Sunday evening through her alarm, Alyssa crashed, as she'd half expected. There'd been the thought to get up early and work some more, but since she still had to go to class? No early alarm. She'd dragged herself to school, but knew she needed a night off of art, before she hit it hard again. Her plan had been trashy tv and snacks, maybe drag Ned downstairs to join her.

But when a guy she didn't know teased her about her movie suggestions? That just would not do. She knew he meant it in a teasing manner, but she could use a new friend. Since she changed out of real clothes earlier, she made the switch out of PJ's. Alyssa grabbed the clothes from earlier, and decided to compromise on comfort and looks. She grabbed yoga pants and threw a cute long sleeved shirt on top.

Once downstairs, she got out bowls for snacks and added a ranch dip and guacamole with the chips. She got the first movie queued up and ready.

When she heard a knock at the door, she opened it and said, "Hey. I should introduce myself. I'm Alyssa."

"I would not invite over a new friend to watch movies and serve only healthy snacks. I'm not a monster!" she said as she hit him with a baby carrot, knowing a potato chip wouldn't have the same impact.

Once they were seated on the couch, Alyssa wasted no time getting comfortable turning so her back was against the armrest and her legs draped over his lap. He could move if he didn't like it.

"So, we can watch Monster's Inc, which is hilarious and about monsters trying to return a girl home. Emperor's New Groove where an emperor gets turned into a llama and hijinks ensue. Or, Mr. and Mrs. Smith which is not animated, but still a pretty fun thriller.

She went to grab some chips and Morpheus popped into her head. She knew later that night she'd have another sleepless night. Sleeping in Madison Valley proved more and more difficult, without her Wonderland dreams.

But she had a smile on her face and waited for her guest to make a decision.

	"Just assaulting me with it!" he responded back, picking up the carrot and tossing it. Ben leaned back into the couch, getting comfortable and moments later it appeared Alyssa was doing the same. Legs in his lap. He wasn't complaining and it did not bother him any. "I refuse to pick. Hostess choice. You tell me what the best one is to start with." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She snort laughed at him. "Sorry. I couldn't resist." Since he didn't complain about her legs, she left them and grabbed her coffee. "Emperor's New Groove it is." Alyssa smiled at Ben and hit 'Play'. {{ooc: wrap on you?}} (Reply to this) (Parent)
