Time Flies when you Fly Time ||Kai|Maia||

    "Where're you going?"

    "School."

    "Why're you going?"

    Today wasn't much different than any other morning in the household. Maia was trying to multitask, brushing her hair and trying to make sure that everything that was supposed to be in her bag was actually there. Of course, with the prying of a curious fox that knew full well that his tamer had to go to school! "Kuu, I don't have time! Can't you play with Dad? Wait," there was a pause, as she shuffled through her stuff, "where's my notebook?" Eyes shot accusingly to the rookie that instantly looked away. Yup, she knew it.

    Swiping out to grab the Kudamon, he squirmed away, "no! If you has, you leaves!" Why was the Digimon so difficult?

    Just as the girl was about to reach for the monster again, her dad walked in the room with a piece of toast. Instantly, Kuu's focus shifted. But, not for long, as he found himself trapped in Maia's hands. "Notebook. Now." With a loud wail, the alien was released, disappearing briefly, before returning with the notebook in his mouth. At least it didn't appear to have been drooled on. Pulling the item out of his jaws, the girl shoved it into her bag, before hurrying to the door.

    While she waved briefly to her dad, she could see him shoving the toast into Kuu's mouth, who let out an elated squeal, not even noticing his tamer was abandoning him. Apparently, pipefoxes liked toast. Who would have thought?

    Once the door was closed, and Maia was outside, she let out a heavy sigh. Why was just leaving the house such a hassle? Once she lifted her gaze, the blonde found Kai already outside his home, waiting for her. "Oh! Hey, Kai," she smiled, trying to keep herself fully composed from her escape of her house. It was pretty exhausting! And she hadn't even been awake for more than a hour! "You, uh, weren't waiting out here very long, were you?"

    With the question posed back to her, Maia just stared at the apparently tired teen, debating on if she wanted to find a way to answer. Oh, good, it seemed that Kai caught on pretty quickly. With a small, somewhat awkward laugh, the girl shook her head, "it's early. Nobody should be awake." How long had it taken her to get used to changing her sleep schedule entirely, after moving to Japan? She still wasn't as awake as one should be! Then again, should anyone really be awake this early in the morning?

    The tamer didn't even notice the white monster at the window. It was too early to think about looking up! Why would she ever care about what the inside of Kai's house looked like, anyway? It would be awfully weird to look in her neighbor's window without good reason.

    Trying to match Kai's pace, Maia began the walk to school alongside him. "Uh," the blonde thought about how to answer for a moment. How had she been? "Really busy," she admitted, almost sheepishly. "Kuu is hard to balance with schoolwork." Oh, wait, did she finish all of her assignments? There was a clearly distressed expression that crossed her face, as she tried to remember everything. Then, a sigh of relief. Yes, she was... mostly certain that she had. "How about yourself?"
