Cynthia lay in bed awake. He was having trouble sleeping. He had a test the next day and he hadn't had much time to study for it because of the various extracurricular activities he was a part of. He turned over and lay on his side, attempting to find a comfortable way to fall asleep. Nope... Cynthia turned back around and lay on his other side. Not there yet... Cynthia decided to just lay on his back. He put his hands behind his head and gazed up at the ceiling. All of a sudden, he heard footsteps in the hallway. His eyes shifted to the digital clock sitting on his desk. It was only 3 AM. Who was awake at this time? Cynthia felt his heart pounding in his chest. Slowly, Cynthia got out of bed and tiptoed over to his door. He opened the door a little and peeked outside. The hallway was dark, but with the moonlight shining in from the window at the end of the hall, Cynthia saw a small figure walking past his door. Was that Little MPP? Cynthia held his breath and continued to watch. Oh no! It appeared that Little MPP was headed for the stairs. Sleep-walking towards the stairs! Cynthia opened his door and ran over to Little MPP. He was worried that she might tumble down the stairs. He grabbed Little MPP and picked her up. As her older brother, he had to make sure that she was alright! After picking her up, Cynthia realized that she was still asleep. He cradled her back to her room and opened the door. He walked in quietly because he did not want to wake MPP, who shared a room with Little MPP. He carefully placed her back into her small bed.
Cynthia left the room and walked back to his own room. He lay back in bed and thought about how it was good that he'd been awake. If he hadn't been awake, who knows what would've happened to Little MPP. He smiled, closed his eyes, and yawned. Okay. Now he felt ready to go to sleep. And surely enough, within a minute, Cynthia was sound asleep.
