Rise and Shine
After the party the night before no one had been excited to go to school the next day, especially the birthday twins.
Addison groaned as the sound of her alarm clock rang through the room. She rolled over, slamming her hand down on the snooze button as a pair of arms wrapped around her waist pulling her back into bed.
"Do we have to get up?" Zed mumbled sleepily into her back.
Addison sighed as she rolled over and brushed the hair from his forehead, giving him a kiss. "Yeah Zed, we gotta get up. Birthdays on school days are the pits."
"First, one more kiss. Right here." Zed replied, opening one eye and grinning slyly as he pointed to his lips.
Addison rolled her eyes and leaned down to press a kiss to his lips. However, the tender moment was ruined when a loud snore caused them to jump apart.
The two stared at eachother with wide eyes until a look of realization crossed both their faces. Addison bit back a laugh as she crawled to the end of her bed and peered down at the floor.
Wyatt was passed out on a sleeping bag with Eliza practically sleeping on top of him with her head on his chest and his arm draped around her waist. Zed and Addison snickered as Wyatt let out another loud snore as she took a picture of the sleeping duo.
"I can't believe Eliza is still asleep with him snoring in her ear." Addison whispered as she reviewed the photos on her phone.
Zed chuckled. "I can. Eliza sleeps like the dead. Word of advice, wake up Wyatt and let him wake her. You do not want to be the one to wake her up from a dead sleep. It's not pretty."
Addison nodded as she reached over the side of the bed and shook Wyatt's shoulder. "Wyatt, it's our birthday. Wake up little brother."
"We're the same age. You're only older by five minutes." Wyatt grumbled, opening his eyes.
Addison giggled as she watched him gather himself. "I know, but it's fun to taunt you. Now can you please wake up Eliza so we can all start getting ready for the day?"
"Do I have to?" Wyatt pouted. "I'm quite content to stay right here."
"Wyatt...." Addison warned. "Now."
"Fine." Wyatt sighed, reaching up to run his fingers through Eliza's hair. "Ellie, rise and shine. Its time to get up."
Eliza made a few incoherent mumbling noises as she buried her face in his chest, refusing to move. Wyatt chuckled at the response before glancing up at Addison and Zed, giving them a 'watch this' gesture.
"Eliza, Zed spilled orange juice on your laptop." Wyatt called out as he gently shook her shoulder.
"He WHAT!?" Eliza screeched bolting upright and looking around frantically. "I'm going to kill him!"
Addison, Zed, and Wyatt burst out laughing as Eliza stared at them with wide eyes. Wyatt sat up and pressed a kiss to her temple between laughs. "Well good morning Sunshine."
Eliza stared at him in disbelief as she realized what he'd done. In one swift movement, Eliza grabbed her pillow and started hounding him. "YOU! whack. TRICKED! whack. ME!" whack.
"I'm sorry! Have mercy!" Wyatt pleaded between laughs as he shielded his face. "I didn't know how else to wake you up!"
Eliza threw down her pillow with a huff and crossed her arms. "NEVER, joke about my laptop. I built that thing with my own two hands. It was the only thing that kept me sane while we were locked up in that town. It--"
Wyatt pressed a kiss to her lips, cutting off her rant. After a moment he slowly pulled away, locking his eyes with hers. "I know Ellie, I know. I'm sorry if I upset you with my joke. I won't do it again, I promise."
Eliza took a deep breath, calming herself down before speaking. "I know you won't, because when you make a promise you keep it. Now, no more rude awakenings okay?"
"No more rude awakenings, I promise." Wyatt nodded, helping Eliza fo her feet. "Now let's go see what's cooking because something smells delicious."
The others nodded in agreement and they all headed downstairs. When they got to the kitchen they found Willa, Wynter, Bree, and Bonzo waiting for them.
Bonzo was at the stove flipping pancakes while Bree distributed food onto plates. Addison bit back a laugh when she realized Bonzo was wearing her dad's 'kiss the cook' apron.
Bonzo looked up and smiled when he noticed them in the doorway, giving them a wave with his free hand. "Grodge grornzing! (Good morning!)"
"Good morning Bonzo." Addison smiles as their small group makes their way into the kitchen. "Did you make all this?"
Bonzo nods enthusiastically. "Za. Zu ziggy? (Yeah. You hungry?)"
"Starving buddy." Zed cuts in as Bonzo takes the last if the pancakes out of the pan. "What's for breakfast?"
Bree smiles as she passes out the plates. "Bonzo made pancakes and bacon for everyone, but we are having eggs while you guys get Cauliflour brains. Cause, you know."
"Yeah, I know." Zed chuckled, taking his plate. "But it smells great."
Everyone nodded in agreement as they began to eat. Silence engulfed the room as everyone filled their bellies. After a while it was Addison who finished first. She walked over and placed her plate in the sink and turned on the water so they could wash their dishes. While the water ran she turned to Bonzo who was leaning against the counter eating his meal.
"Bonzo, gazar ru. (Thank you)" Addison smiled, thanking him in zombie using one of the few phrases Zed had taught her.
Bonzo smiled back at her, then his brow furrowed in concentration as he spoke. "Er 'elcome Addiska."
Everyone in the room froze as they turned to stare at Bonzo in disbelief. The room was silent until Zed spoke up. "Bonzo, buddy, did you just try to speak English?"
"Za. (Yeah)" Bonzo nodded, a light blushing forming on his cheeks as he looked over at Bree. "Ag grezey ar gorn zu Breeska, ba har gornza zu zag. (I'm trying to learn for Bree, like she learned for me.)"
"Oh Bonzo." Bree gushed, coming over to give him a hug. "That's so sweet."
Bonzo hugged her back as he leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Agzing zu ru. (Anything for you.)"
Everyone smiled warmly at the happy couple as Addison washed the dishes. Willa finished off her plate and handed it to her as she leaned on the counter. "You'll have to tell your parents thanks again for letting us all crash here last night. It was way easier than dragging Wynter home."
"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry!?" Wynter whined as she handed over her plate. "The cake was just so good!"
"We know." Wyatt sighed, placing his plate in the sink. "But you're old enough to know better Wynter. You know what happens when you have too much sugar."
"I get superduper hyper and then I crash, I know." Wynter sighed. "I'll be more careful, I promise."
"Thank you." Willa sighed. "Now we all better start getting dressed, we're going to have to leave soon."
Addison nodded, washing up the last of the dishes. "Willa's right. We need to be heading out the door in twenty minutes or we'll be late to school."
Everyone nodded in agreement and headed upstairs to get ready. The girls changed in Addison's room while the boys got ready in the spare bedroom where Bree and Bonzo had slept the night before.
Once everyone was ready they met downstairs and grabbed their backpacks which were lined up by the door. They all headed outside and divided into two groups. Bree, Bonzo, and Wynter went with Addison in her white car while Willa, Wyatt, and Eliza went with Zed in his black jeep.
Addison had gotten her car as a christmas gift from her parents while Zed had bought his jeep from a used car lot with money he'd saved from doing odd jobs around Zombie Town.
Addison's parents had offered to buy Wyatt a car as well but he politely declined. After spending his whole life in the woods, Wyatt was used to counting on his own two feet. Plus, he'd never learned to drive so what would he do with a car? Maybe in the future he'd warm up to the idea, but for right now he was good. Besides, it wasn't like the Den or Seabrooke University were that far away. He could wait a little longer to learn.
Addison smiled as everyone climbed into the cars and prepared to leave. Who would have thought she would have had a sleepover with Zombies and Werewolves? Let alone share a bed with Zed? As they pulled out of her driveway Addison couldn't help but think this birthday was already off to a great start.
