Another knock on the door. Jovianne stood up and groaned. "A knock! There's a doorbell, you know." she turned to open the door and saw Hayley Collins with two children with her. "Don't tell me those are your daughters." Jovianne wondered. Hayley let go of a smile. "No, silly. I am babysitting them. This is Voice." Voice waved towards Jovianne. Jovianne waved back. "and this is Alexandra." the other girl turned towards Hayley. "My name is Misty." Hayley giggled. "Oh, Misty. I forgot." Jovianne let go of a smile. "Please come in to my dwelling." The three entered with Jovianne. Pamela and Naomi continued talking. "Guys, I want you to meet Voice and Misty." Pamela stood up and hugged the two girls. "You two are so cute. Especially your name Voice." Voice let out a smile. Pamela looked at Hayley. "How old are they?" Hayley paused to think for a moment. "Uh. Voice is ten years old, and Britt is six." Misty looked at Hayley again, "My name is Misty." She paused for a second. "I don't like you." Naomi, Pamela, and Jovianne laughed. "Mitzi, it is not nice to tell someone you don't like them." Misty turned around. "My name is MISTY!" Hayley looked at Jovianne. "Jove. Do you have any place they can play?" Jovianne answered, "They can play with us here in the living room?" The doorbell rang. "Finally! Someone who knows how to use the doorbell!" Jovianne walked towards the door, her ponytailed hair followed her. It was Kyle Watts. Naomi's best guy friend. "Bonjour Kyle." Jovianne greeted him. Kyle has always loved Jovianne's accent. Everytime he is bored, he talks to Jovianne just to listen to her accent. "Bonjour." Kyle responded back with a mimic of Jovianne's accent. He let out a small smile, and his dimples was on seen. Jovianne died in the inside. She loves Kyle's dimples and his smile. Kyle walked towards the girls. "Hello, girls." Naomi hugged Kyle. "Hey, Kyle! I thought you're not coming?" Kyle sat down. "My dad's schedule was changed, so he let me." Jovianne sat next to Kyle. "So, isn't it gonna be awkward hanging out with all girls the whole night?" Kyle smiled. "I don't hang out with just girls. I hang out with my homies." Jovianne smiled and gave Kyle a little punch on his arm. His arms are a little hard, Jovianne thougth. Voice and Misty let go and ran around. Hayley chased after them. "So, anything new?" Kyle tried to start a conversation. Pamela started, "Nothing much. It's the same thing over and over again." Kyle turned towards Jovianne. "Me?" Jovianne asked. "Yeah," Kyle replied. Jovianne sat down for a while, thinking of a good answer Kyle would like. "I am trying to learn how to play baseball." Kyle sat up. "For reals? That's so awesome, Jovy." Kyle patted Jovianne on the back. She died a little on the inside. "How about you Naomi?" Naomi smiled. "Just like Pamela, same 'ole, same 'ole."

"Come in." Jovianne opened the door and Suzette and her boyfriend entered. Jovianne ran towards Naomi and grabbed her by the arm, bringing her to one corner. "Who invited Walter?" Naomi looked at Walter. "I didn't." Jovianne groaned. "You know he doesn't us, right?" Naomi nodded. "I know. Just keep it cool." The two returned to the group. Suzette waved towards them, and they waved back. Walter sat next to her, not saying a word. Suzette Smosh was one of Naomi's close friends, but when she started dating Walter Minette, she started to pull away from Naomi. They neither hang out nor speak to each other anymore. This is the first time for a few months that Suzette and Naomi gets to wave to each other. On the other hand, no one knows almost anything about Walter. He is very quiet but scary. He has gangster tattoos, and piercings all over. Most of the time, his eyes are always red. Maybe Suzette is into bad boy types. Suzette stood up and hugged Naomi. "Long time, no see, girl." Suzette let go and cuddled with Walter. Jovianne turned around, disgustedly. "Who would like that boy?" he whispered to Naomi. Jovianne can see a disgusted reaction on Naomi's face. Then, a knock was heard. "Thank God. Something to do besides watching these two make out." Jovianne whispered. She walked towards the door and opened it. Standing behind the door, it was Quynh Tran, Jovianne's only Asian friend. "Jovianne!" Quynh hugged Jovianne. The two didn't let go for a long time. "Oh, my God! I haven't seen you forever!" Quynh entered the house and placed her sleeping bag on the floor. "Queenie!" Pamela hugged Quynh. Then, everyone began hugging Quynh. Naomi, Hayley, Kyle, and Suzette, but not Walter. Quynh grabbed Jovianne's arm. "What is he doing here?" Jovianne rolled her eyes. "No one knows." Quynh groaned. Jovianne went to the table to pick up the movie. "Let's watch the movie so we can cook the pattay!" Jovianne said, as she turn the TV and the DVD player on, and played the movie. Everyone gathered around. Naomi and Jovianne went to kichen and started washing them. "Watch that shelf." Jovianne warned Naomi. As the movie started, Voice and Misty sat down, and Hayley wiped the sweat off of her forehead. Then, she started texting. "Why do you use your phone a lot?" Misty asked. "Because she has a boyfriend, dumbo." Voice replied. Hayley turned to look at them. "No, I do not, Voice. Now, watch the movie." Hayley continued texting.
Naomi and Jovianne were pretty busy. "So, we need to cook fifteen patties, right?" Naomi asked. While turning the gas, Jovianne nodded. Naomi opened a box of patties, and got fifteen patties out. She can hear the movie starting.
Fifteen minutes later...
"And the patties are finished." Jovianne said as she finished cooking the last patty. "Don't forget to turn the gas off." Naomi said. Jovianne didn't seem to hear Naomi and went to the dining room table. "Go get a munch, folks." Everyone got up and took a patty and a hamburger bun. Walter yelled across the house. "Get me one too, Suzy." Suzette turned around and let a small smile. "Aren't Walter using you?" Quynh whispered to Suzette's ear. "Using me? For what?" Suzette giggled and left with two hamburgers with her. One hamburger was for Walter, where a mayo was shaped like a heart inside, which she showed Quynh. Voice and Misty began fighting over the ketchup. "That's enough, girls. Youngers go first." Hayley turned to Voice, and Voice let go. Hayley smiled and returned to the table. "Why did you bring them?" Quynh asked. "'Cause I don't wanna miss the slumber party." Hayley answered. She grabbed a hamburger bun, and went to continue watching the movie. Voice and Misty followed. Everyone chewed on their burgers. Naomi and Jovianne sat down. "'Tis going to be a fun slumber party." Naomi muttered, as she take a big bit of her burger. Joviannen stood up and joined the crowd. Naomi went after her and sat down. "This is one of the best parts of the movie." Jovianne said. Then, everything went black. Naomi can hear everyone groan. "It's alright. It's only a black out." Naomi said. "I'll get that candles." Jovianne sprinted towards the garage and took a box of candles, and lighted them with the lighter Walter gave her. "Here you go." She put a candle in the middle of the group. "One for the kitchen," She walked towards the kitchen and placed the candle next to the sink. "And one for the dining table." Then, she sat down in a circle with a group. "What should we play?" Voice asked. "We should play truth or dare." Misty added. The whole group played except for Walter. "This is so stupid." he whispered to himself.
The house filled with laughter. The girls can barely hear themself speak. It was so noisy. Everyone spoke at the same time. "You pick dare?", "I dare you to call bloody Mary.", "You said truth?", "Have you ever liked Trenton?" , "I never road a boat.", "Unicorns neigh, right?" Everyone has something to say and ask every second. Unknowing to the group, the shelf fell and thumped the candle down, and it landed on the kitchen mat, which was next to the open gasoline. "Does anyone smell gas?" Pamela asked, but no one seemed to hear her. The fire went clser to the gas. "Have you ever tasted a rabbit?", "No, I don't like Matt.", "Mr. Hans is so ugly.", "I am not licking the toilet." The game still continued. Then, the fire touched the gasoline and it made a kitchen explosion.
