The sun streamed into the Belpois household, casting a warm glow wherever the golden-yellow rays touched. The French windows were closed, ready to be opened at any time whenever the family felt like it, but the shutters, however, were flung open, allowing the sun's rays to enter.
A couple was presently asleep on a bed heavily laden with sheets, even dead to the world with unhearing ears. A pink-haired twenty-sever year old woman lightly yawned as the sun's rays touched her face, and turned over, slightly adjusting the pillows as the day drew on. Her spouse adjusted himself to a slightly more comfortable position, slightly ruffling the sheets.
The alarm clock then emitted a small beep into Aelita's ear, as it stood on the bare nightstand. Aelita groaned, and placed the pillow firmly on her head. After a few moments, she peered out from the cover of her pillow, to check the time on the digital clock. It read 8 o'clock, furiously blaring out the time, as if telling them to get a start on the day already. She yawned and, as her brain "woke up", she realized that they were late for work. The work from the night before had wiped them out, but their boss did not accept anyone being late-not for any reason.
"Wake up!' she desperately yelled to Jeremie.
"Hunh?" Jeremie said in a sleepy voice, under the stupor of just being woken up. He did not realize what was going, on, but after seeing the clock's interface did he panic. "Oh, no!" The Belpois household then awoke in alarm, as Jeremie had yelled loud enough to wake their two children.
With amazing speed, both leaped out of their beds, and dashed straight for the double sink in the master bathroom. They both grabbed their tooth brushes, and, after squirting toothpaste on it, brushed vigorously. Antea and Waldo ran to their parent's bedroom, and told them that it was "take your child to work" day, before running back to their respective rooms and changing to go with their parents to work. Finishing up, they spit the water out of their mouths, and ran to get their garments on- Aelita changing in the bathroom, in order not to intrude on the other's privacy. Aelita would have to ask Jeremie, in the bedroom, if he was fully changed before coming out of the bathroom.
Jeremie shouted to Aelita that it was alright. Aelita then walked out, hurriedly putting makeup on, before dashing away with Jeremie to go downstairs. Aelita made a quick breakfast consisting of baguettes, and French toast, before calling to their kids upstairs. The twins then bounded down the stairs with the energy gifted only to children, and greeted the dogs- three wolf puppies that both of them had chosen. Aelita was afraid of them at first, because she had seen them in her flashbacks and dreams about the past, but eventually shook off the fear, as the pups were playful, and were not giving off a malicious feeling whenever any of the family went near them.
"Hello Catherine!" Antea said, as she rubbed Catherine's stomach. Catherine licked her hand, and rolled over, waiting to be petted.
Catherine was a five month old Arctic wolf, with the fur completely white in coloring. Waldo was playing with Michael and Patrick, who, unlike Catherine, were almost completely black, with some patches of white and grey. Antea stopped petting Catherine, and ran to the kitchen, and retrieved their bread, handing some to Waldo, who then promptly fed some to the dogs.
"Load them up in their den, guys. You know we can't take them to work with us." Jeremie called to them, all the while giving the children slices of French toast in plastic bags.
"C'mon Patrick!" Waldo called over, walking to a room nearby that was designated for the pups to play in, as it had enough toys to keep them pre-occupied while the family was gone. Patrick obediently got up, and ran over to him, skidding on the tiled floor. Michael was more careful, as he had jumped into Antea's arms with Catherine.
Antea walked over, slightly staggering from the weight of the two puppies. Aelita came over and carried Catherine, who snuggled her when he was transferred into her arms. They both carried the pups, both of them who were whining slightly in anticipation of their absence, and brought them to the den. Catherine pounced on Patrick, and Michael joined in, thus creating a puppy pile.
The ride to work was relatively short, as both parents had newer GPS's installed in their cars. With those fantastic machines installed, they could easily navigate their cars to their workplace, all the while avoiding the heavy traffic. Amazingly, they arrived on time, and, to avoid the direct attention of the boss, they crept along, silently walking to their stations. They turned on the stations computers, and logged in.
There were footsteps behind them, and they turned around to see who it was.
