Dylan groans, reclining back on the couch, "Would it be bad if I went to bed now? I know it's only eight, but there is nothing to do. Sunday's are the most boring days."

Thomas glances over at Dylan before answering, "Mate, it wouldn't be bad if you went to bed now, but it would be sad."

Thomas had been hanging out with Dylan and Artie all afternoon. They'd already had dinner, and now that the sun was set, they seemed to be running out of ideas. Honestly, just going to sleep now didn't sound too terrible to Thomas either, but he wasn't going to do it. He was in his final year of high school! He shouldn't be going to bed at eight. He should be living a wild life.

Thomas continues, "I kind of want food, but I recognize that I only want food because I'm bored. I'm not hungry at all."

Artie chuckles, "You both sound like very sad, boring women."

Dylan says in his sassiest voice, "I take offense on behalf of women everywhere, you tiny, tiny man."

Thomas yawns, rubbing his face before asking, "Seriously, we need to do something before I go mad. What do you think the girls are doing tonight?"

Dylan hums, "Yesterday I heard Yua say something about Dungeons and Dragons."

Artie sits up immediately, "That's right! The girls are playing their nerdy, role-playing game tonight!"

"Hey, role-playing is a serious endeavor," Thomas scowls at Artie jokingly.

"When you're a paid actor, role-playing is serious. The girls are a completely different story." Artie continues, "If we need a little entertainment, let's go watch the girls play D&D."

Dylan gives Artie an uncertain look, questioning, "Don't they play in the girls' dorm rooms?"

"Yeah. So?"

"We aren't allowed in the girls' dorms."

Artie smirks, patting Dylan's shoulder, "Dylan, you're so innocent. It's time you were corrupted. Don't worry about going into the girls' dorms. If we're quiet enough, none of the teachers will find out. If we are caught - my theory is it's better to ask forgiveness than permission."

Artie starts out of the room, calling over his shoulder, "Are you guys coming, or not?"

Thomas shrugs at Dylan, but stands and starts to follow after Artie. Dylan follows him hesitantly.

It was as easy as Artie promised it would be. They walked into the girls' dorms without anyone questioning them. Artie confidently marches up to Fleur and Erica's room and knocks on the door. There's a lot of noise coming from the other side of the door, but it quiets when Artie knocks.

Fleur's voice calls out, "Who is it?"

"It's us!" Artie responds through the door.

There's a shuffle and seconds later, the door is thrown open by Erica. Her hands are on her hips and she looks at the three of them suspiciously. Behind her, the girls are all sprawled out on the floor, wearing their pajamas. In the middle of the bedroom floor, there's a printed map and several plastic figures placed on it. Fleur is wearing basketball shorts and a t-shirt, her blonde hair thrown over one shoulder. Thomas knows it's cheesy, but he can't help but think about how cute she looks right now.

Erica's eyes skim over the boys each individually. "What are you all doing here?"

"We were bored," Dylan answers quickly, looking a little intimidated by Erica's calculating stare. "We just want to watch you all play Dungeons and Dragons."
