The bright sunshine filtered through the large windows in the living room. The brunette opened her reddish slightly, only the shut them and hid under the top cover of the soft sleeping bag. Hiding from the sun in the bag she turned her back to the windows and tried to get back to sleep. She tired to forget what her dream was, it didn't make any sense.

Gretchen, who was previously in the kitchen helping her mom make breakfast, skipped into the living room to see her friend still sleeping. The blonde pounced on her friend, causing a groan from the half asleep one.

"Wake up, Velvet! Breakfast is almost ready!" Gretchen yelled, bouncing on her friend. Ana kicked the blonde off her and blearily opened her eyes. The smell of bacon and the sound of something sizzling woke her tired body up to a more alert state of consciousness.

"What is for breakfast?" Ana Velda yawned. She ran her fingers through her hair, but soon stopped after she hit snarls. The smells from the kitchen were teasing her empty stomach.

"Gretchen! Watch the pancakes!" Lynda yelled to her daughter from the kitchen.

"Well there you go," Gretchen laughed as she got off her friend. She skipped to the doorway, and turned to make a 'hurry up' motion and then continued down the hallway. The thudding as her feet hit the floor stopped after about twenty hops, where the kitchen began.

Ana flung her head back onto the pillow and sprawled out on her sleeping bag. She arched her back until she heard the satisfying crack, and started starching her arms and legs. She sat up feeling more energized then before and walked to the yellow kitchen. She wiped the sleep put of her eyes, and leaned against the doorway watching the women cook.

Lynda turned around to get a plate for the bacon, and saw her daughter's friend. "Ana, why are you skulking around in a corner? Have a seat," she said motherly, Ana nodded in response and shuffled to the table and sat down. The brunette tried to get her dream out of her head, but it wouldn't leave. It was too vivid to be a dream, but it was impossible.

After the food was set on the table and everyone started eat, Gretchen broke the silence, "You're really quiet this morning, Ana. You okay?"

"Yeah, I am just not a morning person," Ana Velda said groggily.

"Okay," Gretchen nodded. "You just seemed to be thinking about something, a lot." Gretchen looked at her with caring eyes.

Ana nodded. She knew that Gretchen cared greatly about her, and it seemed unfair to not tell her about the odd dream. Because it was just a dream, wasn't it? Ana reasoned with herself. Ana sighed and begin to tell about the dream. "Well, I found this room in your house, and there was a painting of a relative from the 1800's, there was a man there, and he licked my bloody palm, then he jumped out the window." Ana told her only the basics, those were the highlights of it anyway. "It was really weird," Ana finished.

"Was he a cute guy?" Gretchen teased. Ana rolled her eyes in response. "Anyway, I was thinking, since school began that, like, the group should get together. So I called all the early risers-"

"You do know that teenagers run nocturnally. It is natural for us to sleep in until noon!" Ana interrupted.

"Is it really?" Gretchen asked shocked. Her hazel eyes widened. "Mom?"

Lynda looked up. "What?" She asked, shaking her head, obviously taken from her thoughts. Gretchen repeated the question. "Yes, almost everyone I knew when I was that young got up at noon."

"Huh," Gretchen said as she digested that information. "Anyway, those of us who were up at eight-thirty in the morning talked about it, and we decided to get dinner see a movie, then get ice cream and hang out at a park."

"Cool," Ana nodded in agreement. "What time is the movie?"

"At six. So we eat at four-thirty."

"You thought this all through, already?" Ana asked shocked, though sleep still invaded her voice.

Gretchen nodded, her light blonde hair bouncing. "You'll stay here, until we leave, if that's okay? If you have to shower or anything, we have extra towels."

"It's fine with me. I have to talk to my mom though," Ana added. Gretchen nodded, and Ana stood up and hurried to the living room to grab her cell phone. Walking towards the window, she dialed her home number. "Mom?" Ana asked when the phone was picked up.

"Yeah, sweetie?"

"Umm, Gretchen made plans this morning to get the group together for the evening. She said that I could stay here today, until the outing is over. Is that okay?" Ana asked cautiously.

There was a sigh on the other end of the line. "I guess that is okay. Just be home by midnight," Her mom answered after a moment of consideration. There was a crash in the background. "I have to go. Bye Ana," Her mother said quickly. Ana Velda barely got in a response before she heard the tell-tale click of the phone hanging-up.

Ana slowly walked back to the kitchen. She tried to convince herself that her brothers needed help and she didn't. Her father was never around in the day, because he was too busy at his office, so her mother had to split time in between a four year old boy, a six year old boy, and a sixteen year old daughter. By the time she got to the kitchen, she had convinced herself that her mom loved her.

The day past in a dull manor, and the movie was alright, though Ana Velda couldn't be happier to see her friends. After the movie the group decided to get ice cream before crossing the park to get back to their respective homes. They were currently waking through the park eating ice cream.

Sandra giggled as she fed her boyfriend, Zach, ice cream while he was giving the short blonde a piggyback ride. Ana looked over at the two and giggled. Zach smirked at her as Sandra smiled and giggled. The sounds of enjoyment caused Drake to peek behind him to see what was going on with the people bringing up the rear.

"Nothing," Ana Velda drawled teasingly.

Drake rose an eyebrow, "oh?"

"Nope, nothing at all," Ana giggled causing everyone else to laugh. After the laughter died down, the purple eyed woman sighed and closed her eyes. The cool night's breeze went through her hair, calming her. The feeling of excitement came as well.

Then the chattering in the front stop. In the silence Ana snapped open her eyes. There she saw the in her 'dream' and a blonde woman next to him. It wasn't a dream.
