Just a little something I came up with. If you want me to add on to it just put that in the review I know you're gonna post :D

Calcifer groaned as he heard tiny footsteps pad across the polished floorboards. He groaned as he heard the soft child's voice call out to him, timid at first, but then more persistent. "...Cal…? Cal? Cal!"

"What could you possible want at this hour Markl?!" Calcifer whispered in a sharp tone.

"I'm hungry…. And it's already eight anyways. Sophie's usually up by now making me food." Markl whined, and Calcifer groaned once more in reply. "Oh c'mon Cal! Just… Make me something!"

"Sorry kid. I can't. I'm a fire demon! I don't cook!"

"But you do for Sophie. And Master Howl."

"That's different. They're adults!"

"Not Sophie. She's only nineteen."

"Meh."

"But…"

"Markl! If you're so hungry, then go find her yourself! She's probably in her room."

"..."

"Go on!"

"Fine." Markl huffed and stomped across the hall. He hesitantly knocked on the door, assuming it was locked, like Sophie always kept it. But after a few pounds on the shiny wood, he turned the handle and the door swung easily open. "Cal! She's not in here!" He nearly shouted.

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that Markl. I guess you'll just have to go back to sleep, like a normal…"

"I shall look elsewhere!" The boy cut in. "Any suggestions?" Calcifer, deciding that sleep was no longer an option, groaned for a final time and said,

"Check the bathrooms." Which Markl did, and returned to the fire demon with no young hat maker at his side. "Might as well do a complete search of this whole floor then." He muttered.

"I can't find her anywhere!" Markl said, after completing the task.

"Did you look upstairs?"

"No, you said only this floor."

"Well, I think you should check upstairs."

"But that's where Master Howl sleeps!" Markl gasped.

"Are you honestly still afraid of him?" Calcifer chuckled. "He's not gonna kill you if you wake him up. I didn't… In fact, he might even help you look for Sophie!"

"Yeah but he's… Just… Okay fine." Markl gave in and started climbing the staircase. Before the little flame knew it, he had disappeared from view and everything was once more quiet. So quiet….

"Cal! Wake up! I found Sophie!" Calcifer's eyes shot open at the sound of the ten year old's awfully loud voice.

"You seem to have forgotten her…" He said, staring at the empty space beside Markl.

"Well, you see, she was in Master Howl's room."

"Hm. That's kind of odd, why would she sleep in there?" Calcifer wondered aloud.

"No, she was with Master Howl."

"Ah, so they were both up, discussing something?"

"No."

"Well then what were they doing?"

"Sleeping."

"Together?"

"Yup."

"Why," Calcifer started, "That's… Repulsive! That's… Scandalous! That's… Horrible! That's… Actually not surprising at all.

"But, Cal I…"

"You see, young child, they've shown great affection towards each other ever since Sophie brought back Howl's heart. It's understandable too. I mean, who wouldn't love a girl who found your heart and returned it?"

"Cal?"

"Yes?"

"I just want some bacon and eggs." And at that very second, a very sleepy looking nineteen year old padded down the stairs and over to the two.

"Good morning!" She remarked with a sweet smile, ruffling Markl's hair. "You're probably starving! Sorry I got up so late, I fell asleep in one of the guest bedrooms. The mattress was very comfortable."

Calcifer and Markl just looked to each other with raised eyebrows as Sophie wandered into the depths of the kitchen to locate the saucepan.

Done! Sorry if my computer glitched some things up. The new uploading format is weird.
