Wiping banana cream pie off her face, as some of it drips down her lowcut top \<squirms, Ooooooooo! That’s _cold_\>, purplebear licks her lips \<hey, pretty good!\> and grabbing her pillow, sneaks up behind VB while he’s flirting with Topaze. _ **THWAAACKK** _!! Right upside his head, knocking him to the ground…  
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA Haven’t you learned yet not to turn your back on me, my dear? 😉

_peeks from her flowered comforter at VB… uncovers herself and looks up at him_ You think so? _smiles… giggles at Purple… looks at Silo now soaked_ Hey hey hey I didn’t do anything _takes her spritz bottle from the fridge and chases after Silo with it_

rubbing the back of his head, admiring the pretty stars…

</div>

Grabbing her oversized pillow again, purplebear comes up behind red\_dragon and _ **THWACKS** _ him upside his head for picking on a newbie. Take _that_!

Turning around quickly, she catches VB across his rumpus with her pillow for hitting Falcon twice in a row.

Heheheheehe! I just _love_ pillow fights!!! 😃

red\_dragon snatches up his pillow and thwaps purplebear in the legs, making hewr fall down like a house of cards. He pulls out a jar of honey. Now the party begins!

Oww! Hey, the pie thing was a legitimate mistake on my part and I tried to apologize. But if you want a fight

(Pulls out a giant bottle of honey and slings it at Purplebear, who is immediately covered in a thick goo of honey and feathers.)

Nice top, by the way.

</div>

Suddenly finding herself on the floor and covered with honey from both red\_dragon and kunilou, purplebear sits up and tries to brush some of the feathers off her face. What was _that_ for?

Okay, this means **WAR**! She gets up, slips down in the honey, and gets up again… \<you ok, Topaz?\> and looks around for her pillows, or what’s left of them…

Anybody got an extra pillow for me to use?? Please??  
Suddenly noticing the state of her top, she stops to quickly adjust it to cover as much as it can, considering the state of gooeyness it’s in, and the rip on one side. \<How’d that happen?\> :o

Red\_dragon stumbles up, and mustering all of his strength, executes a whirlwind attack with the pillow. At the end, TopazAntares lies with her head spinning on the floor. Then he dips his finger into the honey covering Purplebear. Mmmm, honey, he remarks, turning to Girlbysea.

“green tea, cold. Shaken, not sti-”

He manages almost to get out the cliche, when he whirls around just in time to be smacked by…

</div>

Pausing for a moment of gallantry, VB helps Topaz and PB up, even though they’re covered in honey.

“Hmmmm tastes pretty good! And the honey isn’t bad, either!;)”

“Oh, GBS! It’s so good to see you! Yes, m’dear, a cold one would be good right now.”

“Hey Falcon! Do you want a drink too?”

\< BTW, _loved_ your picture! \>

Thanks, GBS, for those! I’m sure they’ll come in handy…

purplebear…running up behind red\_dragon, and _ **THWACKING** _ him with her new pillows, right upside his head, knocking him over.So, you like honey do you? She says with an evil grin, as she drips honey all over his face…

Thank you, VB for helping me up again. Whew! \<giggles\> So, you _like_ the honey, do you? 😉 oh! You meant… Oh! :o
