Ten sleeping bags, ten pillows, three cases of pop, two dozen bag of chips in various flavours, and popcorn was being popped in the microwave as the nine men of Easy Company - Captain Richard Winters, Lieutenants Lewis Nixon, Ronald Speirs, and Harry Welsh, First Sergeant Carwood Lipton, Staff Sergeant Joe Toye, Corporals Eugene Roe and George Luz, and Private Edward Heffron - all sat on the living room floor in Winters' hotel room looking warily at each other. They hand already suffered through High School Musical and had been informed there were two follow up movies which they were going to have the pleasure of experiencing as well. As exciting as that sounded to the men of war, they were hoping for a distraction.
"We could always play spin the bottle," Nixon commented casually as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his flask, unscrewing the top. "I'm sure she'd be thrilled to play that." He smiled wryly and took a long pull of the Vat 69, letting it burn down his throat, before he twisted the cap back on and stowed it away again.
"Remind me again why we agreed to this," Joe asked. He didn't hate spending time with the kid, but he had a bad feeling about where this 'sleep over' thing was going to lead. He drew the line at pillow fights.
"Because we were all to busy and we forgot her birthday," Winters explained with an edge of authority. "And we asked her what she wanted to make up for it and this is what she chose. So we're doing it."
There was a collective and silent 'yessir' from the men just before Zenon came bounding out of the kitchen with two big bowls of popcorn. "Ready for the second one! They go on summer break in it!"
"Hey, uh, Zenon?" Lipton looked over at the girl as she handed him a bowl to 'share' with Speirs and Babe who were on either side of him. "How about we take a rest from the movies for a while and do something else."
Zenon had been really looking forward to watching the second High school Musical movie with the men, but she could tell they were getting restless, so it was onto plan B. She always had a plan B. "Okay! Give me two nano-seconds and I'll fully rocket right back here." She hurried into the next room and disappeared, only to re-emerge with her arms filled with kits.
Speirs felt dread fash over him. "Zenon. What is all that?"
Zenon beamed and raised her arms just a bit. "Spa kits! Betty got them for me. They're macro fun."
Speir looked at her. "Spa kits."
She nodded excitedly and before any of the men could protest, she set them down and started opening them up. "Okay, who's first?"
~*~*~
"Ain't so bad, I 'spose." Roe muttered after Zenon asked him for the fifth time what he thought about it. Eugene Roe was sitting up, cross legged, with his hands out on the coffee table and Zenon had one of his hands in hers. Buffer in hand, she was going over each of the man's nails carefully - clipping, shaping, buffing - until they looked perfect and inordinately clean.
"It's called a manicure. They're one of my favourite's and Neb's obsession-major." Zenon smiled as she reached for the hand lotion and poured some on Roe's hands and began to massage his fingers, his knuckle, and his palm.
"..s'nice."
~*~*~
"I'm not sure about this." Joe looked at Zenon as he sat on the couch with her and a bowl of warm water.
Zenon looked up at him and smiled. "Sweat-minor, Joe. You're going to fully like this. It's alpha-extreme."
"Right." Joe had no clue was alpha-extreme was, but she let him take his bare feet and put them in the water. 'Soaking' she had called it. When the appropriate amount of time went by, she lifted his feet and began to file away at the underside of his feet with a buffer. To his surprise, it wasn't all that unpleasant.
"See," She smiled as she noticed the beginnings of a content look on Toye's face. "Pedicures are the best. Fully stellar."
"Yeah, stellar." Joe watched her with fascination as she picked up lotion with tiny beads in it and began to rub it all over his feet. It felt like sand, but it also felt amazing. He felt all the tension leave his body. Finally he could understand why this sort of thing was a big deal
~*~*~
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
Speirs sighed and rubbed a hand over his forehead. "Fine." Zenon opened her mouth and it looked like she was going to squeal and Speirs lifted a hand to stop her. "Only the face."
Moments later Speirs joined Nixon, Welsh, Lipton, Luz, Babe and Winters who were all lying down in a circle, heads close together, with green face masks on an cucumbers over their eyes.
"You know," Winters said after a moment. "This isn't so bad." The green lotion cooled when it was drying and it smelled like fresh fruit.
"Yeah, and if you get hungry you ca have the cucumber." There was a crunch and it was obvious that Luz had taken one of the eye pieces and started to eat it.
"Kitty'd like this." Welsh shifted restlessly.
"Kitty'd like a lot of things." Nixon smirked and then winced as Welsh's hand came over to smack him in the shoulder. "What?" He feigned innocence.
~*~*~
By one o'clock, they had managed to avoid High School Musical 3, and Zenon was completely tuckered out. She had fallen asleep on Babe's shoulder and it was clear from the look on his face that Babe realized he wasn't about to go anywhere any time soon. Not that he wasn't used to sitting in one place for long periods of time. At least they were in a warm place with a roof over their head.
"Better get some sleep," Winters said as he climbed into his sleeping bag. "I have a feeling we'll have to watch a graduation in the morning."
There might have been a few grumbles as the lights went out.
