|| Ari POV ||

It was currently 4 in the morning when I woke up to the sound of crying in the living room. My first instinct was to turn to see if my wife Rikki was in bed. I turned to see the blankets draped gently over an empty space. I shot out of bed, grabbing my pepper spray, and ran to the living room. I aimed my pepper spray forward only to see Rikki sitting on our couch sobbing and singing.

I could hardly sleep tonight, I was so hyper and I wanted to get up and go do something. I quickly hoped out of bed and kissed Ari on the forehead before running into the living room. I sat down and flipped on the TV, I clicked on youtube and chose a Heathers bootleg. For a while I was snuggled up singing quietly in my Owl Lady Nest until 17 came on, suddenly a rush of emotions hit me like a truck. I began to sing 17 as loud as I could without waking up Ari and without choking on my own tears. 

Just as I was about to get to the chorus Ari popped in holding up her pepper spray. I flinched and held my arms up, still singing for some odd reason. 

" NoOo doNT dO iT aRI pLEaSe- " I choked out in tears. 

" Dear lord, Ace what are you doing up this late. " She sighed and sat next to me, tossing the pepper spray on the table. 

" I wanted to watch Heathers " I flashed her my best puppy dog eyes and watched her cave in.

" Fine, but after this its right back to bed, please? " She wrapped her arms around me and looked forward at the tv. I cheered quietly and we spent the rest of the night like this.
