Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

A few hours before the creative meeting at the Tkyo Studios, Theo woke up feeling groggy.

For the last few days, every time he woke up in the morning he felt dizzy.

But that was not a surprise to him, he knew exactly why he felt tired as he stood up from his bed and headed to his bathroom.

He has been sleeping only two hours per night, and last night was no different.

After he had dinner with Aurora, Theo immediately went back to work.

He was in a delicate part of the anime production, and he could not afford any mistakes.

He went to bed only at 3 am, and he only did that because he knew that if he did not sleep at least 2 hours per night, he would not be able to work normally during the day.

Theo didn't even bother looking at the clock or opening the window shades of his room as he entered the bathroom.

He knew what time it was, 5 am.

The time that he woke up every day to work out with his sisters and the girls.

Even with all the work he had to do, he still worked out with girls every morning.

If he did not do that, he would not have the energy to work during the day as the workout was able to wake him up and make him more energetic.

Plus, he did not want to stop teaching the girls self-defense, after all, he never knew when and if someone would attack them.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

Theo brushed his teeth and took a hot shower.

The hot water was relaxing and woke up his mind from the dizziness caused by the lack of sleep.

Theo left his bathroom dressed in only a towel around his hips.

His eyes were bright and his face did not show any signs of sleepiness anymore.

"Sylph, open the window shades." Theo asked as he walked to his closet.

One second later, the floor-to-ceiling glass windows were visible once again as the blackout shades were retracted by Sylph.

Through the windows, it was possible to see a beautiful view.

A world of white.

The winter arrived with a big show.

The snowfall has been happening since Tuesday, and there were no signs that it would stop any time soon.

The lake in his backyard got frozen 2 nights ago, and it was already possible to step on the frozen waters without any fears that the ice would break.

The only place that was not covered with snow in his backyard was the lane that surround the lake.

Theo used the same system that the government used to melt the snow from the streets on his lane.

Therefore, every day Sylph would turn on the heating system to melt the snow, this way Theo and Aurora would be able to run outside without any trouble with the snow.

And with the cold light from the wintry morning shining upon his bedroom, Theo dressed up in his winter workout clothes.

They were designed to resist the cold and warm his body as he ran through the cold weather outside.

He put on his running shoes and got out of his bedroom.

At the same time he did that, Aurora's door opened and a beautiful silver-haired girl stepped outside her room.

She was dressed in the same style of workout clothes as Theo, but her clothes were pink and not black like Theo's.

"Good morning, Cupcake!" Theo said with a loving smile as he patted her head.

"Good morning, Big brother!" Aurora replied with a sweet smile as she enjoyed her brother's pats.

"How did you sleep?" Theo asked as the two of them started walking down the hall.

"Great! Maya slept with me last night. She spent the night cuddling me." Aurora giggled as she remembered the kitty.

"Lucky you. Maya only slept with me one night this last week." Theo said with a regretful voice.

He loved sleeping with the warmth of the kitty next to him.

It was very cozy.

"It serves you right. Who told you to sleep so scarcely this week. She is obviously mad at you." Aurora snorted as the two of them arrived on the ground floor of the house.

Theo laughed wryly when he heard that.

Aurora was indeed right, Maya did go to his room, but when she saw that he wasn't there, she went to sleep with Aurora.

"I can't do anything about it." Theo said as they opened the backyard door and stepped outside.

The cold wind immediately hit their faces and snow fell on top of their heads.

They were grateful that they were wearing warm clothes.

They did their routine stretches and shortly after, they started running.

And as they ran for about 10 minutes, their bodies were not feeling cold anymore, which meant that they could run without any trouble.

"Are we really going to leave Mayia alone when we go to the Heart Islands?" Aurora asked as they ran.

Even though they were not the ones who took care of Maya, Aurora was still worried about leaving Maya alone for two weeks.

Sylph was the one who took care of Maya.

She fed her, gave her water, played with her, changed her litter box, and so on.

But when Aurora or Theo was home, Maya spent most of her time with them.

The kitty loved to nap on their laps.

Theo was silent for a while after Aurora's question.

He had the same doubts as Aurora, he was worried that something bad might happen to their kitty while they were away.

Even though he knew that the chances for that to happen were extremely low with Sylph taking care of Maya.

"How about we take her with us? We can book her a hotel for cats there and she can also have fun on the islands." Theo suggested suddenly.

He could not bear the thought of leaving his kitty alone, so he had to take her with them.

Aurora's eyes lit up when she heard Theo's suggestion, she liked that idea very much.

"That's a great idea, Big Bother! Let's do that!" She exclaimed between her breaths as they continued running.

They continued talking about how to take Maya with them as they ran.

They ran for a while when they heard Sylph saying that the girls arrived in front of their property.

Theo asked Sylph to open the gates as he and Aurora continued running through the white landscape.

5 minutes later, five girls opened the backyard door and stepped outside.

Ayia, Shizuka, June, Sam, and Sayuri arrived at the same coincidentally.

When they stepped into the backyard, they immediately searched for Theo and Aurora around the landscape.

They knew that at this time of the day, the two of them would be running around the lake.

And they did find the two of them on the other side of the backyard, past the frozen lake.

"How about we start stretching? This way when they pass here, we can run with them." Ayia suggested to the girls.

The girls nodded and started stretching.

2 minutes later, Theo and Aurora were arriving in front of the house when they saw the girls stretching.

They smiled and ran faster.

"Come on! Follow us!" Aurora giggled as she passed them with Theo.

Theo laughed too.

The girls did not waste time and followed the two of them.

6 beautiful girls and 1 handsome boy could be seen running through the magical white landscape.

A perfect way to start a wintry day.
