Disclaimer: I only own the plot of the story, etc... none of the characters or such unless I decide to make an OC
"'nii-chan! I'm home!"
Silence.
"'nii-chan?" a little girl closed the door behind her as she came into the house. She started poking her head into the rooms of the house looking for someone
"okaasan?"
No answer.
"otoosan?"
Still no answer.
Confused the little girl ran out of the house to look for the family car. The street was empty. There was no sign of her parents or her brother. The little girl didn't know what to do, she was scared and there was no one around to help her. She sat down on the front door step and started to cry.
Ann woke up with a start. She noticed tears streaming down her face, she was crying.
Wow…that's strange…it felt so real…
Shaking her head as if it would get rid of the dream, she looked at the clock.
4:30. Groaning, she thought well I might as well wake up…I definitely won't be going back to sleep anytime soon…
She changed into her running gear, grabbed her mp3 player and her keys, and headed out of her small apartment. She blasted the music through her headphones and just let her feet carry her, not really thinking about where she was going.
5:30.
Ann looked at her watch and stopped to rest at a small playground for the local kids. It was still dark.
Who in their right mind would go running at an hour like this?This is crazy. I don't even know what I'm doing here. If someone sees me, they're bound to recognize me…
She laughed at the thought of anyone she knew, coming outside at 5:30 in the morning.
Momo's POV
"AaAaAaAggghhhh!"
Momo yelped as he rolled off his bed and fell onto the cold floor. Rubbing his poor head he grabbed onto his blanket to try and pull himself back onto the bed. Too bad for him, the blanket slid off the bed and fell right on top of him which made him stumble back onto the floor, this time making him fall butt first.
"Stupid blankets that don't hold onto the bed…" he grumbled as he picked himself up from the floor and fell onto his soft bed, only to hit his head on the backboard.
"AAAAAggghhhh!"
His poor head!
Finally, he lay peacefully on his bed ready to fall into a deep sleep again. Except…he couldn't. All this commotion had caused him to become fully awake.
He closed his eyes… then opened them… then closed them, squeezing them shut to make sure they wouldn't open… but, by some force unknown to Momo, they magically opened again. :you know how when you just can't keep your eyes closed? You try and try but it just refuses to stay closed? Like that … and if you don't know… then it means you're a really good sleeper:
He threw off his blankets in frustration and walked down to the kitchen.
Food! That's the trick! Eat so much so that you fall into a food coma!
He was amazed by his own brilliance and opened up the refrigerator.
"AAGGGHHHH!"
There was no food left, all the edible food in the house had been eaten by yours truly last night. Me and my stupid appetite! Curse you stomach! He grumbled and stomped back up to his room. :you'd think his parents would be up by now Oo but nooo :
Once again, Momo threw himself onto his bed. This time he managed not to injure himself. He tossed and turned in his bed for 30 minutes. He checked his clock. 5:20.
He decided to try the next best thing. Operation tire-out-Momo-until-he's-too-exhausted-to-do-anything-but-sleep! With new found confidence in his plan, he grabbed his tennis bag and headed out the door.
