Bell floated her way downstairs, humming to herself. It really was a shame she was one of the only morning people on her team. Fries and Eraser always slept in. Foldy and Marker weren't morning people at all. And with Puffball and Yellow Face, they usually slept too late to greet the morning.

So, the morning was a special little time, for Bell only. She'd go outside and soak up some sun, maybe spend some more time by herself, and then wake the rest of her teammates. It was peaceful. She'd sometimes share a morning with Foldy, Puffball, or even Fries; those days were also nice. But today, it looked like she would be by herself again.

"Hey, Bell," Eraser said from the bottom of the stairs.

Or not.

"Hey, Eraser!" Bell chirped, "what are you doing up so early? Not that I mind!"

He shrugged. "Thought I'd try out this whole morning thing for once." He sipped on a cup of coffee, and pursed his lips. "Not really liking it so far."

Bell giggled. "Don't worry, it gets better!" She turned to the window. It was still dark outside, but that was hardly a problem. First, she had to actually wake Eraser up. He couldn't fully enjoy the wonders of the morning if he was half-asleep.

"First order of business," Bell commanded, "put down that coffee! We're going outside!"

"Ohhh-kay," Eraser mumbled, setting his warm coffee on the table. Bell ushered him outside into the predawn night, where the stars and the moon still sparkled in the sky. Of course, Bell couldn't care less about the moon, but she found the stars quite nice. She pushed the door closed behind them.

"Now, take a deeeeeep breath," she instructed, "and let out all the sounds that are trapped in your mind."

In unison, Eraser and Bell filled themselves with the cool air, and-

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" Bell shrieked, screaming herself raw at the moon. Eraser's hands flew to his ears, wincing from the onslaught of noise.

"Ow, Bell! You're going to wake everyone up!" he complained.

"But you're awake now, huh?" she hummed. Eraser rolled his eyes.

"Sure, sure. But is this what you do in the mornings?"

Bell swung a little. "Not all the time, but it's very stress-relieving! You wanna try?"

Eraser sighed, and breathed deeply.

"Aaahhhhhh!" he screamed, flailing his arms about.

"Be quiet! I'm trying to get my beauty sleep!" someone screeched. Eraser and Bell snickered.

"I admit, that was pretty cool," Eraser chuckled. "But now what?"

Bell rose, and perched herself atop the roof of Free Food's team house. "Now, we watch the sunrise! Come on!"

Eraser looked at Bell, then at the house.

"I can't climb that."

Bell pouted. There was a problem. The experience wasn't really complete without the full view of the sunrise. Of course, there was a solution, but Bell didn't really like it, considering what happened last time she let Eraser anywhere near her string.

She sighed. She had to do what she had to do, she supposed.

Bell floated back down to Eraser. "Okay then, get on. You can climb my string up to the roof- but only until there!" she warned.

With an affirmative nod, Eraser grabbed hold of the string, and pulled himself up to the roof. He landed on its red shingles with a whump. Bell followed Eraser up, glad that he didn't violate her space again.

"And now," Bell faced east, "we wait."

Eraser sat beside her. "For the sunrise?"

"Mhm!"

"How long is that going to take?" Eraser asked, squinting towards the horizon. Light was beginning to show, but only a little bit.

"It won't take too long," Bell reassured. "The sun rises quicker than you think it does."

The two objects watched as the red sun peeked out from behind the skyline, bathing the world in light. The reds and orange drove away the darkness, and shone upon Bell and Eraser. Bell in particular reflected the sunrise well, her metalic surface gleaming with its colors.

Yellow followed behind the bold reds and oranges, and most of the nighttime stars had winked out. Clouds streaked pastel in the oncoming light, boasting pink highlights. Bell sighed deeply. At last, one of her favorite parts of the day.

"Isn't this nice?"

Eraser followed suit, smiling blissfully.

"Yeah...this is pretty neat. Almost makes me want to become a morning person."

Bell huffed. "Almost?"

"What can I say?" Eraser shrugged. "I like sleeping. You should try sleeping in sometime, it's only fair."

"Heh. Maybe I will," Bell smirked. She looked toward the light, and continued soaking in the sun's rays.
