That's awesome!" he couldn't help but yell out. 2:30 am. It was a new record, and he and Pam had, in their past, set some pretty late records. None of them had surpassed 1:45, though, so this new one was one for the mental record books.
"Hey, why don't we just spend the night in here? It's safer in a number of ways, and we will have everything we need in the morning!" he posited, simultaneously wishing up a humongous bed that was set into the floor. It was big enough to sleep the three of them, and Poppy, comfortably, but not inappropriately. The thought of that reminded him, though. "Poppy, time for bed!" he called to the still-bouncing elf.

comfy pajamas formed on her. She ran over to the huge bed, almost falling over twice, on the way. She dolphin dived onto the bed, spreding her arms out. "This is the most comfertable bed ever!" She said in excitement.
Jez laughed as the bed appeared in the Room. She grabbed Nate's hand and took a flying leap on the bed after Pam. The bed was kind of bouncy - soft, comfortable, but still retaining a bounciness. "I love this room," said Jez into a pillow. Her dress had changed into comfortable blue pyjamas, much like her favourite pair currently slipped under her pillow up in the dorms.
She seemed to be tireder than she had realised, because she could hardly keep her eyes open now. She flopped over onto her back, her arm dropping over the side of the bed and her fingers brushing the floor, and watched Pam and Nate out of half-closed eyelids, a small smile playing on her lips. "Hey, she said softly. "You know it's only a few days until Christmas, right?" The first one without her family. Jez had to swallow a lump in her throat, but it just came back. Nate wouldn't have his parents this Christmas either. Pam wouldn't have her mother, and might not have her father either - Jasper could be dead for all Jez knew, since she hadn't had any more information on him since the Barstow house fire.
She suddenly missed her family more than ever, especially Than. She missed them all, just because of a holiday. Jez turned over and put her head back into the pillow, trying to pretend to be asleep, not wanting her friends to see her let her guard down.
