The next morning Emmie awoke at the usual time she did every morning when she had school. She got out of bed, and walked down the hall towards the living room where Athrun had slept. Slowly she crept up behind him and peered over the back of the couch. Athrun opened his eyes and smirked. "You're not very good at sneaking up on people. You know that, right?"
She smiled lazily and lent up against the back of the couch. "I know…but I wasn't planning on scaring you. I was just coming to wake you up so you're ready to go to school with me."
Athrun sat up and pushed the blanket over to the opposite chair. "I'm not the one you should be worried about. Corey sleeps heavier than I do."
"Anti-social and a heavy sleeper. I guesshim and Stellar are twins..."
Athrun stood up and moved over beside Emmie. "Let's go get him. If we want to be on time we're gonna have to get him out of bed soon."
She smiled with a nod, and turned to follow Athrun down the hallway. "Stellar too."
"...and onto today's weather...Sparky?"
"Thank you, Bob. Today's weather is 83 degrees and sunny. A perfect day."
"Corey…" Athrun said, pulling his blankets off the bed.
Emmie smiled. "Is this how you always wake him up, Athrun?"
"Sometimes. I used to use a air horn…but dad told me I couldn't use that anymore. Mom didn't like it."
"Why doesn't he set the buzzer on his alarm clock instead of the radio?"
Athrun shrugged. "To loud for him. He likes to sleep."
Emmie grinned. "Let me get him up. I'm good at stuff like this."
Athrun looked at her for a minute than smiled. "Alright. You can get your sleeping beauty a of a brother up."
Emmie smiled and jumped up on Corey's bed. "Oh Corey…wake up."
He mumbled something and rolled over, causing Emmie to fall over beside him.
She grinned, blowing on his face. "Wake up, brother dearest…"
Corey opened his eyes slightly and rolled over to the other side of the bed. Quicklyhe opened his eyes and rolled back over. "Emmie! What are you doing here?"
She grinned, with a smile. "Just trying to get you out of bed. You have to go to school withus today!"
He groaned, pulling the blanket out of Athrun's hands, and back over his head. "But I have the day off of school…"
Athrun pulled the blanket off him again. "See this, Emmie doesn't need that much sleep…and she's a girl!"
Emmie looked up to Athrun. "Are you trying to say something?"
Athrun waved his hands in front of him. "Not at all…I was just trying to get him out of bed."
Corey snatched the blanket out of Athrun's hands once more. "You could let me keep my blanket. I'm in my underwear, you know."
Emmie's face turned a pale shade of pink. "It doesn't bother me…you know. You are my brother after all."
"Yes, but still."
She smiled and got up. "Fine, but don't you dare go to sleep. Or I'll be back in," she said with a wink.
He smiled as she walked out the door. "Don't worry, I won't go to sleep…you woke me up."
She grinned and shut the door behind her. "You'd better not," she said heading down the hall to Stellar's room.
Athrun grinned and lent up against the closed door. "I've never seen you this awake this early."
Corey glared at Athrun and threw a pillow at him. "Shut up. It's only 'cuz you sicked Emmie on me."
The grin held its place on Athrun's face. "Actually she wanted to wake you up. Said something like it was her specialty."
"She seems to be getting along good…"
The smile fell from Athrun's face. "What do you mean by that?"
Corey pulled a pair of jeans on. "I mean, we've known her for a whole day…and she's acting like we've known each other forever…"
"It's only been her and her Stellar for awhile…you almost have to expect her to be over-excited…"
Corey sighed as he pulled on his shirt. "So,are theygonna stay with us afterthey go to school? Or are we going to move in with them?" he paused. "…Orare theyjust going to go back totheir house and everything goes back to normal?"
Athrun sighed. "I don't know. I think it'd be kind of weird to havethem move in, or us move in with them. But in a way, wouldn't you like to have your sisterslive with us? I hear she's smart too. She could help you with your math. And I hear Stellar is a computer wiz."
"I spouse she could, but I'm not very social. I don't really like to meet new people…"
Athrun smiled slightly. "Let's talk about this later. We should probably get going before she comes back and thinks you went to sleep again."
Corey nodded. "Fine. Let's hurry up and get ready so we can go to school."
A few minutes later Athrun and Corey came down the hallway, and to the kitchen. Emmie and Stellarwere there eating breakfast next to Athrun's mother.
Emmielooked up as they entered the kitchen. Her face lit up as they both sat down next to her. "Glad to see you out of bed, Corey."
Their mother looked up quickly, over to the clock, and back over to Corey. "Corey? What are you doing up so early? You're in bed for at least another hour!"
He smiled slightly, glancing over to Emmie. "Well mom, Athrun and I are going to school with Emmie and Stellar today. Plus I had the 'sister wake up call'."
Lenore smiled and looked over to Emmie. "Maybe you should be here everyday. The best thing we had to get him out of bed was Athrun's air horn, but it was driving me crazy…"
Alex came through the door and smiled, looking over to everybody. "If you're gonna be on time to school, you're gonna want to leave in about ten minutes."
Emmie nodded. "About how long is it from here to Migoto? I fell asleep in the car."
Athrun looked over. "It's about an hour and a half. Give or take a few minutes depending on traffic."
Emmie nodded. "Good. That way we'll be able to talk to the headmaster before the first bell."
Eight and a half minutes later, they left.
Ten minutes down the road Corey fell asleep as expected along with Stellar. Emmie looked back to the backseat whenthey fell asleep.
She smiled and looked back to Athrun. "He must really like to sleep, Stellar too for that matter."
Athrun glanced back to them. "Yeah, if he could he'd sleep all the time."
She smiled. "So how do you know your way over to Migoto so easily? Have you been there before you came to find me?"
"Yeah, Miguel brought me over to your school's homecoming game."
"Really? What year?"
"Last year and this year.
"Really? I was out on the field somewhere."
Athrun smiled. "I never saw you. That's interesting."
"It is," Emmie said, covering her mouth to shield a yawn. "Athrun," she asked. "Do you mind if I go to sleep for awhile? I think I was up too late last night…"
He smiled. "No, I don't mind. You can sleep if you want."
She returned the smile. "Thanks…Athrun…" she said as sleep surrounded her.
Awhile later, Emmie awoke and looked around. "Where are we, Athrun?"
"Athrun is not here," said a voice.
She looked over. "What? Who are you? Where are Athrun and Corey?"
The person behind the voice turned toward her. "They aren't here…they aren't your brothers."
Her eyes widened. "It's you! You've been haunting my dreams for years! What do you mean they aren't my real brothers!"
The figure smirked. "That's right. There's no way you could have brothers. You haven't even had a father!"
She put her hands to her head and closed her eyes. "No, no! You're wrong!" she screamed.
Instantly she awoke with tears falling down her cheeks.
