The Sleepover

It was finally spring break for Lan and his friends. Lan had planned a sleepover at his house while his parents were out of town. As usual, only Dex, Tori, Yai, Chaud, and of course Maylu to whom he was secretly in love with.

Like any other day, Lan and Maylu were walking home together. They finally reached their houses.

Maylu stopped at Lan's doorstep and said, "Alright, I'll see you at the sleepover tonight! Anyways, I'm going to be coming over in one hour to unpack. Is that okay with you Lan?"

But Lan wasn't listening to a single word. He was merely staring at her. "She's so beautiful," thought Lan.

"Lan? Lan are you okay," inquired Maylu. She gave a heavy sigh and walked away while muttering, "I'll never understand boys."

Lan was still standing there staring at Maylu walking away until his navi Megaman yelled, "Hey, Romeo, are you planning on entering our house or are you going to keep on ogling her. Sigh Maybe you should tell her how you feel. She probably feels the same way towards you."

"No way! She might not feel the same way towards me!"

"You won't know until you've tried."

"But what if she doesn't. I mean she's smart, talented and gifted at piano, and she's cute and beautiful. If I go up to her and tell her that I love her, I'll be making a fool out of myself in front of her and it could wreak our friendship period. End of story! I don't want to talk about it anymore!"

Maylu fell on her bed. Why was he staring at me? She kept trying to make up a possible for Lan's behavior a few minutes ago. Suddenly, her navi named Roll started asking her, "Are you alright Maylu?"

"Yeah, I think I am. I'm just bothered about what happened a few minutes ago. Lan was staring at me and I thought that he was paralyzed or something."

"Oooh. Maylu, you've gotten yourself a boyfriend," teased Roll.

"What? Lan doesn't like me! He probably likes a girl who's a great netbattler like he is."

"So you're saying that you aren't?"

"Well, no. I'm just saying that he could like some other girl. Besides, we don't know for sure whether or not he likes me, although I want him to. Sigh Roll, how can I find out if he likes me or not?"

"Just go up to him at the sleepover tonight and ask him."

"Okay. Well, I've got to start packing."

Lan was laying down on the couch watching television bored out of his mind. Then he decided to go take a bath.

"Oh man. I don't have any clean clothes left. I don't want to walk around in my underwear in front of Maylu."

"Then go put your clothes in the laundry machine. It's about time you did your own laundry instead of making your mom do them all the time."

"Man, I have to do every thing around here."

Yeah right. If you mean watching television, eating, sleeping, and playing video games all day, then you're right… for once.

Lan took all his clothes and put them in the laundry machine (his family has their own). He then took a bath. While he was taking bath, Maylu walked into his house. She heard the water running so she knew he was taking a bath. The water stopped after about seven minutes. She walked upstairs because she wanted to ask him where everybody was going to sleep, hoping of course that she could sleep with him. She opened the door to his room and to her surprise, she saw Lan in pink underwear. Lan turned around and saw her staring at him. Both of them blushed. Lan broke the silence by screaming, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

"I TOLD YOU THAT I'D BE HERE IN AN HOUR WHEN WE WERE AT YOUR DOORSTEP. Besides, shouldn't you put your clothes on in the bathroom?"

"They're in the laundry machine."

Maylu was still staring at him while Lan was looking away, forgetting to cover himself. Maylu summoned the guts to ask, "Shouldn't boys at your age be wearing boxers?"

Lan blushed while replying, "I would but I always wear shorts. If I wear boxers, then it would show right below my shorts. Listen, Maylu, could you not mention to anyone what just happened right now?"

"Okay."
