It was a Friday night at Paradise Resort, and the girls' shifts were almost over. Emma and Fin were free for the weekend, and Lo decided to leave Kelly with her hands full in the morning because she couldn't get fired right? Her dad owned the hotel, and although she would lower her chances of getting back in the Penthouse, this would be totally worth it.
Fin watched the clock hanging in the hall from room 1209 as it ticked, counting down the 15 minutes she had left until her slumber party with girls (I know they sleep in the same room, but you get the point). The boys were going night surfing so that meant they would have the whole staff house to themselves for a few hours. It was the perfect opportunity for boy gossip, makeovers, games, and quizzes. Tonight was a girls' night!
She looked again; the hand moved to 6:00 PM. Finally! Fin rushed out to meet her friends on the porch and pulled into an instantaneous hug. The three girls squealed and jumped, and headed inside. When they reached their room, Lo dumped all the stuff in her straw tote bag with a fake pink hibiscus flower, onto the floor. There were magazines, make-up, nail polish, a magic 8 ball, hair accessories, beaver tails, candy, chips, and pop.
"NO WAY! LO! Where did you get all this stuff?" Emma screamed.
"I asked Kahuna to take me to town on my lunch break. I've been saving for weeks!" Lo answered.
Fin picked up a bottle of Herbal Essence Color Me Happy shampoo and gave it a weird look. Lo snatched from her hands.
"This is for me. I'm losing my highlights!" she panicked.
"Okay. I was just wondering why we would need shampoo." Fin said.
"So what should we do first?" Emma asked the two.
"I don't know." Fin shrugged.
"I got it! Let's read the magazines." Lo suggested.
Each of the girls picked up a magazine; Emma, a girly magazine, Fin, a surfer magazine, and Lo, a cosmetics magazine. Suddenly, Emma bursted out,
"Hey guys! Look at this!"
They glanced away from their magazines and moved towards Emma.
"Oo! Stone broke-up with his new girlfriend, Hannah! Juicy!" Lo comments.
"Hey, check the embarrassing moments. There's usually a good one or two." Fin laughs.
"Says the girl who got a jellyfish sting and had to have her crush pee on her foot!" Lo giggled.
"Hey! That doesn't count! There's not much you can do for them." Fin yells. Her cheeks burn, and color a candy apple red.
"You didn't deny that you like Reef. Ha!" Emma joins in.
"Well, I don't! I would never like that sexist pig!"
"Uh huh. You want to kiss him. You want to marry him, and have like a hundred of his surfer babies!" Lo repeats.
"I DON'T!" Fin screeches.
"Whoa Fin, chill. We're just teasing." Emma says.
"You're right, it's not a big deal anyways. Just a joke." Fin reassures herself.
"So… beaver tail, anyone?" Lo asks.
"Sure." Emma and Fin answer in unison. A loud grumble echoes through the room.
"Maybe not." Emma groans.
"I still can't believe he did that." Lo says.
"He didn't know. Johnny just thought I didn't like it." Emma replies. After that, Emma started looking through her magazine until she found a quiz, 'How bad do you have it for your crush?'
"Hey, do you guys want to do this quiz?" She holds up the magazine, and the two girls nod their heads.
"I'll ask the questions." Lo sings.
"Then I'll keep track of her answers." Fin says.
Lo takes the magazine. "Okay. First question…" When finished with the quiz, Fin added up Emma's score and she got mostly C's, which means really bad.
"I still can't believe you like my brother. Do you know how weird that makes me feel?" Lo shudders.
"Sorry, I can't help it." Emma blushes.
"I guess it's okay. I'd rather have you as a sister-in-law than that jerk, Kelly. Just don't get yourself hurt, okay? My brother's a real heartbreaker." Lo replies.
"What do you mean? You're brother's really nice, and funny, and cute, and-" Emma starts.
"We get the point! What Lo's trying to say is that Ty is clueless when it comes to girls. They like him, he doesn't notice. Just know, there are plenty of other guys out there besides Ty." Fin explains.
"I tried to get over him, and what happens? I eat garlic and spend two hours in a bathroom with an upset stomach." Emma says, and places a hand on her stomach. Another grumble calls out from her belly.
"Well, what should we do now?" Fin asks.
"Magic 8 ball!" Lo screams. She opens a box, and takes out a pink ball with a mini screen. "I'll ask the ball the first question. Does Fin like Reef?"
"Come on, Lo. I can obviously answer that without the stupid magic ball." Fin complains.
"I know." Lo snickers. "So this ball will only prove your point further. So Magic 8 Ball, does Fin like Reef?" She jingles the ball, and it reads: 'Well, duh." Lo shows the ball to Emma and Fin. Emma starts chuckling and Lo joins in, Fin crosses her arms in frustration.
"Give it here." Fin says grumpily.
"Okay." Lo says in a sing-song voice, and her and Emma began laughing again.
"Dumb Magic Ball, do I like Reef?" she asks angrily. She violently shakes it again, and it reads: 'Of course." In frustration, she shakes it again. 'Yes.' This only makes the two others laugh harder.
"Well, I've learned one thing from that magic 8 ball. It doesn't lie." Lo giggles.
