Chapter 3
Slumber Party? Really Sonny?
After sharing an awkward group hug that Tawni had been literally forced into, the girls exchanged hellos and sat down on the couch. It looked to the blonde as if it was nearly fifty years old and her pink lips quickly contorted in disgust as she tried to sit on the very edge, the cloth was itchy unlike the hot pink leather couches she had at her house. The scent of the house was dingy and smelled to her like a mix of cheese and old people. Glancing around blue eyes landed on all of the tacky furniture and statues, it was worse than Sonny's apartment back in L.A. 'I'm going to die this Summer… what have I gotten myself into?'
Silence passed between the girls as they all fidgeted uncomfortably. No one knew what to say or where to begin. They all three had different ideas of what they had wanted this summer to be.
"So?" Tawni started as she glanced around uncomfortably.
"So." Lucy stated slightly bored of the situation, she had been let down when she saw Tawni instead of Chad at the door.
"So!" Sonny said with excitement as her toothy grin spread ear to ear and she looked from one friend to the other, not discouraged in the least by their attitudes. "Let's get this amazing Summer started! What do you guys wanna do?" Her enthusiasm was almost infectious but the blonde diva was not about to get excited over being trapped in Wisconsin for three months.
"I know this is probably a silly question." Tawni began in a high agitated voice. "But is there a mall in this town?"
As both brunettes burst into snorts and laughter at her question she immediately knew the answer, not that she hadn't known in the first place. The town they were in only had one gas station and one restaurant, which was a Mc. Donalds. 'People here obviously have no need for style…' Blue eyes glanced to her Sonny. 'Obviously.'
"No!" They said in unison before Sonny smiled at her friend gently. "But Tawn, we'll be too busy doing tons of fun things! There won't be any time to shop!"
"No time to shop?" The blonde questioned as any hint of a smile was wiped clean from her face, her blue eyes twitched as she stared at her best friend, shifting uncomfortably. "I'm going to be stuck in this "rest stop" for three months with no shopping?" Her voice was monotone and serious; she had never gone that long without buying something, anything!
"Well, we do have a—" Sonny started with a bright smile on her face and shining brown eyes.
"Yes?" Tawni asked, a smile returning on her face as hope shimmered in her eyes. Maybe there was some place that she could shop after all!
"Calendars and Toys Galore and More!" She said still as excited as she had been prior, it was one of the brunette's favorite stores. It had just about everything a girl could ever need. Calendars, toys, games, stuffed animals, gags, and even milk! Apparently the diva was not as excited by this news as she let out a loud whine "Waaaah!" and fell back into the couch cushions with a pout on her lips and crossed arms. Now completely avoiding eye contact. 'I wish she could just enjoy this…. I really want her to have fun…'
Once again silence filled the room as Tawni pouted, Lucy simply shuffled her feet feeling out of place in her own home, and Sonny tried her hardest to think of something that they could all find fun. Suddenly her brown eyes filled with excitement as she devised a plan, one that would include aspects they all might enjoy, slowly a smile crept across her face as she stated a little too loudly. "I've got it!"
Glancing over the blonde immediately recognized the face. "Oh no!"
"What?" Lucy asked confused by the random high-pitched complaint.
"That's Sonny's I have an idea face!" She groaned out sitting up on the couch. "Which means she has devised some plan that she thinks we are all going to enjoy." As she said this Sonny started to nod her head, the smile never leaving. She truly thought this was the perfect plan. "But we won't."
The brunette's smile fell for a moment at her friends blunt statement. 'How can she know they won't enjoy it? I think it is the perfect plan! This is going to be so much fun!' After mentally convincing herself that this was quite possibly the best idea she had ever had the smile returned on her face even larger than before. Unable to control her excitement her voice came out shaky and high-pitched. "We're going to have a slumber party!"
Lucy grew excited from the news and both of them stood to their feet jumping up and down and squealing in excitement to the blonde's disgust. Tawni simply let out a groan and fell back against the couch as she heard all of their plans and who they were going to invite, she knew there was no way to get out of it. 'Just another sacrifice…'

There were two things that Tawni never thought she would do. One being wearing a set of care bear pajamas, the other being watching Sonny, Lucy and a few of their friends performing a Polly The Polar Bear Puppet Show. Yet, there she was doing both of those things. If anyone asked her why she honestly could not answer them, it did nothing to help with her image. If anything it hurt her image, still, she did nothing to leave.
She even found herself laughing a few times. Though it was because Sonny looked so cute and happy up there, such a simple thing made her so excited, and it was adorable. The diva would pretty much do anything to keep that large smile on her friend's face. 'Gah! I hate that I care…'
Tawni could not help but to roll her blue eyes at all of Sonny and Lucy's friends who were watching the show, all of them were laughing and clapping with each and every joke, which to her seemed childish. They all looked to be between the ages of fifteen and nineteen, this was a show for eight year olds. Glancing toward the brunette wearing the Polly Puppet on her hand she could not help but let a soft smile form. 'At least she is happy…'
Looking toward the table they had set out with food she sighed, there was no caviar, no wine, nothing but cheese, hot wings, and fruit punch. Still, she made her way toward the table reaching down to pick up one of the messy chicken wings between her manicured nails to her own disgust before taking a bite out of it.
"And that kids is why you always brush your teeth twice a day!" Sonny said imitating Polly's voice almost too well for the blonde's comfort.
The curtain closed on the booth signaling the end of the show which caused all of the onlookers to clap excitedly, Tawni merely giving another disgusted look until she took a dainty bite out of the chicken. Blue eyes widened. 'This is delicious! And messy! My lip gloss!' She thought as she set the chicken back down on the plate, wiped her lips and reapplied her lip gloss.
"What'd you think of the show?" Sonny's asked excitedly behind the blonde who jumped at the unexpected sound, before turning to look her friend in the eyes.
'It was lame…' She thought and before censoring it actually said. "It was lame." Seeing the hurt cross brown eyes the diva quickly tried to say something to fix her mistake. "Uh… I mean… well who am I kidding, it was lame. But you were amazing."
Hearing Tawni compliment her completely erased the comment about the show being lame in the young girls mind and the hurt was erased as quickly as it had arrived. "Oh really! Thank you so much! I am so glad you liked it!" Jumping forward she slung her arms around the blonde pulling her into a tight embrace, leaving very little room between their bodies.
Despite how she tried to struggle out of the embrace, while letting out whines and comments about how Sonny should let her go, the blonde realized something. She again actually liked the contact, she didn't want the other girl to let her go, she wanted her to hold her. That realization was terrifying. 'What the hell is wrong with me? Why do I like the feeling of her body against mine, is that—oh god!' A bright blush filled her cheeks and she quickly pushed her friend away putting distance between the two of them trying to catch her breath and regain her normal train of thought.
After being pushed away from her blonde friend the young girl turned back to the group of expectant friends who were awaiting what they would do next. "It's time to watch movies you guys! Get out the sleeping bags!"
Tawni let out a groan yet she could not help but smile slightly when Sonny turned to her, reaching out and grabbing her hand. There it was again that feeling. That spark. She had never felt that way when coming into contact with anyone. 'And why the hell am I smiling?' As much as her mind told her to slap the other girl's soft hand away she did not let go, she let the brunette lead her toward the gathering group on the ground.
"It will be fun Tawn I promise! We have great movie choices and you can lie next to me!" Her smile stretched even further across her face as she let out a squeak and jumped down onto the pile of blankets dragging the blonde down with her.
"Oh yeah, that makes it better." Rolling her blue eyes she glanced away and stated in an angry tone despite the smile on her face. "Like I want to sleep next to you." A blush formed on her cheeks as she realized she was not really protesting and that she did want to sleep next to her. 'Okay… I am officially going insane!'
Sonny forced her lip out pouting as she looked into blue eyes with pleading and excited brown. "But we have Finding Nemo, Ice Age, and for a scary movie Thanks-killing!"
"Thanks-killing?" Tawni questioned with a raise of an eyebrow.
"Yeah! It's about a turkey that kills people! It's so creepy!" She said her voice far too excited for a movie that did not sound all that appealing to the blonde. Once again she thought of a child, who would be scared of a turkey that kills people? It sounded comical.
"It sounds stupid." She responded without caring about how it would hurt her friend, but just as actual hurt crossed her child-like brown eyes the blonde knew once again that she was going to give in to her friend. It seemed she had some power over her to get her to do the most ridiculously lame things in the world. "Fine! I'll watch whatever you guys want!"

'How did I end up in this position?' Tawni internally questioned the situation she had somehow gotten herself trapped in, as blue eyes glanced down to the weight on her chest. That weight being a certain brunette's head.
Usually she would never allow anyone to be this close to her, not a guy, and definitely not a girl she had once claimed to hate. And as with many things she had never thought she would do that night she was allowing this to continue. Even enjoying it as she took in the scent of her friend. It was sweet and unique to Sonny. Something that she had never smelt before and she liked it. Along with this she loved the warmth and softness of her body pressed against her own, the heated breath against her chest that was causing her entire body to shake with each exhale.
'God what is she doing to me?' Slowly she allowed her eyes to wander over her best friend's perfect face, down to her lips which she had the urge to kiss but of course refused herself. 'Those are not okay thoughts!' Gently she reached up and started to stroke her manicured nails through long brown locks.
'Sonny will never know… She is so beautiful…'
