Allegra nodded in response to Ari as she spoke to Hiro. "Of course," she said. "But when Ari and I are in cahoots it's different than some of you guys plotting stuff."

Arianna hussled off to the girl's dorm and returned shortly, a large box floating behind her. She set it carefully on the floor amongst the crowed and stepped back, allowing them to peer inside and wonder what the balloons were for.

Drew looked at the balloons and then over at the girls. the uses Drew usually found for balloons involved various gooey substances and tall buildings. For some reason, he doubted his sister was about to lead them all in such a diversion.

Allegra pulled out one bright orange balloon and held it up for everyone to see. Inside is a slip of paper with a task. Everyone takes turns sitting on the balloon for ten seconds... no just squating over it either. You have to sit on it properly for ten seconds. If the balloon survives, you pass it on to the next person. If it pops, you have to do the task," she told them.
"Some of the tasks are rewards, like getting dibs on the last brownie... or getting your pick of what ever seat you want for the evening." At this she looked over at Drew and grinned at him. "Others are just silly, but none dangerous. Ready?" She offered the balloon up for the first person to give it a try.
{you can decide if the balloon pops, but Ari and I get to decide what your task is. We made a list and we're just going straight down it. ;D }

"Hey! That's no fair!" Drew answered back. "Ari and Lily won't break any and Hiro and I will end up busting them all! We're the biggest!"
Not to mention it sounded like he'd have to give up his chair...

"Hey!" Lily said. "I will too break some. They're ballons for crying out loud! Don't make me hurt you Drew! I've taken on bigger guys than you in the air and I'll take you on too."

"What are we? Feathers?" Arianna question at Drew's outburst. Sure, she a Lily might have an advantage, but she doubted that NONE of the balloons would pop under them.

Allegra rolled her eyes. "It's not like you're going to be sitting on all of them anyway," she answered. "We're taking turns. If you pop one, the next one starts with the next person."
"So who's first?"

To keep things rolling and help Allegra and Ari with their plan Hiro took the first balloon from the older girl. Likewise he helped Drew by proving his theory that Drew and him were going to pop all the balloons because the moment his weight was on the balloon it popped.
"Can someone find my paper?" Hiro asked as he got up off his bum.

Ignoring the looks her brother was giving her, Allegra snatched up the paper and read it out loud. "You get to act out the scene of a cow being branded," shetold him with a grin.

Lily burst out laughing. "This should be good," she said. "This should be good."

Arianna's hand flew to her mouth as she snorted. Somehow she felt Hiro would be very good at this one.

Hiro had decided that repeating the sound 'moo' over and over painfully was a bit too boring for his own taste so he took his task in another way...He placed his hands on his forehead and made two 'horns' with his index fingers, placing his cane nearby.
"So guys what's this line for anyway? Why'd they make us wait so long? Branding eh? That sounds cool what is it? Flaming hot huh? Well I guess that's...Wait they do what with it?" Hiro conversed with the other cows. "NO! How do we get out of this line!? I'm too young for that! OH NO!" At this Hiro took his cane up with one hand and stabbed it into his chest. "It burns and stings! Finally it's over, oh no! Here it comes again...AHH!!!!" Hiro jabbed himself again with the 'hot iron'.

Lily nearly died of laughter. Suffice to say, had she been sitting ((which if she was she isn't now)) she would have fallen out of her chair. "Bravo!" She said, giving Hiro a literal round of applause.

"BRAVO BRAVO!" Drew cried out, standing up just long enough to give Hiro an ovation. It was a short one and Drew took the chair again quickly.
