Tabitha invades Lil's room for a celebration of Val's new love of ABBA.

The problem with having her arms full of snacks and movies was a distinct lack of ability to handle doors. Tabitha stared at Lil and Amara's door with narrowed eyes, determined that it would not thwart her.

She kicked the door in a short knock, hoping no one would answer with violence.

"Take it easy," Lil scolded with a smile when she opened it. "Didn't do anything to you, did it?" Jerking her head at the common area behind her, the taller blonde extended her arms to take some of the load. "Come in. And give me the chocolate."

"It stood between me and sloth," Tabs retorted. "And if you can find it, you can have it." She eyed the pile warily. "I think perhaps I may have gone overboard, but I have cute guys shooting things and blowing stuff up. Twice."

Lil purred her acceptance and hauled two of the bags over to the coffee table to begin unpacking them. Already on hand was a bottle of chilled white wine and two glasses. "No such thing as overboard when it comes to victory celebrations. I'm just sorry we couldn't have done it earlier." It was her own fault, really, but after Nate's party, she hadn't really been in the mood to savor the spoils.

Tabitha put down her own bags. "No big, delayed gratification and all that. And I know one little girl who's getting Mama Mia! for her birthday." She poured out two glasses of wine and grabbed the DVDs.

With a cackle, the Canadian flopped down on the couch, grabbing the remote in the process to flip on the television to the right station for the movie. "She'll love it. Val is such the perfect prop for causing problems for Manuel, I love it. I told you I got her a Chicken Dance Elmo, yes? Don't know how well that went over, but I doubt he was a fan. Next up, drum set."

She barely managed to keep wine from exiting through her nose. She choked it down, followed by several dry coughs. "You are a bad, bad woman, Lil. I really like the way you think."

"When I'm good, I'm very good. When I'm bad, I'm better," Lil quoted Mae West with a smirk and took the DVDs from her friend, moving to pop the first one in before started back to the couch and settling in with the wine in one hand and a brownie in the other. "To the Sisterhood of Blondes."
