Sorry for the delay, but college finals nearly took a lot out of me, and I needed time to refresh. Now, I can get back to this fun stuff.

We are now entering Day 16: During their morning ritual(s).

The sun was shining bright over another beautiful morning.

Luan was staying at Benny's house over the night that just happened.

Both Benny and Luan were just about to wake up and hit the showers.

The 2 of them were awakened by a call from Benny's mom.

"Hey Benny, Luan," she said. "Breakfast is ready."

After a moment of silence, she then said, "you coming down? It's blueberry, your favorite".

Benny's mom got an idea.

She used her fan to blow the smell upstairs, which got their attention.

Benny woke up first.

After stretching, he smelled maple syrup.

"Morning Luan," Benny said.

Luan woke up.

She too said good morning while stretching.

"Do you smell syrup?" Luan asked.

"It's my mom's pancakes," Benny answered.

The 2 of them went downstairs.

In the dining room, Benny's mom gave him and Luan blueberry pancakes with orange juice.

"Thanks mom," Benny said.

"No problem," his mom said.

Luan then asked Benny, "so is this how you start every weekend morning?"

Benny answered, "after breakfast, I wash my body and teeth. Then I get dressed."

"Is that all," Luan asked.

Benny answered, "almost. Every Saturday, I like to get a morning jog into my soul."

"That sounds cool," Luan said.

Up in the bathroom, Luan and Benny each had their own toothbrushes.

"I nearly forgot," Luan said. "Lincoln taught me how to make this more fun."

"Did he?" Benny asked.

Luan nodded.

She then turned on Chip Skylark's song "My Shiny Teeth and Me".

A shy over 2 minutes later, Benny commented, "wow. That was fun." Luan replied,

"I know. Guess you can toothpaste on jams to your ritual if you know what I mean."

Neither of the 2 couldn't help but laugh at the joke Luan made.

"You have one cool ritual, Benny," Luan said.

"Thanks," Benny commented. "So, who's hitting the shower first?"

"You go," Luan said. "I don't mind waiting".

Benny thanked her.

Luan then stepped back into Benny's room.

It was almost like hers.

"Is that a Tiny Toon Adventures Poster you have on the wall?" Luan asked.

"Oh yeah," Benny answered. "That show's hilarious."

Luan couldn't help but agree, even though she never saw the show before.

About 9:15, Benny and Luan went outside and got on with their morning jog. A couple of blocks over, they ran into Lincoln and Jordan.

All 4 of them said hi to one another.

"What brings you out here on this fine Saturday morning?" Benny asked.

Lincoln answered, "Jordan wants some pizza for breakfast."

Jordan commented, "some kind of news report said a slice of pizza has less sugar and more nutrients than the everyday cereal."

Lincoln asked, "what about you?"

Luan answered, "apparently a jog to the park is part of Benny's weekend morning ritual."

Benny commented, "you know, I heard about that news report myself. It's why my family would rather have orange juice than coffee."

Jordan asked, "too much caffeine to handle?" Benny nodded.

The 4 of them said goodbye to one another before strolling off again.

During their jog to the park, Luan commented, "wow. It's almost as if Jordan and Lincoln are becoming younger versions of us."

Benny thought, "it is possible."

The 2 arrived at the park and decided to jog through.

"This is fun," Luan said.

"I agree," Benny said.

The 2 of them continued with their jog through the park.

With that, Day 16: During their morning ritual(s) comes to a close.

Stay tuned for Day 17: Spooning and Day 18: Doing something together.
