Dan and Jonah had been gone for a few hours now.

Amy, Dan, Natalie, Ian, and Sinead had been sitting in the lounge area of the Madrigal base. It was directly in between both the boys and girls dorm. There were a few couches and armchairs, a table and fridge, and a enormous plasma screen TV. The group was watching "Confessions of a True Shopaholic" which all of them had gotten bored of. All except Natalie. She had cried during parts and kept nodding agreeably during the whole movie.
20 minutes after the movie started, Jonah and Dan had gone off in search of snacks and Sinead had gone off to do some educational stuff. Now it was only Ian, Amy, and Natalie.

Natalie was now watching "From Prada to Nada" Amy was reading, and Ian was IMing with his friend, Teddy Hastings. Then Jonah and Dan walked in, each carrying two Wal Mart bags.

"Oh no." Amy groaned.

The bags were filled with bags of skittles. Empty. Bags of Skittles. Ian and Natalie looked wary. They had heard about the time Dan ate 20 bags of Skittles. Each Wal Mart bag was home to 30 bags of Skittles.

Dan strutted over to Natalies couch , draped his arm around her, and shouted in her ear:

"Nat! Amy and Ian are gonna name their baby Dan! Isnt that so nice? "He slurred. "Skittles are nice. Babies are nice. And the world goes round and ro-" He hiccuped.

Amy's face went red and Ian's went pale. Jonah walked over and sat on Amy's lap, much to Ian's dismay.

"She is quite the catch, Ivan! Amy's eyes are as green as...as.."He paused. As..grass! " He bellowed triumphantly.

Natalie smirked. "Arent you going to stop him Ian?" she asked.

"IM NOT AFRAID! TO TAKE A STAND! EVERYBODY! COME TAKE MY HAND!" Jonah sang.

Natalie raised her eyebrow. "Ian'll knock your sugar high bum to the ground."she declared.

"SOMETIMES LOVE COMES AROUND! AND IT KNOCKS YOU DOWN !JUST GET BACK UP AND IT KNOCKS YOU DOWN!"

"Are you just going to answer with a song Jonah?" Amy asked.

"SING IT FOR THE WORLD! SING IT TIL YOUR NUTS! SING IT OUT FOR THE ONES THATLL HATE YOUR GUTS!"

Ian rose, massaging his temples." Amy, how do you-"

"LOVE ME! AMY! SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABO-"

"I WASNT DONE TALKING, YOU TWIT!"

"THATS NOT MY NAME! THATS NOT MY NAME! THATS NOT MY NAME, THATS NOT MY NICKNAME!"

Sinead chose that time to walk into the room. "Help us." Ian mouthed.

'HELP! I NEED SOMEBODY! HELP! NOT JUST ANYBODY!"

Sinead walked backwards out of the room slowly. Ian turned to Amy, who was trying to drag Dan off Natalie. "BUT I AM A NINJA NAT!

"Okay! Okay! Youre a ninja now get off of me! She shrieked.

"Amy, what did you do the last time he went mad like this?" Ian asked.

"AND BOTH OF US ARE MAD FOR-"

"SHUT UP!" Ian shouted.

"SOMEDAY ILL BE, LIVIN IN A BIG OLD CITY! AND ALL YOU'LL EVER GONNA BE IS MEAN!"

"I called a friend?"Amy offered.

"That's it!" Ian declared. He pulled out his phone.

"867-4309!"

"Hamilton! Get to the lounge. PLEASE HURRY!"

A few moments later, Hamilton burst into the room. It mustve been quite the scene, Amy and Ian dragging Dan off Natalie, and Jonah singing and dancing on the , Hamilton took Dan off and locked him in a broom closet. Hamilton turned to Jonah.

Jonah paused. He raised his arms. "Can I just go to my room?" Hamilton complied. He nodded at Amy and Ian and walked out. The two collapsed next to a frazzled-looking Natalie, who was clutching the couch for dear life.

Ian was first to break the silence:

"By God! What do they put in those ridiculous American candies?"
