leave the handle sticking out

"It's my only purpose in life." Alex replied solemnly, playfully shoving Melanie from behind before jumping away to avoid being hit. "Little brothers have the innate ability to know when it's time to steal their sister's credit card and order pizza though." Even though Mel had given it to him whenever she was home earlier, he still said it to make her laugh. It seemed to work, even if it was only half hearted. "what am I ordering ladies?" He asked as he walked towards the door to find the phone.

"Double pepperoni, thin crust, and breadsticks. What kind of question is that Damien Alexander?" Melanie scoffed playfully, throwing a nearby book in his general direction. She hadn't intended to hit him in the first place, but it didn't stop him from laughing at her. "Might as well order three in case the others show up. Whatever else you two want is fine by me." Standing up, Melanie looked around the room for a minute before frowning. No, this room simply would not do. "Ive never noticed that this one doesn't have a TV. what kind of worthless room is this? I really need to explore this place and fix it sometime." So what if she owned it, that didn't mean she knew what Aimery did to most of the behemoth. "let's go upstairs. it's less depressing and...boring."

== are we about to dance party?? lol ==

Octavia nodded and grinned and Alex, sticking her tongue out at him as she stood up, "Come on, slow poke!" She said, already at the door and watching him with excited blue eyes, "I'll race you to the Kinect!" Grinning, she ran up the stairs like she owned the place and didn't even bother waiting for the sibling to follow after.

(of course we are about to dance party. what else would we do?)
Rolling his eyes at Melanie, Alex took off after Octavia. How she knew where Mel's room was escaped him, but after what seemed like forever they somehow made it up to the suite, Tavie barely beating him. "Man, we need to invest in an elevator or something." He remarked breathlessly, taking a key out of his pocket to let them in to Mel's room. "So, DDR or what? Mel's got a few games up here, but most of them haven't been opened." Not that that surprised him. What didn't escape his notice was that the disc for DDR was already in the xbox. No way in hell was he going to let her live that down. Ever.

Laughing at the two younger siblings, Melanie followed at a much slower pace. Pulling out her phone, Melanie sent the previously promised text before entering her room.

Mel: Tav is staying here for the night. We're ordering pizza and I heard mention of DDR. See you later? (Sent to @braxton)

"Alright, the authorities have been notified and the pizza is on its way. Someone pick a song and let's do this!" Melanie grinned, setting the phone down on the counter and taking her jacket off as she did. Was this a good idea? Probably not, but at least it was only Tav and Alex. Plus, neither of them had a camera phone that she knew of, so there would be no photographical evidence.
