(Lol I know right!)
- Abby giggled. "No, I wanna be the big fish!" She said as the big fish swam away. She watched Ryker lay down, and she fought the urge to lay down herself. Instead, she looked across the pond at a large tree. The light hit the tree just right. The leaves split the light in such a way that the rays darted in all different directions. Abby stood, examining the tree. +I can make it+ she thought as she started the small walk to the other side of the shimmering pond. She stopped beneath the oak tree and studied the branches. Abby jumped up, grabbing a low hanging limb and hauling her body onto it. "Phew" she muttered as she grabbed a branch above her and stood on the one she was previously sitting on. She pulled herself onto the next four branches before she stopped. They were getting considerably thinner, so she decided she was high enough. She sighed as she sun broke through the thin leaves. "Wow" she mumbled as a butterfly landed on a leaf above her head. Abby smiled, looking around for Ryker. |

Ryker arched an eyebrow. "There are always bigger fish." he coughed, grinning a little before continuing to stare at the sky. Roughly five minutes later he lifted his head. Abby was no where in sight. However, she was horrible at being quiet, so he quickly noticed her rather high up in a tree. He considered it for about 5 more minutes before pushing himself off the ground and walking over, easily jumping into the tree and hauling himself up, a branch below her. Thaaat's really the only branch he felt thick enough to hold him at this height. Rule of thumb... should be thicker than your arms. A quick glance at his own ruled out any higher. |

"Show off" she said as she watched him climb higher into the tree. She grinned when he stopped. She peeked at the clouds from the holes in the covering of leaves. The butterfly had flown off and Abby had missed it. She sighed a happy sigh and leaned a little so she could see Ryker. "How's the view down there?" She asked with a smirk |

Ryker grinned a little before leaning back against the trunk and looking around. At her question he snorted. "Just fine thank you very much." he sniffed before swinging out of the tree, jogging over to the next one and jumping even higher into a different tree. This one was much sturdier, so he climbed waaay higher than Abby. "Hows the view from down there?" He asked with a smirk. |

Abby watched him get out of the tree she was in. "Not fair!" She yelled as she monkied her way out of the tree she was in and into the next. Because she was smaller, she was able to pass Ryker and go higher than she was before. She almost couldn't reach one branch. She had to stand up as she held onto a side branch, tippy toe and hop to hang onto the branch right above Ryker. She threw her leg over, pulled down her shirt, then climbed the neck low branch before leaning against the trunk. "That's better" she said as she eyed her husband. "And again I ask... how's the view?" |

Ryker groaned as Abby chased him up, passed him easily, and shot up farther into the tree. He narrowed his eyes jokingly with a heavy sigh. "I guess there are bad things about having waaay more muscle than anyone else." he half joked half sniffed. At her question he chuckled. "As long as I can see you, I'm good." he grinned, glancing up at her with a sweet smile before looking down at the lake. |

"Never a bad thing! It just means if I fall I have a safety net to catch me!" She giggled then blushed. "How sweet! This ring makes it to where you have no choice but to see me. If you can't see me, then we have a problem" she put one hand on her hip, the other hanging onto a nearby branch. She felt a little wobbly in the tree since she hadn't been in one for so long, so she crept back down to his branch. "Let me squeeze in... right here" she positioned herself between Ryker and the tree trunk, facing him. Abby gave him a soft kiss, her head lightly leaning against his forehead as she looked down at the ground |

Ryker smiled a little. "I will catch you." He laughed at her next words. "I will enjoy that. Means I have enough excuse to stick by your side forever." He grinned, scooting forward slightly to give her a little more room. He reciprocated the kiss, putting an arm around her. Just in case.. Ry knew she had a tendency to be a little clumsy at times. |

Abby took a deep breath as her eyes scanned the area. She could sit here forever with the man she loved. She didn't mind being wedged between him and the tree. When his arm wrapped around her, she giggled "always protecting me, aren't you?" She asked as she put her head on his shoulder. That was her spot. Her head fit perfectly into the side of his shoulder, her nose brushing his neck. |

Ryker smiled a little as the pond shimmered in the sunlight. He was comfortable and warm and happy. At her words he laughed a little. "I can't not protect you." He breathed in. Her scent was so.. calming. She just smelled good. He then looked at the sky, his eyes twinkling slightly. |
