_gets herself a big mug of coffee and sips it as she keeps tickling… giggles waiting for the guys to notice and react_ This is fun and quiet is no fun. Loud is tons of fun. Hmm _considers popping in the BSB Millenium CD to blast the guys awake_

Topaz, don’t you dare. I assure you, boy bands this early in the morning is apt to cause a full-on attack.

\<sneaks up behind Soulsling to steal his pillow\>

It’s no fair being armed if you don’t want to play…

Now where did I leave that chocolate… hmmmm?

VB stretches and yawns…

“Hmmmmmmm…WHAT THE!!! **SHAVING CREAM!!!** ”  
"Oh well…may as well take advantage of it…

Now where’s my razor?"

VB walks toward the bathroom, singing softly to himself…

“Shaving cream, be nice and clean, shave every day and you’ll always look keen!”

“GBS hon, be a sweetie and pour me a cuppa; I don’t do coffee! Thanks love!”

Well, Soulsling… since you have stolen back your pillow, I guess I just have to sit here in front of you and lick the chocolate off my fingers (chocolate goes soooo well with coffee)

:Yawning: Slowly getting to her feet and stretching her arms over her head, PB looks around to see who all is awake; and starts heading over in VB’s direction. She sees him headed for the bathroom, and turns towards Topaze and Pandora. picking up the pillow dpr so graciously gave her yesterday, she comes up behind them and :_ **THWACKS!** _ them across their behinds. Good morning ladies! Quickly moving over behind Swiddles, who is still distracted by watching the guys, and :_ **THWOMPS** _ her across her back, knocking her over \<accidentally, I did n’t mean to hit you that hard, dear\>.

dpr, my dear. It was just that I had so _much_ on me, that it couldn’t _help_ but drip off! As for the rest of my night: I did have pleasant dreams 😉 once I finally got to bed. And, never you mind what I did with the rest of my night! 😛

GBS, I’ll take a cuppa also, I absolutely _never_ do coffee! You’re such a sweetie, as always!🙂

Giggling to herself, PB then wanders over behind soulsling, who is busy ogling Pandora, and _ **THWACKS** _ him upside his head! G’mornin’ to you too, soul!

Now, where’d VB go…

Yipes! _jumps when she gets whapped across the bottom_ Heeeey _finds her spritz bottle and spritzs Purple a few times with the cool water_ Take that! And that!

</div>

VB steps out of the bathroom.

“Whew! Someone light a match!”

Freshly planed off, he slips up behind PB and delivers a resounding swat to her bottom while she blinks Topaz’s spritz water out of her eyes.

“Sorry babe, couldn’t find my pillow!”

Taking advantage of PB’s moment of distraction (with VB and Topaz, who wouldn’t be distracted…)

\<twacks PB from behind with my big squichy pillows \>

\<turns to look for somewhere safe to keep the chocolate before the feathers sart to fly\>

:: Looks into room, shakes head and slowly backs out::

No way do I want any part of this. Certian body parts still sting from naked pillow fight/ pepper sauce/cinnomon fight.

::turns and flees::

Oh no you don’t, Lioness!

“HEY EVERYONE! LIONESS IS HERE!”

VB ducks as a plethora of plump pillows pummels our puissant pussycat!

</div>

VB steps into the ambush planned by red\_dragon. He is assailed not once, not twice, but three times by pillows. Shaking off the grogginess and the feeling of too much tea imbibed last night. “wow, that was a nice party. we are going to have one tonight, right?” Being the only guy in the room at this point that is conscious, he savors the moment.

</div>

VB shakes off the groggies, and looking around sees _two_ Falcons! “GAHHHHH!”

“OH! Phew! Double-vision!”  
He’s not sure he could handle so much red-headed bustiness, but just to make sure, he aims his pillow between the two of-em:

“Stee-rike! Gotcha! Bwahahahhahaha!”
