--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the early morning, you knew it. But you weren't much in the mood to get up. It was too early for you. You closed your eyes, making the illusion of a sleeping woman, when in reality, you were trying to sleep. It's strange really to you.

You arent much of a morning person, but there would be times you randomly wake up early. Maybe around six or seven in the morning, sometimes even three. You hated it. It always took patients and a long wait until you would fall asleep again, and wake up being extremely exhausted just because you woke up five hours earlier then you normally wake up.

You were your own alarm clock, only broken.

You heard rustling noises behind you going on for a moment before the sounds became calm. Even Jessica was still sleeping, which you found a tad bit abnormal. She was the one to wake early, not sleep in. But you shrugged it off and nuzzled your face into your pillow. Blissful relief. For once, you were sleeping in a bed, and not on the hard dirt floor.

Sure these beds were kind of lanky and at some points, you could feel something hard poking your back every time you moved, but it was still a bed. You let out a sigh and tried to drift off again until you heard the front door open. You didn't open your eyes to see who it was. You were too tired to try.

Suddenly you felt someone climb on the bed, lowering the mattress with their light weight. You soon felt them begin to jump on the bed and you immediately knew who it was.

"C'mon _________, it's time to get up! The sun is out!" Emily shouted happily. Geez, what was up with kids and waking up early all hyper? You only let out a groan as she continued to jump. "It's time to get up!" she continued. You only pulled the pillow over your head, hoping to drown out her shouts. You heard her giggle then her jumping settled. She fell on her knees, gently pulling the pillow away from your face. She smiled when your eyes met. You only impishly grinned, pulling her down, her back against the mattress and you began tickling her sides. She squealed, laughed and begged for you to stop but you only continued.

"You must be punished for waking me up early," you told her, adding an evil laugh for the act. She laughed louder.

"Would you two be quiet, Jessie needs her beauty sleep," Jessica moaned, looking at the two of you tiredly. You suppressed the tickling to listen to her.

"But it's time to get up!" Emily said in her sweetest voice. You lightly chuckled before taking you hands away from her sides and getting up from the bed. It was too late; there was no way you were going to sleep in now.

"I get the shower first," you announced, stepping in the washroom while attempting to fix your bed hair.

"Yeah, yeah," Jessica replied, dropping her head back onto the pillow.

"Emily, just sit tight, and I'll be with you after, okay?" you asked her.

" 'Kay," she replied. You smiled and closed the door behind you and locked it. You went ahead and turn on the shower head before looking in the mirror of your reflection. Your hair was messy, your eyes glazed over and puffy. You yawned and began to strip from your clothes. You entered the shower, letting your hair and body soak before grabbing a motel shampoo bottle. You grabbed it, pouring it over your hair and began washing your scalp. After bathing out the dirt collected on your body from the days spent at the forest, you got out. You looked through the many clothes in your bag by the side against the wall. After much contemplation, you decided on a red, thin strapped tank top, and dark blue jeans. You exited the washroom, drying your hair with a towel while you were greeted by Emily.

"I'm hungry," was the first thing she said to you. You silently smiled.

"Okay, let's go find something for you to eat," you replied, throwing the towel over the messy bed. Jessica was still lying on her mattress, her head up against the pillow. You threw the sheets away from her body in an attempt to wake her up.

She curled up in a ball, startled by the sudden cold. "Wake up, man," you told her. She flipped you off, but in a hidden way so Emily couldn't witness it. You only smirked, looking back to Emily and offering her hand. It was then that you had noticed she was already dressed. She wore a pink T-shirt with faded blue shorts. Her hair was put up in two high ponytails on each side of her head, which were tied in pink bows. The ponytails were cutely curled at the ends.

"Are you going to make breakfast?" Emily asked, pulling you towards the door. You opened it, the two of you stepping out in the bright, warm sunlight.

"Yeah, sure, what would you like?" you asked her. She thought for a moment, starring up at the sky as if looking for the answers up there.

"Pancakes!" she suddenly answered. You nodded.

"Pancakes it is then, let's go get the batter," you told her. She smiled widely, practically beginning to drag you towards one of the convenient stores. "Hey, Emily, where's Pongo?" She shrugged.

"Running around, I think."

"Hm, fair enough." The two of you went through the many isles, picking up snacks, maple syrup, pancake batter, milk, chocolate syrup and eggs. You placed all the substances in a plastic bag and the two of you walked towards the restaurant where you had spent your lunch and dinner yesterday. Emily gladly opened the door for you, entering after you had. You strode towards the back of the restaurant to the kitchen to start breakfast for everyone. Emily wanted to help as much as she can, and you let her. But only if she was very careful of not burning herself while you worked on making coffee for all the adults and hot chocolate for Emily.

Emily helped out with setting up a large table for the five of you, while you began to flip the pancakes onto the clean white plates, set with scrabbled eggs to the side. The young girl worked on getting the plates on the table while you deal with the hot drinks. You didn't want her to accidentally spill the very hot liquids on herself.

"Emily, can you grab the napkins?" you asked. She nodded her head before entering to the kitchen to get the extra napkins. You set the last of the cups on the brown table when you heard the entrance door open. You jerked your head up, half expecting it to be Jessica or Leon but to your surprise it was Luis. He looked at the table curiously, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Is this all for us?" he asked, walking towards the table.

"Hey, you can't be the only one that gets to cook," you winked playfully and he only chuckled.

"Where's the little senorita?" he asked. You opened up your mouth to answer when Emily came out of the back door with piles of napkins in her hands.

"Does that answer your question?" you remarked.

"Good morning," Luis said politely to the young girl. Blood rushed up to Emily's cheeks, as she smiled shyly.

"M-Morning," she replied bashfully. Maybe Leon wasn't the only one Emily had a crush on. Luis grinned at her before looking back at you.

"Are you the only one up?" he asked. You nodded your head.

"Jessica is completely out of it, but I don't know about Leon. I'm going to try and wake the two up; you don't mind watching over Emily, do you?"

"Not at all," he said. You smiled.

"Thanks, Luis." With that, you made your way through and out the entrance doors onto the street. You quickened your pace towards the motel to wake the two up before the food and coffee got cold. You decided to go to awake Jessica first. You entered into the room the two of you were sharing but her bed was empty. That was until you heard the sound of running water. Leisurely you walked up to the washroom door and knocked three times, leaning against it.

"Yeah?" Jessica called out from the other side.

"Breakfast is ready, so after you're done, get your ass to the restaurant, okay?" you told her.

"Yep," she replied before you leaned away from the door. You walked out of the room, closing the door behind you and walking towards Leon's. His room was about two doors down to the left from yours. You knocked before slowly opening the door. You smiled at the sight. Leon was still sleeping soundly, his head tilted to the side over the pillow.

"Heh, cute," you remarked and walked up to the bed. The bed sheets were covering the lower half of his body, his well toned chest clearly visible. You smiled and slipped in the bed beside him, tucking your hand under your head as you watched him breathe softly. You leaned in, lightly pressing your lips against his. You pulled away and you saw his eyelids begin to flutter open. "Morning, sunshine," you told him. He looked at you with fatigue but his gaze softened.

"Morning, beautiful," he replied back, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you closer to him. He kissed your forehead. Oh yeah, it may take a while before the two of you got off the bed. Damn Leon, and those beautiful eyes of his. No scratch that, bless him for being so adorable.

*Author's Note: Er, one more for tonight, then I may just get a start on Devil May Cry, which I remind you, I just got permission to put it up. So again, I don't own it, and it's DestinedShadow's story, again. If anyone's interested, anyway.

Wow, so Emily likes both Luis and Leon, huh? Well..... hmm...she's still in the way, so I'm still going to have to hate her.
