Rikku was chilling out in the third floor common room, in her
PJs and with some of her birthday gifts in tow.
Hey, Hamlet had gotten her a
candy basket, that meant he wanted her to have it, right? And some Lucas guy had brought her a whole case of some
neat-tasting stuff to wash it down with

That was weird. Rikku almost felt like she was talking even faster than usual.

She looked down at her shorts and tank top. "What kind of candy and oh my god, is that Jolt? I love that, but I was only allowed to have a couple of sips once because Buffy said it would stunt my growth, although, hi, irony, table for Buffy there, because she's all wee and I'm not, y'know?"
"Do I really need my jammies?"

"ALL KINDS of candy, there's just a huge bouquet and it was from H-" she almost stuttered and then closed her eyes and forced the word out "Hamlet and I can't think of anything he'd want me to do with it more than get high on sugar and watch movies and be an idiot and I don't know what it is but it tastes nifty and kinda makes me feel all head-rush-y but in a good way, you know?" Deeeeeep breath. "And you don't need jammies but you can get them if you want them because jammies are soooooo great, yeah?"

She hugged Rikku again. "No, I can't imagine anything either, and Jolt is soda, but with, like twice the sugar and all the caffeine. Hang on, I'll be right back."
Dawn ran out and returned minutes later, wearing her jammies. "Okay, I'm ready!"

She squeezed back. "He, uh, he would've been proud of me, Horatio said, 'cause we went to a formal event-thing like the heads of the states or something and I was trying to do okay but everyone thought I was weird so I started acting weird and he and I were kinda cracking up and ... yeah. There's ... whoa. That's a lot, isn't it? Sugar I mean. Good thing we have the candy!"
... Okay, her logic was not Earth logic. But she squeed and bounced at the jammies. "Those are awesome! They're all cute and adorable and dude, we need to get Luke PJs! He said he doesn't have any! Let's get him something embarrassing!"

"Yeah, there's a lot of sugar, and the stuff in the middle should totally soak up some of the caffeine. I think that's why they get put together a lot." She obviously had no idea, or a brilliant future career in the food industry ahead of her.
Dawn turned a little circle to show off her jammies, reaching for a candy bar and biting into it. "Aren't they cute? Thank you and he doesn't have any??? We have to make him a milkshake, too, because he's never heard of one. Oooh, what do you think of penguins? Or maybe iguanas or flamingos?"

Rikku took another swig of the Jolt. "This stuff is great! I can't believe I didn't try this before! And I told him we had to have a pajama party and he said he didn't have any pajamas and I said 'you need some' and he was all 'can't I wear normal clothes' and I said 'NOOOOO, because it's a PAJAMA PARTY not a NORMAL CLOTHES party, DUH.'" She rolled her eyes. And bounced. "He's never had a milkshake!?? Dude! We should take him to Luke's! Jude makes awesome shakes! Like orange-cream-vanilla-y ones and chocolate-caramel-cookie ones and really cool ones! And I think we ( ... )

Dawn munched on a Reese's Cup. "I can't believe you didn't either! And wow, Luke is such a boy sometimes," she said like that was a bad thing, "and no! And I've never had a Jude milkshake, but those sound incredibly delicious! Yes!" She bounced, "He needs them with feet, and that little back door in the back so your rear end hangs out like in the cartoons!"

She swiped a Nestle Crunch and bounced more. "I knoooooow! Who doesn't have pajamas!? We should go get him some! Buy them in town or something and oooooh, maybe I can get a new pair 'cause mine aren't real summery and Jude-shakes are the best thing ever and we need to get him a LOT of pairs and make them real cutesy and embarassing and tell him to put them on or we'll show everybody more footage of the tiger thing!"
Reply
"Only Luke doesn't have jammies, and I love jammie shopping, so we should totally do that, and yes, do they make some with sounds? Because he totally needs mooing jammies and what tiger thing? Can't we just pout at him?"
Reply
She blushed and kept rambling. "We should, that'd be AWESOME and whoa. They make them with sounds!? He needs moo cow jammies! And the tiger thing was the movie from the festival with him and Gavin and quarters and I can be hyper at him if that helps and we need to actually start the club not just for pajamas but yeah."
Reply
"I don't know, but they totally should, shouldn't they? I mean, you could have ducky pajamas that quacked, and how awesome would that be?? I missed the tiger thing and hyper almost always helps and yes, we definitely need the club and not just of pajamas, but pajamas are fun. Pajama is a weird word. Pajama. Pajama. Pajama. Hey, what do you think a pajama is? They're always sold in pairs."
