Eli woke up early the next morning. She smiled as she climbed out of bed
with Pikachu. She grabbed her slippers from her bag and put them on. Then
she opened her door to go watch TV.
Then she realized that she didn't know how to get around without Ian.
"IAN!" She yelled out. She got no reply. He must have been too asleep to hear her. She pouted. Then she remembered what he had said about how her room was close to hers.
Eli started checking rooms for human life. Finally, three doors across the hall from her, she heard breathing. She ran into the room and launched herself at the bed. She began jumping on the bed and screaming.
"Ian, Wake up! Ian, Wake up! IAN, WAKE UP!" She yelled happily. She accidently jumped too far to the side and she connected with his stomach.
All of the breath in his lungs left him as he felt something bodyslam into his stomach. He sat up and grabbed at whatever it was.
His hands encircled her ankles. Her feet were pulled out from under her. She landed with a thud on top of his legs. She groaned.
"Ow. That hurt!" She hit him on the shoulder with pikachu.
Ian let go when he realized who it was. He rubbed his eyes, which were ready to fall back down to get some sleep. "Eli, what were you doing?"
"I needed to find you and now I have." She announced. "You hurt my bum bum, though."
"And you almost pumped my stomach without the use of machines." He told her. He glanced at the clock. "Eli, it is barely six o'clock in the morning. Why are you up?" He asked her.
"It's Saturday." She said, as if he should know the significance.
"And?" He asked. He was clearly confused.
Eli stared at him as if he was insane. "Cartoons! C'mon," She grabbed his hand and tried to drag him out of bed. "We're gonna miss the good ones."
Ian sighed and got out of bed. Eli smiled as he followed her out into the hallway.
"First we need to go to the kitchen." She told him. He nodded and led her to the kitchen. Eli grabbed a stool and used it to climb onto the other counter. She looked through the shelves in shock.
"Now where is it? You should have some.... Here it is!" She pulled out an un-opened box. Then she grabbed two bowls from another shelf. She looked at the clock and then quickly scrambled down. She shifted through the drawers till she found two spoons. Then she went to the refrigerator and got some milk. She balanced things uneasily in her arms. She was an expert at it.
She turned to Ian. "Let's go." Since her hands were full, he took her wrist and led her to the Living room. She put the items down on the table and grabbed the remote. She put in certain numbers and smiled.
"Recess!" She shouted as she sat down on the floor next to the table. Eli began to pour cereal into a bowl. She poured milk into it and began to eat as the show started.
During commercial she looked over at Ian, who was sitting on the couch. "I got you a bowl, too. Don't you want some?"
Since she had bothered to remember him, he took a bowl. He had never had this before. He picked up the box and looked at it.
"Lucky Charms." He said outloud. Eli nodded.
"They're magically delicious." She said as she laughed. Then the show came back on and she turned her head back to the TV.
Ian fixed up his bowl like he had seen her do. He took a bite. It was very sweet. It tasted pretty good. He had three more bowls.
Meanwhile, Eli watched Reccess, Pokemon: Master Quest, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Jackie Chan Adventures.
Eli noticed he had finished another bowl, so she took it from him and fixed it up for him. She handed it back.
"Thank-you, Eli." He said as he took the bowl. A new show started, something called Mucha Lucha. He watched it as he took a spoonful out of cereal.
The first thing he noticed was the sugar evaporating in his mouth. He looked back down into the bowl. Apparently, Eli had also gotten some sugar and had added about three cups of it to the cereal. He put the bowl down on the table. He watched Eli consume another bowl of the stuff.
"Eli, did you put sugar to all of the bowls you had?" She nodded her head, eyes glued to the TV. Ian was suddenly very worried. He had heard that children get very, very hyper when they have sugar. "Eli, how many bowls of cereal did you eat?"
"Six." She answered. She was bouncing in her seat. Her sugar rush was just about to kick in.
'Dear God.' He thought to himself. He sighed as he tried to mentally prepare himself for the rest of the day.
Then she realized that she didn't know how to get around without Ian.
