"Not trapped. I could leave if I wanted to." Ryker protested, sighing with a slight- yet tired- eye roll as she disappeared but looked out a second later. "Now that I actually fell asleep for 1.6 seconds my brain won't wake up again today." He grumbled to himself, trying to think up what he should do in the meantime- groom Serpant for the billionth time?

Abby shrunk to the ground. The door shut but she reached up and pulled it open again. "This door needs to go away" she pushed it all the way open with her feet. Abby paid on the ground and stared up at the ceiling. "I want to paint something. Do you have a picture of Serpant, Sun, and Shadow all together? And where did I put my paints?" She got up and started rummaging through the house. "Aha!" She pulled out a huge box of acrylic paints from inside a random closet. "Pick a blank wall that needs some Abby makeovers please!" She tilted her head toward Ryker. "Wake upppppp" she poked him

"Wait.. huh? Paint something? A wall?" Ryker opened his eyes with surprise and slight concern. "You want to paint a wall?" He asked. Slowly moving into action, he grabbed a picture of the three horses he has just printed out the day before and handed it to her. "Maybe you should paint on PAPER. Like a semi-normal person." Ryker snorted.

"Nooooo we need a beautiful portrait of the three of them!" She snatched with a grin the paper then started drawing lines onto the wall with a pencil. The lines slowly started forming into horses. She did darker lines for Serpant, light lines for Sun and even lighter lines for Shadow. Abby pulled out the paints and started painting. It took her five hours to get the drawings and the base colors, another five hours for the coats and details and another two hours for the small details that made the horses almost come alive. "Done" she said after thirteen straight hours of work

(one way to get a whole day gone lolll)

All Ryker ended up thinking was that at least he could go to sleep. He wandered back over to the couch, collapsed, dropped his hat on his head, and passed out. A WHOPPING 13 hours later he sleepily opened his eyes. Shocked to see it was BLACK outside and Abby had JUST finished painting. "What the- how long was I asleep for!? What time is it!? How long did it take you to paint that!? And HOW THE RATTLESNAKES ARE YOU THAT GOOD AT PAINTING?!?!" He exclaimed, scrambling off the couch and peering at the clock. "It's 1 AM!!!!" Ryker groaned, covering his face with his hands.

"Mornin sunshine" she giggled as his questions started going nuts. "Thirteen hours. This is what happened when I draw or paint or color... anything really " she smiled at him. "You slept the whole time. " she walked over to him, kissed him then washed off her paint covered brushes. "Don't touch the wall though" she placed the brushes on a paper towel to dry.

"This isn't MORNING IT IS LATE AT NIGHT AND NOW I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO SLEEP TILL 1 PM THE NEXT DAY." Ryker huffed, tossing the hat back to the couch. As she kissed him he was really in too much shock- from the time and the kiss- to do anything except for blink. That is a glimpse of shocked, tired, brain dead Ryker. "Dont touch the wall... got it. Also, why does it look like Sun, Shadow, and Serpant just got into our house and are about to trample us? How LIFELIKE were you aiming for? I'm going to scream whenever I come out here thinking they somehow implanted themselves in the wall." He snorted, leaning against the counter and sucking in a deep breath.

Abby smiled "very lifelike. " she grinned. "Now what?"

".... now what? It is 1.. am... in the morning... ans you're asking now what?" Ryker sounded mystified as he shook his head. "Now I try to sleep. Because you sleep in the night-time. Not the daytime." He snorted.

"But you slept for THIRTEEN STRAIGHT HOURS! How can you sleep NOW!?" She threw up her hands then let them fall to her side. "I think your more crazy than me!"
