were. :( We were naughty children.

"Hey," said Faramir "Let's play 'Suck and Blow'." Faramir went over to a drawer on the nightstand, and pulled out a small piece of note paper.

Everyone gathered in a circle, and Faramir started it off, passing it to Eowyn, who passed it to Arwen, who passed it to Rosie, and so forth.

For those of you who do not know of this game, I shall exlpain. One puts a piece of paper over their mouth and sucks to hold it there, then turning to the person next to them, they blow it to the other person, who in turn sucks it, to pass it onto the next person. If the paper is dropped, you have to start over. Simple enough, right? Wrong.

It had reached Aragorn, who was going to pass it to Estella, but Estella wasn't paying attention, and Aragorn ran out of breath, and it fell.

"I'm SO sorry!" said Estella. "Let me try agian, I'll pay attention, I promise." So they started over, and as soon as it got to Aragorn, Estella wasn't paying attention, and once more she apologized and they had to start over. This time, when it got to Aragorn, Estella went to get it from him, and his air ran out, and they ended up kissing for a split second.

"EW!" they both cried, and wiped the back of their mouths with their hands.

Just then, a burning smell overtook them.

"My popcorn!" yelled Estella, who jumped up, and retrieved a bag of popcorn, which when she opened it issued smoke.

"Ew." said Estella, showing everyone the charred popcorn.

"How did you burn the popcorn, Estella?" asked Arwen. "There was friggin 'popcorn' setting!"

"I don't know!" cried Estella.

"You can always make another pack." said Lothiriel soothingly.

"No, I don't want popcorn anymore. And I'm bored of this game, let's play another one!"

"Okay." said Aragorn. "What about Quarters?"

Everyone agreed. Eowyn went to get a cup, Faramir grabbed the cooler, and Diamond coughed up a quarter.

"Um, guys?" Eowyn said. "We're out of cups."

"No prob." said Arwen, picking up the phone reciever, and hitting '0'. "Hey, Stevie! We need some cups, baby." Arwen listened for a minute. "Allrighty, then! We'll be right down!" Arwen hung up. "Stevie says we can go down and pick some up at the front desk. He says the desk closes at 12:00, what time is it now?"

"11:55." answered Aragorn.

"Let's go!" said Rosie, and with that, all eight of them ran down the hall and up the stairs. They must have looked a fright to poor Steve. What, with Arwen in her camouflage shirt that said "You can't see me!" paired with her hot pink pajama pants sporting penguins, to Eowyn's "I got my Crabs at Tim's Crab Shack!" with her cartoon pajama pants, Rosie's pint nightgown, Estella's gray athletic pants, and her "Stew Crew" t-shirt, Lothiriel's matching blue tank and pajama shorts, Diamond's purple tank top, and mint green pajama pants, and of course, the boys running around in boxers and undershirts. All of them barefoot.

"We here for the cups." said Arwen. "Where's Steve?" she asked, as the desk lady handed Arwen some cups.

"He went home." she replied.

"Will he be here tomorrow?" Arwen asked.

"No, it's his day off."

"Oh." said Arwen, crestfallen. They all walked back to the room.

"Now," said Aragorn. "The rules are these, you pick a partner, someone goes first, bounces the quarter, if it lands in the drink, your partner drinks. If it doesn't, you drink it." and with that, he opened an ice cold Mountain Dew, and poured it in the cup. "Who's first?"

They decided to draw for partners, and they ended up like this. Faramir vs. Eowyn, Arwen vs. Diamond, Aragorn vs. Estella, Lothiriel vs. Rosie.

Faramir and Eowyn were up first. Faramir bounced the quarter in. Eowyn lifted the glass and chugged it. "Holy Shtt that's cold!" she gasped.

Just then, the mothers walked in.

"What are you doing!"
