To Gwen's dismay, as soon as she was halfway done with her food, Kevin seemed to just stomp right into the room.

Not that he couldn't, it was his room after all, but he could have at least had some mannors and knocked to see if she was decent.
Then again...he was Kevin.

She didn't look up at him again after confirming it was him. Gwen went right back to her food. Kevin just kicked off his shoes and dropped onto his bed, pulling a pillow over his head and groaning with a snort of disgust.

'What's your problem?' Gwen thought. She took a sip of her drink and then stared at her food. A few moments of silence passed before she put the tray back on the table.

She rolled over, facing the wall and letting out a soft sigh, resting her head on a pillow.
This was nice, quiet, no one to bug-

"OWW!" she squeaked as a sharp pinch rendered to her back thigh, she rolled over quickly, only to see Kevin hadn't moved an inch.

But there WAS a rubber band by her legs.

She glared and put it on her fingers, streching it, "Hey Kevin."

The goth boy lifted his head from under the pillow and Gwen let the rubber band fly, "Duck."

Kevin lifted the pillow with the same unamused expression, then sighed. "What got you into a playful mood?" he asked, running his tounge over his lip ring.

She stared at him, mouth open slightly. "You shot the rubber band at me first!" she said, stabbing the air accusingly with her finger. Kevin looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"No, I do be leave YOU did Gwenafer, you woke me up and then threw this at me." he sat up, holding onto the band with two fingers. "Now why is that?"

"It's Gwendolen!" she barked back. "And I didn't start this, you did. Your the only other person in the room." she crossed her arms and sat indian style on the cot.

"Why would I throw this at you?" he asked in a tired, baffled look. Gwen opened her mouth, then after a few minutes shut it.

"My point exactly, you started it." Kevin streched the rubber across his figers and fired it at Gwen. She grabbed a pillow, blocked it and glared.

"JERK!" she shouted from behind the pillow. "You did it first, just to annoy me." she said standing up. Kevin only rolled his eyes and laid back on the bed. Gwen clenched her fists.

'Never be quick to anger, never be quick to anger, never be-'

"I'd really like it if you'd sit your ass back down, your greasy hair is glaring off the lights into my eyes." Kevin said from beneth a sheet.

"UGH!" Gwen ran at him with her pillow and Kevin sat up quickly, getting smacked across the shoulder. "Egocentric, apathetic, jack-ass!" Gwen stated as she hit Kevin with the pillow again, only a lot harder this time.

"Bitch, you are not starting a pillow fight." Kevin said as he grabbed one of his own black pillows.

Gwen's only respons was a quick slap across the back of the head with her pillow. "Fine, you asked for it." Kevin said with a cocky smirk.
And the war began.

Down the hall, in a different room, Gorg sat with her tail curled around her stomach on the bed, a book in one hand and a cup of cream coffee in the other.

The room was very simple, dark walls and red bedings. Hinu was laying beside her, arms behind his head as he looked at the ceiling. He stared with glazed over eyes, until Gorg pinched him.

"What was that for?" he asked her in a sharp tone. Gorg set her cup down and marked her book. "For being an ass." she stood on her tail and slithered over to a dresser.

"But I didn't do anything!" he whinned. Gorg turned at him and smiled, giggling. "I know." she laughed happily and tossed him a different shirt. A blue wife beater.

"I'll be glad when you have that kit." he said as she came back to the bed. He leaned over her buldging stomach and planted a rassberry kiss. Gorg giggled madly and blushed.
"Quit it." she squeaked out.

He smiled and rubbed her belly, then undid his ears from their ponytail and let one drop to her stomach.
"What are you doing now Hinu?" Gorg said softly as she played with strands of his hair.

"Listening." he said with a smile. Gorg rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Don't listen too long, momma's gotta get her baby to bed." she smiled.

"I still say boy." Hinu said as he lifted his head from her belly.
"And I still say girl, now turn off the light so I can sleep you silly goose." Gorg said as her tail slid back around her belly.

Hinu ruffled her hair and turned out the light, then leaning back as Gorg rested her head on his chest.
"Night you." she said simply.

Hinu smiled, then looked at the ceiling, his smile fading. "Night." he figured she had gone to sleep, so he closed his eyes.

"KEVIN PUT ME DOWN YOU CHEATER!" Gwen screamed as Kevin lifted her onto his shoulder and began to walk back to her cot. "It's not cheating when I'm tired." he grumbled. Gwen hit him on the back with her pillow.

"Put me down!" she barked.
"Fine." Kevin dropped her on her cot and turned around.
"Let me sleep you hyper active brat." Gwen hit him again while he was still in reach. Kevin turned on his heal and glared at her, grabbing her pillow from her.

"Hey! I was usi-umph!"

Kevin chucked the pillow back at her before crawling into bed.
"Your not supposed to hit girls." Gwen said as she pulled the pillow into her lap. Kevin rolled over and smirked.

"Girl, where?"
Gwen pointed at Kevin. "She just spoke."
Kevin rolled his eyes and gave Gwen the finger before rolling over.
"Go to sleep before I knock you out." he said in a yawn.

"How are you tired?" she asked plopping back onto her own bed for now.
"I didn't sleep the day away, sorry." he grumbled.

Gwen rolled her eyes and smirked. She was sure she'd tired Kevin out, hopefully enough to keep him out. She let a few minutes pass by before deciding it was safe; he had to be alseep by now.

She sat up gently, trying not to make any noise. She touched her socks to the ground and stood, looking quickly over at Kevin's bed.

He lay there on his back, pillow over his chest, hair in his face, drool coming out of the side of his mouth.

She shook her head and walked silently to the door which led to the hallway, or she assumed that’s where it led. Quickly she pushed the door open, not making a sound. Gwen shut it behind her and was engulfed in darkness.

At least in Kevin's room there was a warm glow. She shook her head and put her hand on the wall, begining to walk down the narrowing path.

The top of the hall seemed to expand oddly, and the floor was very slippery from wax. She slipped a few times in her socks, but held her footing.

Soon she came to another door, she hesitated, but pushed it open quietly. From the floor she could see a blue light eminating. She gazed at the light a few moments before slipping inside the room.

Along one wall was a huge tank with...no fish in it. The tank seemed to connect to the wall and went further along the room, so whatever this thing held could just be between the wall area.

Gwen took a step forward and saw a table with clear pill bottles, each with a different type of pill in them. She slowly turned back to the tank and gasped.

There was a girl there, but not anything like her, or even Gorg.

"More like a mermaid?" a soft female voice said. Gwen turned quickly to see Gorg in the doorway. The girl in the water blushed and hid behind long strands of seaweed. She had light blue skin and dark blue strands of hair to her waist.

Her tail hung out, splotched with green and yellow and she wore a green shirt covered by a netted top.

"Wha..." Gwen couldn't put together any more words.
"It's alright Unta, you can come out." she girl shook her head with a blush and giggled in the water. She swam away behind the wall quickly.

"Again, Wha?" Gwen asked.
Gorg could only smile and laugh.
"She's my baby sister." Gwen did a double take at Gorg's tail and the retreated form of Unta.

"I'll explain in the morning. I come here at night to feed her, she doesn't normally get company anymore. I'll go get her food." Gorg said, "Kevin's coming, by the way." she slithered out of the room.
"Wait!" Gwen huffed out and looked back at the tank.

Unta peeked out from behind the wall and smiled. "H-Hi." she said in an enormous blush. Gwen couldn't help but smile back at the timid childlike girl. "Hey."

The door opened and Kevin walked in yawning. "Hey fish bait." he said with a wave to the blue haired female.

Unta ducked back behind the seaweed, shivering almost, before retreating behind the wall again.
Out of sight.
"Gwen, what does 'Go To Bed.' mean?" he asked, crossing his arms.

"I want to go home." Gwen said crossing her arms in return. "Wrong, it means get your ass between the sheets, shut the hell up, and fall asleep." Kevin smirked. "You even know that, right Unta?" he asked the girl hidden behind the wall.
"G-go b-back to y-your room!" she whimpered out.

Kevin pushed Gwen toward the door gently.
"Get back in bed." he said. "And don’t worry, I’ll escort you to make sure you get there."

The mer-child peered out from behind the wall, with a whisper she called out. "See you Miss." she waved as Kevin pushed Gwen down the hall.

"Bed."

"But-"

"Yours should be in bed, now git!" he gave her another push.
