Tomfoolery (5) Amanda didn’t even turn over when the door of her quarters opened. “Lights. Ten percent,” Amanda muttered. “Thanks,” Trip said. “Uh-huh.” Amanda fell back to sleep, waking when the morning alarm went off. Below her Sherie stretched and sat up on the edge of her bed. “Alarm off,” she ordered and then yawned. “Any visitors last night, Mandy?” Sherie asked. “Uh-huh,” Amanda muttered.

Nothing looked out of place in it. Amanda climbed out of bed and walked around her to open her closet. “Are you sure we had—” Sherie stopped short when she was sprayed with whipped cream and feathers when Amanda opened her closet door. She wiped her eyes and stared at her closet.
