"Yo... dude..." said Billy, watching Joel come up the ladder. He giggled girlishly. "Yo, dude, why are you all different colours?"
"Dude, are you on crack again?" asked Joel.
Billy giggled again and threw a cushion at Joel. It was embroidered with the Level 27 logo (Billy was quite enterprising when not high.) Joel sighed and backed down the ladder out of Billy's room in the loft.
Joel was sitting downstairs, doing nothing, when he saw something whizz past the window. OUt of instinct, he called out, "Benji! Dude, stop chucking stuff out the window!"
Benji walked into the room. "Dude, you always pick on me. I've been in the kitchen," he whined.
"Well, if it's not you..."
The twins groaned. "BILLY!" they yelled as one, and charged up the ladder.
They arrived at a scene of utter chaos, hamsters running everywhere. Paul was shouting, "Billy, no!" but Billy pushed him and he flew backwards, crashing into Benji- still coming up the ladder- and the pair of them fell to the bottom, cursing all the way.
Billy, of course, found this highly amusing. He giggled again and squeezed the hamster in his hand gently. "Hey, Puffy Cheeks! Oh, Joelio, Puffy Cheeks can talk! What's that you say, Puffy Cheeks? You wanna fly? FLY!" and he threw the hamster out of the window. Joel could only stare in shock.
"That's the third one," said Billy happily. "They all wanna fly! And I wanna fly too!"
Before Joel had time to react, Billy ran over to the window and jumped out, landing on Benji (who had given up on Billy and gone to sunbathe). Joel heard a sickening crack, and a loud swear word from Benji. He looked out the window. Billy had broken his arm on an overhanging tree branch and fainted.
