Ellie wakes up when the sun slips in from behind the blinds that, under normal circumstances, should have done the exact opposite. Squinting in the light, she glances over at her alarm clock and, noting the time, rolls out of her bed.
Her room, while not exactly messy, seems a bit unorganized, partly due to the several piles of books on her floor, but perhaps moreso from the papers on her desk. Ellie first stumbles over to her computer, still in her pajamas, and jiggles the mouse. The screensaver disappears and reveals a password box, which melts away following a waterfall of keystrikes on her keyboard, soon revealing an E-mail inbox.
Scanning the messages marked as new, one particular subject catches her eye. Barely having read the contents, Ellie quickly scrambles out of her chair and towards the bathroom to get ready. Ten minutes later, she's already out the door, rushing for an important date at the Pokémon Center.
