Amy sat up suddenly, her mind racing as she glanced at her clock.
She was going to be late for school!
Getting out of bed in a flurry of blankets and bedsheets she snatched up her brush, ran it through her brown hair that reached to her shoulders with a yank or two, and then quickly changed into a light blue T-shirt and navy pants before torpedoeing out her door after a glance into the mirror with her brown eyes.
At the base of the stairs she snatched the banister and whirled around to head down the hallway to the red-hued door at the hall's end. She flung it open, went through...
...And collided full-speed into Chiro, whose face was a flash of surprise before she was smacking into them and they'd both tumbled to the floor.
"Sorry, Chiro! Late! School! Gotta go now! Bye!" Amy bumbled, trying to get up without hurting him or herself. Her hand swung the cabinet to her right, and her head into the chair to her left. the plan wasn't going so well.
Meanwhile, Chiro had TWO things to figure out, how to get up along with what in the world Amy was saying. "Hold on, slow down. WHERE are you going?" Very confused, he tried to wrigle upward off of the rug and onto the yellow tile floor. Amy tried to lever herself as high as possible, and with that clearance he olled onto his stomach, picked himself up, and somehow crawled away. He had on his red sweater, which was what he wore under his hyper suit when he wasn't fighting evil. Now, he also had on a whole colony of dust bunnies. Amy hadn't vacuumed the rug the table stood on top of in forever.
"I'm going to school. It's where Earthlings like me go to learn about math, and earth science, and history of our world, and how to use proper grammar in poems and stories and letters. Kids are required to go 5 days a week except on special occasions, then have 2 days off on the weekends. It lasts about 8 long hours a day, kind of like when someone gets a job shift. Try not to let the house blow up or burn down or anything, if you please. You're on your own for a few hours."
"Um...okay..?"
"Yup. And I'm late to get there. Which is bad. Excuse me."
Chiro backed up as Amy shoved her feet into her shoes, snagged her backpack from next to them, and crossed the kitchen to the door to the hallway out. She turned back as she slipped the backpack on, flashing him a grin. "I'll be back soon, so I can help you guys find a way home." And she then left him to pick off the fuzzy tufts of lint from her clothes.
Outside she trumped down her front steps and went over to her bike, and was getting on when a voide startled her almost into letting it tip over onto the asfault. "Good morning, Amy. Where are you headed?"
Amy looked around the yard and driveway. Where...? Then her head went up, and she found him. Antauri had, somehow, found his way to the roof.
Now what was he doing up THERE?
"I'm headed to school. I told Chiro what it was, so you might be able to get a brief description from him, since I'm in a hurry. Now, since the yard is big, Chiro can learn his fighting back here, or maybe even up there. My grandfather's tools are hanging about every odd place, if Otto wants to use any, and there's a video game system hooked to the TV as well as the computer if anyone gets bored. I'll be gone a good 8 hours, I'm afraid, but the moment school's over I'll come directly home. See you then, Antauri!" And she hopped onto her bicycle and zipped down the northern side of her horseshoe driveway and down the street.
Antauri watched after her. "She really does know us," he mused quietly.

And 8 hours later, Amy was headed home again, a load of homework and books in her backpack as she sped home.
"--nowhere to run--" she heard, passing an alley way similar to the one she'd found the Hyperforce in. Wait, what?
She screeched her bike to a stop, then swung off, leaning it against a building with her backpack as she then zipped back to where she'd heard the voice.
"--with me, or suffer the consuquences."
Something sounded very evil bout these words, in both context AND texture. Her head crept around the corner of the building, and what she found was the back of a large...robot?
Her blood ran cold. The TV-Monster was here. And only one face would be showing on the screen on its other side.
The Skeleton King.
This was SO not good.
