Holly

"Holly Marie Short, get up or you'll be late for school!"

Holly in fact was still ling in bed "I really oughta go to bed at a decent time" She told her self sternly. She groan and rolled out of bed, went over to her mirror and started brushing her long waist length red hair.

"Holly Marie are you up yet?" Her mother yelled up the steps once again.

"Yea Mum I'm up" Holly responded as she tied her shoe. She graded her school bag and a scrunch from her desk and headed down.

Mr. and Mrs. Short were sitting at the table when their daughter came running down the stairs while she held her school bag in-between her teeth and putting her hair in a long braid.

"Bye mum bye dad see you later love you" She called on her way out the door.

Trouble

Trouble Kelp is sitting at the table when his parents come down stairs. It is like a morning thing the whole family gets together and eats breakfast and then Trouble and his younger brother, Grub ,head off to school this morning is no different except the yelling from the apartment next door ,"Holly Marie Short get up or you'll be late for school".

"Ah, something for me to use against her" Trouble thought with an evil grin. Then got up and told his parents bye and headed out the door with his brother to meet Holly at the bottom steps .
