Chapter 2. Three Weeks.
Sam pulled into the driveway. She had just been shopping for the party. Oh why oh why did she have to say dare?
Just then Jack came out of the house and saw Sam's car. "Sam!" He said as he came closer. "Welcome home."
"Jack," Sam said. "I only went shopping."
He smiled, "I know." He looked in the car. "OK, I give up. Where are the groceries?"
Sam held up a little bag. "Right here."
Jack looked inside the bag. "Why do you need dummy books?" He took out the books and read the titles. "Partying for Dummies? Cooking for Dummies?"
"Hey, give those back!" Sam said playfully. "They're for the party." She took them back, got out off the car and went inside.
*One hour later*
Jack flopped down on the couch next to Sam, grabbing the book she wasn't reading. "So, where do we start?"
"I started forty minutes ago. Vala said I couldn't get any help remember?"
"Well what Vala doesn't know won't hurt her." he said as he leaned in for a kiss. "Better?" he asked.
"Yeah, I guess I'm just stressed. How am I supposed to throw the best party ever in only three weeks?" Sam said.
"You'll do it." Jack reassured her. "You blew up that sun, remember?"
"How can I forget?" Sam asked. "With everyone reminding me." Sam looked at the wall clock. "I better get back to planning."
Jack changed his expression to an innocent one. "You sure you don't need any help?"
"Yes, I'm sure-" Sam smiled. "Well, I guess what Vala doesn't know really won't hurt her."
"OK! Let's do this!"
*Three hours later*
"OK, what the heck does fancy napkins have to do with a good party?!?" Jack said after he read chapter 5. of Partying for Dummies.
"I don't know but that's one more thing to add to the list." Sam said as she wrote something on what was now a very large shopping list. "OK, next?"
"Uh, looks like it's gonna be bed time."
"What?" Sam asked, then she saw the clock. "1:00 in the morning?"
"Yep, come on." Jack said.
"OK..." Sam was obviously very sleepy.
Read and review! Next chapter out in a day or two.
