11:41 p.m.
Senny walked down the hall with a sleeping Raspberry cozy in her bowl tucked under her right arm. About to pull out her key, she noticed the flowers. "My, those are pretty," she said to herself, trying to bend down to get the card with out waking Ras up, as usual she was unsuccessful.
Ras stirred quietly, mumbling a few incomprehensible words before opening her eyes slowly. "Seeenny,"she said dazed, staring blankly, "is it time to pway yet?"
Senny smiled weakly shaking her head slowly, reading the card as she spoke, "No hon, it's almost midnight. Besides, study time before play time, haven't you learned that by now?" she finished with a chuckle. "Speaking of which, this is for you," she said, gesturing to the plant in her left hand by lifting it, pulling it closer so Ras could get the card which was pressed between Senny's thumb and the plant.
She pulled it out, looking at the words individually, and began to read it aloud monotonously, "Dee-aeyer Razberry, I wuh-uhz aat thuh-eh sstor-eh-"
"Hon, do you need help?" Senny interrupted.
"Nuh uh!" she responded enthusiastically. "You said I need to sound it out firstes and that's what I did. It sayz 'Dear Raspberry, I was at da store'" she gloated, sticking her tongue out. "I just needs to wearn how to pronounce it fasterer," she explained.
Senny laughed, "Well let's get inside before we get caught. We'll find a nice place to put it," she said in a bit of a motherly tone, a bit surprised with herself. She shook the thought quickly out of her head. "Hey Ras, later, AFTER you get your sleep, let's run through your spelling, do well and I'll teach you to shimmy," she bribed. This had been her motivation method, Ras seemed to really enjoy learning new things, so learning them became a reward for being studious.
Ras nodded quickly at her statement. "Ohskay," she said as Senny walked them in, setting her bowl and plant on the coffee table. She set the card down and yawned, stretching her arms widely. "I go sleepy now, okay?" she said, hoping Senny wouldn't be lonely while she slept.
"Okay, you go sleepy now," Senny said, a wide grin on her face. Ras was so adorable. "I hope you don't mind, I'll be practicing some jazz on guitar," she said as though needing Ras' approval.
"Dat's my faborite beddy-bye moosic, silly," she said matter-of-factly, a smirk on her face.
"Okay then, I'll leave you be," she said with a wink, heading out to her room, turning the fan light off, letting the vanilla cupcake candle illuminate the room.
