8:12
Jess woke up later than usual, around 8:12, but it was also summer and she no longer had classes to worry about. However she knew she had to get up and go back to being James, as it was Sophia's birthday and she was expected to be up and present today. She sat up in her bed and reached over to her nightstand for the nail polish remover, and began removing the nail polish from her fingernails. While she was comfortable with having it on in the privacy of her room when no one was downstairs with her, she wasn't sure how the others would react. She gets undressed and changes into her boy clothes, her boy underwear, boy shorts and shirt, and sighs. She is James once again and he heads upstairs to the shower with a set of clean clothes.

As he relaxes in the shower, he begins running the razor over his body and face, making sure to get any stray hairs that grew out overnight. As he washes the hairs down he takes a look at his toes which he left painted a midnight blue. As long as no one pulled his socks and shoes off later, no one would notice. When he got out of the shower, her dried off and left his now shoulder length hair partially damp as he plugged in a straightener. His hair was getting wavy again and even began to curl at the ends. As soon as he finished straightening his hair, he got dressed and pulled his hair back into a ponytail. He knew he still had some time before Sophia and Riley would return, so he went out to the living room and turned on the Tv to watch a recorded episode of Mythbusters. 

9:21
James decides it's time to get up and begin working on breakfast. He heads out to the kitchen and begins preparing for a large batch of pancakes. His brother and sisters would be back soon and he wanted to have breakfast at least most of the way prepared. When he had the pancake batter ready, he began slicing apples into bite size chunks, bananas into neat little disks. He also cut up some strawberries and pulled the blueberries out of the fridge as well while the griddle heated up. He started pouring plain mix on the griddle just as Sophi, Kylie and Riley pulled into the driveway. 

He walked away from the griddle only long enough to give Sophia a hug and say, [color=FF3030] "Happy Birthday, Sophi. Everyone to the Kitchen so I can talk and cook!" [/color] He immediately went back to the griddle and flipped the first batch of twelve pancakes over. He saw Kylie, but didn't exactly want to make her uncomfortable by singling her out. As soon as he was satisfied that they were cooked properly, he scooped them off of the griddle and onto a spare plate. As soon as the griddle was clear he poured the next batch onto the griddle and began spreading the diced apples into the batter. He then heard someone at the front door. [color=FF3030]"Riley, could you get the door. I'm kinda busy."[/color]
