"Good morning…" I said sleepily while rubbing my eyes.

"Good morning, Ichigo-chan!" my Sweets Sprit, Vanilla, cheered.

"Ahh?" I see a note next to my nightstand.

Ichigo, today was my day to do supply duty. Please wake up early so Sensei doesn't yell at you. Do your best today!

Rumi-chan

Oh Rumi-chan, I know I'm not that lat-

"Ichigo-chan, Ichigo-chan! It's past 8am!" Vanilla shouted as she interrupted my thoughts.

I look at my digital clock as the numbers read 8:20. I practically jumped out of my bed and dashed to the bathroom to dress up.

"Vanilla, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" I complained, while dashing through the long hallway.

"Ne, Ichigo, I'm not your alarm clock!" Vanilla frantically stated.

I was about to complain when I missed a step on the wooden stairs and tripped to the floor, knee-first.

"Ouch…" I whispered softly as I touch my freshly bruised knee.

"Ichigo, are you okay?" Vanilla asked with a concerned look on her face.

"I'm okay," I said while stretching down my skirt past my minor injury. Although Vanilla doesn't seem to agree, she just nods and continues to follow me.

As I finally made it to the empty classroom, I-

Ehh? Empty? Did I miss something?

"Ehh? Where are all the students?" I exclaimed. I glance at Vanilla and she looks as surprised as me.

Frantic, I look around to find someone to tell me what is going on.

Luckily, I find Sanae-sensei wandering around. I quickly walk up to her and tap her shoulder.

"Oh! Good morning, Ichigo-chan! Why are you up so early?" asked Sanae-sensei.

"Sensei, where are all the students? It's past class time." I asked, pointing at the classroom.

"Ichigo-chan…" she said. "Today is Saturday!" she said happily.

I nearly fainted when I collected what she said.

Then I realized. . .

Flashback

"Ichigo!" shouted Rumi, one of my best friends.

"Yes, Rumi-chan?" I asked while smiling at her.

"Remember to throw out that note I left on your nightstand yesterday morning! Okay? Don't forget! I'm going to America for a little vacation, you know that already." Rumi said, as she zipped up her last suitcase.

"Yes, Rumi-chan! I promise I won't forget! And bring me souvenirs!"

End of Flashback

Well, it looks like I broke that promise.

"Ehehe… thanks for telling me.. I'm sorry for bothering you." I said apologetically.

"No problem, Ichigo-chan!" she exclaimed happily as she continued to go wherever.

I sighed heavily. I can't believe I forgot to throw away that note.

Hmm..I guess I can make breakfast for me and Vanilla..

Making use of the empty kitchen, I put on my apron and such and said to my Sweets Spirit, "Let's make breakfast, ne?" turning the situation into a positive one.

Vanilla smiled and flew to my side, helping me as I retrieve necessary ingredients and pans.

Growwwwwwwwwwwll

Heh.. Breakfast time.

As I reach out some eggs, Vanilla told me she had an idea. "Ichigo! Why don't we take a breakfast picnic under the Sakura trees?" she asked.

"That's a GREAT idea, Vanilla!" I said, excited.

I began making bentos for me, and three certain Sweet Princes. I think it's time I paid my friends a visit.
