We waved at them as they left. Now, it was just me, Tommy, Toby, Wilbur, and Rose.

"Could I just take a nap real quick? I'll wake up in an hour, I promise," I said, already drifting off to sleep.

"Don't let her," Rose warned. "It was always like this at sleepovers. She would say that she'd take a nap, but wouldn't wake up until the morning."

There was silence for a second. Someone took the blanket off of me.

"Wilbur, catch!" Tommy exclaimed, throwing the blanket to him.

I stood up and tried to get it. Wilbur passed it to Rose, who passed it back to Wilbur. Wilbur passed it to Tommy again. I tried to grab the blanket, but he held it above his head. He could do that all he wanted. I knew how to take him by surprise. Instead of jumping up to get it, I hugged him instead. I got exactly the reaction I wanted.

"Are you going to fall asleep on me again or something? Because I am not having that," he said, hugging me back.

I smiled mischievously, although nobody could see it. He still had the blanket in his hand. I quickly took it and jumped back onto my bed.

"Tommy, you idiot!" Wilbur exclaimed.

"What was I supposed to do?" he replied incredulously.

"Anything but that!"

"So I would just awkwardly stand there with my arms in the air?"

"Exactly," nodded Wilbur.

Before I could close my eyes again, I felt something hit me. Rose threw a pillow at me. I stood up again, picked up the pillow, and sighed.

"You shouldn't have done that," I warned.

Before she could react, I chucked the pillow at her, hitting her right in the face. I scrambled back onto my bed, grabbing my own pillow. I blocked her throw at me with the pillow I was holding. I glanced over at Tommy.

"Could you help me?" I asked.

"I guess so."

He stood beside me.

"You're outnumbered. I'm afraid you'll need to surrender," I told her.

"She's not outnumbered!" Wilbur said from behind me.

A pillow slammed into my head. I slowly turned around so I could see Wilbur. I made eye contact. It was a death stare. Wilbur noticed.

"That stare is making me nervous."

"It should be," I replied.

I hit him with my pillow. After that, everything was a flurry of pillows and laughter. We finally collapsed on the ground, cracking up.

"We should probably be quieter," Wilbur advised.

"Wait a second, where's Tubbo?" I asked.

We all looked around the room. He was curled up in a corner, somehow sleeping.

"I see how it is. I'm not allowed to take a nap but he's allowed to sleep through a pillow war," I grumbled.

"He was just so quiet that we forgot about him!" Tommy exclaimed.

"I know how to wake him up," Wilbur smiled.

"How?" Rose asked.

"Tubbo! Guess what! Bee!" he said.

Tubbo sat up. "Bee? Where?"

"It worked. I'm impressed," I nodded.

"Oh, so there's no bee?" he frowned.

"No, sorry," Will apologized.

"We should watch a scary movie. That will definitely keep you up," Tommy suggested.

"No. Absolutely not. I don't do scary movies," I said, crossing my arms.

"Aw. Why not?" he asked.

"Because it's scary!" I explained.

"Well yeah, obviously. But would you watch it with me?" he tried.

"No," I decided.

"Come on! Don't be a baby," he chided.

I frowned. "Yeah, and don't be mean."

"Please?" he asked.

"Fine. I guess so," I sighed.

"Yes!" he exclaimed

He got his phone and airpods out. He handed me one and we sat next to each other on my bed. We scrolled through movies until we found a good one. He started it and creepy music immediately started playing. I looked at him with wide eyes. He looked back and smiled. At one part, something jumped out and took me by surprise. I buried my face in his shoulder and he laughed, patting my head.

"That wasn't even scary!"

"It wasn't! It just surprised me!" I replied, looking back up.

The movie itself was actually kind of cheesy. The scary parts were the jump scares. No matter how predictable they were, I would jump or flinch and Tommy would laugh. After it was over, I checked the time which said 1:43.

"I'm actually going to sleep now," I announced.

"Fine. I'll stay here until Tubbo gets up," Tommy decided.

I layed down and closed my eyes. I fell asleep to Tommy running his fingers through my hair. I briefly remember him, Wilbur, and Tubbo going to his room.
