Wilt had awoken bright and early the following day to the wondrous smell of the fresh morning air; the suns rays warming his cheeks, watching it rise over the horizon with a tired but content smile. He held the robe close to him, trying to keep himself warm from the lingering cold night air still lurking about.
After watching the sunrise, Wilt quickly and quietly made his way through the kitchen to the laundry room on the second floor, where he placed the robe in the washer to get out some of the broken bits of wood and dirt. Cleaning, pressing and hanging up the light blue robe, Mr. Herriman's morning announcement rang that it was time for breakfast.
Yawning on his way to the dinning hall, Wilt could see few of the other imaginary friends getting up as they to headed for the dining room when Eduardo came up to Wilt with a worried look and loud shriek.
"Wilt!" Ed shouted, "Oh thank goodness…I haven't see you all night! I was getting worried that the bed bugs! They carried you off while you were de siesta."
Wilt looked towards Ed giving his weak and tired smile, "No…I just needed some fresh air, I couldn't sleep last night so I went outside…and I guess I dozed off."
Bloo came walking down the stairs after using the restroom when he heard this, "you couldn't sleep again? Dang ever since the new members came, you have not been getting much sleep or much of anything," Bloo pondered on that thought for a while then said, "maybe one of them have powers and casted an evil spell on you…making you loose sleep…. energy and anything else you are experiencing! That's it isn't it!"
Wilt rolled his eye, "No…I just had a lot on my mind that's all."
Bloo looked at Wilt saying… "Oh…"… "You sure?"
Wilt didn't say anything as he walked off with Ed to the dinning room.
Bloo continued to look at his tall red friend walking off with Ed, pondering, what was with him, but decided not to press the matter...but soon…oh so very soon…he will find out.
At the dinning table everyone got to his or her seats while Frankie brought out the spread, when another person came out of the kitchen when Wilt finally got to his seat. He looked up to see Sarah laying out some waffles and a huge bowl of scrambled eggs that looked like it had a few shred of ham and green peppers in it. Sarah smiled at Frankie who smiled back at her while giving her a large tray of bacon strips and ham telling her to put the tray down on the other end of the table.
Sarah nodded then walked down to the end of the table, gently placing the tray on the end. She looked around the table till she saw Wilt, who was unconsciously watching her then turned his head to the side looking around to concentrate on something else. Sarah had to give a small smile to his shyness then went back to the other end to sit next to Frankie at the dinning table.
After a half an hour of silence during breakfast between the family members who owned fosters, Mr. Herriman broke the silence looking to Frankie saying, "Miss Francis, I do believe that we are running out of a few items that keep us from reaching out goal to a perfect home."
Frankie rolled her eyes, "in English."
Mr. Herriman sighed in announce, "I need you to go to the mall and pick up a few things, then go to the market to pick up some groceries." He reached into his right inside jacket pocket pulling up at rolled up paper it to her.
Frankie grabbed the rolled up sheet of paper and look at the it with a heavy sigh, " Okay, I will get right on it after Breakfast."
At the Corner of her eye, Sarah could see a few things that needed to pick up, pondered on the chore itself for a while before going back to her meal.
When everyone had finished their meal, leaving a big pile of dirty dishes for Frankie to clean up, Sarah gathered up the remaining dishes from the dinning room before walking into the kitchen to hear Frankie silent curses of frustration.
With a small smile, Sarah walked up to Frankie offering her help with the dishes, which caused Frankie, to nod happily.
Half way through the dish work, Sarah, though not removing her eyes from the dishes at work, asked, "Frankie? Do you mind if I come along for the trip to the mall?"
Frankie smiled, "of course not, are you looking for something?"
"Well, some of the kids I came with, need a few things, John skater needs some knee pads, Bella Ball needs new doll clothing and some of the babies need some new blankets…they look kind of worn out."
"hmmm.. I have never given it much thought, but…okay, I will let it slide for now but don't expect me to pay for your stuff all the time."
Sarah looked at her saying, "Oh I am not expecting you too."
"Its alright, I got the money for it, I mean…hehe…I do work here."
"And I know you work really hard too but I have my own money."
"Oh?" Frankie asked a little curious.
Sarah smiled at her then continued on with her work.
Frankie had to smile, despite the cat face, the hourglass figure and the long fluffy tail, she didn't seem like an imaginary friend at all…she seemed more human than anything else. She had no special abilities, not extra of anything and not abstract build in figure like most she came across. She had to admit, she was practically…un-imagined.
