So, this is going to be a new series of drabbles involving two characters and some sort of table. It won't always involve eating a meal at the dinner table or whatever, it could be a variety of things. ... Okay bare with me, I think this could be a lot of fun. Anyway, enjoy!
The six year old hopped out of bed, stepping carefully as not to disturb his brother or pet, both still snoozing away. His eyes blinked, still adjusting to the dark. The sky was just starting to brighten, the sun would be up soon.
His red hair bounced as he ran downstairs, smiling. He would only have to wait a little longer. Climbing onto the couch, he watched the long hand on the clock. Tic, tic, tic. The small sound soon became only background noise. The boy was too busy listening to his thoughts, and all the ideas of what he and his brother wanted to do today. But when he noticed a small light turn on, he immediately became alert.
Linda smiled. "Ready to get started?" she asked. "Yes!" Phineas gave his mother a big smile and practically flew to the kitchen. Linda giggled and started her Saturday morning routine.
Phineas watched as all the ingredients his mother placed in the big blue bowl became one. He would help hold the bowl steady as each cup was filled. As he sipped the cold milk she had gave him and talked about a mile a minute, he would still keep an eye on the oven. The small cakes slowly began to rise, almost like magic.
Finally, the timer rang and his mother opened the oven. After they were cooled, Linda would ask the same question she asked every Saturday morning, and it would usually have a different answer than the week before. "Butter or jam?" "Butter please!" Today was a butter day.
Once they were lightly painted with creamy butter, Linda placed the two muffins in front of Phineas. She then plated her own muffins and sat down. Phineas took a big bite out of the top of the muffin and gave his mother a huge smile, as well as a satisfactory "Mmmmm". Another successful Saturday morning breakfast.
The rest of the Flynn-Fletcher family would be up soon. As much as Phineas loved spending the Saturday with his friends and family, his favorite moment of the day was their Saturday morning tradition. When it was just him, his mom, and a plate of hot blueberry muffins.
