To beguile.

What a great word. By definition:

1. To charm and enchant someone (sometimes deceitfully, but not necessarily).

2. To trick

3. To pass time pleasantly.

Not many words can mean two things usually only coupled together by irony (or misfortune), and then to top it off, have a third meaning that can describe the two prior;

whether one is charming or tricking another, they are choosing to spend their time this way and thus passing it pleasantly.

Perfect.
