The comfort of her bed was rudely interrupted by her alarm clock on her bedside table. It was set slightly later than it should have been to let Michi know that she couldn't stay in bed any longer. She gave it a quick smack and hopped up from bed. Moving straight to her dresser she took out some denim shorts, a blue V-neck shirt, and a change of underwear. She left her room, in only her boy shorts and a bra, with her change of clothes and headed for the bathroom. She spotted Oliver waiting patiently as always for her to get ready. "Ohayo (Good Morning) Oliver-Kun, I won't be long. I Promise!" 

She picked up her pace a bit as she didn't want to keep him waiting, although it seemed as if this had become the norm for them. Michi quickly tossed her old underwear in the laundry basket and showered up as quickly as she could. It was a shame that she never had time for a hot bath after cleaning up in the morning but it would have to do. They would be heading to the Academy shortly for another day of what she assumed would be more boring classes, Oliver might enjoy studying but Michi wanted to get out there and make a difference. The urge to bust out and serve up justice had been eating at her for a while. She knew they were ready and all the teachers always said [i]"When it's you're time we'll let you know."[/i], which she knew was their way of getting her off their back about it. 

Once she got dressed again Michi noticed a note by the laundry attached to a small bottle of perfume. It read, [i]Michi, I bought this just for you! Boys like it when you smell nice![/i] It was signed, [i]Kissu!!![/i] which meant it was from her mother. She snatched the note and tossed it in the trash while trying to hide the perfume bottle in her tiny pocket. "Why are girl's pockets so small?" she said to herself before leaving the bathroom and heading back to her room to grab her bag, some knee-high socks, and the grey warm up jacket that she wore most days. She couldn't help but notice that Oliver had still been waiting on her the entire time.
