OK then:

Later that night, while Daphne was helping Leona, Maya, and Zuma get ready for bed, Theo, and Cleo sipped some tea and had a little chat while the other boys built a tower of cards.

"This is a nice little neighborhood you've got here," said Theo.

"Thanks," said Daphne, "I'm glad you like it."

"It's great to be in Colorado again," said Cleo.

"Be careful now," said Lionel to Steve.

"I'm being careful," said Steve as he tried to place the last two cards at the top.

But just as Steve was about to place the last two cards on, the peace was interrupted by the sound of someone crying.

"That sounds like Maya," said Fred.

"What," exclaimed Steve.

Steve was so caught off guard that he dropped the cards, causing the entire tower to collapse on the floor.

"Oh no," groaned Joe.

"And we were so close," said Fred.

"Sorry," said Steve.

"Don't mind that," said Lionel, "We gotta see what's going on!"

With that, they ran upstairs and sure enough, they found Daphne holding Maya while the latter cried into the former's chest.

"Maya," said Daphne, "it's OK. We'll figure something out."

"What's going on," asked Fred.

"Have any of you boys seen Maya's llama plush," asked Cleo.

"Sorry," said Fred, "I haven't."

"Well," said Theo, "she lost it somewhere and she doesn't know where."

"I can't sleep without Layla," Maya wailed.

"There, there," said Daphne, "we'll find it."

Just then, Lionel had an idea. He ran downstairs, got his Lil' Spidey plush out of his duffel bag, and came back up, holding it up to Maya.

"You can sleep with Lil' Spidey if you want," said Lionel.

"No thanks," sniveled Maya, "You keep him. He's your plush after all. Thanks anyway."

"Maybe one of us should let her share a bunk," said Joe to Steve.

"OK then," said Steve.

Steve reached into his pocket and pulled out a quarter.

"Heads, she sleeps in my bunk, tails she sleeps in yours," said Steve.

"Deal," said Joe.

Steve when flipped a coin and watched it land on "Heads".

"Darn it," said Joe.

"Ha ha," laughed Steve.

Steve then held up the quarter, which turned out to be one of those trick coins with two "heads", which ticked Joe off.

"Hey," said Joe, "that's not fair!"

"I'm just messing with you, bro," said Steve as he punched Joe's shoulder playfully, "you can have her share your bunk."

Maya giggled at this, yet she was still upset about losing her toy.

"Would you like to sleep with me in my bunk," asked Joe.

"Thank you," said Maya.

"We can both share Boris, my stuffed duck," said Joe.

"OK," said Maya.

With that, everyone got in their pajamas, brushed their teeth, and went to bed.
