Anita clapped giddily as she rode on Gabrielles shoulders. The two girls marched around the union waking up the other members as morning ticked one. Gab had incited Anita’s help with the task of a morning wake up call and the young girl was happy to accept with the prospect of being the reason the members hesitantly grumbled awake. That is how they ended up stomping through the halls yelling “WAKE UP” as they passed doors. Most people had exited the safety of their bedrooms, knowing it would only get worse if the elected to huddle up in their room in hide. Some of them were happy to be awake and start a new day, Lauren for example came bounding out of her room in green frog pyjamas with a cheerful good morning leaving her lips as she passed by. Kaylee did a little dance as she passed, humming a song as she went with a smile on the face, she stopped at the two other girls “good morning Anita, how’d you sleep?” She asked in a cheery tone. Anita smiled at her before responding in a similar tone “I slept good, I watched the sunset with Uncle Donar and now I’m helping Aunty Gab wake everyone up” she responded, Kaylee laughed and skipped off, offering a have fun as she left. Gab and Anita kept marching until they had gone past every bedroom door in the union yet they were still missing a few espers. Gab gently reached up and took Anita off of her shoulders “ I’m going to open the door to Tang Xuan’s room now, you’re going to run and jump on his bed until he wakes up, can you do that for me?” She requested, Anita shook her head up and down as a conformation, Gab gave her a thumbs up and they set off on their mission. Gabrielle gently slid open Xuan’s door, careful not to be the one that wakes him up, she indicated for Anita to go in and the girl began to tip toe towards the bed, once there she clambered to get onto it and looked back at Gab for assurance. Gabrielle saw her hesitation and nodded enthusiastically, that was all it took, the child jumped up and down giggling all the way shocking Xuan awake. The young man screamed and fell off his bed at the commotion but somehow he still wasn’t quite awake. Xuan squinted around the room and confused sounds were the only noise he seemed capable of making. Gab walked up to him and picked him up by his shoulders in order to place him on his feet and slap his tired body into the hallway for breakfast. She smiled and put her hands on her hips in a proud manner “good job Anita, same time tomorrow?” She asked, Anita allowed for a sinister smile to grace her lips “next time, we target Lewis” she says darkly, Gab nods and smiles “I like the way you think.
