Chapter 68 - Chapter 69: Slumber Party! The Night Before The Gauntlet! Pt 2

"WHAAATTT That's insane! You're exam was mega hard!" 6 said.

"Haha I'm surprised you're up and talking." B said.

"It's only been one day after all!" Lars laughed

"Well Its getting late. " Reggie said pointing outside. It was dark. The group had been fooling around for hours now.

"We have to be at the SPA Combat Arena at 6 am tomorrow we should all get some rest." Reggie said turning of the lights.

"Buuut first a ghost story!" He said jumping onto his bed.

The group of Shifters got into their beds and awaiting Reggie's instruction. Turning on a flashlight in his mechanical finger Reggie illuminated his face as he began to tell the story.

"Once upon a time there was a boyfriend and a girlfriend. They loved each other dearly." He began

"The boyfriend would always say I love you before he got off the phone as well as his girlfriend. It was a sweet way to wish each other goodbye." Reggie said in a sinister tone.

"This already too scary!" 619 said

"Yeh Reg… this isn't funny man." Lance said petrified

"Boys are stuuuupid" Lily said to B

"Ooooone day the boy went on a vacation to a tropical island. He got a call from his girlfriend and they started talking. When their conversation ended, his girlfriend as usual said "I love you". Just as he was about to say "I love you too"… A wave crashed into his phone destroying it! With no phone on the island for 3 weeks he did not call back his girlfriend because he did not know her number." Reggie said in a ghostly tone.

"And then what happened?" Lily asked confused by how anyone found the story scary.

"After his vacation was over…. He went into his girlfriend's house and went inside. And after that night….. HE was NEVER...everrr.. EVERRRRR seen again…." Reggie said laughing.

"HAHAHAHAHHAH" the boys laughed.

"I don't get it..." Lily and B grumbled.

"Wait I have a story that is actually scary Lars said.

"Well let's hear it!" Reggie said

"I had a dream… or at least I thought it was a dream... of a woman coming to atlantica and burning it tot he ground.... I have it multiple times a month... its really scary."

Axel paused taking a look around the room. His friends all looked back at him like he had told the scariest ghost story of all time. They had the look that said if he even uttered one more word they were going break down, after recalling their last tragic experience.

"Guys… I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

"It's ok Ax… That's the past. We all have moved forward since your last... premonition." B said.

"Speak for yourself." Lance said turning in his bed.

"Woah everybody just loosen up! You gotta admit that's pretty insane… Axel are you saying these dreams are... real?? " Lily remarked

"Yes! What did you think I was doing all those times I was sleeping in class" Lars said

"Well as much as I'd like to pick your brain, we've got a big day tomorrow…" Lily said

" Yeh Its best if we all got some rest," B said.

"Yeh…. your right...Goodnight everyone." Lars said curling up in his bed.

"Goodnight."

Reggie turned off the flashlight from his hand.

BLSLFLLSFLSFLSL!

Just moments after the Reggie had turned off the lights, everyone in the crowded bedroom began coughing as they choked on the vapors of a horribly pungent smell. Quickly turning the light back on, Reggie scanned the room for the culprit as he held his shirt collar over his nose, a preventative measure against the foul odor.

"HAHAHAHA, alright, now who let that bird loose?" Reggie said laughing.

"Axelll… did you eat too many chocolate chip cookies?" Lily laughed.

"Heh… I just spent the whole day in the hospital I'm exhausted" Lars squeaked out "If I let one go now it would be nothing but a whisper in the wind."

"Well if we are talking about breaking wind here… How do we know it wasn't Lance?" Reggie scoffed.

"Hmph… I'm the master of wind…. I can control an entire storm. You really think I can't control passing some gas?" Lance scoffed

"Well, maybe you're the master of breaking wind then!" Reggie scoffed.

"HAHAHAHA" Everyone laughed.

"Tsk, I'm out of here." Lance said getting up and leaving the room.

"I don't think it was him," 6 said. "Think about it… He's so particular about what he eats he wouldn't have experienced a gas like that… No, I suspect the person behind this was a chocolate chip cookie eater…" He said, giving a tantalizing gaze of guilt towards Lily.

"Why are you looking at me? Girls don't fart!" she said blushing "Right B"

"Yeh! If you ask me you smelt it you did it! I say Reggeis behind this one!" She said pointing a finger

"Whattttt? ME? Yeh right! I'd say you'd need some strong glutes to pull that one off" He said scratching his chin "I say it's you thunder thighs!" Reggie said laughing.

B stood up with her pillow in her hand standing on top of Lily's top bunk.

"I dare you to call me that one more time" She said gripping her pillow.

"Thunder…"

WHAM!

Reggie was hit with a thunderous smack to the face by B's pillow spreading a shrapnel of feathers and cotton all across the room as his head smacked into the back of his bed.

"Why you... " He said grabbing a pillow of his own.

Using his mechanical arm he sent it whirling towards Bs top bunk. Unfortunately his aim was a bit off, causing it to drift through the air to the lower bunk hitting Lily squarely in the face.

BLSLFLLSFLSFLSL!

Once again the air was filled with a foul odor.

"HAHAHAH It was you Lily" Lars said laughing through the thick smog of flatulence.

Smack!

Lily had delivered a strong curveball nailing Axel in the face.

After receiving the blow, Axel bounced back with a pillow in hand ready to retaliate. As he came to his feet he felt a change in the atmosphere. The lush playground of laughter was now a battleground, with each one of the teenagers heavily armed with rounds of ammunition.

B was holding a pillow in each arm while Lilly had wrapped up her sheets into a mass of armor. 6 unsure of what to do stood on the sidelines completely unaware of the battle about to unfold, while Reggie stood at the top bunk of his bead wearing the face of a commander ready to lead his men into the battle.

"Wait!" 6 said trying to clear the tension "Let's all just calm down we have the gauntlet tomorrow after al-"

WHAM!

6 drifted through the air landing on the bottom bunk of Axel's bed, stifled by a pillow.

"WHAT! I had nothing to do with this? Why did you throw one at me?" He asked

"Stop trying to mediate so humbly… Its pissing me off!" B yelled shaking her head

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH-" 6 began.

" PILLOWW FIGGHT!" REGGEI SCREAMED

Without further warning, a huge torrent of pillows were being thrown in any and each direction, turning the room into a fiery maelstrom. B stood over Reggie, double fisted with pillows slapping the living daylights out of him while Lars and Lily stood at the center of the room, eyeing each other down in a standoff.

"This room ain't big enough for the both of us…" Lily said cracking her neck.

"What?" Axel said confused "There's like 4 of us in here already-"

WHAM!

Axel was smacked down by Lily sliding across the floor from the blast.

"Take that you uncultured swine!" She lectured

ERRRRRererrrr

All of a sudden the group came to a halt as Lance creaked opened the door. Taking a feather out of his hair he looked around the group of savages incredulously looking for a rhyme or reason for their tenacious glares.

"What are you all staring at me for?" He said looking around at the ferocious attackers.

Instantaneously, the group of teens unloaded all 20 pillows onto Lance trapping him in a pillow grave in the center of the doorway.

"HAHAHAHHA man I've wanted to do that for so long!" said B.

"Haha yeah me too" Reggie said hi-fiving her.

All of a sudden the pillows began to levitate and float around the room as Lance came to his feet. It was like a tornado was spinning around him carrying the pillows around in a circle.

"Lance..." Axel begged in a soft voice "Have mercy…"

"HAHAHAHAH, Now I'm going to show you the true reason they call me the master of wind!

"MUAHHAHAHAHA" He laughed as he soared above them in his cloud of pillows and blankets

Lances attack was overwhelmingly catastrophic. He slapped smacked, and clapped, his enemies with a floating barrage of pillows that they had no hope of repossessing against him. As the group was bombarded by an endless array of flying pillows they all covered themselves in their sheets, hiding in their beds like a monster was coming out of their closet.

After a few minutes of enjoying himself Lance turned off the light and got into his bed, closing his eyes to the groans of pain echoed from the unfortunate receivers of his attack .

"Man that's all you guys need to shut up? A pillow fight? Hahaha we should do this more often!" He said smiling menacingly.

"No Lance… you're not invited to a pillow fight… ever again!" Lars said groaning in pain as his butt stung from the attack. Had Lance targeted his rear on purpose?
