I jerk awake as my alarm clock turns on. Unlike most, I have mine set to play a radio station so I usually get music instead. Rubbing my eyes, I glance at the clock - 6 am. Oh, joy. Wait - SOCCER PRACTICE!!! I snap awake and jump out of bed, turning on the light and opening my cabinet. Inside is my clothes and soccer uniform. Wait, this looks different... Replacing my uniform made by Unicity is one, once again, made by the one and only Unicity. At least, I think so... The handiwork appears to be stitched right, and the fabric soft. But, isn't it just a tad thick? The inside feels like fleece! Rolling my eyes, I just reach for the one I had brought with me to California. Perfect! Hmmm... what to do with these wings... Pacing in front of the mirror, it finally comes to me.  Grabbing an ace bandage (you know, one of those rreallllyyyyy long stretchy pieces of fabric you use to hold an ice pack to your leg or something so you don't have you reach down for two hours), I take off the metal clip and take one side. Holding it against my stomach, I tightly wind the bandage around myself all the way up to the top of my wings (not every feather was in place, but it'd work) before stopping when the length ran out. Then, I snatch the clip and snap it in place. Hey, not bad! Only problem is that it might be a bit hot. Well, it's worth it. Pulling on my uniform, I grab my soccer bag and head downstairs. Flit, Twi, and Jackie are already up. Groaning, I drop the bag and spin on my heel before heading back upstairs.

"Hey, up and at 'em! We have practice!" I shout, knocking loudly on the door.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm coming!" Unicity yells. Good, she's awake.

"Whazzat? Fivmorminzzzz" Peony responds. Oh, no you don't! Gripping the handle, I slowly open the door, sneaking inside. Being as quiet as possible, I 'access my inner ninja' and tiptoe over to her bed. Peony remains motionless. Good. In a split second, I have her pink-balloon-covered blanket in my hand a good ten feet from the bed. Peony shrieks and sits up. Well, now she's awake... Laughing, I turn on her room light, making her squint at me before leaving.

"Don't forget, be as fast as possible - we need the practice after last week!" I yell over my shoulder. Who else.... Unicity. Going over to her door, I knock.

"Come in, Dash!" She shouts. Phew, I don't have to wake her up, too. Entering ze olde room, I spot Unicity in front of the mirror, staring at the new uniform in her hands.

"Oh, yeah, I'm not wearing that. I know you make awesome clothing, but -" I start, but quickly get interrupted.

"But, Dash, I didn't make this," Unicity says, confusion covering her face. Huh. I thought for sure it was her! I guess not.

"Well, just wear your other one, then," I shrug, and she shrugs also. I leave the room wondering who I'm forgetting. Let's see... Flit, Twi, Peony, Unicity, me. Oh, and Jackie. Looks like we got everything under control. Heading back downstairs, I see that Flit has made breakfast - waffles with peanut butter and blueberry syrup. Oooooh yum! With the peanut butter, that should last us a while, giving us more energy as well. Going over to the fridge, the grape juice seems to be calling my name. It's too strong to resist.... snickering to myself, I pour myself a glass and join them at the table. And..... I see I already have a glass. Everyone starts laughing, and my expression is 'Really? Wowwwww' before I join in. Opening the fridge, AGAIN, I put the cup on the shelf and sit down at the table. Breakfast time, anyone??

Hi everyone! Super sorry this is a short update, but I've had SOOOOO much homework in 8th grade. Like, a ton. I didn't do any today...... Cause we don't have school tomorrow! Yeah, I admit it, I'm a lazy person. I guess that's just why I'm awesome ;) We, sadly, do NOT have an actual soccer team at our school. Yes, it is very sad. I'm not the greatest at it, but then, I've been in health class instead of gym for the last few weeks. Luckily, I'll be back Monday - and I hear we're doing soccer!!! Hey, try out the breakfast idea, just the waffles. It actually IS good. Please show some support, and slap dat like button! Also, check out these awesome people:
