-Harry-

I watched Katie run out of the house, dragging Sapphire behind her. I smiled and ran to catch up with then. I grabbed Sapphires hand when I reached them. 

"We do a lot of crafty things around here, are you guys good at crafts?" Katie asked us.

"Sapphire is, me, not so much." I laughed. Katie looked at Sapphire and smiled.

"It's true," Sapphire said, "he sucks." My mouth went wide and I let go of her hand and squeezed her sides, and her hands flew up and started smacking my arm. 

"You're that ticklish?!" Katie asked, surprised. 

"It's bad." 

"I can tell." Katie answered Sapphire.

"Anyway, what kind of crafts are we talking about here?" Sapphire asked. I love seeing her interested in things like this. 

"I have a graffiti wall." 

"Really!" Sapphire's favorite thing to do, art wise, was graffiti. She told me this when we walked past a graffiti wall on the highway.

-Flashback-

We were walking, at a fast pace, along the side of the highway trying to find the exit we needed to go on when Sapphire stopped in her tracks and I looked up from the ground and she was walking very slowly along side a giant wall off graffiti. Her hand grazed along the wall, feeling every bump the paint made. 

"It's beautiful." I said, and I put my arm around her waist. 

"Gorgeous. It's my favorite kind of art to do. Almost every piece of work has a deep meaning to it. Something very personal, and that's why most of them are either depressing, colorful, dark, or happy. The colorful ones are usually made by people who want to express something that they feel like they can't express to other people. They all have such a beautifully deep meaning, and that's the main reason I love it so much." She said.

"Have you ever done graffiti on a building?"

"Yeah, I got arrested at ten for about three days, and then I was forced to paint over it."

"That;s harsh."

"Yeah, but that's the law for you." She said. Sapphire grabbed my hand and we were walking again. 

-End of Flashback-

 "Yeah! Let's go, just make sure you don't loose me." Katie said. We followed her to a dark tunnel with concrete walls.

"Hold on." Katie said. There was some fumbling around then she found the light and turned it on. The whole back wall off the huge tunnel was covered in the art that Katie has done. Sapphire let go of my hand and walked over there. Just like on the highway, she ran her hand across the wall and told Katie that they were beautiful. 

"Can we paint?" Sapphire asked eagerly.

"That's the main reason I brought you out here." Katie answered. I stood there and watched them talk and pic out the spray paint and the brushes they were going to use. I heard faint footsteps coming into the tunnel, we turned around and Tomas was walking over to us. 

"Hey Tom!" I said and waved at him. He waved back and walked towards me. 

"Albert wanted me to ask you if you would join us, and hit golf balls with us." Tomas said. 

"Yeah, I haven't played golf in a while. Why not, thanks man." I told him and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Anytime Harry." He smiled at me, and I smiled back.
