Sora woke up feeling quite chipper.

The morning sun felt nice, the breeze from the ocean felt refreshing and gave the air that salty sweet smell. Though she didn't think the sweet part came from the ocean. It seemed to be coming from the cafeteria which made her craving for some pancakes.

Oceans smelling sweet...She giggled at the funny thought.

She put on her jean shorts and slipped on a white tank top with a big smiley sun printed on the front.

Life felt great right now and she knew it was.

May was her friend, Layla was proud of her, Leon was still pretty antisocial but he wasn't Mr. Crabby Pants, and the stage was getting a lot of visitors after the Swan Lake and quirky fun show with Rosetta and her acting as the leads.

The Boss even gave her a bonus.

She smiled and grabbed a food tray. Yeppers, things seem to be looking up! The only problem she had was choosing between a fruit cup or just snagging a banana.

"Good morning Sora."

"Morning Ken!"

She started a little when Ken's arm brushed against hers. Oh, I must be taking too long. Ken was hungry and she was holding up the line. She really had a hard time making fast decisions. With that she picked up a fruit cup and then walked down the line.

Sora didn't notice, but Ken frowned a little at her lack of reaction.

She hummed as she poured some set up pancake batter into the waffle maker. Her mouth watered as she thought about what toppings she was going to put on it. Strawberries for sure and maybe some whipped cream...

"So..."came Ken's voice next to her. "The Cape Mary carnival's coming up."

She looked over at him with a smile. "Yeah, I can't wait to go!" The waffle maker beeped and she opened it. "The Boss said that the acrobats there gave us some tickets to see their show in the big top."

"Us?" She missed the hopeful lilt in his voice.

"You and me," she used her fork to get the stubborn waffle out, "and Rosetta and May, even Leon if he wants to go." She let out a triumphant 'ahah!' when her breakfast was released from its confinement.

He let out a low groan of disappointment. There were too many names listed in the invitees.

"Anna and Mia were invited, but there's a magic show at the same time so Anna's skipping out. Mia's going there with a date, so she declined."

The word 'date' made him perk up. "Speaking of dates, we could-"

"Sora!" Rosetta hugged the girl from behind. "Thank you so much for the carnival ticket! I can't wait to go!"

The redhead turned away from Ken and hugged the girl back. "It's going to be fun with us going as one fun group! Right Ken?"

"...Right."
