Under a blanket tent, sharing a smile, two boys play online games past their bedtime. Hoping Mom wouldn't make her rounds for a while; hushing each other when excitements climb. Two boys play online games past their bedtime; budding friends, forging friendships that last. Hushing each other when excitements climb, laughing and giggling, they're having a blast. Budding friends, forging friendships that last, challenging each other in games of skill. Laughing and giggling, they're having a blast; and if Mom hadn't caught them, they'd be there still. Challenging each other in games of skill, hoping Mom wouldn't make her rounds for a while. And if Mom hadn't caught them, they'd be there still, under a blanket tent, sharing a smile.

Sweet verses, Emile. I hadn't thought that the third person was "Mom" before your poem. Yes, the one on the right appears to be her. Nice job and approached from a new and different angle. Best wishes in the contest.
