I jolted awake to the sound of pounding on my door. Sitting up, my eyes adjusted to the light, & took in the steam in my left eye, with over-particularising alerts flashing in my neyetifications. I still hadn't figured out how to shape the steam so that it won't go berserk over a bit of fog in my eye when I woke up in the morn. I could, of course, simply take out my Condensed Liquiform Analytical Engine Lenses, but I always forget to do so before bed. I sighed, & rubbed my hand against my eye, clearing it out a bit.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNst3xGeyf
I heard an annoying voice on the other side of the door.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95YA2cTkg8
" Ollieeeeee! Wake up, my dear Mademoiselle Olliephant!"copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuTmcqeZDD
What was it today? Why did he insist on waking me up from my slumber? He is always waking me up at the crack of dawn, the old cove.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkr5OuDuIc
" Ollie... I know you are awake!" followed by more pounding on the poor door.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡKShIskVmFc
" OooollieollieollieollieAraElephantOllie!", followed by even more abuse on the poor door.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnHoJTPXTs
I wondered why it took the abuse. Why did it not just lash out upon the bloke & destroy him. It would surely help me, in the least.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwN2CBxf6g
" I am coming in on the count of three, Ollie!" he threatens.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ8JzB3vXI
As if that would make me do aught at all.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt5pSPjHMc
" One!" he counted.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡanIXqlzXAF
I just snuggled into my blankets.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1wlK6WOCU
" Two!" he announced.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡwknCKfr3Xe
Why was he counting so slowly? He was going to finish counting when we were old, & by the time, I should have grown a beard! Which was nigh impossible, considering the facts. It would be truly frightful if it were possible, I should have thought.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7BZ52kEZU
" Ollieeeeee, you promised to come out today... You said you would come to the park with me before that bumbling snob of your betrothed came for a fortnight." he pleaded.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcWPyHWvvy
" Hermes is not a bumbling snob, you curmudgeon!!" I yelled in defence.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2SNFD36H0
" A-ha! So you are awake!" he yelled as he waltzed in to my chambre.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX7WXdYhRY
I buried myself beneath the covers, like any proper gentle-lady should do. I felt the weight of the bed shift as someone else climbed on.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaa90IRWem
Maybe I should have taken my chances & dashed somewhere else instead of hiding beneath the covers...copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDpor41ubI
" Ollieeee, come out, Elephantieee.." he said, terrorizing me, shaking me to the core.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvGCsDPrVH
I stopped breathing, because that way he would definitely not see me. No chance. At all. For a moment, it was all still. I did not feel him move, or make any noise at all.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8RAiSj9Px
Then, he ripped the blanket off of me, & I let out a high-pitched shriek with my eyes scrunched closed. copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkaVICZK6b
He cackled, picked me up, & started jumping on the bed. I yelled at him, telling him to put me down, while getting completely shaken by the jumping. He disregarded my shouting & continued jumping, while I started to get air-sick. Except I was not on an air-ship, I was just being...copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBH8d9M3BI
" Rattled around while my dim-witted oaf picks me up & jumps on my bed!!" I yelled at him, trying to kick him with my feet, which he quickly grabbed & immobilised.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0QCB8vUik
" Put me down, you dolt!"copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOFCJoeJ8l
" No."copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBWBKaLwen
" Why not?!"copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYn5BZe6Tw
" You said you would come to the park with me."copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlk6Y4vcOD
" I know! I never said I wasn't!"copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJfulZE6vS
" You refused to wake up." he said plainly, as if that explained everything.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKRRQtQ4zK
" Just put me down before I involuntarily discharge the contents of my Internal Edible Material Processor by the probably no longer Edible Material ascending through the Musculo-membranous Passage that leads from the Internal Edible Material Processor to the Alimentary Canal, past my Outer Facial Labium & from there, expelling onto the outer covering of your Physical Being." I gasped for air after having said this rapidly; that is to say, all in one breath.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡB15V830DgO
" In other words, put me down before I hurl, Pippin. Please." I asked nicely.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOxwjSvXZ1
" Nope." He grinned.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtMIkCbbHL
Well. Too bad for him. I lifted my head & let out a high-pitched scream. I heard a crash in the not so far distance as Pippin fell backwards, & I landed on the area of his Internal Edible Material Processor, making him gag. I heard running steps coming from my sister's room's direction. I stayed seated on my new chair & waited, Pippin's eyes widening at an astonishing rate. copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiN1eV5fym
My sister, Elle, explodes through the door holding what seems to be a device used for bashing someone. She looks around the room worriedly, & realising there is nobody, fixes her eyes upon my seat & I angrily, marching over in wrath while I struggle not to have a bodily attack in which one loses control of their Physical Being, convulses, & involuntarily releases spontaneous bursts of air & vocal noises in amusement. (Otherwise termed, laughter.)copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QaBmtuSrt
" Gadaranine Olesya Eberneus!" she said angrily.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiWG0hict0
Oh dear. Maybe if I smiled exceedingly widely with my mouth shut and my eyes pretty wide it would be better?copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpjLrxGxMf
" Do not laugh at me! I am quite serious, Gadaranine!"copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ54rsyVk0
I guess not. It was worth a try, though.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeimUjEdw7
" You wake me from my slumber, shrieking like a heathen, when it is only Master Peregrine and yourself up to your usual capers. I have been meaning to discuss this matter for some time now. You should know better by now. You are almost a grown lady & yet you frolic & caper about like a mere child! Sitting upon a young man of my age! The shame! It is unheard of & completely unheard of!" she paused, shaking her stately & womanly head in disappointment.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡduxxfZ4WwR
Discuss. Ha! More like give a speech upon the matter!copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpIhtaJ254
" ...& you, Peregrine!" she lifted her head & she focused her gaze upon my chair, relieving me of the tirade for now.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vjkRdEwqa
" You, Peregrine, which are as old as I, should be as mature as I am, & yet you encourage her disgrace-making of your family, & the further degradation of ours by joining in, & even, you dare to initiate such spectacles! You blatantly disregard all boundaries that should be in place due to our different standing in gender & position. You should be gravely ashamed to be skylark making about with a young lady which is engaged, & in her own room, nonetheless!"copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEEbbUagQG
At this, I realised what she was so furious over, & flushed madly as my face morphed into a completely mortified expression.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡ816QjA03C6
I stammered & fumbled as I scrambled off of my former chair, almost fall making flat on my face when getting off the bed, mean-time, miserably try making to explain that it was nothing of the sort, I had never considered it, that was one of the most daft - ridiculous, preposterous, in fact - assumptions I had ever in-taken through my Sound Reception devices.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ECqZuED05
My sister huffs & leaves the room, shoot making a disapprove-showing glance in Pippin's direction, but saying no more.copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEKsPVm0cc
Hey, guys!! *sits across the table from you and wiggles eyebrows* I know it's kind of soon, (haha it's never too soon, aye?) but what do you think about Pippin and Ara? That nickname, tho... Mademoiselle Olliephant? Yah, nah, or blah? (That's kinda catchy, isn't it? Say it aloud and you'll see what I mean...)copyright protection271ＰＥＮＡＮＡGleNcxndAZ
