[h3][color=black]"Ohhhh, my head..."[/color][/h3][/Center]

[hr]

Things were perfectly dark up until a few minutes ago.

Brightness disturbing her slumber, Sidney stirred and began to slowly wake up. She had a headache, she felt really groggy: What had happened last night? As she tried to sit up, she was startled by the sounds of plastic hitting the floor; and the slight slush of liquid that, when she looked down, she realized were coming from sealed cups with a familiar little logo... They were from the Arcade! There were multiple cups surrounding her, and it took her a moment to realize she was on the floor, in a corner kind of slumped weird. 

[color=black]"Wh--Whaa. . . ?"[/color] Sidney couldn't even form words at the moment; She planted a white-globed hand against the wall and slowly pushed herself up, wobbling a bit and nearly falling forward. The young girl's mouth was wide open as a loud yawn escaped her, followed by a light scratching of her arm. Slowly her eyes stopped being so glossy, and her sight through her blotchy black eyes became clearer: Oh, man. No wonder those cups were here... She was [i][b]in[/b][/i] the Arcade!

[b]"You finally wake up?"[/b] An elderly voice questioned, sparking her attention. Sidney turned her head, seeing a person she saw on the regular: The Arcade Janitor. Everyone just called him 'Sweeps'. He was scruffy, he wore that silly blue jumpsuit, but he was nice. Sidney usually got yelled at for things like this; He gave her the break she needed. 

[color=black]"Looks like it, Mister Sweeps!"[/color] Sidney announced, her own loud voice causing her head to pound. She placed a hand on her forehead, groaning from her headache. As she lowered her hand, she noticed Sweeps was holding something out; A plastic cup full of water.

[b]"Flush your system with something not so sugary."[/b] He advised.

Without hesitation, Sidney took the cup the gulped the whole thing down; A gasp for air and of relief passing over her afterwards. She approached the counter and set the cup there, managing to wake up somewhat. It was crazy; They just left her in here, huh? Did those guys even care? Most of the workers here didn't even look to see if there was a girl passed out from soda intake and gaming over in the corner? 

She couldn't be mad; At least she wasn't at home.

[color=black]"Thanks, Mister. Can't believe those jerks left me laying in here!"[/color] She said, face scrunching up. 

Sweeps began to clean up the mess in the corner, seemingly not holding anything against the girl for making the mess. [b]"I've heard you tend to swing while you sleep; They probably were just trying to avoid the trouble."[/b]

Sidney glanced away, unsure if that was true. She had vivid dreams; So maybe it was. Though if she scared people like that, at least they'd leave her alone during a nap! Shining a positive light on his words, she decided to change the subject quickly; Marching towards the Fight Fighters 3: Turbo Deluxe Edition machine. [color=black]"So, now that my nap's over, I can go back to playing!"[/color]

[b]"Not quite, missy."[/b] Sweeps said in an almost parental tone, shutting her down. [b]"Ain't even open for a little while, can't turn on the machines with just me here: Go outside and get some air."[/b]

Sidney sighed, her black blob eyes rolling in a lack of amusement. [color=black]"Fiiinnneee, I wanted to go eat anyhow! And go play in the woods!"[/color] She pretended to complain, beginning her march out of the Arcade. 

[b]"Be careful near those woods, Sid."[/b] Sweeps warned, brim of his hat covering his old, tired eyes. [b]"One day you may find something you'll regret."[/b]

Sidney waved a hand back, ignoring most of what he had said. [color=black]"Yeah, yeah!"[/color] She responded, making her way out of the Arcade. The difference in the warmth of summer outside and the chill of the Arcade was apparent; But the warmth comforted Sidney. The first goal was obvious; Greasy’s Diner! Breakfast! A glass of milk, and a mug of coffee! Everything to make a little girl's morning start off perfect!

She began walking off towards the Diner [sub][url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f3/de/14/f3de14d45e2a95813dc80d90dfad9bea.gif]Like This[/url][/sub] in hopes of starting her morning with a successful breakfast; And then follow it up with an even more successful day!
