head, the excitement lighting her eyes. “Like, I could dress up and look like Rainbow Dash?”
“YEAH! Totally! I have Pinkie Pie stuff. I did this charity thing a year ago for Texas Children’s Hospital. I dressed up as Pinkie Pie and went to the hospital. My singing voice isn’t too bad and I sung a few MLP songs. It was pretty cool seeing the kids, even boys having a good time. It was a lot of fun.”
“Wow. Could I do something like that?”
“Sure. Let me get the stuff and we can totally get our MLP on!”
Reighlyn’s eyes lit up with joy and her blue eyes danced with merriment as she thought about becoming Rainbow Dash. She smiled brightly at me before going back to her book.
Hopefully Daniel wouldn’t have a problem with what we just talked about because Reighlyn seemed in need of just a little bit of girlie time.
I couldn’t keep the smile from my face as I took out my iPad, my book and notebook and got started on my extra credit.
It was after two in the morning, Reighlyn was already passed out in her bed. I shut off the TV, and a nightlight popped on by her bed from being too dark.
I went back to the living room and was typing up my extra credit work when my phone buzzed with an incoming text.
Everything ok? -D
Daniel. Okay. That's right. I was supposed to text him when I was going to sleep. Since I wasn't asleep yet, it hadn't occurred to me. I was entrenched in my studies. So when I opened up his message I was only a little surprised.
Yes. Reighlyn’s sound asleep. I'm finishing up my paper. -M
U need to be asleep. It's late.-D
He really was a bossy kind of guy. I wasn't too sure how I liked that. I've never known bossy guys. Most of them were more passive than aggressive or they just didn't notice me.
I'm good. I have a little more to do then I'm going to get comfy.
It's not good, being up so late. You should get at least 8 hrs of sleep .
Thank God I'm an adult right? :)
It's the weekend. U have lots of time for school. It's extra credit anyway .
Okay, dad. Should I salute you 2, sir?
You have a smart mouth.

Get some rest, Moriah
I didn't even bother with a response. I set my phone aside and worked on my paper. Of course I could put it down and get some rest, but the quicker I get it done, the quicker I could relax. I didn't need the extra credit, but I wanted it. I wanted to excel. Make my future worth it since my past wasn’t too much to go on. I wanted to be the best I could be.
Good grief. I was such a nerd. I had no life whatsoever. I mean look at me. Friday night, and I’m babysitting? Happily doing school work?
I was. I liked challenging myself. I liked volunteering. Was it life fulfilling though?
Ugh. Forget this. I set my iPad and Bluetooth keyboard down and started reading.
When she didn’t respond back, I figured she went ahead and heeded my demand. She was crazy staying up all night working on school work. Especially since it was the beginning of the weekend and it was extra credit. Something she said she didn’t need.
I just finished my last set and it was four in the morning. Perfect time for a work out. I could work out at home, but I didn't want to wake them and usually the guys from XM went right after work so we met at the gym and worked out.
“Damn, Duke. What's up with you, bro?”
I wiped the sweat that was dripping off my face before I answered. “What do you mean?”
“You like, took that set to a whole new level. Tommy said you banked more tonight than we have in a while.”
In a way he was right. I made more tonight than I have in a long time. Fifteen hundred was double what I normally made.
I could only shrug my shoulders. I wasn't about to tell them the reason why I worked extra hard. I shouldn't even be thinking about that reason except for the business purpose of her taking care of my child. But with each performance, I imagined it was her I was performing for.
“Yeah, Duke. Now
