April held up a pile of plates and spun around in some fouettés. It was her usual routine, to wash the dishes and practice her dancing.
"Hey, April!" Sarah slid into the kitchen. April startled, mid-fouetté. "Oh, hi, Sarah." she smiled self-consciously, brushing back her hair. A slight blush crept across her cheeks.
"Were you dancing again?" Sarah asked. Without waiting for a reply, she warned, "You could slip, you know. On the water." she gestured to the puddle that was spread on the floor.
April's blush deepened. "Yeah, I was dancing. I didn't see the water... Sorry."
"I'll take that." Sarah grabbed the dishes in April's hands and began scrubbing them vigorously in the sink.
"Wow, I never knew you were nice," April remarked, gently taking the dishes back. Sarah shot April a glare and snatched the plates back, then continued her scrubbing.
"Good morning," Michelle appeared. "Did I miss breakfast?"
April laughed. "Yeah, you did. But don't worry. I saved some for you."
"Where's Nick?" Michelle asked.
April and Sarah glanced at each other and both shrugged.
"He was there at breakfast. Maybe he's in his room?" April suggested. "I'll go check."
"Hey, what about the dishes?" Sarah yelled after her, but April, with her dancing skills, dodged Sarah's soapy hands and raced up the stairs.
Once upstairs, it didn't take too long to find Nick's room. Although April had just moved into Nick's house, she could navigate her way very well around the house.
April knocked one, two, three times, before waiting and barging inside.
Nick was in the ensuite bathroom, having a shower.April smiled, then exited the room, closing the door behind her. Nick was none the wiser. (Or at least she thought.)
"He's having a shower!" April yelled, flying down the stairs and back in the kitchen.
Suddenly something covered her eyes and said:"Not anymore."
April gasped and flung Nick's hands away. "Oh, Nick, you're impossible."
Nick smiled sweetly at her.
"Uh-oh, smooch alert!" Sarah muttered to Michelle, who giggled.
But instead, Nick just patted April's shoulder blushing and looked in the fridge for a snack.
"Hey ! That's unfair! You already had breakfast!" Michelle shouted, launching herself at her brother.
April laughed, and took the dishes back from Sarah. This time, Sarah didn't seem to mind. April resumed her long-forgotten scrubbing.
Until Sarah grabbed the dishes back again.
