Maddie had been up since five in the morning, playfully arguing with a group of guys on XBOX's COD: Black Ops2. Having an overly cute username and profile picture always led people to underestimate her, but once in action she was always the best on her team.....which earned her smart remarks from those she played alongside, this morning was no different.
However shortly after the sun had risen into the sky Maddie would hear one or two of her parents downstairs laughing, taking that as a que to sign off and rejoin reality.
"Later cupcakes!" she jokingly said into her mic, before removing her headset and then logging off.
Dressed in her usual
Adventure Time pajamas and a pair of rainbow toe-socks Maddie would make her way out her bedroom door, slide down the hardwood hallway and then gallop down the winding staircase before dramatically jumping from the third step onto the first floor - something that got her mothers attention.
"And Madison Pines comes in for the landing and....Sticks it!" the blonde joked as she held onto a cup of Cappuccino. Maddie played along an bowed towards her mom, acting as if she had just pulled off an olympic-worthy Long Jump.
"Thank you, thank you very much! Now can an amazingly talented athlete, like myself, get some of your Cappuccino as a reward?" she'd ask as she pulled her long hair back into a ponytail via the scrunchie around her wrist.
When her mother rolled her eyes Maddie dropped the theatrics and turned into an average daughter who wanted something.
"Come on mom, pleaseeee? I'll buy the next batch - promise!" Her mother would act like she had to think about it before agreeing to the deal - when in reality she would of let Maddie have as many cups as she wanted, the act was all a bid to not overly spoil her children.
After making a cup Maddie would stand beside her mother, who sat on a swivel stool at the
Kitchen's bar. The two would talk about random things for a few minutes until her father came out of the first-floor Master Suite.
"Morning daddy!" she'd call out before her father gave her a bear-hug. It was then she realized both her parents were fully dressed.
"Hey, where are you two going??""Don't tell me you forgot?!" her father said as he walked into the Kitchen for a cup of black coffee.
"Forgot what?"Her parents would remind her that today was the day her Aunt and baby niece were coming into town, and that after they picked her up form the airport they'd go food shopping to stock up - meaning they'd be gone for hours.
Maddie face-palmed herself.
"Ah I completely forgot!""Well," her mother began as she stood up and started to put on her coat.
"-just make sure you and your brother don't tear up the house before we get back okay?""Oh yeah, because we always tear up the house when you leave for half the day!"Her sarcastic tone would cause her father to jokingly pop her in the back of the head before laughing as he approached the door.
"She's landing in the city so it'll take us three hours each way. Throw in some shopping we'll probably get back around two or three, would be nice if you two were here to greet your Auntie kay?""Okay mom"Her parents would call out an "I Love You" to her brother before leaving through the front door.
As her parents started up the car Maddie slid into the Kitchen an opened the refrigerator - finding nothing she was in the mood for.
Hungry, she'd pick up the phone to order a Pizza until she realized no place delivers until 11am, so after thinking things over for a moment she'd decide to throw on her
Nylan Cat Hoodie, slip her rainbow toe-socks into a pair of clear flip flops, and head over to the Cafe half a mile up the road.
Before she left though she'd write a note to her brother in large font and stick it on the refrigerator door, it read;
"Hey, mom and dad went to pick up Aunt Kelly and the new baby, I'm gonna go get us some breakfast - all our favorites!
- Maddie"
A few minutes later Maddie was waiting in line inside the warm shop, which was simply named "The Cafe". She'd order her brothers favorites and then her own favorite before throwing in an order for a Coffee Cake - which wasn't quite ready. So after paying she'd take a seat at a table to wait, sipping on the free hot chocolate the guy behind the counter gave to her.
Like always she was completely oblivious to the fact that the guy liked her, she simply thought he was being nice - something she assumes of any guy who likes her, since romantic attraction usually flys right over her head.
"I wonder where Jordan is!" she'd think as she started out the storefront windows, before pulling out her phone and texting her friend:
"Hey, still sleeping like a bum!?? :P"
