Cole spent the day lounging around the house. Lex had gone off to do his daily list of things to do, and so Cole was extremely bored the whole day. He tried swimming, didn't work. He tried a walk, it only made him miss Lex more. He even tried drowning his sorrows in a huge glass, made just for Cole might I add, of strawberry smoothie, didn't work either.

He laid up on the couch, clothes were long gone during the day and if anyone had a problem of him parading around in only his pink night pants, well they could bite his tush. He was in no mood to get dressed, and feeling "love" deprived. Wanting nothing more then to snuggle with someone, anyone!

"Ugh!" He tosses a pillow at the TV when a lovey dovey show comes on. He folds his arms over his bare chest and pouts. He misses his baby more then anything.

However as the day grew later and there was Dean coming through the door, Cole sat on the couch as Dean gave the majority of the brothers the low down of what was going on with Jade. Dean even looked over at Cole and wagged a finger at him. "Be good." But Dean was smiling the whole time.

Jade! Someone to snuggle! Cole listened quietly and when Dean was done telling everyone the news, telling Cole to also behave, and that Jade would be staying here at the main house, well Cole got up off that couch and rushes to get the living room ready for the slumber party.

"Bad man after Jade." He purses his lips and rushes around, into the closets and grabbing all of the extra pillows, blankets, sleeping bags, everything he could to make the whole living room comfy. He even stopped by the kitchen to ask Cookie if he could make a whole bunch of snacks for everyone, which of course Cook would never tell Cole no.

Cole was zipping around the house, past brothers, even knocking a few down in the process until finally the living room was ready. Blankets all over the floor, pillows, all different colors but he doesn't think anyone will mind. Cole even rushes by and grabs an unsuspecting Jamie and pulls him along. "Balloons and stuff!" He laughs and him and Jamie go about decorating the entire downstairs with anything and everything, from balloons to party hats.

It took a lot longer then Cole had meant to get everything ready, but he is satisfied with his and Jamie's handwork. That's when the door is thrown open and he hears Rhy call out that Jade is there.

"Jade!" Cole yells and rushes to the door, he had wanted to open the door first so Rhy got a bit of a pout from him, however he did lean over and give the preggo belly a kiss, then his arms open for Jade. "Hugs!" Nothing like a half naked boy to greet you at the door. He wouldn't be telling anyone that he is deprived of lovies and snuggles, let them find out on there own. If Cole had his way this slumber party would be something much, much more, a snuggle party.

Jamie had spent most of the day looking through the fashion magazines that littered his bed. Always in search of pictures of his favorite model: Sean. A squeal of delight when he found a new editorial spread. Clapping and gently setting the magazine aside, he quickly cut the pictures from the magazine and lovingly placed them into his scrapbook. Once the plastic cover was in place, he kisses the pictures and giggles. "Love you!"

Just then his door burst open and there was the whirlwind, and his best friend. Nobody can resist Cole when he was on a mission and Jamie leaped from the bed to follow and help out. "Balloons and streamers! Fun!" he giggles and quickly sets to helping Cole turn the living room into a party room.

"We rock!" he laughs at Cole and then sits in the corner to start making little balloon animals. Giraffes, weiner dogs, even hats were being made as the door was opened and the guest of honor arrived. Jamie didn't get up, he just sat in the corner, surrounded by a mountain of balloon animals.

"Hi!" he waves from the corner as Rhy makes all of the introductions. He doesn't know them, but they're bros and friends and such and that's good enough for him. "I'm Jamie!" he grins and holds out a pink balloon for Rhy and a lavender one for Jade. "Party time!"

The two blinked still for a moment as everything came ruuuuushing at them. Le twitch. Rrrrrrika instantly started bouncing around, huggling, snuggling, and pouncing different boys... and Rhy, yet again.

"Hellooooo! I'm Rrrrrrika! It's so nice to meet all of you! Rrrrika is happy that she is able to be at this slumber party! Many thanksss!"

As giggles streamed from the lil Nazdorian, she nodded to Rhy, "Rrrika understands." She beamed, "Rika is just glad that you like her now!" She gave a mild pawing to the air before the word 'cotton candy' was uttered. She zip-zapped to the table. Rika tilted her head to Jade in a 'Can I?' manner. The only thing Jade could do was smile and nod.

Honestly, Jade couldn't get enough of that lil chickie. So sweet and kind, totes gaba kawa. (Translation: Totally persistantly cute.)

Those jade hues moved to Rhy with another tug to the hem of Dean's shirt, "Yeaaaaa.... I should prolly change." There was a weak laugh to boot, "Um... can I change into anyone's stuff?"

Hands shot up like wild fire. Even Rika's little hand went up, but after quickly realizing that she in fact had nothing to change in her hand went down. There was a soft smile on her lips as she looked over the sea of hands. Rhy's was even up, though they both knew that there was no way in hell J's tush was going to fit in her stuff. It was like stuffing a elephant in mice's clothing. (Nevermind the fact that Elephants hate mice... and mice don't even wear clothing.) She looked over the faces and styles. Hmmm...

"Tristy isn't here is he?"

Dean looked around a moment and shook his head, "I don't think so..."

A inner 'Mua ha ha ha...' played in her head, "Where's his room?"
"Jadey!"
"Whhhhat? I'ma jus gunna get some clothes. I dun think the boys 'ould wan' meh ta wear this all night."

The boys looked left and right and shrugged. Though there were a few grins that was tsked off their faces by Dean. Rrrrrika giggled and tsked with him. A audible sigh resounded from Rhy who pointed up a flight of stairs and told her to go to a door on the left.

"I saw one of the Tristen kind surfacing from a door with a big 'Stay out' sign on it. I'm pretty sure it's his because I know he doesn't shhhhhwing that way."

There was a snicker and a nod from the Jadey, "Thank'a, sweetie." A smooch was offered to her cheek, "An' movies sound grrrrrrand."

With a bop and a huggle to Coley who was patiently waiting to snuggle with her (but was now snuggling with his lovely beau!), she went up the directed stairs.
Before she was out of hearing range, she heard Rika utter the words "What's a movie?" and a chorus of gasps. She was sure they were looking at her like she was from another planet, when in all actuality - she was in some form or another. You can't blame the poor beastie.

Jade edged down the hall, taking the directed left. She looked at all the different doors and suddenly knew how guys felt during pantie raids. Behind enemy lines. Those jade hues shifted about as she gave another tug to the shirt about her thin form, ready to give a swift kick to any boy that surfaced from their rooms unexpectedly. And with those boots she had on, she prayed not.

Flush against the wall all spy like, she finally found the imfamous (okay, not really) 'Stay out'd door. She stood before it, like she had finally been confronted her arch nemesis. Jade put a dainty hand on the doorknob and mumbled "Only going to get clothes..." to herself. With that, she flung the door open... and instantly regretted doing so. Stiletto's + mounds of clothing = down Jadey! Thankfully, any thud that would have been caused by the fall was muffled by the padding of said clothing.

She made a face as she laid there a moment, "How do men live like this? Barbarians." Jade sighed and picked herself up, swiftly kicking off her boots. She put them somewhere out of the way as she looked over her task at hand, "Hmmmm..." There was no way around it, to find clean clothes... she had to clean the room herself. She popped her knuckles and narrowed her eyes at the mother of all messes.

Thirty minutes and two hampers full of dirty clothes later, she placed a box full of gross stale week old pizza in the over flowing trash can. "Holy Mother of Ew." Jade sighed for the Nth time as she looked over to the shovel she had found and placed in a corner, "Seriously.... What the hell..." Then she looked to the nicely folded clean clothes. Now, onto picking what she was going to wear! She quickly nabbed a pair of silkly boxers she was eyeing the entire time she was cleaning and a black tank top. Jade shimmied out of Dean's make-shift dress cover and the thing that she was pretty sure she had thought was supposed to be a dress. Then she shimmied right into the change of clothes.

She put the folded clothes in the right (or at least she though so) drawers and such, ganked her boots and make-do clothes, and made her way out of the room. Though she had to stop at the trash can to throw away a clothes pin she had clamped on her poor lil sensitive vampiric nose. The room was way too much man for her. Things in hand, she shut the door behind her - frowning. It was probably the only time she'd be that close to Tristy and he wasn't even there! Hmpft! But it was probably for the best since he was anti-Jade, though he had good reason and good intentions. She wiggled her nose, poofing the boots and thing of a dress home. She blinked at what she did and groaned, "Why didn't I jus do that?! Wasted meh time!"

More groaning as went down the hall and back down the stairs. Relief washed over everyone's faces. She blinked at everyone as she offered Dean his shirt back, "Eh?"

"Thank Jeebs! We thought you had gotten lost... or worse, buried alive!"
"She's not alive, you derf."
"Oh... But we shoulda warned you that it was that bad!"
"What took ya so long anyway? You were in there for like... over a half an hour."

A sheepish look took over her features, "Heh... I... cleaned it."
"You cleaned it?!"
"Yeaaa... Heh."
"Oi! He never cleans it! It's like... the worst!"
"No kiddin'. But... Dun tell on meh. I dun wan' 'im ta know I was in there."
"Sure... but how are we gunna explain the whole 'clean thing' and you wearing his clothes."
"Fer one, tell 'im that a maid barged in there while 'e was gone. An' fer two, tell 'im that one o' you went in there an' got some clothes."
"He'd kill one of us if we told him we got you clothes."
"I think it'd be better then tellin' 'im you guys let meh in there."

There were nods. Jade thought of everything! Well... okay, no... but she'd like to think so. She looked over everyone and beamed, "So how 'bout them movies? An' where's meh cotton candy an' snuggles!?!!"

Rika pounced her onto the covers and sleeping bag covered floor, cotton candy in hand (and not to mention all over her face), "Rrrrrika has cotton candy for Miss Jade!"

Ashton had kept to his room. He didn't want to let anyone know that he had gotten the blasted bunny head stuck! There he was, walked around his room a few times, yanked at the bunny head to get it off and nothing. He growled under it and even got to the point of laying on the floor and yanking as hard as he could.

"Come off!" He screamed and even banged his head a few good times against the floor. This a lesson for having a good time?!! He knew this must be punishment for scaring the cocoa puffs out of the little kidlets the other day. How was he suppose to know that one of the kids was deathly afraid of rabbits. And this was not just any rabbit, this was a six foot two, monster bunny from hell itself, so the kid screamed as he ran away.

"Off!" Muffled explicits came from the bunny head as he finally picked his naked butt up off the floor, forget to mention he is only in his boxers again?
"I'mma sorry for freaking out the kidlets, now get off my head!" He yanked harder on the bunny head till it felt like he was going to pull off his own head. He growled again and then heard something, party downstairs?!

Ashton sucked in his pride, and a breath as he opened the door and walked out. "Cha, keep laughing buddy." He waved dismissively at one of the bros laughing his butt of at him. He moved down the stairs and passed a girl that seemed to be going into Tristan's room. "Oh, trouble..." He wiggled a few fingers at her in greeting then hopped down the stairs and glanced around at everyone.

"It's stuck!" He whined from under the bunny head and flopped down in the middle of the little cove of blankets and pillows, of the living room. "I give up." He grumbled and sprawled out. He looked over at Rhyannon and Dean on the couch and gave them a wave, then he looked over at a bouncing cat girl? "S'up?"

Cole, Lex, Gage and all the rest got waves from him as he laid there in the middle of the living room. "If anyone wants to give me a hand, I would be their best friend forever and ever." The snuggle comment was noticed by Ashton from Jade. "Snuggle bunny?" Never mind the once again half naked dude in the scary bunny head, he seemed to have a habit of meeting women this way.

Jade laid there a moment, crimson lips smiling softly up to the Rika-Bomb on her. A hand went up to nab a piece of the fluffy stuff, promptly putting it into her mouth. Smack Smack. "Mmmmm... Strawberry cotton candy...." And the unsticky hand went up to ruffle Rika's pink locks of hair.

"Rrrika is glad..." attention stolen by giant bunny man! Those too big crimson orbs grew two times bigger as what they already were, "BUNNY MAN!!!" There was a big yelp as Rika clammered to hold Jade. Yea... Rika liked lil fluffy bunnies fine. Who doesn't? But GIANT half nudie bunny men? Noooo way, sir-re. Lil kitty ears flattened against her head as she shivered against Jade.

The whole general WTF? face creeped onto her features as she held the lil Nazdorian. She started to sit up as the bunny man plopped down on the sleeping bag covered floor. Jade looked Mister Bunny Man over, down to those dern boxers. Shhhhwing! Her black brows rose up up and away. She shook her head to Rika, "Nae worry, sweetie. Jus one o' the boys..." thinking back to the thudding noises she heard while in Tristy's room, she looked him over. It looked like he had been beating himself up to get the bunny head off! "With 'is 'ead stuck in the bunny head."

"Reaaally?!! He won't try ta eeeeeeeat me in my sleeeeeep?!!" Rika's gaze snapped from the Bunny Man to Jade and back several times, wide eyes serious and full of fright.

"Nae nae. Dun worry 'bout it. He's harmless," she looked over the bunny boy as he mentioned 'snuggle bunny'. She snickered, "See, he even wants to snuggle! Wanna snuggle?"

"Nuh uh!" She shook her head like a five year old, "You first!" Her grip on Jade faultered and slowly slipped to nothing at all. Her eyes were wiiiide still, pushing Jade towards the Bunny Man.

"Okay okay," a swat at the pushing. She crawled on all the covers, fluffy pillows, and sleeping bags towards the Bunny Man. Though she paused as one of the boys took a try at getting the bunny head off. She took that moment to wave at Gage. She even waved at the boy doing the tugged. She had yet to meet that one! GASP!

And Rika did just that as Jade got close to the half bunny ... half man, "Miss Jade! Be careful!"

She waved off the thought in the air and the unknown boy walked off. She started crawling again. Soon she was leaning over bunny boy, turning the plush head this way and that. She peeeeeered into the eye holes, " 'Ey, Mister Snuggle Bunny Boy," Her black brows rose once more, "Need help?" Jade tapped her imfamous magic wiggling nose.

"Ye best love meh," she snickered, "Everyone does." Jade kept looking at the bunny head, turning it every so often. "Ch-yea, I'll get the thang off. Dun think ya like it too much."

Her jade hues narrowed at it and wiggled her nose. Poof! A green cloud of smoke... but alas! Nothing! "Whhhha?! Ya got some voodeedoo crap on this 'r somethin'?! Aaaagh!" She groaned and narrowed her eyes again, "So... Ashton ya say? The name's Jade. Or Jadey. Or even J. Whateva, ya wan'. Prrrrrrolly even a common name in 'ere." She paused, thinking... " 'Ey, ya wouldn't o' happened ta had worn a tutu ta the inn, have ya?" Blink. Snicker, "Tiz a pleasure, babes, at any rate."

Then she looked to the task at hand. This'd be a toughy. She sat up to stroke her chin, "Hmm..." Idea! Even a index finger went up as the idea formed. When something couldn't be poofed out easily... replace it with something that could easily be removed! Ding! That cause a grin to wash over her. Another wiggle of her lil nose and poof! said bunny head was now a cute little clasp on pink polka dotted bow tie about his neck. Double fist pump in the air! "Boosha! Jade - one, bunny head - zeeeero! I win!" Though as she went shifty eyed and noticed everyone staring at her, she quickly put her arms down and stared laughing nervously down to Ashton.

"Heh... It's off," Jade gave a ruffle to his sweat mopped hair, caused by the heat inside the plush bunny head. She took a moment to look over his face now that the bunny thing was gone, "Mmmhm. Yer the tutu boy." Yep, a snort followed as she reached down to unclasp the bow tie. "An' eh, dun worry too much 'bout lil Rrrika. She'll be fine as soon as she sees that there was in fact a real boy under the bunny."

She sat back once more and leeeeeaned as she looked over her shoulder to Rika, so the lil one could see Ashton's face, "See, Sweetie. Jus' one o' the boys." She held up the bow tie for proof.

Blink Blink. Rika couldn't believe it! She thought for sure Jade would be toast! Butter and everything! She leaned forward, towards the two... peering at Ashton. She nodded to herself and giggled, "Mmmhm! Rika thinks he's cute!" The crazy bunny man situation over with, her attention diverted else where. She canted her head, plopping more of the fluffy cotton candy into her mouth, "Rrrika wants to see a 'mooooooovie'!"

"Heh," She nudged Ashton, "She even thinks yer cute." Nevermind the fact that Rika loved.... everybody. "Told ja she'd be fine. Sooo...," her arms outstretched, "Ya say ya were offerin' snuggles?" Bow tie was swiftly tossed over one shoulder.

It wasn't long after Jade went through the gates and was logged as a visitor that it was time to change guards. Happily Matt handed over the clip board, walkie talkie, and remotes to the cameras over to the capable hands of Scott and Doug. "Call me if you need anything." He says quietly before heading out of the guard shack.

Walking back towards the house, he looked up at the sky. The inky blackness only broken by a few stars. The large round moon shone down on his face and highlighted his features. Putting his hands into his pocket, he strolled along the pathway to the house. To anybody who was watching, it'd seem like Matt was in his own little world, not paying attention to anything. Nothing could be further from the truth.

He could hear the laughing drifting through the night air that came from the house. And as he grew nearer, the sounds got louder. Looking to his left, his sharp eyes and ears catch the sound of the camera turning to watch him and then zoom in. He laughs softly and waves to the guys in the guard shack. "Night fellas."

Once to the porch, he opens up the door and steps inside. He's careful not to step onto any sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, or couples that seemed to be snuggling and making out. "Nice party." he smiles.

Dark eyes scan the room and he makes note of each face. This is his family, and he's happy to see them all having a good time. That is, until he spots Gage. He had seen the nod earlier, so he makes his way over to his friend and brother. "Gage, what's going on?"

Ashton laid there as little miss magic did her thing. He had full confidence that she wouldn't make his head pop off along with the bunny head, which when he started to think about it, his eyes got a bit wide as she didn't seem to get it off the first try. He grabbed onto the covers and was ready for anything.

Anything but a little bow tie. He chuckled and then realized she was talking about when he had worn that blasted tutu in the Inn! He groaned inwardly and nodded. "Cha, that was me. It was a dare." He had to add, cause believe it or not he didn't go around wearing a hot pink tutu every night, no that was saved for Monday nights only.

"Nice to meet cha, Jade. Pretty name, can't say I met a Jade before you." He grinned and is very happy that the bunny head is off and he can get a breather. The kitty girl saying he was cute, he turned and smiled at her. "Well at least there is one pretty girl that does think so." He winked at her then turned back to Jade. Matt, Cole, Lex, all of them that had waved at him, or just came in got waved at by Ashton.

Ashton did laugh at Rhyannon when she fell over onto a bundle on the floor, which would probably turn out to be Lex and Cole. But his attention returned to Jade when she mentioned snuggling. He nodded and reached up, wrapped both his arms around her waist so she could be pulled in for a snuggle.

"Cha, snugglies." Smiled and snuggled her, even reached over to give Rhyannon's pretty pink hair a little tug.
