Wednesday, November 25th
Theo was making breakfast when he heard Aurora entering the kitchen.
"Good morning, Cupcake!" Theo smiled at her as he turned his head.
"Good morning, Big Brother!" Aurora replied with a sweet smile.
"Woke up early today?" He asked as he looked at the clock.
It was still 7 am, and she usually arrived in the kitchen at 7:20 am.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep after waking up too early." She replied with an annoyed face.
"That sucks." Theo responded as he continued cooking.
"Do you need help with anything?" Aurora asked with a hopeful voice.
What she didn't say out loud was that she missed spending time with her brother after she started studying for the final exams.
And when she woke up earlier than usual today, she didn't even try to go back to sleep.
She went to get ready and go see him in the kitchen where she knew he was.
"Sure! You can cut these vegetables the way that I taught you." Theo replied with a doting smile.
He loved teaching new things to Aurora, so obviously he taught her some cooking techniques.
"Yay!" Aurora exclaimed happily as she started doing what her brother asked.
"Big brother? I think I will start exercising with you in the mornings." Aurora exposed the idea that she was thinking about lately.
She wanted to spend more time with her brother without disturbing her study time, so she figured that could wake up earlier in the morning to work out with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo was taken by surprise when he heard that, after all, she had so many things to do during the day.
"Are you sure? I wake up at 5 am and during this time you can sleep for at least 2 more hours." Theo reasoned as he place some sushis in Aurora's bento box.
"I'm sure, brother! We won't have Fight Club activities in the following month, so I should train with you to not lose the practice." Aurora replied with the excuse that she had thought about.
Even though it was an excuse, it was indeed the truth.
Because there were seniors in the club preparing for the National College Entrance Exam by the end of the year and because of the end of the year exams, all the clubs of the school had their activities suspended.
And obviously, that also applied to the Fight Club.
But Megan warned all the members that there would be a fight examination by the end of the exams, and anyone who performed poorly would take a beating from her.
It is not needed to say that everyone was terrified of being beaten by the cold lady.
Even with the college entrance exam that she would do, Megan would not relax the examination of these Fight Club members.
After all, it would be her last act as the president!
She wanted to leave the club in a good shape for the next president just like she received from her senior years ago.
"Well, if you are so certain about it. I will be glad to work out with you in the mornings, Cupcake!" Theo replied with a smile.
"Yay!" Aurora exclaimed excitedly.
"How're the studies?" Theo asked as he mixed up the sauce.
"Oh, so tiring! I did some past exams of past years and they are so hard!" Aurora complained.
Although Aurora said that, she was a genius girl and it was not difficult for her to pass the exam.
But the thing was that she didn't want to only pass the exam, she wanted to get first place in the grade!
And that was a much hard task, after all, Yukihime High School was the best high school in the Bluecorn State and all sorts of genius students were gathered there.
Aurora had a tough competition to overcome if she wanted to get first place.
Some questions of the exam were designed to be impossible to solve, and the first place would go to the student that solved more of these questions,
But she was not upset about the difficulty because she wanted to make her brother proud with her effort.
"I imagine. Well, I believe in you!" Theo exclaimed with a loving smile.
He knew that with her intelligence it wouldn't be difficult to pass these exams.
So he figured that she wanted to take a better place in the rankings.
Honestly, he didn't care what place she get, he would be happy as long as she passed the exams.
He knew that she was a talented girl that would make success wherever she decided to work.
"Hmm, I might know something that might encourage you to study harder." Theo teased with a playful face.
Aurora's ears perked up when she heard that.
"Really? Tell me!" Aurora could not help her curiosity from controlling her.
Theo chuckled when he saw that.
It was so fun teasing his little sister!
"The restaurant will be closed for vacation in the first half of January. I was thinking about taking you on a trip. But if you don't pass these exams I guess I will have to cancel the trip..." Theo teased as he faked a sorrowful face.
"What?!" Aurora exclaimed as she messed up all the vegetables that she was cutting.
She was indeed taken by surprise, after all, she had never gone on a trip.
So, her heartbeat started beating in excitement as she heard what her brother said.
"Really? Where are we going??" Aurora asked with an avid face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Of course!" Theo laughed.
"Hmm, I haven't decided yet. But we can decide together." Theo added with a brilliant smile.
He has always seen on TV how families traveled together, and he wanted to take his family on a trip in his new life.
"That sounds so fun!" Aurora exclaimed excitedly.
She couldn't wait for the time to leave for the trip to arrive.
The siblings then started discussing destinations for them to travel to.
"January will be cold because of the winter. Do you want to go somewhere cold or warm?" Theo asked as he made omelet rolls for Aurora's lunch.
"Hmm, we can enjoy the cold weather when we return to Elffire City from the trip. So, I would say we should go somewhere warm." Aurora reasoned with shining eyes.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Theo chuckled.
"There won't be any place in the Sakura Abode in January that will be warm enough for us to enjoy the weather. It seems that we have to leave the country." Theo pondered as he placed the omelet rolls on the bento box.
"I don't have a passport, big brother." Aurora said hesitantly.
"Me neither, but we can make one in the next month. We just need to go to the Federal Police in our city." Theo replied with a calm voice.
"That's a relief then." Aurora smiled relieved.
"Hmm, but we still need to go somewhere we don't need a Visa because we won't have the time to request a Visa." Theo reasoned after thinking for a while.
"So, it has to be a warm country and with no requests for a Visa when entering it." Aurora counted.
"There are several places that fit this description." Aurora added as she placed the plates on the table.
"I think so too." Theo agreed as he closed Aurora's bento box.
The siblings then proceeded to have breakfast as they talked about possible destinations.
Their eyes shone in excitement as they thought about this trip.
It would be a new experience for the both of them to go out of the country.
They were too excited about this adventure.
But where on the Azure Star would they go?
