Excuse the chapter title, I thought it was hilarious. Rei isn't flaming either but I like plays on expression ;; begs forgiveness Ugh, I have a touch of the writers block. I'm trying to slam it out of my head. Maybe the smut for next chapter will inspire me.

The walk down the secure hallway was an interesting one, various bladers out of their rooms carrying about snacks from the cafeteria or talking in the hallway with others. Robert was at the ice machine in a white wife-beater tank and a purple pair of boxers with golden crowns scattered over them, his purple hair almost as wildly sleep-mussed as Tala's had been.

"Long night Robert?" Rei called to him, leaning on the doorframe of the ice room. Bleary red eyes swung in his direction and the German automatically straightened, trying to seem his usual noble self.

"You have no idea. Star Wars was on the television until late last night." He replied, brushing a few fluffy purple strands from his eyes.

"We watched that too. Most of us will be walking around like zombies today I guess then." The Tiger chuckled, reaching into the ice machine to pop one of the cold cubes into his mouth.

"Yes, but did one of your room mates have an advanced copy of the new DVD in their baggage? And another call down to guest services for copies of the other two prequels?" Rei's eye bugged out and his jaw dropped.

"You watched all 6 episodes in a night!" he squeaked and Robert merely nodded with a sigh.

"All six…plus the cartoon episodes that were on that were on a different channel while we waited for Episode I & II. I believe I got 45 minutes sleep all night." The noble sighed, blinking his tired eyes back into focus.

"Damn…drink lots of coffee if you want to make it through the day. You should be easy to beat at the tournament this afternoon at least." The nekojin chuckled and shook his head, ducking when the other tossed a few ice cubes at him.

"We'll see Kon, we'll see." Robert smirked as Rei gave him a wave and headed off down the hallway again, giving smiles to those he past.

"He's in a better mood than yesterday…" Raul mumbled to Aaron as the pair hovered around the door of the BEGA/F-Dynasty room, waiting for Mystel to hurry up for breakfast. The dark skinned teen nodded and both boys watched as Rei knocked on the door of the girls' room and was dragged inside.

"Ohmygod Rei! There's a moth and Mariah won't kill it and she's just laughing at it and omg SAVE US!" Hilary screeched hiding behind the male blader she'd pulled into the room. Blinking at the chaos the girls' room was in, Rei looked around for the insect that had them all up in arms. On one bed there were a pair of bumps under the blankets which he assumed to be two of the girls, the other bed had just one and a laughing hysterically Mariah on top of it. The last bed was empty and had a moth crawling along one of the pillows.

"It's on my pillooooooooooow." Hilary cried, balling her fists into the back of Rei's shirt. Sighing, the Tiger walked away from her to cup the little creature in his hands.

"Mariah, open the window." He instructed, carrying his prize towards her and the wall wide pane of glass that over looked the highway. The pink haired ball of laughter managed to do what she was told, wiping fingers beneath her eyes to collect the tears of laughter.

"Oh gods, you'd think they'd never seen a bug before." She chortled as she watched the moulted patterned creature fly away into the morning sunlight. Rei snickered beside her and closed the window over again.

"They probably haven't 'Riah. At least not had one crawling on their beds." He replied, looking back to the rest of the girls who were slowly emerging from their hiding spots. Hilary was tossing her pillow outside of the room door, having it collide with someone's head before she quickly pulled the door closed again. Julia and Ming-Ming pulled the covers off their heads and looked around with still panicked eyes as Emily emerged from the bathroom, looking around cautiously. Bouncing back to her bed, Mariah crawled beneath the blankets and a squeal could be heard from underneath.

"Come on Fairy-girl! You're fellow winged companion is gone." The pink haired girl's voice was heard over the squeals and giggles that must have been coming from Mathilda.

"Are you sure? You're sleeping on the floor tonight if it isn't." the tiny girl's voice sounded a little shaken behind the laughter as she slowly sat up, pealing the blanket from her messy pink hair.

"Yup! Only a sexy Chinese tiger to take its place." Mariah teased, stretching and sprawling out on their shared bed.

"I thought your bit beast was a lynx…." Rei blushed a bit at his friend's description then did a double take at her bed-mate's reply. Now wasn't that interesting…

"It is silly. But Rei's here." The Lynx replied with a grin at the blush on the fairy's cheeks when she spotted the lone male in the room. Julia and Emily were cracking up on their own beds now at all the blushing going on in the window area of the room while Ming-Ming had disappeared into the bathroom and Hilary called guest services for a new pillow.

"Good morning Rei. What are you here for anyway?" Emily managed past her laugher, tossing her orange hair over her shoulder.

"Well besides saving you all from bugs, I need my hair wrapped." The Tiger replied, tossing his long white hair-wrap to Mariah who was already in her overnight bag looking for her brush and comb.

"I didn't think you'd visit us for fun when you have that room of hotties to yourself." Julia smirked, watching for a reaction much the way Kai had earlier. Those two shared more traits than just having dual coloured hair.

"Hotties that are mostly taken or straight." Rei replied without missing a beat, sitting on the edge of the pink-sharing bed. Mariah got to work immediately, her fingers brushing deftly through the long black mane expertly. She'd been taming these strands along with the wild tresses of her older brother for as long as she could remember and she hardly had to think about it anymore. Hair the length of Rei's would normally scare anyone off is asked to style it but to the younger Chou sibling, it was nothing. After barely ten minutes, she had it braided and wrapped, tossing the long tail with the black tuft at the end over its owner's shoulder.

"All done." She stated, interrupting the conversation that Emily and Rei were in the middle of about randy team captains. Blinking liquid gold eyes at his finished tail, the Tiger tossed a grin over his shoulder.

"Thanks Mariah. No one does it better." He said as he stood up. "I'm going to go grab breakfast now. Any of you want anything?" he glanced around the room and wished he hadn't asked with the hungry looks the girls were giving him. He soon had a long list in his hand and was pushed out of the room with a 'And hurry!' called after him. Coming back into the room, Ming-Ming giggled as she sat on her bed with a brush going through her wet hair.

"Does anyone think Kevin was right or just playing with us?" the aqua haired girl asked, looking around her room-mates.

"I think he's full of it personally. He was just exaggerating." Mariah sniffed, sticking her nose in the air and flicking her hair.

"I don't know Mariah…he didn't really comment one way or another." Julia pointed out, pursing her lips.

"He definitely didn't confirm though so for now, Kevin is still full of it." Emily interjected and that seemed to please the majority of the group who all nodded firmly. That didn't mean that their investigation was off however.
