It was 7 o’clock in the morning and Polka was wide awake, which was extremely unusual for the fennec. She was currently in the kitchen, she was planning something. A salad was made and sitting in a bowl on the counter, along with a dozen eggs and a package of bacon on standby.
“Now how to do this without waking them up..”
Polka was whispering to herself as she put the pans with olive oil down on the stove top as quietly as she could, she was trying not to wake her partners up. 5th gen had a very busy day yesterday, all four of them were up pretty late. Polka placed some pieces of bacon down in the olive oil before cracking a few eggs, beginning the first batch of breakfast. She was making scrambled eggs, bacon, and a salad for breakfast, for her amazing partners. The fennec grabbed some onions and began chopping away.
“Now this is unusual.”
Polka jumped and quickly turned around, startled. Her eyes met Botan’s. The lioness was standing in the hallway, her arms were crossed as she leaned against the wall, watching the fennec in amusement.
“Jeez, don’t do that Shishiron!”
Botan giggled as she approached Polka and wrapped her arms around her, the lioness kissed her cheek.
“What are you doing up so early?”
“Making breakfast.”
“Why this early?”
“Why not?”
Polka placed her knife down and moved back to the eggs. She broke the eggs up and scrambled them around before flipping them, she also flipped the bacon. Botan was watching over her shoulder. Noises from down the hall could be heard, seems like another person woke up. So much for being quiet.
“Good morning, Lamy.”
“Good morning Shishiron, what are you two doing so early?”
“Omaru’s making breakfast.”
Lamy sat down at the table, Polka could feel the snow elf’s confused gaze at the back of her head. Was it really that weird for her to be awake right now? Polka took the eggs off the stove top and set them aside before taking the fried bacon and placing them on a plate, adding more pieces into the olive oil. The sizzling noises were so satisfying.
“Good morning Nenechi.”
Nene yawned and stretched as she sat down beside Lamy, Botan following suit.
“It’s too early..”
Seems like Nene is tired. Polka brought the bowl of salad to the table before removing the bacon from the burner. The fennec filled her partners’ plates for them and placed them down on the table. Polka sat down and ate with them after cleaning up a bit. Polka felt multiple sets of eyes on her, she looked up to find Botan, Lamy, and Nene staring at her. She suddenly felt shy.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
Polka raised an eyebrow, is it really so weird for her to be awake at this hour?
.

“Where are we going, Omarun?”
It was now the afternoon, Polka had taken her partners out for the day. They were walking around in the mall, Polka was searching for one specific shop.
“The store you always go to for bug nets.”
“Why?”
“Your net broke, didn’t it? I’m buying you a new one.”
Nene’s eyes widened in surprise while Botan and Lamy looked at her, Polka flicked her ear. Why were they looking at her like that?
“You don’t have to do that!”
“I want to.”
The four girls entered the shop, they walked up and down the aisles of bug nets. Polka smiled as she watched Nene look excitedly around the place. She sure does love bug related things.
.
.
5th gen had explored the entire mall, as well as a liquor store that was just down the road. The fennec had bought Nene a pastel orange bug net and new containers and grub for her beetles, Botan some nerf guns, and Lamy some good tasting alcohol. She had also treated them to lunch and dinner. They were home now, all four of them were on the couch. Polka was relaxing in Lamy’s arms, greatly enjoying the feeling of Lamy gently rubbing her back. The fennec yawned as she nuzzled closer to the snow elf. Lamy giggled.
“Tired?”
Polka nodded, she felt Botan and Nene move in to snuggle with her and Lamy. Polka closed her eyes as she listened to Botan’s soft purring.
“What was all that today, Omaru?”
Polka pulled her partners in closer, staying silent for a moment before answering in a near whisper.
“You guys always spoil me, so I wanted to spoil you back..”
“You didn’t have to do that.”
“I wanted to..”
Polka felt Nene gently kiss her cheek, Polka smiled happily.
“We love you, Omarun.”
That was the last thing she heard before Polka fell asleep, snuggling with her partners.
