Jake opens his eyes and finds himself staring at one of Francine's pillows. He yawns and rolls over. This apparently disturbs Francine, who says, "Thank you for shopping our Mart Mart. Have a nice day."
"Huh?" Jake says, but Francine doesn't answer him.
She does roll over and start to snore though. Jake emulates her. When he wakes again, weak December light creeps in through the edges of the window shade. He sits up and Francine grunts.
"Huh?" Jake says, and Francine sits up.
"Are you getting up?" she asks.
"Not yet, but I can if you want a little morning delight."
Francine elbows him gently and lies back down, "For real."
"Yeah, why?"
"I thought this was your day to sleep in."
"That's true. I have nothing to do. However, I am awake."
"I'm getting there. I had a dream I was at work. Wait, I was thinking about work and I wasn't getting paid! Make that a nightmare."
"I could tell. You thanked me for shopping at Mart Mart."
Francine sits up suddenly, "I did?!"
"Yeah, I think you were talking in your sleep."
"Geez, that place is getting to me already. Well, at least I haven't tried to hit anyone with the cash register yet. And I have to go in there later."
"Well, I have nothing to do."
"Don't make me jealous."
"No, it's not all good. Literally, I have nothing to do. I'm bored. I miss having a blog."
"So start another one."
"Uh, I don't know. I don't want to flake out on people again. Maybe I'd just get bored with it again."
Francine grabs his arm, "I know, why don't we do a blog together? We could write about our miserable seasonal jobs. We can goad each other on."
Jake thinks about it for a second, then says, "OK, that'd be fun."
Francine laughs sarcastically, "Wow! What a big step in our relationship! We're doing a blog together. What's next?"
"Celebrating," Jake says, pulling her against him.
