Kasumi awoke slowly. Her head was pounding...no...wait...it was someone pounding on the Door. Kasumi groaned as she sat up. she looked at the clock...it claimed to be 8:55am.

The pounding increased.

Sliding the door open, She saw her Father franticly pound on the air where the door was. "Yes Father?" she inquired.

"Ah Kasumi, thank Kami you are okay. Hurry, before your sister starts cooking, the kitchen!!" the Fear in his Eyes drove the tear away before they even formed.

"Sister? Nabiki does not like to cook." Kasumi frowned. The Fog in her mind was swirling, around and around...

"Nabiki? No no, I mean Akane is planing on cooking this Morning!!" Soun was so paniced he failed to notice the look of confussion on his little girl's face...

Closing her Robe about her, she allowed her Father to herd her down the stairs and into the Kitchen...

There stood Akane, putting the Wok on the stove. Looking at the card besided the stove, She read aloud, "2 Tbs of oil, allow to heat, then add eggs, stir, add toppings and serve." A quick grin, "No Problem." she grabbed the Linseed oil...

Kasumi stepped forward, removed the oil from her sister's hand, and handed her the cooking oil, so fast that Akane did not even notice that she was there.

After messuring the oil very carfully She reached for the Eggs only to find them in a bowl and mixed...

it is here that her mind disengaged from her body, something weird was happening here

...She dumped them in the hot oil and scarmbled them up. She then reached for the "toppings" to find them chopped fine and/or shredded. Without even a shrug, she just tossed them into the eggs and stirred them for a count of five before dumpimg them out into a big bowl. Akane then took the big bowl out to dinning room table.

Kasumi turned off the stove, set the dishes used to cook the "food" to soak, grabed the Kettle that was chirpping away over a low flame, poured the hot water into the tea pot with morning blend, refilled the pot, replaced it on the low flame, and grabbed three cupps and nabiki's morning Cola. Armed with the hot tea, the tea cups, and the can of cola, Kasumi trailed into the dinng room.

The Harbor Master looked out his Office window to watch the surf. To his surprize there was a redhead riding a massive board down a massive wave. She was whering a big backpack, and a grin that flashed in the morning sun. Her red shirt clung to her, damp from the spray. Grabbing his spyglasses he took a closer look. Her skill on riding the Wave was Damn good, considering the shape of her board...was that of a sleeping Giant Panda...

The Wave crested and broke on the brow of a massive Tanker, but the girl shifted her weight and the panda/board slid around the tanker to catch its wake...

It looked like she was going to ride the thing all the way in...into a docking pillon. as the panda's head hit the pillon, the Girl jumped to the top of the pillon and hoped to the dock. Looking over the edge, she called down, "Com'on Pop, Stop your napping. Last one to shore buys breakfast!"

After spitting towards the Panda, the Girl turned and ran for the Solid land and the city just beyond the Gates. She had not gone three steps when, from the water reputed a very wet, very large panda. The beast landed on its hind feet, and gave chase to the redheaded girl...

The Dock master used one of his few Union Rights and called a Work stopage for the day. He Really needed a few drinks and He held to a zero tolarance on drinking while working. As he made his way to the gates, he was meet by his work force.

"Hey Boss, what is this about the shift being over?"

He Took a deep breathe, "You know how I feel about drinking on the job." The crew nodded, some grumbled. "Well, I am buying the first round."
