"Wake up and get out of my room." Rori pulled the blankets off JC and Ali

"Go away!" Ali yelled.

"No. JC needs to get out so I can get dressed."

"First of all, this isn’t just your room. And second of all, no he doesn’t. Get your crap and you can get dressed in Justin’s room."

"Geez, someone’s crabby this morning."

"Just go!"

"Okay, okay. Give me 5 minutes to get all my stuff and I’ll leave you two alone."

"Thank you." Ali said, her voice muffle by the pillow now over her head.

"You guys do realize what time it is don’t you?" Rori asked as she walked around the room gathering the things she needed.

"I don’t care what time it is." JC responded.

"Whatever. Enjoy your sleep."

"We’ve been trying to do that!" Ali yelled as Rori left the room. Justin was sitting on the couch eating cereal when she walked into the central living area of the suite.

"Morning baby." She kissed him on the cheek.

"Morning." Justin mumbled between spoonfuls. Rori showered and dressed. As she was brushing her hair, she walked out to where Justin sat watching TV. His bowl and spoon on the floor in front of him. Rori picked it up on her way to the sink, where she got a glass of water.

"Anyone else up yet?" She asked sitting next to him.

"Don’t think so."

Rori giggled and spit water at Justin.

"Ah! What the -- Rori!"

Rori spit water again, this time hitting him right between the eyes.

"Stop!" He put his hands up to cover his face.

"Oh its just water Justin. I promise you won’t melt because of it."

"I might." He challenged.

"You won’t."

"If I do I’m blamin it on you."

"Okay, I’ll take full responsibility if you melt."

"That’s right, you better."

Rori rolled her eyes as she stood up.

"I think I’m gonna go wake everyone up. They’ve had enough sleep."

"Since when do you think?" Justin teased.

"If I were you I’d be nicer to me."

"And why’s that?"

"Think about it Justin. I know 10:30 is early for your brain, but I’m sure if you think really hard you’ll know why." Rori answered.

"Give me a clue."

"What did we do last night?"

Justin thought for a moment before jumping up and kissing Rori.

"I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it." He apologized.

"You men are so predictable." Rori said as she walked off to Chris’s room. She knocked a few times before walking in. Chris was sleeping in a chair. Rori laughed, shaking her head.

"Time to get up Chrissy." She shook him.

"Too early." he groaned.

"It's almost 11."

"Ugh."

"Oh come on Chris."

"No." He protested, not even opening his eyes.

"Did you go out last night."

"Maybe."

"Then I have no sympathy. Get up. And did you know you’re in a chair?"

Chris groaned again, standing up and walking over to the bed. He fell over on to it, still fully clothed.

"You had better be up and dressed in an hour or I'm getting Lonnie in here to drag your butt from that bed."

"Right." Chris waved her off, snuggling a pillow. Jessie went right past Lance's and Joey's rooms. She knew Lance would be up and the thought of seeing Joey in his boxers disgusted her. In her room she found Ali putting her makeup on and JC on the phone, wearing only a pair of boxers.

"Man, I was hoping I'd get to rudely awake you two."

"We're sorry." Ali said sarcastically.

"Sure you are. Who are you talkin to JC?"

He mouthed the words "my mom."

"Doesn't surprise me, mama's boy."

"Don't even start with the mama's boy stuff." Ali warned. "Justin calls his mom twice as much as JC does."

"But Justin's younger. He still needs mommy's guidance." Rori defended.

"I wonder what mommy would think of your little... hm… how should I say this…"

"Cheap thrills?" JC suggested, having hung up the phone.

"Yeah, cheap thrills." Ali smiled.

"Oh you know nothing about what we do for fun." Rori said.

"And I'd like to keep it that way."

Rori looked around for an excuse to change the subject.

"Nice boxers JC, I like the silky look on you."

For the first time, JC remembered how little he was wearing. He pulled the blankets over his lap as his face turned red.

"That's it. You go share Justin's room." Ali pushed Rori towards the door.

"Oh don't get all mad just because I saw JC in his boxers."

"You have your own guy to see in boxers. Get your stuff and go!"
