Beep! Beep! Beep! Went Ko's alarm.
Ko woke up with a long groan and snoozed his alarm. He got out of his bed, brushed his teeth, and got dressed. He put on a white sweatshirt and his red headband and waistbands. He looked in the mirror with a frown. "I need new clothes." He muttered.
"Ko! Breakfast!" Called his mom.
Carol Kincaid put a plate of pancakes on the table by Ko's seat. He sat down and started devouring his food. You might be wondering why Ko wasn't as cheery as he usually was. This was because Carol is no longer a hero. She had turned into a villain. Her hair wasn't in her headband like it normally was. It was let go as it was when she was working for P.O.I.N.T as Silverspark. She wore a crop top with black spiked wristbands on her arms. She had short black tights and long gray boots. She smiled at Ko as he ate his food. Ko didn't look back.
"So, peanut," She said. "Did you have a great sleep?"
"Not really," Ko said without looking at his mom. "I had a bad dream, as usual."
Carol's face dropped.
"How's things going with Shadowy buttface?" Ko asked. He gagged after saying his name.
"Oh," Carol said. "I'd rather not talk about it right now."
Ko finished his food and asked, "Do you mind if I go to the plaza today? I wanna see Rad and Enid. We haven't been together for two months since I quit working at Gars."
"Sure you can, peanut. Just be careful, okay?"
Ko smiled. He walked out the door and waved goodbye.
