was looking between us she definitely knew something was up, and the fact that she didn't close the door."

"Well at the very least she didn't kick me out and I get to keep you company for the day."

"Thank God for that. My family can be a real snooze fest."
