Smiling back, Aaron's mother responded, her voice cheerful.<br/><br/>"Hello Maya! He's probably getting up now, come in! He'll be a couple minutes to get ready. Why are you here so early? Is it for that project you and Aaron are working on? He was putting the finishing touches on his part last night. Would you like anything to drink? We have hot chocolate."<br/><br/>Upstairs, Aaron sat up in bed, yawning and stretching sluggishly as the alarm continued to ring. He reached over to his bed-side stand and turned it off, flipping the covers off of himself. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, walking groggily over to his dresser and opening a drawer. He closed it again, realizing he'd opened to wrong one, and opened another drawer, getting out his clothes for the day. He tossed them onto his bed before walking into the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and put on deodorant, then went back and put on his school clothes. His uniform was the same colors as Maya's, with the same blue dress pants, a white collared shirt, and an orange tie.<br/><br/>He walked downstairs to see his mom and Maya in the kitchen, talking about the project. He was mildly surprised, as seeing anybody here so early was a rare occurrence. He gave a small wave to them both.<br/><br/>"Mornin' Mom, mornin' Maya. What's up?"<br/><br/>He walked over to the counter where his breakfast was waiting, a plate with toast and two eggs, as well as a mug of hot chocolate. He took them and sat down at the table, biting into a piece of toast.<br/><br/>"Guessing it's about the project? I finished it up last night on the computer. Our powerpoint presentation is ready to go. The name of that last scientist was kind of hard to find though. The definitions they give you for people aren't exactly the best."
