My First Drabble

Challenge: 40, Hidden
Title: Morning Ritual
Word Count: 305


It was a typical Saturday morning for Cloud Strife. He was up at the crack of dawn, his hair tousled from a good night's sleep, and still in his pajamas, consisting of just boxers. He entered the kitchen, his bare feet patted against the white tile to the fridge. Whilst pouring himself an ice cold glass of milk, Leon entered, his appearance identical to Cloud's.

"Ready for our ritual?" the taller man asked.

Cloud nodded furiously. "Of course! There's no Saturday morning if there's no milk and cookies to eat while watching cartoons!"

"Then I guess there's no Saturday." Leon's voice had gone from excited to anger in a matter of seconds. Cloud's jublience immediatly came to a halt and he bounded over to the cabinet where the Oreos had been. In their place was a note. Snatching it from it's spot, Leon opened the note and read aloud.

'Leon and Cloud,
You have one hour to find the cookies before they're gone forever! Starting now, GO!'
~Yuffie'

In an instant the boys took off in different directions of the house, searching high and low in every room. fifty-five minutes later, they found themselves back in the kitchen, both irritated and hungry.

"What now?" Cloud asked. "We've looked everywhere, and with five mintues to spare."

Leon was about to throw in the towel as well before he realized. "Not everywhere." Before giving Cloud a chance to argue, Leon was running up the stairs, the blond tailing him. Without knocking he ran into Aerith's room with a loud "Ah-HA!" He pointed at her and Yuffie, both of the girls lying on the bed, and sure enough there was an empty case of Oreos.

Cloud shoved passed Leon and into the bedroom. "But we had five minutes left!"

Aerith and Yuffie laughed before the ladder spoke. "We got hungry."

Ahahaha, this is so cute! ♥ Poor Cloud and Leon. My sister and I used to have a Saturday morning cartoon ritual, too, minus the cookies. Only suggestion: change "Oreo's" to "Oreos."

Changed the Oreos.

My sister and I used to do it too, only with the cookies. It was a total sweets morning, and we took the phrase 'I'll give you a cookie' quite literally. LOL!

It was all about Digimon for us. Oh, man. I miss the first season of Digimon like whoa.

OMG Yes! Digimon and Pokemon, and back in the day when Power Rangers weren't so redundant and stupid. Like Power Rangers in Space, was the second to last season I could bear watching. But OMG the first season of Digimon was awesome. They're replaying them on ABC Family though! ^_^

I saw that! It brought back memories... But yeah, I remember when Power Rangers started sucking. Wild Force? Time Force? O wai.

It went horribly wrong after Lost Galaxy. Even when they had brought back Billy and Tommy from Mighty Morphin', it didn't do anything for me.
