A new day had dawned bright and crisp and Tirza promptly decided she wanted nothing to do with it. There were so many things to explore, faces to meet, things that could be done but the scaled filly just rolled over onto her side and huffed.
She could feel her brother nearby, the constant in her life, but for a few more precious seconds she did not even have the energy to acknowledge him.
Was there some magic that could allow her to sleep until she got bored of it, not becomes some big ol' dumb sun decided to rise or because her treacherous stomach decided it needed to be filled. That little pesky nuisance of life had woken her up earlier so the very least that the day could have done was to just never start so she could go back to sleep.
She did not open her dark grey eyes, just thumped her multi-coloured tail against the soft ground in a huff. Tirza was fully awake now but she was trying very hard not to be.
"Do me a favour and stand so that you're blocking the sun. Your fat head should do the trick."
The young filly was at least 75% sure her mother wasn’t close enough to hear that remark or assume it was directed at her - which was good. When possible, Tirza preferred to be on her best behaviour for her parents, wishing to impress them however she might, but her darling twin brother got no such treatment when they were alone. He was her favourite and Tirza would not pretend to be anything other than her true self when it was just the pair of them.
Still without opening her eyes, she speaks out into the morning air. “Gravy, why do we have to wake up every day?”
