056: Breakfast

Nastasia had a headache. Actually, make that TWO headaches. One was turning steadily into a migraine. The other was holding her hand. The first was a normal headache, but the second had a name. Its name was Mimi.

Before we continue, let's see what happened to get here. Turn the clock back about three hours. KA-CHA!

Through the magic of writing, we have gone three hours into the past, where Nastasia is eating breakfast. She had a bagel, cream cheese, and a fried egg on her plate. It was extremely quiet. That was the way Nastasia liked it.

She was planning on going out to the Sammer Kingdom's market to pick up some groceries. It was supposed to be a simple affair. Get in, buy the stuff, get out. That's what Nastasia thought. But it changed quite quickly.

Count Bleck came down the stairs and entered the kitchen. "Your food's over on the stove, Count," Nastasia said and pointed without looking up from her list.

"Ah! Five grain waffles!" Count Bleck exclaimed. "Oh, Count Bleck remembered, will you take Mimi with you today?"

"Hmmm? Wait, what? If Mimi comes, she'll drag the trip! Instead of ten minutes, it'll be at least three hours!"

"Nevertheless," Count Bleck said. "I have an important meeting today, and with Mr L, Dimentio, and O'Chunks out procuring various things, you will need to take Mimi."

"But... 'k."

Through some more magic, we watch three hours go by in seven seconds. Can you imagine how tiring it would be to shop while dragging Mimi along? There's the migraine. Hey, time's slowing down again. Here we go. KA-CHA!

"And did you see that rotten watermelon, Nassie?"

"Yes."

"And that ugly guy selling fruitcakes?"

"Yes."

"What about that-" Nastasia clapped her hand over Mimi's mouth. She grabbed a box of Sugar Loops from a nearby vendor and gave the box to Mimi. Nastasia paid the vendor and walked away, Mimi following behind, stuffing the cereal into her mouth.

About ten minutes later, Nastasia was browsing the assorted oranges when she heard a thump. She turned to find Mimi on the ground, unconscious. Nastasia rolled her eyes and continued shopping.

A/N: Ahhhhh... It feels so good to write! Anyway, here's another installment of 100 Days. First off, I actually had different plans for this. In the original 'finished' version, Mimi never fell into a sugar coma. But it was just too awesome to pass up. Don't worry; Mimi was all right. Nastasia was able to get her home.
