Dana sat up suddenly, “Right. Come on. Get up.”

Alice pulled herself up onto her elbows, a confused look on her face. “Wha-”

“I told you last night, I’ve got a big day planned for us.”

Alice raised her hips slightly, lifting Dana with her, a smirk played across her lips, “I kinda had some plans of my own.”

Dana leant down and kissed Alice, “Later.”

She jumped up off the bed and reached down to the discarded tray on the floor. Handing it to Alice, “Now, eat your breakfast. I ‘m going to shower.”

Dana skipped out of the room. Alice pouted, muttering under her breath, “Okay Mom.”

————————————————————————————-

Dana stood under the warm running water, letting it wash over her, mentally going over her plans for the day ahead. It had been a long time since she and Alice had both had a whole day free at the same time and she didn’t want to waste a single minute of it. A smile spread across her face as she began to hum, shampooing her hair. She heard the bathroom door open and the familiar pad of Alice’s bare feet make their way over to the sink.

Alice rubbed her eyes and looked in the mirror. She was pleased that her and Dana would finally get to spend the whole day together for the first time in weeks, but she hadn’t expected to have to give up a lie-in for the privilege. As she reached for her toothbrush she heard Dana humming over the running water of the shower, she cocked her head to one side, “Dana?”

Dana paused her humming momentarily, “Yes?”

Alice padded over to the bathtub and pulled the shower curtain aside slightly, sticking her head around it to face Dana. “Is that Aerosmith I hear you humming?”

“Yeah,” Dana turned back around and continued to wash herself, “why?”

Alice smirked then shook her head slightly, “Just checking.”

She made as if to go back to the sink, letting the shower curtain fall back into place but standing just behind it, waiting for Dana to resume her song. Dana rinsed the last of the suds out of her hair, she had started to sing some of the words to the song now; it was putting her in an even better mood, if that was possible. Suddenly the shower curtain swished away to one side to reveal Alice, still in her pyjamas, arms spread wide, singing at the top of her voice, “I don’t wanna close my eeeeeyes, I don’t wanna faaaaall asleeeep, Cos I’ll miss you babe, and I don’t wanna miss a thiiiiiing.”
