Chapter 16, Pulling An All Nighter, Again
You very much make me want to buy a Razor scooter and slam it against my ankle.
Normally when you eat something at night to fill up your stomach, you're supposed to be sleepy enough to go upstairs to your bedroom to fall asleep but when you decide to drink coffee, the sleepiness goes away and now you're wide awake.
So the girls had nothing better to do than to pull an all nighter like they usually do and without a fail, they always had something to talk about or something to do.
This time they had blankets, pillows and snacks because going to the kitchen while you're all warm and comfortable is the worst thing to ever have to do, so they snuggled up into their blankets and ate their snacks as they went through YouTube to look for stuff to watch.
Sometimes an all nighter is what you need to get through whatever you wanna do, because for some reason, you feel more motivated to get your life together when the sun goes down.
For some reason, everyone had the motivation to get their lives together and to do that, they played 'Running Up That Hill' by Kate Bush, that song was a really good motivation song by the way.
Hallow was getting the living room together, Charlotte was cleaning the kitchen and the linen closet that was near the kitchen, Angel worked on the bathroom, Mia was cleaning up the dining room, and Venus and Dahlia were cleaning up the room of all the girls.
Now, some people wouldn't allow anyone in their room to clean it because you have some stuff that you don't want people looking for and seeing, but the girls didn't have that issue because they had established that anything they found that it would strictly go back unharmed.

So as far as the night went, the house was being tidied up and the idea came from Hallow, which wasn't that surprising because they were a clean freak and wanted everything to look decent and more.
All the girls were fine with cleaning because they had their earbuds on which began to blast all of their favorite songs, nobody really ever pulls an all nighter and tries to clean their whole house, with help or not.
It's just something you don't actually start to do but you actually think about doing it because it'll make your life more easier, but Hallow always encouraged the girls to do what their hearts desired whether they have energy or not.
Sometimes you might not like how it's going or how it's looking, you just have to trust the process and maybe the outcome would be worth all the blood, sweat and tears.
Hallow finished the living room and walked to the kitchen to help Charlotte out with the cleaning in there, Angel and Mia somehow found a way to help each other out with the spots that they had to clean.
Dahlia and Venus were busy fooling around in their closet, taking turns walking out of the closet with the clothes that they forgot they either had or bought, they had finished cleaning out the rooms and making them look really pretty than they were before.
After they finished messing around, they decided to walk down the stairs and check out if everyone else had already finished or of they needed help getting those hard to reach spots.
"Were you two playing dress up?"
Hallow questioned as they removed the gloves and threw them in the garage before walking to the sink to do the left over dishes that some of the girls left, Dahlia and Venus shook their heads with a smile on their face.

"Dee you have a feather stuck in your hair and Venus you're still wearing the stupid clown shoes you bought for Halloween."
Charlotte pointed out with a smirk on their face before walking out of the kitchen and going into the linen closet to organize it, Dahlia face palmed as they removed the feather from their hair but Venus only laughed when they looked down and saw the clown shoes.
Venus wanted to be a clown for Halloween, Dahlia being the best friend without a filter that she was, told Venus all she needed was the shoes becaus she was practically a clown already.
"You still look like a clown."
Dahlia blurted out as they grabbed the broom and dustpan and began sweeping the place, Venus looked over at her best friend and rolled their eyes playfully.
"You look like a gay clown, guess we're twins."
Venus retorted, Hallow who was taking a sip from their water bottle choked and looked over at Venus.
Angel and Mia finished cleaning their spots and walked down the stairs to the dining room, to do some tiktoks.
Charlotte walked over to both Venus and Dahlia and smiled at the two before messing their hairs up and pulling them into a hug, the sudden show of affection threw both the girls off guard but they hugged back anyways.
When Charlotte let go, Hallow awed at them as she placed a hand on their heart and smiled at the three girls.
You very much make me want to buy a Razor scooter and slam it against my ankle.
Charlotte joked as she walked to the kitchen to grab something to drink, Hallow rolled her eyes playfully before walking to the closet near the steps and opening it.
They had all kinds of games in there and since nobody was exactly fully exhausted, they decided to play the game Trouble, how fun is that?
Nobody's that competitive right? Wrong.
