"ROSE! CRIMSON! ANYPONY!" This isn't happening, this isn't happening, this isn't happening. "HEEEELP!" I hear hooves coming down the hall. Yes, it's my savior, it's the one who can get me out of this predicament, it's... "What is it, what happ..." My door slams open to reveal who it is. Damn it, it's Rose. "Stuck again, I see." She says, not even trying to hide the annoyance in her voice. As you can tell, I'm stuck in the sheets, again. Ugh, you'd think I'd learn by now to kick the sheets off before I go to bed. I didn't and that's that. "Help. Me." I can just barely talk, I think I ruined my voice for a while. It's what I get for yelling for two minutes with no rest. It was an emergency. I could have died. "Can't. Breathe." I think I'm still dying. Damn these heavy blankets. "I really hate it when you wake me up early, just because you think those sheets are heavy. They don't even weigh that much." She begins to walk off, where does she think she's going. I have to get to school. Speaking of which, remember when I said I'm an earth pony. Yeah, not really the best type of pony when living in Canterlot. Especially when you go to a school, mostly, for unicorns. It's not Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, but you could call it the next door neighbor. "I still need to get to school. Sis? Rose?" I lift my head to see why she isn't answering me, she walked away. Damn it Rose. She'd better get back here, or at least wake up Crimson. "Hey bro, you need help?" Speak of the devil, Let's hope he can get me out of here. "Hey, think you can get me- WOAH HEY PUT ME DOWN!!!" My blanket and I are cloaked in a ruby glow as I float up into the air. This happens to me at least ten times a month, I should be used to it by now, I'm not. It only takes a few seconds for me to finally slip out of my prison, thanks to my brother, too bad I landed on my face. Slip! Smack! Success! "Ugh, I feel like I've been here before." I say as I rub my forehead. My brother just looks at me with a stare that just screams 'WHAT'. "Did you forget last week already?" He replies in his fatherly voice. "I swear, with all the times I have to do this, I expected you to just kick the blankets off already." He shakes his head as he speaks this. I sit up on my haunches, on the floor, it takes a minute for my brain to catch up with the situation. All I can do is close my eyes and scratch the back of my head, a sheepish smile plastered on my face. "Yeah, sorry bro. Wait." My eyes shoot open as say that last bit, turning my head to look at my alarm clock. "Five twenty-six." I pump my hoof into the air as if I had won a battle, which I did. "YEAH, I beat my alarm clock once more!" My alarm clock is set to go off at six in the morning, I find it as a victory to be fully awake before it goes off. My brother chuckles a little at my display of success, considering I just changed the topic of what was important at the moment. "I'll be downstairs making some pancakes, make sure to put those books in your bags before you come down. We don't want you to forget to return that 'Mare in the Moon' book again." My favorite books are ones that have to do with myths and legends, this one I've forgotten to return to the library for a few days now. My late fee is five bits now. "Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding me." I get up on my hind legs as I walk over to my book shelf, it's not that big, but it can hold more than twenty books. I take out the book titled 'The Mare in the Moon' and walk towards my bags. I modified my bags a little bit. The strap that kept both bags on was now turned into two straps, they slip around my forelegs so when I stand they don't fall off. The two bags were sewn together to make one big bag, I added extra pockets as well. As you can see, I'm far from normal. I don't know why, but my sis doesn't like it when I walk like that. Meh, who cares? I place the book in my bag and set it near my bed. I look out my window to see the sun just rising behind the castle. I point my right hoof towards the castle and place it over my heart, a smirk grows on my face. A look of determination in my eyes. "Heh, I got a good feelin' about today." The smell of blueberry pancakes fill my nose. I love that smell. I walk out my doorway and towards the staircase. Let the day begin!
