Chapter 1: Planning the Party
Phoebe Burton was walking home from middle school with her best friend, Christina Arden who she has known since kindergarten. "Hey Christina, would you like to sleep over at my house on Friday night?" Phoebe asked. "It will be lots of fun." "Okay, Phoebe," Christina replied. "I don't have any other plans. We can even invite all of our good friends from our school." "Okay, who should we invite?" Phoebe asked. "Let's invite Joni and Kelly," Christina replied. "They may only be in the 6th grade, but they are still our good friends." Christina and Phoebe then walked over to Phoebe's house, where Phoebe's parents, Frank and Helen were in the kitchen, reading the paper. They had plans to go out on Friday night. "Mom, Dad, is it okay if I invite a few of my friends over for a slumber party this Friday night?" Phoebe asked. "Sure," Frank agreed. "But remember, it's for girls only, no boys allowed!" Helen stated firmly. "Okay, Mr. and Mrs. Burton," Christina agreed. "So, do you have any ideas about what we should do for the party, Christina?" Phoebe asked. "We'll talk about it tomorrow at school," Christina asked.
