"So what are we doing today?" Tom asked Lisa who was barely even awake. She had forgotten Tom was a rather energetic person -yes, even during the mornings - and wanted to start the day as soon as it began.

"I just want to sleep," Lisa replied, "but I'm going job hunting, so you'll have to figure out what to do for yourself - unless until I get back."

The thought of going job hunting again made Lisa want to just hide away forever. She had to quit her last job seeing as it took too much of her time and wasn't making ends meet.

"Fine, I'll just hang out with your boyfriend," Tom started heading to Lisa's room to wake Michael up, but she stopped him.

"Shh, Tom!" Lisa whisper-yelled, "Don't wake Michael up, he gets really moody if you wake him up, so spare me moody Michael, please."

Tom groaned and rolled his eyes, he was visiting and he wanted to do fun stuff while he still had time and waiting for Lisa to come home after job hunting or waiting for Michael to actually wake up was not in his agenda.

"C'mon, Lis!" He exclaimed, "He won't be that pissed, it's not even that early."

"Not that early?" Lisa gasped, "It's 10:30 AM on a Saturday. That's the ass crack of dawn for people like Michael or me."

"Maybe people like Michael or you should be more active."

"Yeah," she scoffed sarcastically, "I'd like to see that happening."

"It will happen. You just need the right dosis of Tom and you'll be working out every day and being an active person. Procrastination won't even be a word in your vocabulary."

Lisa stared at him in complete and utter confusion. "What even are you?" she paused, "Are you trying to be like my personal trainer? 'Cause that's not going to happen."

"Hey, it was worth the shot," he shrugged.

A girly squeal startled both Tom and Lisa, they tried searching where it came from, but got their answer shortly after.

There stood Michael, just woken up, with the largest grin on his face. He was the girly squeal.

"What's up, Michael?" Lisa asked, confused as to, one, why Michael was up this early, two, why was he so happy, and three, why he squealed like thirteen year old fangirl.

"Remember Amanda?" Michael questioned, not even giving time for Lisa to reply, he was just too excited that his crush from back in Australia had made a small appearence back in his life, "She just followed me on Instagram, oh my god."

"Who's Amanda?" Tom chimed in, "Lisa, is Michael cheating on you?"

"Oh shut up," Lisa rolled her eyes, "Amanda was Michael's best friend/girlfriend back in Australia. Anyway, did you follow her back?"

"Not yet," Michael replied, "She barely followed me half an hour ago, I don't want to seem too eager."

"Oh my god, Michael, you're such a pussy! Just follow her already, you won't seem too eager. You'll just seem like a douche if you wait too long," Lisa pointed out, only to have Tom disagree with her.

"Oh no, bro, you have to wait a bit if you like the girl, you don't want to seem like you've been waiting for this day to happen."

Lisa groaned, "ugh, Tom, shut up, you don't know anything. As a girl, I hate it when someone I like takes too long to reply just to avoid seeming too eager. Honestly, that's the last thing that crosses my mind when they reply right away. I don't actually think the world revolves around me and they're eager to talk to me. So just follow her already, Michael, girl advice is more powerful than boy advice. Specially when Tom is the one giving the advice."
