Iona spends a good part of the night fighting her thoughts back and forth. Somehow she must have fallen asleep at some point because the next thing she knows she's finding herself being torn from a dream that's quickly fading.
"Good morning, Starshine! The Earth says hello." Nicole jumps on her bed.
Iona grons at the idea of getting up, "It's too early to wake up."
"No, it's not. I've been up ages already."
Iona knows two things at this point; One is that her friend has already gone for a run and done a light workout, and two is that she has no chance of going back to sleep now.
"Come on, we're burning daylight here. Up up up."
"Fine," Iona yawns, "but I want pizza for breakfast."
"Whatever you want." Her friend hugs her.
"Thank you, my sugar mama," Iona laughs enjoying their long-standing inside joke.
