"Rise and shine gorgeous" Mom pulls back my curtains letting the early morning sun shine through "Come on lazy bones get up and get ready" She then pulls the blankets back exposing me to the cool air

"Rise and shine gorgeous" Mom pulls back my curtains letting the early morning sun shine through "Come on lazy bones get up and get ready" She then pulls the blankets back exposing me to the cool air

"What? - huh?" I rub my eyes and stretch a bit before I figure out what's going on

"Come on, we're going to aerobics" Mom pats just above my knee twice and goes down the hall for a couple of seconds

"But you said when I'm ready, and I'm not ready" I call out to her

"Well luckily" Mom comes back in holding some things "You are" She begins to start placing stuff in the bed: dark blue leggings, a white two piece and some purple leg warmers.

I sit up in my bed and look down at the clothing and then back to her "No"

"Yeah come on, it'll be so fun just the two of us it can be like the good ol' days where we did Mommy and Me" She sits down next to me on my bed

"You never did Mommy and Me with me, you did it with Nancy" I whisper the last part to her sarcastically as I lay back down and go to pull the blankets back on

"No no no, let's go go go" She quickly pulls the blankets off and grabs my arms to pull me up "Come on sweetheart, the way I have been treating you was unfair and I want to make this better but I need your commitment too" She tells me as she holds my shoulders. I wait a moment.

"Fine" I get up and she cheers exitedly

"This is going to be so much fun" Mom states as she gets out of my room and goes down to her room to get ready
I pick up the bottom piece of the outfit and look around to the butt, only to discover that it's a thin piece of material that goes up there like a wedgy.

"Oh my god"

3rd P.O.V:

"You see anything?" Dustin asks Steve as they hide behind a plant down at the food court, Steve holding up a pair of binoculars

"Uh, I guess I don't totally know what I'm looking for" Steve tells his partner in crime as he look looks at the individuals

"Evil Russians"

"Yeah, exactly - I don't know what an evil Russian looks like"

"Tall, blond, not smiling" Dustin try's to give Steve a description like it was the most obvious thing around

"Mm-hmm?"

"Also, look for earpieces, camo, duffel bags, that sort of thing"

"Right, okay, duffel bags" Steve searchers for a couple more moments before landing his eyes on a brunette girl who's running her hand through a boys hair on a level above the food court "Oh, you've gotta be kidding me"

"What?"

"Anna Jacobi's talking with that meathead Mark Lewinsky"

"If you're not gonna focus, just gimme the binoculars"
