GH5 11: Another Awkward Morning.

Copper and i entered into the kitchen where we saw Isaac, Connor and everyone else sitting at the middle kitchen counter on stools, having breakfast. Chelsea, aunt Candace, Layla and Emma were eating bowls of fruit, Adam and Connor were eating monster Boo-Berry cereal from the 80s, and Isaac and Dad were eating syrup-covered waffles, bacon, hash-browns and orange juice, with the glass pitcher on the counter they were all sitting at. The last stool at the mid-counter was empty and three plates of a waffle, bacon, a scrambled hash-brown and a glass of orange juice sat on the counter in front of it, with a fork and a napkin on the side. Obviously reserved for me. Copper's dog-bowl rested on the floor by the mid-counter with dog-food in it.

After getting out of the basement earlier, Isaac, Connor, Copper and i went back to bed and acted as if nothing had happened. It wasn't that we didn't believe what had happened, it was just that we were so confused about the matter, we couldn't make sense of it. Who could?

"Looks like someone else slept through the night after all." Adam said.

"We're having waffles? Where's the syrup?" I asked.

"In the fridge, i just opened a new bottle." Chelsea answered.

"What would you say to a trip to Hawaii next summer?" Dad asked aunt Candace as Copper and i walked over to the refrigerator.

"I would say..."Go for it"." Aunt Candace said as i opened the fridge to get the syrup, only to discover that it wasn't there.

I closed the fridge back and Copper and i turned to face the others. "It's not there."

Chelsea got from her seat, came over to the fridge, opened it, and got out a bottle of syrup. "Right where i said it'd be." She said as she closed the fridge.

I took the syrup from Chelsea. "Oh. I...guess i didn't see it." I then walked over to the mid-counter while Copper went over to his dog-bowl and began eating the dog-food out of it, and i sat down on the last empty stool, followed by opening the syrup and pouring some on my waffle before closing it and placing it on the counter. I then picked up my fork and started eating my waffle.

"Hey, did Emma, tell you? She found a fashion mogul in L.A. that wants to have a look at her designs." Chelsea said.

"That's great, Emma." Layla said.

"And she wants to have a look at them this September." Emma said.

"That's fantastic." Candace said.

"Hey, do you guys know who lived here before you?" I asked Chelsea and Adam.

"Not sure. Why?" Adam asked.

"Cause rumor has it that someone had lived here during 1979 and the 80s and died. They think there's something wrong with this house." I said. I couldn't tell the Dale couple that Connor, Isaac, Copper and i heard this information from a stranger we met in the bayou, they'd go off on us for sure.

"Well, that sounds like someone trying to scare a kid out of his skin. I can't believe that you, of all people, fell for that." Adam said.

"Jerry...let him be." Candace said.

"Connor, i'm gonna make a cake. Do you want dark chocolate or a strawberry cake?" Chelsea said.

"Dark chocolate, of course." Connor said.

"I think i'll do both." Chelsea said.

"Even better." Connor said.
