Mithril-rama yawned lazily and gazed up at the window. A small Venomoth,
perhaps just newly evolved, crawled up and down the glass surface. She raised a
hand and tapped lightly on the window. Startled, the insect fluttered away out
of view.
"What? Izztill early," Robert mumbled next to her, then rolled over and covered
his face from the sun.
"Eh..." Rilli traced her finger over the window panes. They need to do a better
job of dusting, she decided. "Nothing, just a bug."
Robert bolted up straight in the bed. "Bug? Where!?" He scanned the
surroundings paranoidly, expecting an insect to land on him any moment.
"Nah, it's gone now," Rilli sighed and diverted her gaze to the ceiling. "What
time is it anyway?"
Robert squinted at the clock on the wall. "9:42, still early."
Rilli absorbed that information and was about to go back to sleep when
realization dawned. "9:42!? Our tickets are for the 10:00 flight!"

Ten minutes and two hurried preparations later, the couple was sitting sleepily
in the waiting room of the Pidgeot Express gate. Robert was munching on a bagel
while Rilli quietly digested the banana she had swallowed in a hurry. "It
figures... we wake up late and the flight is delayed. I could have slept in for
another 12 minutes..."
By the time their Pidgeots arrived, both of the travelers were ready to fall
asleep again. They managed to climb aboard the large birds with little
difficulty, and with a high-pitched call, the Pidgeots took off. The crisp wind
in her face actually made Rilli more alert, and she settled back for the long
flight towards Viridian City. Idly, she wondered what Rosetta will be like...
