Summary: Mal is sleeping over at Evie's place one night when she ends up sleepwalking and sleep-eating. Naturally, this leads to trouble. But the type of trouble it caused was what no one could have expected. Let's just say Mal's being a real "baby" about it. Mal and Evie friendship/sister feels, Uma friendship feels with Mal and Evie, Core Four feels, Bal, Huma, Jarlos, and Jaudrey.



   "Evie, can we do the trampolines now?"

"Mal! Look, a Whack-A-Mole!" Evie announced, apparently realizing that her excuse of seeing the trampoline later was getting overused, and she dragged Mal toward a particular stand in the midst of the bustling hubbub of the festival. Uma followed them over, and Mal just groaned as Evie picked Mal up and held her so that she could see the tabletop of the whack-a-mole game.

It had been a little while since Evie's incident with the tunnel, and since then, the three had some water and relaxed at the picnic tables. That was, before Mal started to impatiently whine about wanting to look at more activities. Uma could've sworn that Evie gave in to Mal's every whim.

But she hadn't given in to the trampoline yet, and Uma honestly wished she would.

"Evie!" Mal whined, and Evie just offered the man nearby some money so he would turn on the game. He gave the bluenette a large rubber mallet before activating the tabletop.

"C'mon, M, just try it," Evie told her, and Mal narrowed her eyes irritably as Evie offered the hammer to her. Mal took it, but she didn't stop staring at Evie.

"Y'know, if I didn't know any better, I'd really think that she was about to play Whack-A-Mole on your head," Uma told Evie, watching the two of them with some worry. Evie just smiled widely as she turned Mal to face the tabletop.

"Okay, Mal, go for it. Smack those rats," Evie encouraged, and Mal just gave an overexaggerated eyeroll before starting to try to hit the moles as they popped up. Mal held the hammer in her hands as tightly as she could manage, but she was still a bit wobbly.

She barely managed to hit the first one that apparated before the mole popped up in a different place. Mal reached over, her toddler arms not doing well with the entire idea of coordination, and she aimed for the next one. It quickly dipped down beneath the surface, and Mal successfully missed. Mal tried several more times before just dropping the mallet on the tabletop and looking as if she might cry over the ordeal.

"It's too hard!" Mal howled, sounding near tears at this point, and Evie hugged her closer, kissing the side of the little girl's head comfortingly.

"It's okay, it's okay. It'll be fine," Evie assured her sweetly, nuzzling Mal's hair before sitting her down on the grass nearby. Evie then rolled up her thin sleeves before taking the mallet in her hand firmly.

"Here, I'll take over for you, Mal. I'll win you something good, I promise," Evie assured her, and Evie offered the man more money so that she could go another turn. He cranked it back up and Evie bit her bottom lip slightly as she eyed the tabletop, just waiting for the first mole to appear. Sure enough, one appeared before long, and she reached over and swiftly smacked it.

Several more followed that one in sporadic succession and Evie overdramatically lunged for each one, hitting it with great enthusiasm.

"Boom! Whoa! Bam," Evie exclaimed, laughing a bit as she hit the rodents as they appeared.

Evie hopped toward one that popped up on the left and then she dove for one on the top right. She grinned victoriously as she hurried about. After a moment, Evie paused, waiting on more to spawn.
