'''Chandler:''' ''(doubled over in shock)''

 

A gathering of female characters in a not particularly serious battle or physical challenge for purposes of [[Fan Service|titillation]]. Often, literally, a pillow fight (i.e., at a [[Slumber Party]]) but may include [[Fetish Fuel|similar situations]] like volleyball, particularly when [[Stripperific|wardrobe is skimpy]] and the action is [[Gainaxing|bouncy]].

 

If it actually involves pillows, the chances of said pillows breaking apart and covering the place with their stuffing is fairly high.

{{examples}}

* ''[[One Piece]]'': When the Strawhats spend the night in Yuba, a pillow fight is started when Usopp tries to sleep, [[Blatant Lies|claiming he'd worked hard that day.]] Zoro argrily throws a pillow at him saying he'd rested the most of any of them. Usopp throws one at Zoro as payback, one at Chopper [[Fish Out of Water|for having to be carried the whole way]], [[Rule of Three|and one at Sanji]] for trying to [[Handsome Lech|sleep in Vivi's bed.]] Eventually the four of them start beating each other up.

* Dale Arden vs. Princess Aura in the 1980 ''[[Flash Gordon (film)|Flash Gordon]]'' movie. Real pillow fight.
