Getting breakfast ready.

"Good morning, Kaylee," Angela chirped.

"Morning!" the nutritionist-chef responded, who was busy preparing breakfast for sixteen people.

"Do you need help with breakfast?" Angela asked.

"Um, sure," Kaylee replied. "You're up early."

"I'm more of a morning person," the young psychiatrist responded, walking up to the kitchen island. "What can I help with?"

"You can deep fry the youtiao," Kaylee answered.

"Congee and Chinese doughnuts?" Angela smiled. "It's what my mother made for me when I was a little girl."

"Mine too!" Kaylee chirped proudly. "I'm making jian bing, dumplings, and steamed eggs as well!"

"Are we going to have a Chinese breakfast every morning?"

"No, I like some variety," Kaylee replied. "I'll usually start planning the meals the previous day."

"So you already know what we're going have lunch and dinner?"

"I'll be prepping for lunch after we finish breakfast!"

"I'm glad we have you as our personal chef!" Angela smiled. "I don't think any of the other girls know how to cook!"

"You cook at home?" Kaylee asked.

"A bit. I actually find it relaxing to bake."

"I think Allison's birthday is at the end of the month so you can bake her a cake!"

"I thought you said no sweets?"

"A birthday is an exception," Kaylee giggled.

"Who's birthday?" Crystal wondered as she walked into the dining hall with a towel hanging around her neck.

"Nobody's!" Kaylee shouted back.

"Breakfast smells great, by the way!" Crystal noted. "Need any help?"

"Perhaps make sure everyone is up here by seven," Kaylee suggested. "I don't want the congee to get cold!"

"Sure!" Crystal turned to head towards the elevator and wondered if she should go down to Jonathan's quarters and give him a personal wake-up call.
