4th Floor Common Room, Saturday Early Evening

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

Why yes, yes Michelangelo had noticed the influx of children running about the dorms today.

And he was, in fact, prepared for them, too.

Armed with a pair of foamy nunchucks and his Cowabunga Carl head, there was a well-prepared turtle holed up in the fourth floor common room that evening, with an impressive spread of potato chips, sodas, and, of course, pizza.

Party time, dudes!

[It's a common room, dudes. Totally open!]

Rikku stared. And then applauded. "HI MR. TURTLE!" she yelled.

And then she was distracted by the snacks. Ooooh, snacks!

Because, obviously, what Rikku needed was sugar.

It was late, and everyone else at the slumber party had fallen asleep, or seemed like they had. Romeo was not tired at all.

Nope. (Ignore his yawns.)

Which was why he wandered down a floor and into the common room, eyes lighting up. "Pizza!"

Sugar was awesome. And Mikey totally had the energy in him on a good day to deal with a little girl who had sugar in her.

Or so he figured.

He waved back, happily as could be. It was just plain weird how much he missed playing the role of Cowabunga Carl while he wasn't working birthday parties. Honestly.

"Hi, little dudette!" D'awww, she was so cute.

[withoutverona]

Romeo grinned at the wee girl in the hat, waving his slice of pizza. "Hi hi hi Rikku!"

"Dude, you said the magic word!" Michelangelo Cowabunga Carl gave the little boy a thumbs-up and bounced over to help the kid serve himself a slice. And maybe to set one aside for himself for later. It was difficult to eat through the large foam mascot head, after all.

"Hiya, Mr. Turtle," Rikku said, waving back and shoving food into her face. And getting some of it in her mouth, even. "I gots a Keppel."

She held out the (now sticky and somewhat worse for wear) chocobo proudly.

The fourth floor common room was totally Reno's common room, and he smelled food. And food was important and stuff, and he had to get food where he could grab it because that's just how food was.

But there was a big scary green thing in his common room, and so he brandished his paper-towel-tube stun-baton dangerously as he crept through the doorway.

"If you come close to me, I'm gonna kick you in the butt," he announced.

This wasn't Andros' common room but he had wandered up to the fourth floor anyway and he stood in the door way, where he was watching what was going on.

[the_merriest]

"Hi hi hi Romeo!" Rikku bounced. "Mr. Turtle broughts pizza!"

This required more bouncing.

[the_merriest]

"You're a butt-face," Rikku stated. Having not forgotten their showdown earlier, no. "I gots pizza."

Aha! A child!

Cowabunga Carl lived to entertain children! And so, wearing his foamy head and waving his foamy nunchucks about, he trotted over to greet the kid with a slice of pizza!

"Hey there, little party dude!"

[withoutverona]

"Thankyouverymuch," Romeo said quickly, biting into the slice of pepperoni. "So are you a superhero?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Aww, dudette! Looks like Keppel's had a... good day?"

Whoa. That was a lot of syrup. Poor stuffed... chicken. Thing.

"Keppel needs a bath, little bucket-hat-girl."

[imcalledandros.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Andros said quietly.

[the_merriest]

"'M Rikku," she said proudly. "Keppel's kinda sticky."

The snuzzly kiss she gave him didn't help.

[withoutverona]

"I got some!" Romeo said, raising his slice in the air. "And I had a bunch of candy and chips and a cookie at 'nette's party, and I painted too!"

[the_merriest]

"He gots pizza," Rikku announced. This was important information that should be shared with people. "Looks!"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes," Mikey informed the boy. "But I go by Turtle Titan (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/Nanashigriff/DORK/0978068986900_150X150.jpg) when I am. Today, I'm totally Cowabunga Carl."

Well, he was. He had to keep his costumes straight, here.

"How about you, little dude? Are you a superhero?"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

Mikey very nearly lost his Cowabunga Carl persona, here, while he got his head around the fact that the little orange cute kid was Rikku.

...

"Duuuuuuuuuuude," he said, eloquently, before bouncing a little. "You know what we should do, Rikku? We should totally give Keppel a bubble bath in that sink over there."

[withoutverona]

"Me too?" Romeo asked, popping his head up over the back of the couch. "'Cause I'll shoot you if you kick me, bang bang."

He had decided he was never putting down his toy gun, but he still looked too happy for his threat to be taken seriously. Especially as he followed it with, "Hi Reno!"

[halfshell-hero.livejournal.com]

"Would you like some pizza, little dude? We're having a party!"

And everyone was, like, totally invited.

[withoutverona]

"Noooooo, I'm a Montague," Romeo declared, giggling. "I don't have any superpowers."

[raspberryturk]

"You've got stinky chocobo cooties," Reno informed her. "Where's the pizza from? I'm hungry."

See how hungry he was? He was all skin and bones and stuff. Hunnnnngry.

[raspberryturk]

Reno waved his cardboard tube EMR in the air.

"I'm all bulletproof and stuff," he told Romeo. "It's 'cause of Mako an' stuff!"

Mako totally didn't make people bulletproof. But what Romeo didn't know wouldn't get Reno shot. Or. Something.

"Hi, Romeo!"

Andros, who was wee and therefore had never heard of pizza before, looked at the pizza curiously, "what's pizza?" he asked.
