the Toughs,Pagodians and Enforcers

Mavis wakes up at five in the morning and heads to the bathroom, she then opens the tap and lets it run. She soon then heads to Brock’s room and shakes him “ Brock Brock” she says “ Brock it’s time for school” she says as Brock turns over to face her and yawns before he says “ okay” and he gets up. She then leaves his room. Brock slowly takes his pyjamas off and wraps his body in a towel and he goes to the bathroom. Mavis then comes back and removes Brock’s school uniform for the day. She lays out the clothes and leaves them on top of his bed for him to wear once he is done bathing. She then goes into Roman’s room and also shakes him “ Roman Roman wake up” and he springs up. “ After your brother is done bathing you should call me okay” she says “ yes Mavis” as she leaves and goes to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast for the boys. She opens the cupboard and removes Brock and Roman’s lunchboxes. She then proceeds to pack a small box of juice for each of them. She then removes pancake mix from the drawer and starts making pancakes for the boys’ breakfast. As the pancakes are coming together she adds a packet of chips to the boys’ lunchboxes. “Mavis Brock is done” says Roman as he grabs her dress to catch her attention “ okay wait for me in your room, I’ll be there in a minute” she replies as she finishes up what she was doing. She then turns off the stove and heads to the room to bath Roman. Brock is in his room getting ready. Dana emerges from his room and heads into the kitchen, he looks around to see if Mavis did not forget anything before he puts the kettle on to make himself a cup of coffee. He then heads to the living room and turns on the television to watch the early morning sports news. He then heads back to the kitchen and gets he a pancake and finishes making his cup of coffee. Brock walks and says “ morning dad” “morning beast” replies Dana. Brock then goes to the kitchen to get his breakfast which he takes to the dining room. Dana finishes his coffee and unlocks the main door and warms up the car. He then goes back to his room to change out of his gown. Roman comes charging into the room and dives on top of their bed and says “ morning” “ good morning Roman” say both Casey and Dana. “ Go eat your breakfast we are about to leave” says Dana and Roman runs out. Both Casey and Dana shake their heads and laugh “ you got a busy day today” asks Dana “ yeah, I have an early morning meeting” replies Casey “ so I guess I won’t find you when come back from dropping the boys,” asks Dana “ yeah” replies Casey, he then kisses her and says “ goodbye and have a good day” “ you too she says” as he leaves the room. He comes out and says “ good morning Mavis” “ good morning sir” she responds “ alright boys lets hit the road” says Dana as he heads towards the car. Roman and Brock come behind them and they all get into the car. Dana drives out of the yard and goes to drop the kids off at school. “ so I wanted to know if you’ll be able to come watch my football game this week” asks Brock “ what day is the game” responds Dana “ it’s on Thursday” replies Brock. “Yeah I will, I might even bring your grandfather” replies Dana. This brings a smile to Brock but Dana doesn’t see it as he is concentrating on the road. They ride listening to the morning programme on the radio until they reach Roman’s school. “ Goodbye Roman” says Dana “ bye bye” says Roman as he gets out. Brock gets out too as he escorts his younger brother into his school. He comes back and gets into the car. They head to Brock’s school. The car ride there they are listening to the morning programme on the radio. They soon reach their destination and Brock says “bye” and Dana replies “ bye champ” and Brock leaves. Dana then drives back home. It takes him twenty minutes to drive back from Brock’s school. He gets home and heads into his room. He sits and checks a few messages on his phone before he takes a quick power nap. He wakes up after thirty minutes and he goes shower. After he is done showering he puts on the clothes Casey had picked out for him.
