Rec Room:
5:00 pm
"Mitchie, you should go, I mean don't you have to record your new songs for your album?" asked Peggy.
"Yes, actually I do, but I can wait," she said smiling with that big mouth.
"Well what if my uncle Brown gets mad that you're late, I mean sometimes he's like that to me and my band mates," said Shane.
"Shane, no offense, but you're lousy at lying," she said.
Everyone looked up as if they just saw a ghost.
"Why would you say that?" asked Shane.
"Because, one, when you lie you bite your lip, and look away into the distance," she said.
"Oh bull shit, but still, I want to be the first to listen to your new album!" said Shane excited.
"Oh-kay, I guess I'll go, See you guys in about 2 hours. I'll probably get back around 7:00pm, or so," she said getting her black Old Navy flip flops on. "See you later," she said.
And she was gone.
"Finally! I thought she would never leave!" said Tess getting annoyed.
"Why?" asked Ella.
Everyone turned to her, and stared at her like her brain was full of idiocy.
"Well, since it's her 15Th birthday today, I think we should start planning, instead of staring at me like vultures!" said Ella getting uncomfortable about everyone staring at her.
Everyone laughed contaigously, and got to work....fast. Planning a suprise birthday party for Mitchie, was definately harder, than anyone would expect it.
"Should I get the cake yet?" asked Shane.
"Yes!" everyone exclaimed.
"Oh, I'll help you," said Tess.
"Yeah pushing a cake on a cart with wheels is real hard," said Shane laughing.
Tess, didn't know if he was kidding or not, so she helped him anyways. They both went back to the kitchen, and found it in the freezer, already on one of Mitchie's mom's catering carts.
Shane grabbed both edges of one side of the cart, and Tess did the same, but she was going backwards... in heels.
"Oh my God, I'm going to fall!" yelling Tess.
"No, you can't it'll ruin her cake!" said Shane.
"Okay, but I can't control my clumsiness!" she said laughing.
Shane laughed also, "Don't worry it happens to me billions of times." he said also joining in laughing.
They both got to the empty game room, with only a few games in it. Everyone was setting up everything. The D.J. came already setting up his things, while Ella was fasinated by the double sided tape.
They both set it in the corner of the room, by two racks of cd's everyone liked listening to. Tess went over to help with Peggy put up some posters, and while Shane, Nate, and Jason helped put up the disco ball.
While everyone was getting very hungry.
"Man, I am starving!" said Jason. He darted his eyes to the cake.
"NO!, Don't even go there," said Shane grabbing his arms. "I don't want her cake to be ruined, because of you!" he said very protective.
"You know, your very crabby today, does someone need a nap?" asked Jason.
"Shut up, before I punch you," said Shane.
"Someone is a little feisty!" said Jason making chipmunk noises.
Shane stared at Jason, like he was a monkey on crack.
"Come on, let's get to work, we only have an hour left!" said Nate.
"Were going as fast as we can!" they both said at the same time.
Fifty minutes past quickly, and now there was only ten minutes left before Mitchie came back from recording some of her new songs.
"Ohemgee, ten minutes you guys!" screamed Ella.
"Shush!" demanded Tess putting paper plates on the long narrow table.
"Okay," said Ella calming down.
The clock went by, in a matter of seconds it seemed like. Everyone was hiding in a nice small space, with the lights turned off. The only light that was on was the one from the outside of the glass door, where Mitchie would be arriving back.
There were some faint whispers, and laughs, but Tess got irritated, and told everyone to shut up.
Pure silence.
Pfff....
"Okay, who was that," said Jason in a regular voice.
