Lindsay woke up to loud crashing in the kitchen. The clattering of pots and pans as well as cupboards being slammed shut. It scared her to hear so many noises all at once, but she figured someone was looking for something frantically.

She walked out to see Michael kneeling in front of a cupboard, handing Savana flour, sugar, baking soda and powder. Savana placed the items on the counter and put her hair up, "Oh, good morning, Linds!" She smiled brightly as Michael leaned on the counter behind her.

"What are you two doing?" Lindsay grumbled, "It's too early for loud noises." She scratched her head as she yawned.

"Lindsay," Savana laughed, "It's 9 in the morning. It's not too early. We're making breakfast for everyone when they get up. That's why I had more in my cart than what was on the list. I plan to make breakfast as often as I can. You could argue that it's early for a Saturday and that we all fell asleep around 2 in the morning, so, yes, it is early. For you, at least." She crossed her arms and beamed.

"Were you on the debate team in High School or what?" Lindsay giggled quietly as she rubbed her eyes.

Savana smirked, "No, although, I was a tentative candidate for Senior class president." She turned to the counter, "I'll wake everyone up when Mikey and I finished breakfast, if you'd like to watch a movie or go back to bed."

Lindsay turned to go back to the room, "Don't burn the house down, you two." She walked back to the room to see Sierra up and about, brightly humming a song under her breath. The window was open, lighting the white walls up with a brightness equivalent to the sun. Lindsay squinted as she grumbled, "Sierra, why is it so bright?" She laid on her bed, covering her face with her pillow.

Sierra laughed, "Because it's time to wake up and do stuff! It's the perfect temperature to go outside and hang out. It's before it gets hot and we don't have very long until college completely takes over our lives. We have to live at least a day before classes kill us." She pulled the blankets off Lindsay and turned on some music.

"Why don't you hang out with Sav and Mike? They're cooking breakfast." She sat up and ran her hands through her hair before standing to grab clothes. She pulled out leggings and a t-shirt, slipping into them as she yawned. She wadded her hair up into a bun and opened Instagram, laying back down to scroll.

Sierra snapped her fingers, "No, no. Outta bed, Linds. We have stuff to do today!" She pulled on Lindsay's foot. She gave up after Lindsay pulled her foot away and laid down in the fetal position. "Are you going to lay in bed all day?"

Lindsay shrugged, "Psh, no. I have to make a video today. I planned on having Savana in it. Then tomorrow, I'll have you. If you're okay with that?" She smiled, sitting up once again and letting her bare feet touch the wood floors.

"I guess I am," Sierra smiled, "But I only wear neutral colors, so be ready." She slipped on a pair of socks.

"Hey, you can't do that!" Savana shouted from the kitchen, a noticeable giggle behind it. "We need 3 cups of- Knock it off!" She laughed.

"I didn't know that was an ingredient!" Michael shouted back. The laughter that came after was nothing short of contagious.

Sierra and Lindsay hurried out with Harry and Ashton following quickly behind them. They came out to see Savana's face and torso covered in flour and Michael's hair had powdered sugar falling like ashes around him. "Why did I leave you two to cook? I should've watched a movie." Lindsay shook her head.

"If it pleases the masses, I have a bunch of crepes made with hand whipped cream, fresh berries, chocolate syrup and, like, three different types of jam," Savana clapped her hands together which released a cloud of flour into the air, "It'll be a bit before the bacon and eggs are ready, so go ahead and start."
