 "sunny..! suuunnyy. wake up..."
"wake up! Polly should be making breakfast soon!"

basil shook sunny who was asleep on the couch

sunny groaned
"five... more- minutes...."
he yawned just covering him-self up in more of the blanket he was using

basil sighed

sunny had visited faraway for spring break, but he's been asleep all day.
basil can't blame him though

and Polly was at the store, they were out of eggs
yes polly did always take long at othermart.. but shouldn't she be back now?

basil was bourd...

he started to tend to his many flowers and few cactuses around the house, and one of his more resent bonsi tree's
he liked trimming the leaves, but was not much for using his shears...

he was glad, everything was going smoothly today!

way to jinx it I guess.

while waiting for Polly he had some tea, doing his best to not spoil his breakfast for when she gets back

he still couldn't forget how he stabbed Sunny's eye that night..
sometimes he feels like sunny shouldn't have interfeared..
basil should have di-

he was broke out of his thoughts when
his portable radio that was playing music, news, weather reports started blasting a loud alarm

"warning"
this is not a drill"
"I repeat, this is not a drill"

"there has been a resent out break of dangerous amounts of bactera build up aross city's and towns"

"the main cause is trash, pollution, mold, and more"
"this has caused a new virus to spread"

"anyone who had been in othermart is currently detained, and safe"

"do, not leave the house, do not let pepole inside, and keep all windows closed"

"untill we can cure or postpone the virus, we're under lockdown"
"once a month (assuming its not fixed by then) we will deliver supply's"
"sutch as food, water, hygienic nesecitys and clean suplys"

"more news tonight at 8pm est"

basil turned of the radio with a soft click

he felt his breathing get heavy, in a slight panic he hurryed into the bathroom...
he splashed his face with cold water
unconsciously digging his nails in palms

he prayed this was all a nightmare

sunny opened the bathroom door
"basil?" his voice was still groggy

"wha- why d- don't you knock...."
basils breath was shaking as he stutterd

"what happened?"
sunny ignored basils valid question

"so.."
"there's a virus spreading around and the whole town (and breaching out farther) is in lock down..."

"they said that one a month they will deliver supply's.."

"b- but Polly..."
"she cant come back....she is being put somewhere because she was-"

basil didn't know how to word it, and was doing his best not to cry

"she was in a buisy place, so she may be sick?"
"there contaning her.."

basil sniffed

"oh..."
sunny said quietly

he slightly hugged basil

even though basil never opened up to Polly he felt like his mother, more than his real one..
he just din't want to burden her with his problems

and she had felt like family, even after grandma past she still stayed as his caretaker (with his parents permition of course, of Witch they agreed)

"how about we eat something ok basil..?"

basil sniffled
"ok...."

they left the dark bathroom and went into the kitchen

lifes no fun...
