mfangeleeta - Bering and Wells watching the start of college football season. With maybe Pete. Or Steve.

The residents of Leena's were piled in Pete's room, a football game – the first college game of the season, which is a big deal according to Pete – is playing on the large screen of his TV.

Pete and Steve were sitting on the edge of the bed, both invested in the game, although not for the same team. Their cheering had already led to a few arguments and much amusement to the others.

Claudia was sitting on the floor, her laptop in front of her and her fingers typing away. Leena was on her knees behind her, watching the laptop over Claudia's shoulder. Neither was paying any attention to the game and was only in there because everyone was.

Myka was on the bed and leaning against the headboard. HG was leaning against Myka and more than slightly confused as she attempted to follow the game.

HG turned her head slightly so she could see Myka out of the corner of her eye.

"Darling, please remind me; why we are being forced to partake in this activity?" she whispered.

Myka looked away from the TV and smiled at her. "Because you lost that bet to Pete."

"How was I supposed to know he had increased the number of croissants he can fit in his mouth?"

Myka laughed lightly. "None of us did. I think he was practicing in secret just to win the bet."

Helena rolled her eyes. Pete suddenly let out a giant whoop and jumped to his feet, starting his victory dance.

HG and Myka turned back to the game to see that Pete's team had won.

"About bloody time," HG muttered. She rolled off of Myka, then the bed. She grabbed Myka's hand, and helped her up. "As much as I enjoyed this time watching grown men throw themselves at each other over an oddly shaped ball," she addressed the others, "I am afraid that there are a multitude of things I would rather be doing."

She pulled Myka from the room and barely caught Pete's comment to the others.

"Bet Mykes is on the top of that list."
