Bzzzzzzzzt! Bzzzzzzzzzzt! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt!

Boy did Alexandria hate the sound of alarm clocks, especially at six in the morning. She was anything but an early bird. She aimed for the snooze button, and ended up knocking it off her bedside cabinet. Of course when it hit the floor it didnt simply stop buzzing, it kept on going at that annoying high-pitched sound that made Alexs ears bleed. Damn it. Now she had to physically get up. She crawled over to the edge of her bed, groping blindly in the dark for her alarm clock, her only guide its incessant buzzing.

Alex wasnt sure why she had set her alarm clock so early. It wasnt school, not any holiday, it definitely wasnt her birthday. Oh yeah, that journey thing. She thought, not looking overly thrilled about it. It wasnt that she hated the idea of getting away from her nagging sister and half-insane mother, it was the thought of having to actually work for a living. She was in no hurry, then again, she was never in a hurry.

She pressed the alarms button, stopping the last buzz tragically short. Alexandria crawled back under her warm comforter and just began to drift asleep again when her sister, Megan, barged in. Alex, time to get up already! Megan shouted, she was way too hyper this early in the morning. Its time to go, get excited, youre leaving!

To be honest, Alexandria didnt seem quite as excited as Megan about her leaving. Yeah, yeah. She grumped, rising from the bed and going over to her closet, Get out, though, no way Im going to get dressed with you in here. She shoved her sister out, and quickly donned some loose fitting jeans, and a baggy t-shirt.

Downstairs, the Fox household was as quiet as ever, despite the fact that everyone was up. The only sound was her mother watching the television, and her sister, arranging Alexandrias trusty satchel and stuffing it with everything she could fit in it. Morning Mom. Alex yawned, as usual, she got no response. Her mother didnt speak much, not since Alexandria was about six. Her father left, on a Pokemon journey of sorts, but later on they all got wind that he had settled down in a far off town. And her mother had pretty much only spoke either nonsense, or asking for food or something. The psychiatrists wouldnt take her into a mental hospital, and insisted it was better to be with her family.

All right, Alex. Megan shoved the satchel at Alexandria, Its almost time to go, remember, we love you! She flashed a smile and handed her a loaf of bread, There, breakfast for you and your Pokemon, when you get it.

Er, thanks. Alexandria said, taking the satchel and slinging it over her shoulder, and stuffing the bread in it. Well she stopped herself, and looked around her home. Bye guys, Ill call you later. Alex managed a lopsided smile. Megan nodded, and gave her sister a peck on the cheek before going back upstairs, probably going back to bed. Bye Mom, Alex smiled sadly at her mother, who was merely mumbling gibberish at the television. Get well, and take care of Megan, Alex opened the door, and prepared to leave.

ain't no new thing
You stepped out of the house, carrying with you a bag that contained 1500z, an Escape Rope with 3 charges, a PokeTech, and a nice little computer-typed note from your sister.

Dear Alex,

I hope you do well on your journey! Don't worry about me, or mom, for that matter. We will be fine! I hope you do well, and mom does too.

Love,
Megan and Mom

The names were hand written, but in only your sister's handwriting.
