It was 5am and her roommate was rudely awakened to the blaring of Fall Out Boy coming from the kitchen. What did she find when she walked into the living room. A full view of Sky dancing in the kitchen while she made pancakes. "Sky it`s 5am!" This certainly was not the time of day for loud music and dancing. It didn`t help that Sky was dressed like how you see sorority girls in the movies, she looked like an idiot.

Sky turned around and looked at her roommate a spoon dangling out of her mouth. It took two seconds for the girl to start smiling wildly as she continued dancing, very badly may be added. She made her way over to her very pissed roommate with an all but playful look. Using her right hand she took the general store spoon out of her mouth. "You know you want to dance too." She said simply, "besides I don`t have class today and I slept zero last night."

Spinning on one foot the redhead made her way over to her well baked pancakes and slipped them onto a plate, resting them right beside the bacon she`d made. It was then that her roommate realized there was two plates and went over to the speaker on the counter, turning it down to a very background noise level. "I was trying to get an extra hour of sleep before I had to get up for class, looks like I won`t be getting that."

"But ya get pancakes!" Sky said as she walked over to the bar seats on the other side of the kitchen counter and set both plates down. She took her seat and drowned her pancakes in syrup before digging in, drinking her black coffee every so often. 

"You know, you kind of act like a five year old most of the time." Her roommate said as she reluctantly took her seat.

"What`s the fun in acting all serious though? When you take everything too serious it`s when the world starts to become boring and that my dear beloved Joanne is how some people kill themselves." Sky responded before taking another bite of her sugar coated pancakes.

"I guess," Joanne replied as she ate her pancakes. She glanced over at Sky`s plate to see an almost empty plate. "You truly amaze me sometimes, how do you eat so much so fast? Do you just swallow it?"

"I could make a joke there but for your sake I won`t." Sky said and slide off her chair carrying her plate to the sink, where she quickly did the dishes before heading to her room, leaving the door ajar. "To answer your question, I work out and make sure my body is in good shape." She said as she changed into athletic clothes before coming out of her room. "Besides, my insomniac ass can`t sleep. My body is kind of using any energy it can."

Sky walked to the door, "enjoy your breakfast and have a good time in class." With that she put her headphones in and turned her music on before leaving the apartment on her morning run.

As of late she couldn`t sleep, she didn`t really know what it was. Whenever she did sleep all she had were nightmares. The most recent one was the other day. She was being chased by some dark creature, overwhelming fear overtaking her entire body. All she could do was run and run and run through a dark hallway, or was it a tunnel? A cave maybe? It had been damp and dark, so maybe it was a cave. The one thing that was strange about the whole thing, besides the monster trying to kill her that is, was that she was in armor. It was almost like she was in the dreams she had as a teenager. The armor was certainly as heavy and the sword on her back was heavy as usual. It was all too familiar. The place of her dreams hadn`t come to her in a long time and now it`d just came as nightmares that haunted her daily. 

Joanne had asked about it but Sky always claimed it was simple insomnia. Anyone could develop it. That wasn`t the case though. She literally was avoiding sleep, using caffeine and water to keep her awake every day. To say it was unhealthy was an understatement, but she felt mentally ill. These dreams scared the hell out of her and she didn`t know how to stop them. They were so vivid that she felt like they were real. Sky hadn`t told these dreams to anyone however, and she wasn`t going to start. Back then she hadn`t told a soul and now wasn`t any different. Joanne would claim she`d lost it anyway.

Two hours slipped by pretty quickly with this run and it wasn`t too long before Sky was home, showered, and watching the newest episode of Guilt on the living room's television. By this time Joanne was off to class and she was alone by herself until 3pm when she`d have to head to the bar to start prepping tonight`s service. If she was being honest she loved her job. She was able to be her bubbly sarcastic self all the time and half the people she talked too were too drunk to even question her anyway. It was kind of weird that she happened to work with her friend Ilia from high school. It wasn`t like they`d ever been on bad terms but it was kind of like fate pushed them together again when they both got jobs at the same bar. It was actually kind of refreshing for once.
