It wasn't the commotion just outside her dorm that stirred the young woman from her slumber, but the fact that nature was indeed calling. Groaning softly as her body forced her out of practiced habit to wake up and go to the bathroom, she made her way down the hall, seeming to ignore the chair in her dazed state. Upon entering, she did her business and washed her hands, rubbing at her eyes afterwards. [color=f49ac2][b]"Mmm...What time is it?"[/b][/color] Nobody would respond to her, and she didn't seem to be able to spot a clock in this room. Stepping out into the hallway once more she moved into the kitchen, pulling a chilled bottle of water from the fridge, finding her throat had dried during her sleep cycle. On her way back to the room, her eyes spotted the teddy bear on the floor, and gasped. [color=f49ac2][b]"Oh no! How did you get all the way out here?"[/b][/color] Kneeling down, she grabbed the plush animal and headed back to her room. [color=f49ac2][b]"What were you doing? Trying to go on adventure?"[/b][/color] Sara giggled. [color=f49ac2][b]"The couch can be a fun place, but who knows what danger goes there."[/b][/color] She teased, blinking in surprise at the chair near her door. [color=f49ac2][b]"Did I move that? I don't think I did..."[/b][/color] Rolling with it though, she continued to pick at her bear. [color=f49ac2][b]"You're pretty strong to move this chair across the room."[/b][/color] Easily pushing the chair back to it's original position. Setting the water bottle on a coaster on the bedside table, she got re-adjusted under the blankets and fell back asleep, turning her back to the door with the intent of holding the teddy bear captive in her arms until morning. ---------- The Next Morning ---------- [i] Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Be-[/i] Click. [color=f49ac2][b]"Too early,"[/b][/color] Sara yawned, as her fingers found the snooze button as she rolled over. Resuming her sleep for another ten minutes, her alarm blaring again, doing its best to reason her to wake. Her hand searched out once she was disturbed again, and switched it to the OFF position, slowly sitting up and yawning. Taking a few minutes to gather herself, she looked at the time and slowly took a few drinks of her water bottle. The clock read 9:45AM - she had about an hour to get back to school for her morning class. Standing up, she stretched out and headed into the bathroom, leaving the bear in a moment of silence before the sound of water rushing filled the hallway. What she thought was ten minutes - that was actually twenty, the water was turned off and she emerged, pulling a towel from the closet to dry herself off, and wrap a second, smaller towel around her hair. Opening the door, the steam escaped the bathroom. Heading back into the room, she opened her closet, pulling out a navy skirt and the tan pullover sweater-material vest from it as well, removing the towel and dressing herself for the day. Deciding to pull on the white thermal tights she had bought, and a pair of knee-high boots. Fluffing her hair out and making sure it was dry she grabbed a nearby brush and blowdryer, pulling it through her hair until it was dry and a little frizzy, which she easily fixed with a small bit of product. Turning her attention back towards the ribbons, she stood in front of them for quite some time, deciding on the color for today. [color=f49ac2][b]"We wore blue yesterday...What about..orange today?"[/b][/color] She asked, looking back over to the teddy bear, as if he would nod happily in response to being dressed up. Puling the matching ribbons from their hook, she kneeled down, her fingers gently tying the ribbon into a cute bow around its neck, slipping her finger in between the ribbon and the bear's neck to gauge that it wasn't on too tight. Once satisfied, she tied her own tie on her neck. Once she had grabbed her bag, she scooped up the teddy bear into her arms and took a portable toothbrush and toothpaste with her to brush her teeth after she ate breakfast. Heading out of the dorm, she heard it close behind her and made her way back out of the building the way she had come before. Heading to a coffee shop, she approached the counter. She wasn't actually here for coffee. Not a real fan of the bitterness of it, to be honest. Ordering a melted turkey sandwich with a cup of milk, she gave her name, and picked a seat by the window where she would still be able to see the door, and placed the bear in the seat opposite of her. It didn't take long for her order to be ready, and hearing her name, passed a look to the bear across from her. [color=f49ac2][b]"One moment. I'll be right back."[/b][/color] She had no qualms about leaving it unattended, since the shop itself was rather small and cozy. If someone tried to take the bear, someone would see. Returning back with her breakfast, she began eating, her eyes drifting outside. Some might wonder if Sara had any actual friends made out of flesh and blood rather than the stuffed companion that she fancied so much as she poured the bear a much smaller amount of milk in a tiny container, and cut a small piece of the sandwich to put on a napkin for them, humming a soft song as she watched some birds outside hopping about and eating small crumbs that nobody could see.
