I'm sorry. This one's short, unfortunately. Not gonna make you wait any longer. Enjoy! :)

Amy woke up to the sun rays, shining down on her face. She groaned and turned to her side, pulling her blanket up along the way, to shield her eyes from the light.

After all these years, why does she always forget to close the curtains before sleeping? Even when she's at her dorm, it's always like this every single time. It costs her rest time though it has proven itself useful in some times. Like when she needs to wake up early, no need for alarms. But she still needs to get rid of the habit. Next time, that is. She checked the time.

6:45.

Too early to get up. She pulled her blanket up to cover her eyes and laid on her back. She sighed and closed her eyes in n attempt to sleep again. Soon, she did.

Dan got out of his so-called bed and stretched his arms. He looked to the side and found Fiske's bed neatly arranged. As expected of Fiske, always so early. He went out of the room and headed for the kitchen.

"Good morning." Fiske greeted him.

"Morning." he said in a rough voice. He grabbed a glass of water and drank it. Then he cleared his throat.

"Much better." Dan said in his normal voice. He peeked over Fiske's shoulder. "What'cha making?"

"Pancakes." Fiske replied.

"Again!?" Dan complained.

Fiske leered at Dan. "You want Mrs. Nelson's pie?"

Dan's face crunched up in disgust. Mrs. Nelson was their neighbor since they moved in. She was a widow and sadly, she didn't have any children. Though she was alone, she was so hospitable to them. Once, she brought them shepherd's pie that she made, according to her. And Dan's got to admit, it wasn't that bad. It was the worst!

Dan felt like throwing up as he tasted the pie in his mouth. He covered his mouth and shook his head in refusal.

Fiske grinned. "No? Pancakes, it is! So deal with it!"

"Fine." Dan sighed in defeat.

Before turning around, Fiske called Dan without turning around. "Hey, Dan, set the table."

Dan pouted.

"Come on, Dan. Set the table. Don't you dare do that pouting thing again!" Fiske warned.

"I wasn't!" Dan denied.

Fiske looked at him over his shoulder. "Yes, you were." Then he continued to make pancakes.

Dan rolled his eyes. He took out plates from the cupboard and placed them on the table. After setting the table, Dan grabbed the remote and sat on the couch. He turned the television on. There's really not much to do in the morning. It was Christmas break so there was no classes. Basically, he was free to do anything as long as it doesn't involve illegal stuff or something.

He scanned through the channels. News. Boring movie. Kiddy shows. News. News again. He kept on pressing the next until he already went through all the channels then he turned the television off at last. He groaned. So boring.

He saw the clock hanging on the wall. 9:15. It's already past 8 and Amy's still not up. Now, that is weird. Usually, she's the first or second to get up but never the last because that is his place. Anyway, they didn't even do anything last night to keep her up so late.

His mind got distracted when he heard Fiske place a plate of pancakes on the dining table. He looked at Fiske who was looking back at him.

"Amy's still not up?" he asked.

"Yeah." Dan replied.

"Oh, very unusual."

"I know, right?" Dan smirked.

"Oh well, wake her up. Ian too."

"Sir, yes, sir!" said Dan as he saluted to Fiske.

He turned around and went to the first door which was Amy's. He didn't even bother to knock and he knows Amy doesn't lock her door. Might as well use that as an advantage. He quickly opened the door.

Thud!

Amy shot her eyes open. What was that? She tried to stay as silent as possible as she felt someone walk across her room. She winced as she heard loud claps then the sound of curtains being opened followed. So noisy! Who is that?

"Rise and shine, my sister!"

She groaned. Of course, there was only one person. Dan.

"Come on. Breakfast is ready!"

She turned around and pulled the blanket over her head. "Later." she murmured.

"Whatever! I'll get Ian."

Then she heard the door close.

Dan closed the door as he got out of Amy's room. He went to the next room beside Amy's. It was Ian's door. Well logically, it was his room but since Ian was there. Anyway, he went to knock on his door.

Knock! Knock!

There was no answer.

Knock! Knock!

There was still no answer. Dan frowned. Was he still asleep? He knocked a little harder.

"Hey, Kabra! Wake up!" he said.

After a few moments, all Dan heard was silence. He tried the doorknob. It wasn't locked. Slowly, he turned the knob and peered inside. He was surprised to find that everything was arranged. The bed looked like it was not slept. The room was just as it was.

Bang!

Amy groaned again as Dan banged the door open.

"What is it?" she asked sleepily.

"He's gone." he said.

This made her stiffen. She quickly sat up in her bed. She looked at Dan seriously. "Don't joke arou-"

He cut her off. "I'm not, Amy. He's not there."

Dan saw a wave of panic wash over her. She quickly stood up and went past him. She ran to his room. She bit her lower lip.

Dan was right. He's not there. He is gone.

Dun! Dun! Dun! He's gone! :o

Please review! I want to thank you guys again! Really, guys, it's really overwhelming and I really, really appreciate it. Thank you so much!

*Bad Ian! Bad, bad Ian!
