Heroes From a Cardboard Box (Requested characters)
StickyCarpet
(So sorry about how long this took, I would make an excuse, but I don't have one. And sorry if they are a bit OOC, I don't know these characters as well as the others.)
It was Sophie Foster's birthday, and all of her friends had gathered at Grady and Ediline's massive house for a sleepover. Balloons were blown up, streamers were hung, and T-rexes were dressed up in funny costumes. A pink, glittery, fuzzball named Iggy zipped around the yard at the speed of sound, high out of his mind on sugar.
The party guests were up in Sophie's room, as they had just finished eating the mallowmelt cake (and washing most of it out of Keefe's hair). Grady and Ediline had said they had a surprise for Sophie, so all of the friends were waiting in her room, totally not having a stuffed-animal fight.
Grady entered the room with a big box, just in time for Mr. Snuffles to smack him in the face. Spitting out tufts of fuz, he set the box down on the bed. He nodded in Fitz' direction "I asked your father if he could take a trip to a human's store for me, and he came back with these. So, here you go, please try not to destroy them." He sighed and hastily left the room before he could be pummelled with any more animals.
Keefe reached the box first, digging into it and pulling out a mess of black and yellow fabric; which he shoved under his arm and ran to the bathroon with. "I call dibbs!"
Sophie reached it next, and pulled out some pajamas. But these weren't any old pajamas, these were wonder woman pajamas. "I call dibbs on the other bathroom!" She called as she ran out the room and down the hall.
Fitz put a hand inside the cardboard, and pulled out the first thing that his fingers touched. Red, blue, and yellow fabric fell over his arm, as he walked over to the bathroom Keefe was occupying and stood by the door. "Come on keefe, hurry up!"
Biana and Dex met at the box at the same time, nearly clonking their heads together as they reached inside. It took a minute to detangle the two outfits, but once they did, Biana hurried down the hall to catch up with Sophie, "Sophie! Are you out yet? The boys are being weird again!" As her voice faded down the long hallway, Dex struck up a conversation with Fitz about Keefe, despite his protests from beyond the door.
It took thirty minutes for them all to get dressed.
And another thirty minutes for Dex to get out of the bathroom. He claimed he couldn't find the hole for his head, but Sophie caught him weaving tiny electronics into the fabric, and so she assumed that was what took so long.
Keefe had nabbed a set of batman PJs, and was now "flying" around the room with his cape out behind him -despite the fact that batman can't fly. Fitz donned a superman shirt and cape, but he had to provide his own pants since those weren't in the box. Because he didn't know what superman was, Sophie -dressed in her wonder woman skirt and tank top- was sitting with him on the bed, filling him in on the basics. Biana was talking with the vanity, fidgeting with her supergirl nightgown. Dex had, just as Sophie guessed, sewn some computers into his cyborg onsie, and was trying to make them light up. There were even little costumes for Mr. Snuffles and Ella so they could match Sophie and Fitz.
The night progressed as planned, with would-you-rather, teasing, pillow fights, truth-or-dare, and absolutely no sleeping. About an hour before midnight though, after keefe had downed his fifteenth glass of milk, the boys (minus Dex) began to get rowdy. Fitz had found a leftover splotcher, and was threatening to burst it all over Keefe's hair, who in return had taken Mr. Snuffles and was holding him precariously out the window.
Dex was tending to an almost-crying Biana, who seemed to be genuinely concerned for the wellbeing of the stuffed dragon. Sophie stood between the boys, pleading for them to stop this nonsence while at the same time shooing away the pink imp that had decided that this was the best time to make a nest in her hair.
All in all, it had gotten rather loud.
A loud slam stopped everyone in their tracks. Grady stood at the door, sporting an amazing lump of bedhead, looking extremely annoyed and dragging a pillow behind him. "It's one in the morning. I think it's time for you guys to go to bed."
They did.
