31 My First Breakfas

"Tsk..."

"Hm?"

*creak*

"Alex?"

*creak*

"Alex, wake up"

*tremble*

"Alex, wake up!"

"Ah!" I wake up in a jump.

...

"You're good? You were shaking" Elin tells me.

"Yes... Did I use my fusion again?"

"No"

I'm still trembling.

'What's wrong with me now?'

*creak*

Elin stops leaning and goes back to her side.

"We know almost nothing about us, don't you think?" Elin says.

"..." I turn to see her.

"My life is not very interesting. My parents abandoned me since the day I was born. They took me to an orphanage, but they didn't even bother to say the reason why they did it"

"Elin…"

"After that, I spent the next three years in it. There, they taught me to walk, talk..."

*sigh*

"Although I don't remember many things, I miss everyone..."

"You've never came back?"

"I did once, but it is very different... I got the names of some people I'd like to see, but I haven't done it"

"Why?"

...

"I don't know... When I was three, mom took us all three. Although we were in the same orphanage, we barely talked to each other... Until today I still don't know if it was destiny or she planned it..."

"Planned it?"

"Yes... Right after that, she took us to Xenon and there we spent the next 12 years , studying everything we could at Xenon School. We also did some pranks"

...

"And I think that's it . What about you?"

"Me? Well... there's not much to say either. I lived in the same place all my life. I was just reading books and learning from my dad"

"I understand... What about your horse?"

"Navy? Dad earned money taking care of and selling animals. One day, someone asked him to take care of her, but, after a few months, the owner hadn't returned and I got fond with her, she was the only friend I had"

"..."

"When they came back for her, I begged dad not to take her away, so he decided to buy her from her owner"

"Oh... I guess it was hard for you to let her go"

"Yes, but it was the best for her. If I brought her with me, she would be locked up somewhere. I'd rather she to have a field to run on"

"Yes…"

...

"By the way, what do you say if we take turns washing clothes? The next weekend I will do it and you do it the next one"

"Sounds good"

"And about cleaning, I think we can do it together"

"I agree"

...

"We better go back to sleep, we have to wake up early"

"You're right"

Elin turns around to my opposite side.

But I can not stop thinking about what happened in the morning .

...

"Elin , I have a question"

"What is it?"

"Was it difficult for you to control the Energy?"

She turns on her back.

"It took me several weeks to achieve something decent... Why?"

"I tried to do it in the morning, but Dai told me I was out of control"

"I don't think Dai is the best person to teach, it took him months to just control it a little bit"

"Seriously? And how did he get it?"

...

"I think it would be better if he tells you"

"Fine…"

"Let's go back to sleep"

"Yes"

After a few minutes, I get to sleep.

...

*ring ring*

*ring ring*

"Mmmm..."

*ring ring*

'What is that?'

*ring ring*

*click*

Elin stretches her arm and turns off the alarm.

*yawn*

"Good morning..." Elin says to me, just waking up.

"Good morning" I reply.

...

Elin is still in bed without moving.

"Elin?"

"I'll get up in five minutes... Prepare breakfast..."

"Okay..."

I get up and go downstairs to the kitchen.

'What will they have to cook?'

I open the fridge.

'Hmm... There is milk and butter. I wonder if...'

I search in the whole kitchen.

'Sugar, flour, baking powder, a mixer... Perfect'

I put together all the ingredients and start cooking.

'First, I'll start melting the butter'

I grab a butter bar and cut a few pieces.

*squish* *squish*

I put the pieces in a pan and leave it on top of the stove.

*clank*

'Wait, this stove is not like the one we had at home... It's much more modern'

I watch it with curiosity.

'I hope it works the same...'

I see that the buttons are on a touch screen.

'I guess it's this...'

*ding*

I light the stove at low heat.

'Good, I need to not forget to move it. Now, I have to mix the flour, some salt and baking powder'

I put the necessary quantities in a large container.

*ssss* *clink* *clink*

And I mix it.

*ssss* *ssss*

'Now, the eggs'

I grab an egg and break it .

*crack*

I put it in another container and separate the yolk from the white one.

'I need to put the egg white in another one'

'The butter...'

I move the butter.

*crack*

I break another egg and repeat the process.

'The next thing is to mix the egg yolk, the sugar, the milk and...'

*squish* *squish* *clink*

'There's something missing... The butter!'

I go to the pan and move the butter.

'It's ready'

I grab the pan and I move the butter to the container.

'Well, now I have to add this mixture to the other one'

I tilt the container with the egg yolk mixture to empty it into the container of the flour mixture.

*squaaaaash*

'Let's mix'

I connect the mixer to electricity, I put the container and turn it on.

*click*

*raaaaaaaam*

After a few seconds...

*click*

'There are still lumps'

*click*

*raaaam*

I finish mixing .

'Now let's mix the egg whites'

*click* *raaaaaam*

'Done. I will empty over the other mix'

*fumm*

'And I'll mix carefully with the spoon'

*squash* *squash*

...

'Done. Empty a reasonable portion on the pan and turn up the heat'

*squaaaash*

'This button has a plus sign'

*ding*

*fuzzzzz*

*fuzzzzz*

'It's time to turn it around'

*hash* *clank*

*fuzzzzz*

*fuzzz*

'It's done! Only seven more to go...'

I repeat the process.

Again and again.

*fuzzzz*

*clack* *clack*

'Hm?'

"That smells delicious!" Elin says to me, arriving to the kitchen.

"They are my specialty: Pancakes"

"Awesome! I can't wait…"

'She's ready... Is she drooling?'

*clank*

I put the last pancake on top of the others.

"I finished. Here"

I move the plate and put it on the table.

"Ooooh!" Elin seems ecstatic.

"It's not that good... I made two for each one, so-"

*nom nom nom*

'She already started... I should too'

*bite*

'They came up pretty good'

*nom nom nom*

'It seems she liked it'

I keep eating until I finish my first pancake.

"Did you like it-? What the fuck!"

"I already ate three... Oopsie..."

"..."

'I better not eat another so that Dai and Kuno can eat two'

"Alex... They were incredible!"

"Really?"

"Yes, one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten!"

"I think you're exaggerating..."

"Not at all. When Dai and Kuno eat them they will say the same thing"

"We'll see…"

Elin cleans and stands up.

"You better go to shower, I don't want to be late"

"I'm going. Who will clean this?"

"Don't worry about it"

"Okay…"

I go upstairs to the bathroom and take a quick shower.

I change, I steal some of Elin's makeup and go downstairs.

"I'm ready"

"Let's go to the bookstore"

"Hey, what about the dishes?" I see that the dishes are still dirty.

"I already told you not to worry. Let's go!"
