"Still don't see why Elwin had us tape up this room."
*Shriiiiiittt...…Shriiiiiiiittt...…Shriii…..Shriiiiii....Shreeeeeeeeeeeeeet*
"I know, but it's just one room.
Let's call it a night, and worry about it tomorrow."
"Tell the Heartchilds that."
"The Heartchilds!!!!
Almost forgot they are still downstairs.
Be right back."
"We're coming with you."
"Oh….Yeah."
"Can't have two people running off on us in one day."
"So, I was thinking for the walls we could paint them either yellow, or blue.
Or red if you like, but then that's just….."
"Yellow?"
"You want Yellow. Ok then."
"No, I was saying, yellow? Seriously?
I don't want to keep repainting and repainting over and over again just to appease people. I want to get it right on the first shot."
"And we will. We just need two contrasting colors, one on the wall, and one on the floor, to help balance each other out."
"I mean, we could try a palate if you'd like."
"I'll get right on it first thing......."
"Tomorrow."
"What?"
"You'll get on it first thing tomorrow."
"Why wait?"
"Look at the time."
"The ti...….ohhh. Didn't realize it was this late.
Time certainly does fly when you're having fun."
"Then that explains why time was moving so slowly."
"Oh, don't get started, Darius.
These Games were your ideas as much as they were ours."
"As if. I just wanted to…"
"Okay. Okay.
You all can argue with each other on the way home, to whose idea it was, and whose idea it wasn't. What did you do and what didn't you do?"
"Well, Darius obviously didn't clean as much as us."
"Isn't once enough with Ruby?"
"That was back at our house......last I checked....this is not our house."
"Well, again; technically it is Rubys."
"And who is she letting us stay at both places?"
"........We are."
"Then as Stewards, whether our place or not; it is our responsibility to keep all places clean until she comes back."
"Wherever she is."
"You still haven't told him?"
"What's to tell?"
"That she may never come back."
"Don't get your hopes down...…..or his for that sake.
She will come back, and when she does; we'll be ready. This is our perfect opportunity."
"Opportunity for what?"
"To show that she did her job well.
Night Heartchilds. We'll show you out."
"Ahh, I…..I'll stay behind and get an early start for tomorrow."
"You sound like Ruby."
"Wait, she told you to lock up somewhere?"
"Uhhhh…..I meant in voice only."
"Oh. Okay. See you, Rainbow."
"See you all."
"Don't stay up too late, now."
"You're not my Mother.
.....Now, where did they drop that book!!!!"
