" MMM." Elle yawns as she stretches.

" Good morning, beautiful." Hunter says as he too stretches.

" Jay is still sleeping so, um, please keep it down." April says, starling Hunter and Elle.

" WHEN DID YOU GET UP!?!" Hunter exclaims, looking at April and Donte who have started making breakfast and have completely dressed.

" Six. Why?"

" SIX?!?"

" That's too eeaarrlllyyy" Jay yawns.

" Morning, sleepy head." April says, poking Jay in the nose. " Boop."

" Hey Donte, where did Lillie go? She was ju-"

" Hey guys!" Lillie walks through the doorway, her red hair seems to sway like the skirt to her cherry print dress.

" Nice dress, Lillie. Did I design it?" April laughs, putting her pencils down.

" Guys we should eat before our food gets cold, then we'll plan our adventure!"

"Adventure? Donte do you even hear yourself?"

" What?!? Look April, whether you like it or not we'll always find an adventure, now let's eat!"

" But I'm pretty sure we all had enough adventure for one week but ok, let's have another one! And you know it won't go as planned. It never does." April says, looking at everyone who's getting their things and going to separate rooms. Hunter and Elle are the aggressive flirty couple out of the group, Jay and April are simply just flirty, and Donte and Lillie are pretty much your everyday couple. But despite their differences, they are the best of friends, most of the time....

"Why don't we go to the m-aaalll?" Elle yawns again.

" Alright! Let's go! Plus it's the half off sale at Pandora's Box!" April says.

" Do we have to go?" The boys say in unison.

" Yes." all the girls reply. Outside the sun is shining and Hunter sits staring out the window. Elle changes his bandages and gets April to help with hers.

"April... I need to help with my hand."

" Ok!"

April changes Elle's bandages and dragges Jay out into the grass.

" Why'd you drag me out here?... It's so bright!"

" Cause you need to wake up. Plus we're going out. ALL of us." April says, struggling to keep Jay outside in the sunlight.

" I wanna go inside...pleaseee?" Just then everyone walks out of the building.

" Aw man.. I wanted to go inside."

" Too bad, Jay. Get up." April says, holding out a hand. Jay jokingly takes off his mood ring and puts it on her finger. He gets up on his own.

" Let that ring be my promise, I love you April..."

" You said the same thing to Elle, Jay."

" ....i- i did?.."

" Yes you did duface." April says, pushing Jay jokingly.

" April give him a break!" Elle says as Hunter picks her up and spins her around.

" Ok.... Plus I was teasing again."
