The next morning Maze woke up to the sweet chirp of birds. Wait it was morning and she woke up, which means she fell asleep last night. Maze never slept, never! Oh no, it was morning and she was going to be late to work with a bunch of unfinished work.
Maze gathered her papers and quickly stuffed them into her bag. She grabbed Creature and ran out the door. Maze ran as fast as she could and almost fell forward when she made it to Flutter Shy's house. She knocked on the door impatiently, Flutter Shy opened the door.
"Can you watch Creature," Maze said quickly.
"Shu..." Flutter shy started but Maze was gone and Creature sat in her place.
When maze got to work she went through the doors panting to be greeted with the always welcoming face of her boss.
Maze sat at her desk writing rapidly, her boss had given her yet more paperwork as punishment for being late. He said that this was her 'last warning' which meant she would have to go to drastic measures if she didn't want to be fired, she had to get an alarm clock. Maze never before this considered getting an alarm clock because she never slept.
When she was still a filly the kids at school would call her a vampire because of it, that's why she never thought about getting friends as an adult because she didn't have any as a filly.
Maze kept writing, she noticed it actually felt pretty good get some rest her skin was glowing like her bands (though not as much) and she didn't have the dark circles under her eyes. That day Maze got all her paperwork done.
After work Maze went to buy an alarm. When she got home she set up the alarm clock and waited patiently for Flutter Shy to come by with Creature. As she waited she pondered the idea of 'play'. Flutter Shy had told her to play with Creature, and when she thought about it he did sleep a lot of the time it would probably be good for him.
When Creature got home Maze started right away. Maze dug through the bag of things Flutter Shy had givin her. She found a bouncy ball and the through it, Creature ignored it. She found a frisbee and tossed it, Creature ignored it too. Maze rummaged through the bag looking for something Creature would like, then she found a metal rod. She found a button and pressed it, a bright light shined in her eyes and she quickly redirected it to the floor. The light got Creatures attention and he got up, he started to sing and light up. Maze found the button again and pressed it, the light turned off and Creature stopped singing and glowing as well. It was as if he was responding to it.
Maze pressed the button on and off making a pattern. Creature imitated it through song and light just like yesterday.
Maze wasn't sure if this counted as ‘playing’ but it was enjoyable. They went one like that a little longer, Maze making the pattern and Creature making it more enjoyable though his light show. Then Creature climbed on her back and then both fell asleep.
