Nia's POV

"Nia, wake up!" I hear a familiar male voice murmur, but still half asleep, I just groan and swat over my shoulder at whoever is interrupting my sleep. I hear them chuckle, then the person starts poking me in the face. I groan and weakly command,

"Go away."

"Come on Nia, you gotta get up! It's a special day!" The person insists, annoying me further.

"Oh really? What day is it then?" I ask.

"It's your birthday! You gotta get ready to come over to my house tonight!" The voice I finally recognize as Saber's exclaims, waking me up immediately. My eyes fly open and I turn onto my other side, grinning at Saber. He smiles at me and starts walking out of my bedroom, questioning, "Are you coming or what?" I leap out of bed, answering his question.

"Let's go!" I exuberantly shout, pushing past him to rush downstairs to eat my birthday breakfast courtesy of my parents.

"Hey Antonia, happy 16th birthday sweetie!" My Mom greets, bringing me into a tight hug.

"Good morning kid, happy birthday!" My dad says, hugging me once my mom lets me go. I grin widely at both of them,

"Thank you both! So, what's for breakfast?" We all laugh as Saber enters the kitchen. He asks me,

"Nia, are you packed?" I scoff,

"Of course I'm packed. You know me, I pack early for everything. I'm ready to spend the week at yours."

"Cool." Saber smiles at me.

"But in separate beds, correct?" My dad buts in, being protective as always. I roll my eyes but dispel his suspicions anyway,

"Yes, father, Saber and I won't be sleeping in the same bed. Calm down." I add, "Also, we haven't slept in the same bed in years. I don't know why you always ask." Since Saber is just a week younger than me, every year since I can remember we spend the whole week together at one of our houses. It switches every year and since last year we spent it at my home, we're spending it at his this year. I'm excited, I like seeing his younger siblings.

"You can never be too careful." My dad reminds me, shaking his pointer finger at me.

"Oh Alaric, leave them alone. You can go over after eating breakfast." My mom lightly scolds my father then tells me. I kiss her cheek, showing my gratitude for sticking up for me,

"Thanks Mom." Saber and I walk out of the kitchen and into the dining room, sitting in our usual seats right next to each other. My mom brings in two plates, both covered in various breakfast foods. There's a few pancakes, a couple pieces of French toast, some cinnamon rolls, a lot of bacon and of course scrambled eggs. All of my favorites.

Man I love getting older.

"Eat up you two!" My mom says, patting us both on the head after placing our plates in front of us.

"Thank you so much Mom! I love you!" I tell her then immediately start digging into my breakfast, Saber thanking my mom too before devouring his breakfast. We finish all of the food quickly, our stomachs full from all of the breakfast deliciousness. We groan in satisfaction and lean back in our seats, letting the food settle a bit before getting up.
