chanter1944This was always a threat when we were growing up, getting cold water dumped on you if you were lazy and wouldn't get up. *cackles* fic fodder ahoy! Oh those quirky housemates and neighbors... :)

205 words
Ker-splash!
“ARRRRGH!!!”
It’s worth it, to see the shocked, flustered look on the normally well-schooled face, the left-on makeup on eyes and cheeks, the tousled blonde hair. It’s worth it, even through the hail of curses and thrown pillows and dire threats of cruel and unusual punishment, most of it involving clothing dyed pink and snapped guitar strings as Butterfly chases them from the bedroom, silky nightgown fluttering in her wake.
It’s worth it, when Tracy drops the now empty pitcher with it’s dented-in plastic sides in the kitchen sink, then follows Amy out the door in a flurry of slippers and felt pajamas and gales of laughter.
It’s worth waking up the late sleeper, who’ll no doubt be grumpy as hell for the rest of the day... grumpier than usual.
In the end they collapse onto Amy’s threadbare sofa, wiping their hands and then wiping their eyes, subsiding into snickers as Butterfly’s voice railing against them fades to insulted incoherent mutters through the wall.
It’s Amy who breaks the eventual silence.
“that was *so* worth getting’ up at seven-thirty on a Saturday for.”
Tracy stifles another snort of amusement, then sobers enough to answer “Yeah. Damn though Amy, she better not touch my guitar!”

You end the sentence in the word for. Makes the grammar alarms go off in my head, though I suppose it's possible that's how your char talks. Just thought I'd point it out.
