"It probably help if we got some sleep too," added Ricardo, "I do want to be fully awake when I paint everyone up for that prank on Hicks."

"Alright," Phoenix nodded shifting and pulling back into their own room.

Ricardo pulled back into their room and lay down. Soon, he was back to dozing again.
Seven hours later...
It was early evening. Miguel and Sonja had gone outside to check up on their trailer and pulled it just inside the main portal, setting it beside one of the walls and out of the way of human and car traffic. They were now setting out the appropriate paints that they were going to use when they and Ricardo started painting everybody up.

Ricardo awoke with a snort and then he stood up with a yawn and a stretch. He wondered how long he had been asleep.

Inside her own room, Ebony was also waking up. Her sides were stained from the crying hours earlier, but she felt none of the pressure of grief that she had felt hours earlier. It took her awhile to understand the full implications to understand what had happened with the twins and how negatively it affected her.
I wasn't thinking straight, she thought, I was upset. I think I need to talk about this.
She got up, making sure not to wake the twins, keeping them wrapped in their baby blanket, and drove to her door and opened it to look out.

Phoenix flicked a mirror as she sensed Ricardo getting up. She slowly opened her eyes and let out a yawn.

Ricardo looked over and smiled. "I think that nap helped, didn't it? I just hope it helped for some others."
* * * * *
Ebony decided to bite the bullet and drove out of her room, softly closing the door behind her so the twins wouldn't get out this time, and headed over to her friend's room. She felt like apologizing for her behavior earlier.

"Yeah it did," Phoenix smiled and flicked a mirror and got to her tires and opened the doors.

"I'm sorry," Ebony pulled back suddenly when the door opened, "I didn't mean to act like that. I wasn't in my right mind. I couldn't help it."

"Thats okay," Phoenix said pulling out. "I'd probably be the same way if mine did the same thing."

"I know... but I don't think neither of us can predict these things accurately," Ebony sighed, "It was unexpected and a little bit frightening. I guess I was too afraid of what might happen to them if they had gotten more than stuck in a crevice in the grow chamber. Now I'm not even sure if I want to leave them alone tonight."

"I know we all have a part in the prank," Phoenix said. "Maybe we can figure something out."

"I would ask Darcy to watch them, but I think she's gonna play an active part as well," said Ebony, "Maybe Mrs. Weathers or Ondine..."

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind watching them," Phoenix said. "It wouldn't hurt to ask."

"I'll wait until they're not busy to ask them," said Ebony, "I never liked interrupting people when, or if, they're in the middle of something. So, I guess if you're gonna be the one to 'curse' Hicks, than you'll probably be the first one out, right?"

Phoenix nodded. "I was going to come back and join the horde. But maybe I can help watch them."

"I wouldn't want you to miss out on all the fun," said Ebony, "and the scare that I'm gonna give him..."
