the battle

tw: mentions of guns and shooting

—

after their party on the beach, the crew decided to crash for the night on the poguelandia set instead of walking all the way back to their hotel.

the girls took the bedroom: carlacia, cami and madelaine sleeping on the bed while madelyn and madison slept in the floor.

the boys crashed in the living room, each one taking either the couch, a recliner or an air mattress.

the sun peers in through the window of the bedroom, waking madelaine up first. she yawns, sitting up in the middle of the bed.

"mads, go back to sleep." cami groans at the movement of the bed.

"it's eleven in the morning." madelaine says after grabbing her phone to check the time and her notifications.

"eleven?" madelyn asks, rolling over onto her stomach and propping herself up on her elbows. "i can't believe we slept so long."

"well, we did stay up pretty late." madison adds, her voice groggy from just waking up.

"i can't believe the boys won the fucking beer pong game." carlacia sighs, sitting up and leaning her head against the headboard.

"you're still upset about that?" cami chuckles, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"damn right," laci crosses her arms. "i've got to get them back somehow."

"i didn't realize you were so competitive." madelaine smiles at her.

"oh yeah. one time, i bit this girl's hand so she had to forfeit our table tennis match. she was getting stitches while i was receiving my crown." laci smiles proudly.

"scary, but admirable... remind me to never play you in table tennis." madelaine tells her.

"wait, i know exactly how we can get the boys back." madelyn says, pushing herself up onto her knees.

"what is it?" madison asks.

"a nerf battle." she smirks.

"ooh now we're talking." madelaine smiles mischievously.

"the nerf guns are still in the kitchen from the last time we played!" madelyn tells them.

"as long as the boys haven't woken up yet, we should be able to grab them and attack." cami says.

"i'm in." laci smiles widely and nods.

the five girls get up, quietly open the bedroom door and slowly creep down the hallway towards the kitchen. laci gives madelyn a thumbs up when she peers around the corner and sees that the boys were still asleep.

madelyn softly opens the cabinet where the nerf guns were, handing one to each girl and creeping over to the living room.

"start shooting on three, yeah?" laci whispers.

"wait," madelaine holds back a laugh as she quickly snaps a photo of the boys snoring. "okay, now i'm ready."

"one... two... three!" madelyn yells, causing the boys to wake up. they look startled and confused before the girls start pelting them with nerf bullets.

rudy falls out of his chair. chase hides under the blanket he was covered with. austin shields his face with his arms. jd hides behind drew, letting him take the fall.

"it's an ambush!" rudy yells, scrambling up on his feet in the midst of the yelling and bullets flying through the air.

"grab the guns!" chase points to the remaining nerf guns on the counter.
