"Gem!" Pearl says, knocking on the red haired girl's door.
"Pearllllll!" Gem says, answering.
"I was wondering if you want to come with me." Pearl says, "the boatum crew are going to be watching movies and having a sleepover."
"That sounds like fun!" the deer hybrid says.
-♡-
Gem knocks on Grian's door, a rolled up sleeping bag in one arm, a tub of cookies piled on top of that.
Impulse answers the door, "Hey Gem." the demon-phantom hybrid says, "why don't you come in." he says, moving out of the way to let her in.
The deer hybrid walks inside, setting her sleeping bag down with the other guest's and their bags.
She takes off her shoes, putting them on a mat by the door.
She follows Impulse, her now bare feet, make light thud noises as she walks on the wooden floor.
The duo makes their way to the living room, where Grian, Mumbo, Peal, and Scar are sitting around a small, low table, a monopoly on it.
Gem setts the tub of cookies on a table with other snacks on it, before kneeling down next to Pearl and Grian.
Impulse sits down next to Grian and Pearl.
Impulse starts to deal out money.
Pearl ends up with Boardwalk and Parkplace, maxing both out to hotels, and all four railroads.
Poor Mumbo, keeps lousing all him money and properties.
Scar convinces people (mostly Mumbo) to give him their properties for his bad ones.
Grian keeps trying to cheat.
"Grian, you landed on 'go to jail', so go to jail." Impulse sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I don't want to!"
"Yes!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
Impulse has the rule book out and open on his lap at all times. He ends up getting out right after Mumbo, but has to stay by the game to manage the bank.
Once Mumbo got out he decided he would make it Grian's problem, pulling the avian onto his lap, and playing with his hair as he plays.
Gem gets really lucky, jumping right over Scar's dark green properties, and Pearl's dark blue, landing on all the safe spaces between. She keeps getting community chest and chance cards, which 90% of the time are good.
"It's not fair how lucky you are." Grian says, giving Gem all his properties and money after he landed on her maxed out Marvin Gardens.
Grian goes out next, leaving Gem, Peal, and Scar.
Gem goes out to Scar, and them Pearl gets out after landing on three of his properties in a row.
Scar packs up the game since he won, as Grian brings out the popcorn he was popping in the kitchen.
"Scar since you won, you get to pick the movie." Grian says, putting the popcorn down on the table, and transferring the snack to it, after moving it closer to the couch.
Scar opens his mouth to say the movie-
"AND NO STAR WARS!" Everyone else says.
"You guys are no fun." Scar sighs, "how about the 'Chronicles of Narnia, the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe' ?"
Mumbo who has the remote, types it into the search bar.
When the movie is ready, Mumbo sits down on the couch.
Impulse sits on one end with Scar next to him, Grian sitting on Scar's lap, Mumbo, Pearl, and Gem.
As the movie plays, the group watches, some talking about the movie, or making jokes as it goes.
At a random part of the movie Pearl stands up, "I almost forgot I brought my nail polish."
She grabs a gallon plastic bag from before knapsack.
The moth hybrid setts the little bottles out on the table.
"Can you do little Jellies?" Scar asks.
"I can try." Pearl says to the vex hybrid.
Scar's face lights up.
He grabs Grian (arising a squawk from the avian), standing up.
Mumbo moves over, next to Impulse without being asked.
Scar deposits the avian in his lap, before sitting down.
Pearl grabs a white polish bottle, laughing at her brothers glaring at Scar.
"I was comfortable." Grain grumbles.
Once the movie is done, Pearl has done little Jellies on Scar's nails, plain black on Mumbo's, plain red on Grian's, Black with little yellow i's on Impulse's, little flower designs on Gem's, and purple on her own.
Mumbo stands up, stretching.
The vampire's stomach growls.
"Mumbo, are you hungry?" Gem asks the ravenett.
"Yeah, a little." Mumbo says, "Just need a little bite." he says, smiling, showing his fangs, "you know."
Grian starts rolling up his sleeve for Mumbo.
"Do you want to drink my blood?" Gem asks.
"You sure?" Mumbo asks.
"I've had a vampire feed off me." Gem says, "sounds interesting."
"Could I get a bite too?" Scar asks.
"Sure, why not."
They end up having Gem lay on Grian's dining room table.
She had changed from her day clothes into the pajamas she roled up in her sleeping bag.
They are Christmas pants, cute little deer heads on a mint green cloth. The shirt is mint green with the words 'Merry Christmas' in darker green with a big deer head in the center, a bigger copy of the ones on the pants.
Mumbo holds Gem's right wrist.
Impulse is on her left side, "If at anytime you feel uncomfortable, tell us. Okay?"
The deer hybrid nods, "Okay."
Mumbo bites into her wrist.
Gem feels a pinch as Mumbo's fangs puncture her skin.
The pain melts away as Mumbo's venom flows through her system.
Her body relaxes.
Mumbo pulls away, nodding to the others.
Impulse grabs her left hand, limp in his.
He slowly starts to gnaw on her fingers.
When she does not even react to the pain, he start to bite them off, the bones crunching easily under the strength of his jaw.
Grian moves next to Impulse, when Scar moves next to Mumbo.
Grian pulls up her shirt to the chest band of her sports bra.
The avian looks as Gem, "you okay with this. Right?"
Their not touching privet parts, but they want to make sure their friend is comfortable the entire time.
Gem nods, "Yeah."
Scar drags one of his claws horizontally across her abdomen, slicing through the flesh like a hot knife through butter.
To Gem it only feels like the vex is sliding the pad of his finger across her stomach thanks to Mumbo's venom.
Grian reaches into the hole Scar has made in her abdomen, and pulls out a smooth, slimy, bloody cover viscera.
He brings it up to his mouth, taking a bite out of his before letting Scar have some.
Pearl roles up her pant leg, using the knife she 'borrowed' from Grian's kitchen, to cut a strip of flesh, bringing it up to her mouth, chewing on it.
Mumbo sucks blood from her wrist, not letting a drop go to waist.
Gem lays there, feeling none of the pain. Not even when Impulse rips what's left of her arm out of it's socket, and starts eating it again.
Her mind is clouded by Mumbo's venom, and eventually she passes out from blood loss, he head lolling to the side, eyes closed.
Mumbo unlatches from her wrist, having had his fill, and starts running a hand through her red hair, careful of the brown antlers that protrude from her head there.
Gem's breathing slows down as her heart slows until she is gone, her body slowly cooling as her friends gorge themselves on her flesh.

Gem wakes up in Grian's nest where they decided for her to set he spawn.
She sits up.
The respawn has cleaned all the blood and gore off her clothes so they are just like when she fist changed into them in Grian's bathroom.
The door cracks open and the five members of boatum stick their head through.
"You feelin' okay?" Impulse asks.
"Yeah." Gem says, stretching out her stuff arms.
Pearl walks into the room crawling into the nest.
The boys take her lead, all crawling in after her.
The six hermits end up spending the night wrapped up in countless blanket in one big cuddle pile.
